Cainta (historical polity)
Historical polity in present-day Philippines / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In early Philippine history, the Tagalog bayan (Kapampangan: balen; "country" or "polity")[2] of Cainta was a fortified upriver polity that occupied both shores of an arm of the Pasig River. It was located not far from where the Pasig River meets the Lake of Ba-i and is presumed to be the present site of the municipality of Cainta, Rizal.[3]
