San Pedro City, (Filipino: Lungsod ng San Pedro), is a first class city in the province of Laguna, Philippines. It is named after its patron saint Saint Peter. According to the 2010 census, it has a population of 294,310 inhabitants. Despite being the third smallest in the entire province, with a total land surface area of only 24.05 km2, San Pedro has the highest population density in the province.
Aside from being a primarily suburban community, San Pedro also hosts a large number of factories. Among them include Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Alaska Milk Corporation and General Milling Corporation.
On March 27, 2013, President Benigno Aquino signed the 64-page Republic Act No. 10420 converting the municipality into a new component city of the province of Laguna. The cityhood of San Pedro would be ratified through a plebiscite to be scheduled by the Commission on Elections. The tentative date for the ratification is on December 28, 2013 after the National Barangay Elections. Once ratified, it will be the sixth city of Laguna after the cities of Biñan, Cabuyao, Calamba, San Pablo and Santa Rosa, and also the third to be a city in the 1st congressional district of Laguna - making it the first city district in the province. The plebiscite was scheduled to be held on 28 December, 2013.
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) yesterday officially proclaimed the first-class municipality of San Pedro as a component city of Laguna.
Juanito Icarro, regional director of Comelec 4-A and 4-B, and Marianne Marfori, provincial election supervisor, made the proclamation at the town hall after San Pedro residents voted for the cityhood in a plebiscite Saturday.
“Yes” votes for cityhood totaled 16,996, and “No” votes, only 869, in 501 clustered precincts in San Pedro.
Icarro said only 11 percent of 165,777 registered voters in San Pedro’s 20 barangays took part in the plebiscite.
Local officials led by Mayor Lourdes Cataquiz and her husband, former mayor Calixto Cataquiz, were elated by the plebiscite results and thanked President Aquino, Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr. and Sen. Ferdinand Marcos Jr. for supporting the cityhood campaign.
