This city is between the business district and the rural areas of the East. Our city is mistaken as a province but it’s not. It is known as one of the oldest places in the East and it is famous for the variety of food sold in this city.

Cainta is a borderline of Metro Manila and Rizal province. We may be in a province, but we are near the capital of Philippines. We are part of many modernized cities and have big establishments that can provide any needs and wants. Transportation in and out of our city are mainly consists of tricycles and jeepneys.

This city is close to the National Capital Region. This characteristic makes travelling to and from Manila easier. A lot of employees and workers live here because they can save a lot of money. On the other side of this region, there are good travelling sites you can venture to. Antipolo City, which is famous for their water resorts, is just an hour or two away.

Someone should consider moving here is we have a lot a beauty view like mountain, rivers that are clean. They should also consider moving here because of the people are the most friendly people you could ever meet in your whole life, people living helps each other and always happy.

Cainta is pretty noisy. Another thing you need to consider is that my place is so hot. You need a lot of patience especially with the noisy neighbors. My place can be easily flooded especially on rainy season. If you need to focus you need earphones.

Be ready to wait in traffic for a long time, since our city here has very small roads. Secondly, the prices of food or basic necessities are pretty cheap, that is one of the best perks in this city. There are many snatchers, so be mindful of you things when wandering around.

Cainta is the first-class municipality in the province of Rizal, Philippines. It is one of the oldest municipalities in Luzon. It serves as the secondary gateway to the rest of the Rizal province from Metro Manila. Cainta faces different challenges especially with its boundary disputes with Pasig. Cainta has qualified for cityhood, due to its high population and high income. However, boundary disputes with neighboring cities and municipalities prevent the municipality from being a city. There was an attempt to convert Cainta into a city in 2003.

Cainta is more like a town than a city. It’s more quiet, has more vegetation, and less road traffic. Buying a property is easier and cheaper as well considering that real estate is skyrocketing in most places in the state. I recommend visiting the nearby waterfalls at coffee shops in Antipolo for a relaxing getaway.

Our city has a lot of beautiful scenery. If you don’t like very hot weather, then you should consider your decision to move here. On the contrary, low areas in our city are prone to floods during rainy days. However, the officials are doing their best to fix the problems.

Our city is peaceful. A province be like environment. People are friendly and shows care to everyone. They will make you feel that you are a family. Talking with a smile on their faces and full of positives in life. They also have a simple lifestyle which I really like.

Our city is filled with industrial businesses. Traffic can become quite heavy during the rush-hour, as there are a lot of trucks that come and go within the vicinity. Despite it being near the metropolitan, our city is still in a provincial area. It’s still difficult to find a high-paying job.

Jomarie, says: 2020

Cainta lies close to three different cities, specifically, Marikina City, Antipolo City, and Pasig City. Because of this, it becomes easy to acquire different goods and services from neighboring cities. The mayor also works hard to ensure the cleanliness and growth of Cainta. Although it is still not an established city as of the moment, Cainta grows day by day to keep up with the growth in other cities.

If someone wants to move here, he or she should consider buying houses where the drainage is working properly; most parts of this city usually gets affected by flood easily. They should also remember the schedule for garbage collection since currently we’re on a once a week schedule.

Despite this, its 1st-class facilities and respectable urban development deem it to be one of the best livable places in the country.

For someone moving here/province, please consider that the primary commute here are jeepneys and tricycles. Taxis are rarely seen here unless if you are going to be using an online taxi-service. It is also a quite crowded area so expect to see people even at late hours.

Caintenos, as what people are called, celebrate this vibrant festival with colorful-inspired-rice-cakes home decor and street dancing.

Cainta is a mess of zones, areas are controlled by so many mayorships that it can be confusing at most. Example one road is controlled by mayorship A and the other mayorship B, in that sense if we want one part of the road to be fixed we have to ask two different mayors to actually do their job.

It is not the best city you could live in but it is manageable for everyone in different races and aspects.

I someone will be moving to my city, I would strongly suggest not to do it. My city is okay; however, we are experiencing heavy traffic jams in our area. For example, you have an appointment somewhere at nine in the morning, you need to leave your home at five in the morning. Although, there some good sides as well. First, our city is commercialized and you will find whatever you need. Second, people are friendly and will be aiding you if you need a hand. most foreigners tend to move to our city because the land here is cheaper, so you would be able to build your dream house.

Cainta is part of the small city in Luzon. Community here are simply ordinary just like the other cities around in Metro Manila. Among being the simplest one it has a unique characteristics which others really don’t know. It’s location is between in the proper city and going to province.

Cainta is not quite a city of Rizal yet. It is a town known for its love for food. This is where the name of the town came from. In Filipino, we say “Kain tayo.” This means, “Let’s eat,” which was shortened and resulted into the name of the town. As a lover of food myself, I have always enjoyed pop-up restaurants and hole-in-the-wall establishments that provide great food in the area.

Everyone will be glad about living in our town because of abundant rice cakes, the culture prospers, we’re near the metropolis but somehow far from busy cities. Our community is active in conducting different activities in helping the citizens with their livelihood, leisure, and more programs that the government or non-government organizations will administer.

Before someone consider moving here, Cainta, they must pick a perfect and well structured house preferably at the village. They should also consider that there is also traffic in our city, especially during rush hours. schools, there are only few schools in our city. Though, there are many nice people around and there are many malls, hospitals, fast food chains and more.

Cainta isn’t officially a city (it’s a municipality) in the Philippines, but since it is industrialized and is nearly as busy as major cities, this misconception occurs most of the time. The difference between Cainta and the cities in the country is that residents like to celebrate events in a very festive way, unlike the more urbanized areas. Once in here, you will feel the hearty welcome that exudes from this municipality.

our city is in a great place so that is why other people move to our city. However, other cities are not good at businesses. You need to think about where is the best place with family because they will affect to your family on where are you located.
