This is your complete and comprehensive guide for Taguig City's barangays and its history.


Comprising both the 28 original barangays and the recent addition of 10 EMBO barangays, Taguig's diverse and dynamic community reflects the city's remarkable growth and development.

In this guide, we elaborate the barangays that make Taguig a thriving city throughout the history.


Taguig and the 9 Original Barrios

The earliest record of Taguig and its 9 original barrios was in 1587. According to records, Taguig had nine barrios then namely:
  1. Bagumbayan
  2. Bambang
  3. Hagonoy
  4. Palingon
  5. Santa Ana
  6. Tipas
  7. Tuktukan
  8. Ususan
  9. Wawa

Taguig municipal hall

Santa Ana was then the municipal center of Taguig. Records show that Tipas had once petitioned to become an independent town but was denied by the Spanish government.


The Establishment of 18 Barangays in Taguig

In 1974, the political division of Taguig was changed to barangay in accordance with the implementation of the Integrated Reorganization Plan (IRP) in the Philippines when the country was under Martial Law.

Because of the IRP, it was divided into 18 barangays:
  1. Bagong Tanyag
  2. Bagumbayan
  3. Bambang
  4. Calzada
  5. Hagonoy
  6. Ibayo-Tipas
  7. Ligid-Tipas
  8. Lower Bicutan
  9. Maharlika
  10. Napindan
  11. Palingon
  12. Signal Village
  13. Sta. Ana
  14. Tuktukan
  15. Upper Bicutan
  16. Ususan
  17. Wawa
  18. Western Bicutan

Barangay Fort Bonifacio was soon added to his jurisdiction.



The Creation of Two Legislative Districts in Taguig

Taguig was separated from Rizal on November 7, 1975 by virtue of Presidential Decree No. 824, and was represented in the Interim Batasang Pambansa along with other Metropolitan Manila municipalities and cities as part of Region IV from 1978 to 1984.

Taguig, still a municipality then, was grouped with Muntinlupa and Pateros to form a single parliamentary district which returned one representative to the Regular Batasang Pambansa in 1984. The municipality was grouped with Pateros again to form one congressional district under the new Constitution proclaimed on February 11, 1987; it elected its member to the restored House of Representatives starting that same year.

The western area of Taguig, coterminous with the Second Councilor District of Taguig (for the purpose of electing municipal, now city, council members), was separated from the congressional district of Pateros–Taguig by virtue of Republic Act No. 8487, the law which converted Taguig into a highly urbanized city. Despite being enacted by Congress on February 11, 1998, the said law only took effect on December 8, 2004 after the Commission on Elections issued a resolution confirming that the affirmative votes for cityhood prevailed in the ballot recount. This new district elected its first separate representative in 2007.
