Hagonoy is one of the 38 barangays of Taguig, Metro Manila in the Philippines. One of the nine original barrios of Taguig.[1][2]

History[edit]

During the Ming Dynasty, Chinese merchants traded with the locals from this part of the Laguna de Bai (Laguna de Bay) basin. During the Census of 1980, Hagonoy had a total land area of 160 hectares (400 acres).[3]

Under the Sangguniang Panglungsod ng Taguig Ordinance Nos. 24, 25, 26, 27, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 67, 68, and 69, all series of 2008, and Memorandum Order No. 292, s. 2008 of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo setting a plebiscite that was conducted on December 18, 2008, Barangay San Miguel was created by being carved out of Barangay Hagonoy.[4]

Etymology[edit]

The name of the Hagonoy was adopted because of abundant growth of the plant with the scientific name Chromolaena odorata.

Geography[edit]

Hagonoy is bounded on the north by San Miguel, on the northeast by Wawa, on the east by Laguna de Bay, on the south by Hagonoy Creek and New Lower Bicutan, and on the west by Katuparan and Hagonoy Creek.
