The City of Santa Rosa is known for many reasons.  It is the Investment hub of South Luzon, having four (4) PEZA-accredited economic zones; it is the MotorCity of the Philippines, being home to four (4) of the major car assemblers in the country.  It the ICT hub of Region IV-A and the Next Wave City in the country with many BPO companies eyeing the city as its home.

With all of these, we want the City of Santa Rosa to become known as the Lion City of South Luzon.  We want to represent the country’s persistence and resoluteness amid adversity; we want to symbolize the country’s pride and strength as a nation.

THE LION CITY OF SOUTH LUZON

The City of Santa Rosa has lived up to its symbol – the lion.  Its economy is vibrant and booming, and, so to speak, roaring like a lion.

It is one of the fastest growing economies in the Philippines.  From a fourth-class municipality in 1986, Santa Rosa became a first-class town in 1993, and was subsequently converted into a city by virtue of Republic Act No.  9264 passed by the Philippine Congress on March 10, 2004.  Santa Rosa officially became the 101st city in the Philippines on July 10, 2004.

In just three years since its conversion into a city, Santa Rosa has distinguished itself, gaining reputation for many of its economic successes.  From an income of less than Php 600 million in 2003, the City’s income breached the one billion mark in 2007, placing it among the Billionaire’s Club of local government units in the Philippines.

The City is the headquarters to some of the major corporations in the Philippines.

TOP NEXT WAVE CITY OF THE PHILIPPINES

The position of the City of Santa Rosa as the next best location for the BPO industry was affirmed when it was cited as the second in the Next Wave Cities in the Philippines outside Metro Manila in terms of outsourcing.  The recognition was given by the Commission on Information and Communication Technology (CICT) together with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and Business Processing Association of the Philippines (BPAP).

The City Government was instrumental in the formation of the Laguna Information Network and Knowledge in Information Technology or LINK-IT, a private entity that will lead the way for our City to become one of the country’s premiere and globally-competitive ICT centers.
