Liliw

Liliw is a town in Laguna, in the Philippines.

Understand

This town has a vibrant shoemaking industry that rivals the one in Marikina. It is home to about 39,000 people (census, 1 May 2020) .

Get in

This town lies along the narrow and winding national road between San Pablo (Laguna) and Lucban. Most travel to town is through the nearby town of Nagcarlan.

Jeepneys have trips from San Pablo, but are limited, and there are few to no jeepneys operating at night. It is far more convenient to rent a car (or a van for large groups) to reach Liliw due to this.
