PHYSICAL & SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE
Geology
Taguig consists of 2 terrain units; a western undulating section and an eastern alluvial portion,
which extends into the Laguna de Bay. The undulating to gently sloping terrain is underlain by a
gently dipping sequence of pyroclastic rocks essentially made up of tuffs, tuffaceous sandstones
and conglomerates belonging to the Guadalupe formation. This formation is represented by
massive to thickly bedded lithic tuff and tuffaceous sandstone as revealed by grading operations
along the Fort Bonifacio area.
Based on the Geologic Map of Taguig , it has two major geologic formations namely:
Quaternary Alluvial (QA1) which is comprised of detrital deposits mostly silt, sand and gravel;
and
Guadalupe formation (GF) of which the upper member (Diliman Tuff) is thin to medium
bedded, fine-grained, vitric tuffs and welded volcanic breccias with subordinate amounts of
tuffaceous, fine to medium grained sandstone.
Members of the Pleistocene Guadalupe Formation predominantly underlie the terrain where Taguig
lies. These are mainly Alat Conglomerate and Diliman Tuff. Early Pleistocene to late Pleistocene
conglomerate, silty mudstone and tuffaceous sandstone comprise the lower member while late
pleistocene well-bedded tuff units make up the upper member. The constituents of the Diliman Tuff
were most likely derived from a volcano on the central lobe of Laguna de Bay to the south based
on its aerial distribution pattern and lithological similarity with those in the northern vicinity of the
central lobe of Laguna de Bay. On the other hand, Quaternary alluvial deposits of the Marikina
Alluvial plain and Pasig River Delta plain cover western areas of the municipality. The presence of
the marine sediments suggest that the quaternary alluvium was probably deposited after uplift of
the Guadalupe formation, possibly as a result of movements along the Marikina Valley Fault
System (MVFS) (Punongbayan,1996)
Geomorphology
As illustrated by Figure 2.4, there are five main types of soils found in Taguig. These are Bay Clay
Loam, Guadalupe Clay, Marikina Clay Loam, Quinqua Fine Sandy Loam and the Unmodified Soil
found in Fort Bonifacio and barangays Western Bicutan, Maharlika and Ligid Tipas. Bay Clay Loam
is dark brown in color and has fine granules which is friable when dry, but very sticky when wet.
This particular soil type is found in barangays Ibayo-Tipas and Napindan. The Guadalupe clay, on
the other hand, is nearly black in color and coarse in texture. It is granular to coddy when dry, and
very fine sticky when wet and found in the barangays of Bambang, Upper and Lower Bicutan,
Hagonoy, Ususan and Wawa. The Marikina Clay Loam, also brown and friable, is found in
Barangays Calzada, Sta. Ana and Tuktukan. Moreover, Quinqua fine sandy loam underlies
barangays Bagumbayn and Bagong Tanyag.

Physiography
Based on the Physiography Map of Taguig, extensive portion of Taguig covering the former Military
Camp of Fort Bonifacio is composed of undulating low graded tuff. On the other hand, an area
bordered by Pateros, Pasig and Laguna de Bay is made of broad alluvial deposits, while the
smallest southwestern portion towards Muntinlupa is mainly composed of minor alluvial deposits.
About sixty-five percent of the land in Taguig is level while the rest are rolling to hilly. It is
characterized by coastal plains and hilly areas extending in the north-south direction along the
Manila Bay. Surface elevation ranges from 0-10 meters above the mean sea level on the coastal
plains and 20-70 meters on the hills.
As per the Slope Map of Taguig, the following is the indicated slope distribution.
Slope Distribution
Category Slope Description
A 0-2% Level to nearly level
B 2-5% Gently sloping to gently undulating
C 5-8% Undulating to gently rolling
D 8-15% Gently rolling to rolling

