MARIKINA

             We revolutionized the local shoe industry when it was deemed beyond our dreams. We spearheaded the leather industry when it was young and barely breathing. We revitalized a dying river- the body of water best associated with the birth of civilization and the rise to greatness of the entity we call the human being. Our name may be the subject of myth , of legend , of folklore, of historical speculation, all of which are ultimately inconsequential for our actions will always speak louder than words. The past…. merely a part of history. The future….what we accomplish in the present. Marikina . A place where dreams are built and change is an everyday word. Twenty-one point five square kilometers.; four hundred eighteen thousand six hundred fifty nine loyal citizens; one hundred thirty-three educational institutions from Pre-school to Tech-Voc and Colleges most of which caters to the emerging needs of the ICT market including STI COLLEGE in Concepcion, OLOPSC, IETI, EITEC and Roosevelt ; two hundred ninety five health institutions; three thousand three hundred twelve peace and order personnel with a 98% Crime Solution Efficiency Rate; six fire prevention stations; thirty seven banks; and twenty top industries from major food manufacturers like Purefoods and Nestle Philippines to cutting edge alternative businesses like Arms Corporation of the Philippines and Riverbanks Development Corporation. In Marikina we pride ourselves in being a bastion of change and innovation as well as the steadfast upholders of the democratic ideals. A government of the people , for the people and by the people. Israel built a paradise out of a desert. Korea carved a kingdom out of a mountain. Singapore engineered a developmental empire out of an island. The vision called Marikina. Reconstructing past Philippine dreams into a reachable reality.
