Album Info:
The name "Antipolo" was derived from the Tipolo (breadfruit or “rimas”) tree (Artocarpus incisa) which was in abundance in the area during the early Spanish colonization. Antipolo was also derived from the Greek words "antirl" meaning "a source of many products". Franciscan missionaries arrived in Antipolo in 1578 and built a church in Boso-Boso. In 1591 they were replaced by the Jesuits who organized the village into a parish. They built a chapel at Sitio Sta. Cruz. By 1601 there are about 3,000 Christians residing in Antipolo. At about the same period, the Negrito population dwindled, as they moved deeper into the mountains. (Taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antipolo_Ci ty)