barangays of the city. The area where Taguig lies has a land facet characterized by fine to very
fine clayey somewhat poorly drained. Its soil texture is primarily clay and has effective depth of
more than 150 cm. Soil drainage is somewhat poor with an inherent fertility ranging from high to
very high. Average elevation is 11 meters with water table depth of 120 cm. Soil classification is
Aeric Tropaquept.
This land system is dominant along coastal zones of Laguna Lake. They are usually seen along
the deltas of rivers that drain into the Lake. The soil is relatively fine loam (silty clay loam, sandy
loam to loamy sand), poorly to very poorly drained. It has average elevation of 25 meters, slightly
eroded, but well drained.
It is composed of slightly elevated tuffaceous plateau with very shallow soils. It extends from
Muntinlupa in the south, towards Quezon City in the north and Valenzuela in the northwest. It
covers the eastern part of the city including the Fort Bonifacio Military Reservation Area. Soil is
about 10 to 15 cm. deep; very dark grayish brown, silty clay with pale brown partially weathered
volcanic tuff usually encountered below 10-20% rolling sideslopes and isolated low hills.
Surface Waters
Taguig has two major rivers that feed Laguna de Bay, namely, the Taguig River and the Napindan
Channel which is linked to the eastern portion of the Pasig River itself. The Napindan River
normally flows from Laguna de Bay to the Pasig River, but can also flow in the opposite direction,
depending on the river itself, the water table in the lake, the tidal stage in Manila Bay, and the
annual evaporatin from the lake. Minor rivers include: Bagumbayan River, Mauling
Creek/Tabacuhan Creek, Hagonoy River, Tipas River/Labasan River and Santa Ana River. These
rivers are fed by 23 other tributaries namely: Daang Paa Creek, Bambang na Malaki, Sukol
Creek/Daang Manunuso, Mabato Creek, Katwiran Creek, Daang Kalabaw Creek, Labasan Creek,
Panday Creek, Sapa ni Beho, Palingon Creek, Bambang na Putol, Tipas River, Pagadling Creek,
Napindan River, Lumang Ilog Creek, Ilog Clemencia, Daang Banca Creek, Sapang Ususan,
Sapang Malaki, Hagonoy Creek, Maricaban Creek, Bambang ni Peles, and Daang Kalabaw Creek.
As per data from Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA), the lake has a totalk area of 90,000
hectares with an average depth of 2.8 m. Aquaculture covers around 15,000 hectares, 10,000 for
fishpens and 5,000 for fish cages.

Groundwater
Taguig is situated within a groundwater basin containing several connected and interrelated
aquifers, composed of tuffaceous sandstone and conglomerates belonging to the Guadalupe
Formation. The rocks as observed from Fort Bonifacio Global City conform from sedimentary
facets of the Guadalupe formation and generally dip gently to its western portion. Its thickness is
approximately 1,300 to 1,200 meters.
Almost 2000 wells have been drilled in the aquifers of the Guadalupe Formation for the commercial
and residential users some of which go as deep as 300 meters. In 1990, total pumpage reached
339.6 million cubic meters. There are already 124 wells that have been drilled south of Fort
Bonifacio yielding 24.25 million cubic meters of water that supply 7% of the total population of
Metro Manila.
Based on a feasibilty study for the bulk water supply conducted through MWSS in 1996, locations
of well fields within Taguig are indicated in figure 2.8.
Water Quality
A water quality monitoring conducted in January 1999 by Seastems, Inc. for the Fort Bonifacio
Global City indicated very high coliform levels of 24,000 MPN/100 ml in the two stations observed.
The values obtained exceeded the DENR standards of 5,000 MPN/100 ml for class C waters. The
high figures is an indication of wastewater intrusion coming from domestic sources discharging
sewerage. The table below show the details of the sampling results.

