Did you know?
Santa Rosa City is named after St. Rose of Lima, the Patron
of: Americas, Central America, Peru, Phillippines,
South America, India, New World, florists, gardeners,
and people ridiculed for their piety.
St. Rose was born in Lima, Peru, on April 20, 1586,
and died there on April 30, 1617. She had great reverence
and pronounced love for all things relating to God,
and had an intense devotion to the Infant Jesus and
His Blessed Mother.
Her life was given up to prayer, mortification and penances in expiation for offences against His Divine Majesty,
for the conversion of sinners, and for the souls in Purgatory.
Her days were filled with acts of charity and industry, her exquisite lace
and embroidery helping to support her home. In her twentieth year she received the
habit of St. Dominic.
Many miracles followed her death, and in 1667 she was beatified by Clement IX.
St. Rose was canonized by Clement X in 1671, the first American
to be so honored. Her feast is celebrated August 30.

About Us
Santa Rosa Magazine is the e-zine of Santa Rosa City, Laguna, Philippines.
Has anyone ever asked you what living in the Philippines is like? Well, this is exactly what we're about.
Santa Rosa Magazine is a social magazine of the people, by the
people and for the people who live, work, study and play in
Santa Rosa, Laguna - and for those who would like to and
are planning to.
Right now the eyes of the world are on us. Not only because of our most recent calamitous natural disasters, but also because
the Philippine nation shines out like a beacon in the
present global financial crisis. Our economy and currency
are among the strongest on the planet, and our potential
to lead the world rapidly out of its crisis with inspirational
new development and growth is second to none.
In terms of normal life and social conditions here, until now the eyes of the world have seen only bad news
of Philippine corruption and murder on their televisions
or in their newspapers. Our mission at Santa Rosa Magazine
is to show them that there is another side to the coin by bringing them good
news about life in our very fortunate city.
Santa Rosa is a growing community of Filipinos and foreigners, perfectly located within
commuting distance of Manila and with the best selection
of modern, international standard, residential subdivisions
in the whole country. And this can be a wonderful country
to live in. We generally enjoy a great climate, and opportunities
are now increasing for us all to lead happy, successful,
rewarding lives.
The best news is that we are the friendliest and most
talented people in the universe. The millions of OFWs
are already demonstrating this around the world. So
let's give them our appreciative support from home wherever
they are. Don't hold back. Express yourself. Tell everyone
about it! This country deserves world recognition for what
is good here, and with God's help the bad will become redundant and be converted.
Whether you live in Santa Rosa City or somewhere else in
the Philippines, or anywhere else in the world, the Santa
Rosa e-zine enables you to read online about the good life here.
Please revisit this website frequently for the latest updates.
