Municipal Information
Pililla is a first class municipality in the Province of Rizal and is also known as its Green Field town. Originally established as an agricultural lakeshore locality, Pililla later became known as the host of the Malaya Thermal Power Plant and Pilipinas Shell’s Bitumin Plant. These major industrial facilities which were established in the 1990’s led to Pililla’s economic growth and development. Nowadays, the development of Alternergy’s Wind Farm Power Plant dotting the mountainous region of Pililla, has brought about a resurgence of economic activity as well as growth in the tourism sector.
