Marikina is named as the Shoe Capital of the Philippines.
Its history :
The first recorded foreigners who arrived in the city were the Augustinians, a Catholic religious order, in the year 1570. They arrived in the spot now known as Chorillo, in Barangka. The Jesuits came next and established as mission and built a chapel in a place now called Jesus dela Peña. In that place, the first mass was held in 1680. On April 16, 1630, Fray Pedro de Arce, apostolic ruler of the Archbishop of Manila, approved the transfer of ecclesiastical contraol and supervision to the Jesuit, and settled a place as a town. The town was later called as “Mariquina” in 1787, named after Felix Berenguer de Marquina who was the governor-general at that time. Later the town was declared a pueblo under the Spanish colonial government. That year, Don Benito Mendoza became the first Governadorcillo of Mariquina.
Year 1887, Mariquina emerged as a town of shoemakers through the efforts of Don Laureano “kapitan Moy” Guevarra. He was said as the Father of Shoe Industry in the Philippines. He was assisted in this effort by Tiburcio Eustaquio, Ambrocio Sta. Ines and Gervacio Carlos.
Mariquina became the capital of the Province of Manila (which then included Rizal) in 1898, when the Philippine Revolution broke out.
On June 11, 1901, just after the Americans took possession of the country, the name of the town “Mariquina” was changed into Marikina. After creation of many provinces and towns, Juan Chanyungso became the first Mayor in the year 1938.
However, in the year 1942, the Japanese Imperial forces occupied Marikina. And in 1945, the place was liberated by the combined U.S. and Philippine Commonwealth ground troops who attacked the Japanese Imperial Army by artillery from Quezon City. There were lots of destruction during this siege with a number of civilian casualties of 400.
The work ethic of the people led them to continue their shoe making industry after World War II. Through this, they were prepared for the arrival of heavy industries and was finally named as the “Shoe Capital of the Philippines”.
