The Emerald Portal to Calabarzon: Muntinlupa City

 

Muntinlupa City was once an agricultural town mostly devoted to livestock farming. It transformed into the new residential haven in the southernmost part of Metro Manila, bordered on the east by Laguna de Bay; on the southwest by the provinces of Laguna and Cavite; on the west by Las Piñas; on the northwest by Parañaque; and, on the north by Taguig City. Due to its general topography, which is hilly, this diminutive población was referred to by its citizens during the Spanish period as “monte de lupa,” a vernacular phrase meaning “hills” from which, many believed the name of Muntinlupa coined. Just a few decades ago, this place was at the receiving end of unfair jokes and bad press and has received excessive infamy. The mere mention of the word “Muntinlupa” always suggested the terrifying image of the New Bilibid Prison which is located within its jurisdiction. However, profound advancement, particularly the Alabang and Madrigal Business Center district, has a way of changing for the better negative remarks and impressions created by the stigma of it being the home of toughened offenders, but it was dubbed by the Department of Tourism as the “Emerald City”.

Adjacent to the lake is a recreational area where visitors can birdwatch, fish, and have picnics.

Situated a few meters from the lakeshore is the Memorial Hill, a small hill discovered in the NBP compound that showcases a vintage mortar from World War II. The hill is legendary for it is where the remains of Major Eriberto B. Misa Sr., the Prison Director from 1937 to 1949, was buried. The hill was named in honor of his great service of developing programs for prisoners’ recreation while inside Bilibid Prison and he was the longest-serving prison director to date.

Similarly, within the NBP, the Japanese Garden Cemetery is devoted to the Japanese soldiers who were detained in Muntinlupa during World War II.
