Now part of Manila's ever-expanding sprawl, Angono is home to about 130,000 people (2020), but it keeps its small town feel; most visitors will be drawn by its annual Higantes Festival, where papier-mache effigies are paraded around the town. Home to two renowned Filipino artists, the town is promoted as the "Art Capital of the Philippines"

Angono is 28 km away from Manila, it will take 48 minutes to drive from Manila to Angono by car. Manila East Road goes through the area on both sides.

Angono is the terminus of route 3 of Metro Manila's bus network, running from Quiapo in Manila, passing by San Juan and Pasig. They enter downtown and then turn back to Quiapo via the bypass road. Buses are either yellow or green, and mostly high-floor coaches.
