San Pedro, officially the City of San Pedro (Filipino: Lungsod ng San Pedro), is a 3rd class component city in the province of Laguna, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 326,001 people.[8][12]
It is named after its patron saint, Saint Peter.[13]
San Pedro has been dubbed as “dormitory town” of Metro Manila and migrants from other provinces commuting everyday through its highly efficient road and transport system. Despite being one of the smallest political units in the entire province, with a total land area of only 24.05 square kilometers (9.29 sq mi), San Pedro is the 5th most populous city (out of 6) after the cities of Calamba, Santa Rosa, Biñan and Cabuyao. The city also has the highest population density in the province of Laguna and in the whole Calabarzon region, having 14,000 inhabitants per square kilometer (36,000/sq mi).[13] As a first class municipality, it became a component city of Laguna by virtue of Republic Act No. 10420 dated March 27, 2013.[14]
