Editing Cainta (section)

==Geography==
Cainta is bounded on the north by [[Marikina]] and [[Antipolo]], on the west by [[Pasig]], and on the east and south by [[Taytay, Rizal|Taytay]]. It lies in the Marikina Valley, is 10% rolling hills and 90% residential-industrial. It has the province's highest number of rivers and streams. Historians claim that Cainta's old geographical boundaries encompassed the mountain slopes of [[Rodriguez, Rizal|Montalban]].

Cainta is {{convert|17|km}} from [[Manila]] and {{convert|9|km}} from [[Antipolo]].

Cainta serves as the secondary gateway to the rest of Rizal province from [[Metro Manila]]. With the continuous expansion of Metro Manila, Cainta is now part of Manila's [[conurbation]], which reaches [[Cardona, Rizal|Cardona]] in its easternmost part and is therefore one of the most urbanized towns.

===Barangays===
[[File:Ph fil cainta.png|thumb|upright=1.1|{{center|'''Political map of Cainta, Rizal'''}}]]
Cainta is politically subdivided into 7 [[barangay]]s, as indicated below and in the image herein. Each barangay consists of [[purok]]s and some have [[sitios]].
* San Andres ([[Poblacion]])
* San Isidro
* San Juan
* San Roque
* Santa Rosa
* Santo Domingo
* Santo Niño

In the mid-1990s, Cainta submitted a petition to the Rizal provincial government to consider a proposal for 18 additional barangays, to make a total of 25 barangays. The proposal is still pending.
