Hagonoy, officially Barangay Hagonoy, is one of the 38 barangays of Taguig, Philippines. As of the 2024 census, the population was 25,455. It had since existed before the arrival of Spaniards to the country and was originally one of the nine barrios that formed Taguig after the latter was established on April 25, 1587.
The area south of Wawa settlement was flourished with a plant called "hagunoy". That area later became known as Hagonoy.[4]: 204 It was visited by Chinese merchants during the Ming dynasty, who traded products such as bowls, plates, glasses, and cups.[5] During the Spanish rule of the Philippines, Taguig became a pueblo (town) of the province of Manila on April 25, 1587,[4]: 28 in which Hagonoy was one of its nine original barrios.[6] It was then administered by Claro Cuevas as the village president (Filipino: pangulo ng nayon) after the country declared its independence from Spain on June 12, 1898.[4]: 29 Hagonoy remained as a barrio until it was converted into a barangay by virtue of Presidential Decree No. 557 signed by then-President Ferdinand Marcos on September 21, 1974.[7] The barangay was reduced in size after the Sangguniang Panlungsod of Taguig passed City Ordinance No. 24 to separate the San Miguel Proper from its jurisdiction to form an independent barangay to be known as San Miguel, which was ratified through a plebiscite on December 28, 2008.[8]
Geography
Hagonoy used to have a total land area of 1.62 square kilometers (162 hectares),[4]: 94 but it lost more or less 992,800 square meters (99.28 hectares) of land when it was transferred to San Miguel.[9] Before 2008, the barangay was bordered to the north by Barangays Bambang and Wawa, to the south by Barangays Lower Bicutan and Signal Village and Laguna de Bay, to the east by Wawa and the lake, and to the west by Signal Village and Fort Bonifacio.[5]
The main soil type in the barangay is the Guadalupe clay loam, a coarse black soil that becomes granular to coddy when it's dry and very fine sticky when wet.[4]: 7 The Hagonoy Creek traverses the barangay and drains to a retarding pool near Hagonoy Pumping Station operated by Metro Manila Development Authority.[10]
