LAGUNA Located 30 kilometers from the City of Manila, is the first province south of the Metro Manila area. It is bounded on the north by Laguna de Bay and the province of Rizal, on the northeast by the Sierra Madre Mountain range, on the east by Quezon Province, on the south by Batangas, and on the west by Cavite. Laguna's proximity to Metro Manila makes it a strategic site for domestic and International business. The Ninoy Aquino International Airport is a 1-1/2 hour drive from Calamba's industrial estates. The Manila International Seaport is 2 hours away. Laguna is also within commuting distance from Makati, the country's main business and financial center.

Laguna is easily accessible to the agricultural provinces of Batangas and Quezon. It has ready access to the resource-rich provinces of Marinduque, Mindoro, Palawan, and Romblon through the Batangas and Quezon ports. The completion of the Batangas Port (a world-class international container and passenger port) will further enhance Laguna's strategic location. The province is relatively dry from November to April and wet during the rest of the year for a small portion near the southern boundary. The other parts, west of Santa Cruz municipality, experience a dry season from November to April and rainy season during the rest of the year. The eastern and southern most portions do not have distinct season, with rainfall more evenly distributed throughout the year.
