San Jose, officially the Municipality of San Jose (Tagalog : Bayan ng San Jose), is a 1st class municipality in the province of Batangas, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 79,868 people. [4]
The municipality is bounded in the north and north-east by Lipa, east by Ibaan, south by Batangas City and San Pascual, and west by Cuenca and Alitagtag.
The Aetas were the first inhabitants of the place. They started clearing some portions of the wilderness especially in areas near the riverbanks. Several groups of settlers then drove this Aetas to the hinterlands and permanently occupied the place. They named it “Malaquing Tubig” which literally translates to "big river" referring to body of water that cuts through the central portion of their early settlement.
The Spaniards then colonized the Philippines in 1565. Bauan was established in 1596 as an ecclesiastical unit administered by the order of Saint Agustin with Malaquing Tubig as one of the barrios under its jurisdiction.
Human population of Malaquing Tubig started to grow and in 1754, Taal Volcano erupted destroying the original Bauan. And before its actual site could have been selected, Malaking Tubig was separated from Bauan. The recognized leaders of Malaquing Tubig then petitioned to the Spanish authorities for the creation of that place as a pueblo which was granted to them on April 26, 1765.
Established on April 26, 1765, as the town of San José de Malaquing Tubig, it once formed part of Bauan, and in the new town's establishment, it originally included the land that now makes up the Municipality of Cuenca.
San Jose is located at 13°52′38″N121°06′18″E / 13.8772°N 121.105°E .
According to the Philippine Statistics Authority, the municipality has a land area of 53.29 square kilometres (20.58 sq mi) [6] constituting 1.71% of the 3,119.75-square-kilometre- (1,204.54 sq mi) total area of Batangas.
San Jose is 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) from Batangas City and 90 kilometres (56 mi) from Manila.
