Binangonan

Binangonan de Lampon lies on the eastern coast of Luzon, facing the Pacific beyond Lamon Bay. Mountains rise inland behind the coastal plain. Local history credits the chief Diego Mangilaya with developing the settlement in 1696. In 1803 Captain Pedro de León attached Binangonan de Lampon to Nueva Ecija. Its name distinguishes it from the other Binangonan on the shore of Laguna de Bay, across the mountains to the west.