PHYSICAL & SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE
WHAT’S IN A NAME?
The early inhabitants of Taguig were farmers and fishermen. They became popularly known among neighboring villages as skilled “palay” threshers
or “TAGA-GIIK”, so that the place where they live came to be known as “TAGIIK”. Then, Spaniards came and ruled over the place. They found
difficulty in pronouncing “TAGIIK” and so they named the place “TAGUIIG”, and later “TAGUIG” that is today the official name of the city.
Transmitted by word of mouth from generations to generations the name given by Filipinos to significant events and characteristics of the places had
been the sources of the names given to the thirteen original barrios that comprise Taguig.
Believed to be the first settlement by the side of the Taguig river, which divide Taguig, is barrio STA. ANA which was so named in honor of the
town’s patron saint.
Early Tagalogs call the source of river upstream as “wawa”, the banks of rivers as “bambang”, the place were people wash clothes as “tuktukan’, and
the area where the river drain or slide as “ususan”. And so when settlements grow in the areas along the Taguig River, the inhabitants called their
barrios as WAWA, BAMBANG, TUKTUKAN and USUSAN.
Almost parallel to the Taguig River at about two kilometers to the northeast is the Tipas River which had a loop at the middle of it’s length. This is
joined by the Sta. Ana River at the said loop. People following the course of the loop, detour or in Tagalog “tumitipas” or “lumiligid”. Early settlers
were said to be from Pasig who escaped from the harsh policy of their ruler. The settlement was then called TIPAS. Tagalog also call the other side
of a river as “ibayo’. When a community grew at the other side of Tipas, they called the settlement or barrio as IBAYO-TIPAS.
There was a time the faithful of Tipas were disgruntled over the administration of an assigned priest of Taguig. They preferred to be under Pasig.
The parochial jurisdiction over Tipas had to be settled through the sound of the bells which rang simultaneously from the churches of Pasig and
Taguig. The inhabitants from a portion of Tipas first heard the sound of the bell from taguig and turned their heads. To Tagalogs to turn one’s head is
“lumilingon”. The place where they lived was later called PALINGON. A road to Tagalog is “Calzada”. When the road linking Tipas to Sta. Ana
became populated, they named the barrio CALZADA.
To Tagalogs, being pierced through is “napindang”. At the northeastern tip of Taguig, the periodical action of the Laguna Lake Floods, created a
channel piercing through the land area. The barrio, as channel piercing through the land area. The barrio, as well as the channel, were later called
NAPINDAN.
In olden days a particular kind of plant called “hagunoy” aabound in area south of Wawa. The place later came to be known as HAGUNOY.
The Tagalog term of digging for treasure is “bikot”. South of barrio Hagunoy was a wooded area known to be the hiding place of robbers and pirates.
When the area was cleared of robbers and pirates it was rumored that there were buried treasures left in the area. Many inhabitants started to dig for
treasures. The place came to known as BICUTAN.
To Tagalogs, new is “bago” and the settlement was established at the unpopulated southern portion of Taguig, the same was called BAGUMBAYAN.

PHYSICAL & SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE
Taguig has its beginning in the history of every village and barrio in the remote pre-historic past as reconstructed for us by geologists,
archeologists and historians. People of varied cultures and racial types, came to Philippines in migratory waves from twenty five or thirty years ago
unto the 14th century.
The first to come were the primitive men, as proven by unearthed stone implements and fossil remains. The Pygmies, forebears of the
Aetas, came next, crossing land links from the Asian mainland to the Philippines. Choosing the valleys where they could engage in agriculture, the
Indonesians followed the Proto-Malays. The last group of people to settle in the Rizal area were called the Porcelain Age Folks. They struggled
against one another for supremacy and possession of rich land. Those of lower cultures were driven to the mountains. The Malays prove to be the
dominant race.
Tagalog authorities claim, the name Tagalog may mean “taga-ilog” which is a term indicative of the habitation of these people. It is,
therefore, probable that the first homes of the Tagalogs were the river areas and banks. The rivers and the Laguna Lake offered the pioneer of
Taguig, fresh water for drinking ablutions and irrigation; protection against attack of enemies; and easy means of travel by bancas or native boats.
Thus, along the Taguig River, Tipas River and the Napindan Channel, Malay settlement sprang up and grew into populous barrios, a fact which the
Spanish conquistadors found when they came during the last quarter of the 16th century.
SPANISH PERIOD
Taguig was already a thriving community long before the Spaniards came. It was once part of the Kingdom of Tondo ruled by Rajah
Soliman. During the early Spanish colonization, Taguig was given as an encomienda to one Captain Vergara, while the Augustinian Order provided
religious instructions.
No complete record can be found of those who served as head of the town previous to 1856. The term of office of the Gobernadorcillo or Capitan
Municipal was for one year until 1862 to 1897 is as follows:
1856- Domingo Franco
1857.1858 Vicente Azores
1859- Juan B. Labao
1860- Domingo Guevarra
1861- Venancio Sandoval
1862- Leonardo Labao
1863.1864 Salvador Esguerra
1865.1866 Tomas Cruz

