Cardona, officially the Municipality of Cardona (Template:Lang-tgl), is a 3rd class municipality in the province of Rizal, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 50,143 people.[4]

Cardona is part of the 2nd Congressional District of Rizal.

Located about 42 Km east of Manila. With the continuous expansion of Metro Manila, the municipality is now part of Manila's conurbation which reaches Cardona in its easternmost part.

In 1855, Cardona became a town with boundaries set in 1857. Later in June 1901, Cardona formed part of the newly-created Province of Rizal through Act 137 promulgated by the Philippine Commission. In 1903, a suceeding Act annexed the town to the Municipality of Morong. Eleven years then, the Executive Order 108 issued by Governor General Francis Burton Harrison has established the town as an independent municipality.

Etymology

Cardona is believed to derive its named from a town in Barcelona, Spain. Oral folklore, however, tells how the name “Cardona” was derived from the Spanish word “caldo” referring to a native rice broth. Supposedly, a stranger walking through the street of the town happened to ask the name of the town from a native, who at that time was enjoying a bowl of hot “caldo”. Thinking that the stranger was inquiring as to what he was eating, the native answered “Sapao! Caldo!”

Barangays

Cardona is politically subdivided into 18 barangays, [3] 11 of which are on the mainland and 7 on Talim Island.
