Bambang, officially Barangay Bambang, is one of the 38 barangays of Taguig, Metro Manila, Philippines. As of the 2020 census, the population was 13,949. Located near the Taguig River, it is one of the nine original barrios of the city when the latter was first established on April 25, 1587.

## Etymology

[edit]

The name "Bambang" is derived from the word bambang (Tagalog pronunciation: [bɐmˈbaŋ]), meaning the banks of a river, due to the barangay's location near the shores of Taguig River where it was established by early Tagalogs.[4]: 207 According to a legend, based on the barangay's profile posted on the official website of Taguig, the name is also derived from the word bamban (Tagalog pronunciation: [bɐmˈban̪]), meaning an egg with soft shell.[5]

## History

[edit]

During the Spanish rule of the Philippines, Bambang became one of the nine original barrios of Taguig,[6] a pueblo (town) that was established as part of the province of Manila on April 25, 1587.[4]: 28 When the country gained its independence from Spain on June 12, 1898, Isabelo Bautista was appointed as the village president (Filipino: pangulo ng nayon) of the barrio.[4]: 29 In February 1945, during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines, soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army destroyed the concrete bridge connecting the barrio to Tuktukan and the wooden bridge connecting to Santa Ana to stall the impending arrival of American troops as they began to retreat to Kay-Patag Hills (present-day location of Camp Bagong Diwa). That month, American soldiers who had recaptured Fort William McKinley traversed Pateros and arrived at Bambang.[7] Bambang was later converted into a barangay by the virtue of Presidential Decree No. 557 signed by then-President Ferdinand Marcos on September 21, 1974.[8]

## Geography

[edit]

Bambang has a total land area of 0.92 square kilometers (92 hectares).[4]: 94 It has six adjacent barangays: Tuktukan and Ususan on the north, San Miguel (previously part of Hagonoy) on the south, Santa Ana and Wawa on the east, and Pinagsama (previously part of Western Bicutan) on the west.[4]: 207