Pio del Pilar. After the San Juan Bridge incident on February 4, 1899, the Americans expanded their occupation of Manila to the neighboring towns,
which fell one after another due to their superior arms.
It was recorded that on February 16, 1899, the Filipino forces dislodged Americans positioned in the hills of Taguig (now a portion of Ft.
Bonifacio) and Pateros causing many casualties among Americans. Actions continued and positions changed hand from then on. On May 15, the
tide turned in favor of the Americans so that 500 “Revolucionaries” were captured and taken prisoners. Taguig fell finally to a cotigent of the First
Washington volunteer Infantry led by Col. Wholley on March 16, 1899. In its defense, seventy five revolucionaries died.
AMERICAN REGIME
On March 29, 1900 at the start of American reign, Taguig was established as an independent municipality by virtue of General Order
No. 40. On June 14, 1901, Taguig was made a part of the Province of Rizal by virtue of Act. 137 of the Philippine Commission which was a
consolidation of a portion of the Province of Manila and the Province of Morong. Taguig then was classified as a fourth class municipality with 6, 397
populace. The name Rizal was a suggestion of Dr. Trinidad H. Pardo de Tevera at the historic meeting held at the Pasig Catholic Church on June 5,
1901 in the presence of the Second Philippine Commission and presided over by its President/Chairman, William Howard Taft.
By virtue of Act. No. 942 of the Philippine Commission, Taguig was joined with Pateros and Muntinlupa on October 12, 1903 with seat of
government at Pateros. About one and a half month later, Muntinlupa was segregated from Taguig and made a part of Biñan, Laguna by virtue of
Act. No. 1008 dated November 25, 1903, but was however, returned as part again of Taguig on March 22, 1905 by Virtue of Act. No. 1308 of the
Philippine commission with seat of government at Taguig.
Pateros was eventually separated from Taguig and both became independent municipalities of Rizal Province on June 01, 1908 by
virtue of Executive Order No. 20, dated February 20, 1908 upon petition of the residents of Pateros and recommendation of the Provincial Board of
the Province of Rizal. Muntinlupa was separated from Taguig and became an independent municipality of Rizal Province on January 1, 1918 by
virtue of Executive Order No. 108, dated December 19, 1917. From 1903 to 1917 when Pateros and Muntinlupa were joined with Taguig, those
elected into office as President Municipal were all residents of Taguig.

JAPANESE INTERLUDE
On January 1, 1942, Manila was declared as an open city as the US-Philippine forces (USAFFE) retreated to Bataan and Corregidor. Automatically,
Rizal Province fell under the rule of the Japanese Forces. The latter set foot in Taguig in the evening of January 2, 1942.
Among the natives of Taguig who were officers and saw action in the defense of the country against the army were Daniel Victoria,
Marcos Estacio, Ricardo G. Papa, Miguel Capistrano and castor Buenaflor. They joined the Death march from Samal, Bataan to Capas, Tarlac after
the fall of Bataan and Corregidor on April 9, 1942.
Many among the patriotic people particularly the professionals and government employees refused to serve under the Japanese
Government and returned to fishing, farming and commerce for their livelihood awaiting the promised return of Gen. Douglas MacArthur. Many
joined the underground movements in 1942 such as Hunters ROTC guerillas and the Markings’ Fil-American Irregular Troops.
The Japanese conducted zonification of all male citizens, twice for the whole town, and separately for each of the thirteen
barrios. Suspected guerillas were tortured and sent ot garrisons at Antipolo and Fort Santiago, but the most tragic was the last
conducted in the barrio of Tipas on December 1, 1944 where more than 500 men, intellectuals and professionals, were taken and never
returned. Among them were Mayor Artemio Natividad, speaker of the Mayors ‘League of Rizal, ex-Prov. Board Member Lodovico Labao,
Col. Marcos Estacio, Atty. Carlos Natividad, Dr. Francisco Sta. Ana, Dr. Amado Balderama and a host of others. A marker in honor of
these martys inaugurated by then Congressman Ferdinand E. Marcos on February 4, 1949 now stands in Tipas, Taguig, (Rizal), M.Mla.
On the evening of February 5, 1945, Japanese navy soldiers burned all the houses and buildings of barrio Ususan, and would have
burned the town proper but for the intercession of one Capitan Kawagutsi, the Japanese Army Commander assigned to Taguig.
At noontime of February 17, 1945, a small contingent, advance scouts of the 11 th Airborne Division together with some guerillas
penetrated Barrio Wawa and in a brief skirmish at the Taguig River wounded and captured Captain Kawagutsi.
Taguig was liberated on February 23, 1945 after the defeat of the Japanese in the battle of Kay Patag Hills in the barrios of Bicutan and
Bagumbayan on February 22, 1945.
From February 17, 1945 the ROTC Hunter Guerillas of Taguig took over the Municipal Hall and established an emergency provisionary
local government until June 30, 1945 with their officers interchangeably acting as Alkalde starting with Aquilino Sarmiento with Gonzalo with Gonzalo
Magsalin as secretary. Later Pedro D. Cruz took over during the last six months of the commonwealth (July 1-Dec. 31, 1945).
With Pedro D. Cruz in the council were Bonifacio Relon, Vice-Alcalde; Irene A. Cruz, Pio Felipe, Mateo Gregorio, Benito Garcia, Jorge
Ramos, Cornelio Carlos, Consejales, and Ireneo Bunyi, Secretary.
