Brief History of Taguig City Government
Before Taguig City was declared to be a city and became what it is now, it was first a thriving settlement with its population that mostly consisted of farmers and fishermen. The government of Taguig was first headed by Captain Vergara, the alcalde mayor and eventually passed on to Kapitan Juan Basi on April 25, 1587. That time, it was already named and called Taguig which consists of 9 barrios. It became a part of Rizal Province before it was declared as a part of the National Capital Region on November 7 of 1975. It officially became a city on December 8, 2004 and is currently composed of 28 barangays.
Its name is coined after the word “taga-giik” which is a term used to refer to its residents for they are known to be good at removing the rice grain from its stem or what is called as threshing. But since the word is quite hard to pronounce, the majority of people call it “tagui-ig”. It was then shortened to “Taguig” and has been using that name up to the present time.
