  • Santa Maria, at 126 km2 is the 3rd largest town in Laguna in terms of land area, after San Pablo City and Calamba City. It is surrounded by the towns of Tanay (Rizal) on the northwest; Mabitac on the southwest, Famy on the southeast (both in Laguna); and Real (Quezon) on the northeast. It is the northernmost town in Laguna. Bounded by the provinces of Rizal and Quezon from the western portion up to the northern tip down north eastern part, the town has a mountainous terrain. With the MARILAQUE Sub-Regional Plan (Manila-Rizal-Laguna-Quezon), the municipality functions as link between the highly industrialized capital and the marine life-rich Quezon province. A 43 kilometer road network, the Marcos Highway, physically connects to the eyed site for the International Port. Silangan Railway Express 2000 (MARILAQUE Railway) is another infrastructure project proposed for implementation under the BOT Scheme. Santa Maria is politically subdivided into 25 barangays.
