The sitio was sparsely populated with small scale farming and a cottage ind ustry of footwear ma ing as the main sources of livelihood. The people of Mari ina used to refer to Pansol as bundo (mountain) or ulat a corruption of the word ulap (cloud) as the place was almost always covered with mi st or ground fog in the early mornings and late afternoons throughout the year. The area was almost farm fields. The largest plantation was of sugar cane o wned by the Tuazon fmily. Sugar cane fields in the area feed the sugar cane mill in the visit to produce muscovado sugar. These farm fields were irrigated throu gh a natural spring located in an area called Boliran. Its water never ran out a nd was also used by the residents for their daily household needs. Other natural springs are found also in a nearby low mountain fondly called , Payong resembling an opened umbrella. These springs could have been the source o f Pansol after Pansol, laguna nown for its natural springs. The barrio was administered through a Cabeza de Barangay who was popularly de signated by consensus usually schooled and a man of means. Pansol s population increased due mainly to migrants. The earliest, were the wor forces that extended the Carriedo Water Supply System (1878) through develo pmental projects such as: the Mari ina River development Montalban System (1908 1924), the Angat Montalban System (1924 1944) and the post World Was II projects , (1945 1964).

Families from the nearby towns of Mari ina particularly from Montalban evacuated to Pansol to avoid the dangers of bombardment by Ameri can forces of their towns and also of Japanese atrocities. The last wave of migrants came after liberation to wor at U.S. Army camps at Pansol and neighboring areas. Pansol (as sitio of Balara) became part of Quezon City in 1939 when Preside nt Manuel L.

Meanwhile, some farmlands in the barrio had given way to subdivisions which had somewhat changed aspects of the barrio. Owner, the rual and rustic atmosphe re of the place has remained. BARANGAY UNANG SIGAW The original name of this Barangay was Barrio Unang Sigaw which was created

thru Ordinance with at least 500 populations dated May 11, 1951.

Vasra was officially created as a Barangay through Quezon City Ordinance No . 60-4342, introduced then by Council Diamonon. According to the Ordinance, the area comprising Project X-6 of the Peoples Homesite and Housing Corporation incl uding the two lots occupied by the Department of Agriculture and Natural Resourc es, commonly nown as DANR Compound, re constituted into a Barrio to be nown as Barrio Vasra.

VETERAN S VILLAGE Project 7 originally occupied 42 hectare lot and this li e a hilloc , with tall talahibs and some rice paddies, which gave rustic picture. This scenery was before the construction of the houses in Project 7 materialized. It was suppose d to be occupied by the squatters from Manila. However, the Philippine Housing C orporation (PHHC) divided it into 2 parts. The first part was called the North B ago Bantay, while was occupied by the squatters from Manila, while the other was nown as the South Bago Bantay, where Project 7 now resides. This project was done through the arrangement of three agencies namely; Int ernt l. Corp Agency, (ICA), Nat l. Econ. Council (NEC), and PHHC, the former shall f inance the constructionof the toilets of Project 7 amounting to P1,700,000. While doing the construction of the housing units, the Social Welfare Admin istration (SWA) was busy notifying Army Veterans and low-income people in Manila and other suburban areas who are qualified to be given priorities in the approv al of their application for units in this project. At first, PHHC wanted to call this place as the Magsaysay District in honor of President Magsaysay, who was then the Chief Magistrate of the land. The Pres ident declined the honor, so this place was named Project 7. The Quezon City Cou ncil passed a Resolution in 1956 naming it officially as Veteran s Village, Quezon City. The new and official name made the veterans living in this community very happy. In 1957, nealy all units were occupied, and the number of civic and organiz ations increased.

Originally, its name was Barrio Bago Bantay, a legal barrio created un der Barrio Charter #2370, after Election of Officers, which was submitted to the Quezon City Council, and then disapproved in the ground that the area covered w as so big. Another Barrio was created comprising the areas of the present Barangay Ali cia.

Barrios DAMAR Damar is the abbreviation of Dona Margarita Roxas Soriano, mother of the la te Col.Andres Soriano, Sr. The area used to be an experimental farm for B-Meg fa ctory of San Miguel Brewery with poultry, piggery, goats and even horses. Someti me in the early 60 s, Don Andres was being induced as to into real estate developm ent, and create model communities with plants of San Miguel and other Soriano en terprises, especially the new ones to be put up, as nucleus. Land tract area is 21,04695 hectares, developed into saleable lots with a total area of 152,059 squ are meters. Roads with a total length of 3.8 ims., and a total area of 46,000 s quare meters. A chapel with a site of 1,888 square meters. The community center is developed with an Association clubhouse, office Barangay Hall, Playgrounds, a bas etball court, pelota court, handball court, tennis court and other faciliti es. The tennis and pelota courts were constructed with contributions from the vi llagers.

