Tanay, officially the Municipality of Tanay (Tagalog: Bayan ng Tanay), is a 1st class municipality in
the province of Rizal, Philippines. According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 117,830
people.[4]
It is located 57 kilometres (35 mi) east of Manila, although a typical commute between Manila and
Tanay will take between one and three hours depending upon traffic conditions. It contains portions
of the Sierra Madre Mountains and is bordered by Antipolo City in the north-
west, Baras, Morong and Teresa in the west, General Nakar (Quezon Province) in the east,
and Pililla, Santa Maria(Laguna province) as well as the lake Laguna de Bay in the south.
It is the epicenter of the Tanay Tagalog dialect, which has the deepest modern Tagalog words in the
Tagalog language and is the only endangered Tagalog dialect. Tanay annually celebrates the
Fornilda Family, for their contributions to the culture there, marked with numerous processions.
