San Juan is a city in the Philippines. It is one of the cities that comprises Metro Manila, the National Capital Region of the Philippines. It is the smallest city in the country in terms of land area.It was formerly known as "San Juan del Monte", meaning "Saint John of the Mountain". San Juan is the site of the first battle of the Katipunan, a Filipino revolutionary organization during the Spanish colonial period, that occurs in 1897.Etymology"San Juan City" is a contraction of the city's longer, ceremonial name of San Juan del Monte . As with numerous other places in the Philippines, the city is christened after John the Baptist, the city's patron saint, and the hilly terrain it is situated on.GeographyIt is bordered by Quezon City on the north and east, Mandaluyong City on the south, and the City of Manila in the west.The territory of San Juan was once much larger than it is presently, stretching all the way to Caloocan City. Parts of what are now Districts 1, 2 and 4 of Quezon City as well as parts of Mandaluyong were originally within San Juan's territorial boundaries. This explains why San Juan Reservoir is in nearby Horseshoe Village, a subdivision currently under the jurisdiction of Quezon City.
