This is a video demo tour about Calamba, Laguna this is a shorter version than the documentary version.
In this video we segregated the various places that you would expect to see in Calamba, including of course the home of our national hero, Jose Rizal, the Giant Banga, the house of Arambulo, St. John Baptist Church and even a a view of Mount Makiling.

Here is the Origin why the place was called Calamba.
The legend stated that there were two "guardias civil" or soldiers who were lost and where just passing through what is now Calamba. The soldiers met a young lady who came from the river carrying a jar of water and a wooden stove. The soldiers unintentionally spoke to her in an authoritative tone, and asked the woman the name of the place they were in. The lady, who speaks only her native language and therefore could not understand Spanish, naturally thought she was being interrogated about what she was carrying and nervously uttered "kalan-banga", meaning "clay stove" (kalan) and "water jar" (banga). however because the Spaniards could not pronounce it properly, the town was supposedly called Calamba.
Added Trivia:
Calamba is located at the tip of Laguna de Bay a blessing to many fisher folks; on the north by Cabuyao, also an upcoming industrial municipality, on the south by Los Baños a place noted for its natural springs and the internationally known University of the Philippines; on the west by Santo Tomas, Batangas, a town noted for its coffee, sugarcane and coconut plantation.

This posters are pegs made to match the video tour we created, featuring some of the hot spots in Calamba, where we used the graphics in a way that it looks like still pictures or images taken from the video, like thumbnails that promote the video.
We believe that The Philippines have so much more to offer and so many places that even most Filipinos have not been to, that is why we opted to focus entirely to promote one place that we actually went to to document, gather information and to experience first hand the location so that we can better understand and get the sources directly from the origin and to learn more about the history of our Culture and how much it has rapidly changed.
Ultimately the best part of the trip was seeing how things stayed the same even after all this years and years of preservation, its just amazing to bask in the feeling of how people during the time of Jose Rizal had lived and how everything that defines the modern time of today still stands just as it was during the past.
The reason we made them in this manner is for them to act in a way that would be appealing to stand as an ad for the place and at the same time promote the culture and heritage of our country.
