Batino

Batino is a rural industrial barangay located at Calamba, Laguna, Philippines. Batino is located to the east of Barandal, south of Mayapa, north of Prinza and west of Paciano Rizal. Most of the establishments, if not all, are located on the west side of South Luzon Expressway (SLEX), leaving the east side of the barangay less developed than the west side of it, partly because the only access points are the SLEX and the Batino-Mayapa Road.