It has its own water system with deep well, pump and 60,000 gallon reservoir. The project was approved by the City Council Resolution No. 61-5898 dated September 25, 1961. Certificate of completion of all required improvements was issued by the Office of the City Engineer on November 10, 1964 and August 5, 1965. Cancellation of the performance bond to guarantee completio n of required improvements was authorized on September 29, 1965. DAMAYAN More than a year ago, this barrio came into existence and was recognized on January 18, 1962, by Honorable Council of Quezon City by virtue of City Ordinan ce No. 62-4953 in accordance with the provisions of Republic Act No. 2370, also nown as the barrio charter, as the 26th Barrio of this City. The culmination of this reality is li e a dream somewhat awe-inspiring endo wed with civic-spiritedness and having felt the imperative need for local govern ment autonomy, a selected group of persons composed of Messrs. Antonio F. Evardo ni, Greg M. Felipe, Jr., Ricardo A. Navarro, Ignacio Vidal and Gregorio Celi, br eached together the idea of creating a barrio in a small restaurant along Roosev elt Avenue, and barrio was born through the manifestations of the enthusiastic r esponse and concern of the barrio constituents the befitted name Damayan conceiv ed by Mr. Isidro Avendano symbolic of the bayanihan traits of the Filipino. The first set of Barrio Officials was elected by popular ballots in an elec tion held on January 28, 1962. Proclaimed duly elected Barrio Officials were Mes srs. Ricardo A. Navarro, Bo. Lt., Isidro S. Avendano, Treasurer, Ernesto B. Casa je, Gregorio M. Felipe, Jr., Efren S. Panganiban, Gregorio P. Celi, Barrio Counc ilors, Jose Cazar, Angel Dela Cruz, Rodolfo Enducta, Juan Evangelista, Pedro Ben zon, Valentino Aliwalas, Jesus R. Franco, Quintin Gambol, Benjamin Peralta and F elicisimo Macapagal, Vice-Barrio Lieutenents, respectively, for the ten (10) sit ios comprising the Barrio. Imbued with the self-dedication to public service, the members of the Barri o Council pulled their resources together and left no stone unturned in wor ing for their community s progress. Putting modesty aside, it was the only barrio in Q uezon City last year to issue both class A & B Residence Tax Certificates to its constituents and to the adjacent barrios. It also constructed a garbage recepta cle of hollow bloc s near the public mar et and made representation with the Que zon City Council for its streets lights improvements and for the repairs, repavi ng, paving of its main thoroughfares. Foremost, among its projects, was the cons truction of a multipurpose Barrio Hall, which was inaugurated last November 4, 1 962 in the presence of City Officials. To enliven and instill the fervor of patriotism, the Barrio celebrated Inde pendence ay last June and too part in the floral offering ceremony to venerate the memory of Dr. Rizal held on December 30, 1962 at the main building of San Fr ancisco Elementary School. As a philantrophic gesture it dole out from its barrio funds 10% share 350. 00, to derray the cost of a conference table and 12 chairs to furnish the remode

led Dungao annex school library for the teachers and schoolchildren s utility. Mor eover, itself as the moving spirit behind the bloodletting donation campaign of the Quezon City Chapter of the Philippine National Red Cross held in this Distri ct few months ago. Laudable projects of the various civic within the barrio were also sanction ed after careful scrutiny and too many others, which eventually would redound t he benefits of the barrio fol s. To say the least, the barrio council also parti cipated in both the seminars convo ed the Quezon City Federation of barrio Offic ials and the Barrio Lieutenant s Association of the Philippines under Mr. Virgilio Hilario. Such achievement for so short a time bespea of the worthy trust and confid ence bestowed upon its Barrio Officials in consonance with the mandates of the l ocal residents. And through their untiring and whole-hearted cooperation, Damaya n Barrio Council shall carry on! DEL MONTE Ang San Francisco del Monte ay isang poo na nasa hilaga ng paunlad nang pa unlad na Lungsod ng Quezon. Isang poo itong ang ang ing mga tanawin ay na alulu god sa puso at na aaa it. Sa ayamanan ng mga tanawin sa poo na ito ay ma i ita ang mga ma ata ng isang libo t isang tulain. Ang totoo, ang San Francisco del Mon te ay pinagpala ng amay ng ali asan at ni Bathala. Ang hanging ay umaawit, ang ristal na tubig sa batisan ay nangungusap, malalago ang mga halaman, luntian a ng damo at nanunungong langit ay maganda at aa it-a it. Sa sinapupunan ng San F rancisco del Monte ay matatagpuan ang ganap na atahimi an at atiwasayan ng buh ay. Sa loob ng daan-daang taon, bago napasa amay ng mga Ameri ano ang Pilipinas , ang San Francisco del Monte ay isang du hang bahagi lamang ng puro ng Sampalo , Maynila. Gaya ng ibang mga poo sa Pilipinas, ang Sampalo ay pinamahalaan no on ng isang Punong ang tawag ay Gobernadorcillo, at ang San Francisco del Monte naman ay nasa ilalim ng isang Tiniente ng Nayon o Tiniente del Barrio. Kabilang sa mga unang naging Tiniente del Barrio ay ang mga sumusunod : Francisco Manuel, Mateo Rivera at Pioquiento Guillermo. Ang mga sumusunod naman, ang mga batis na sinasalu an ng abuhayan ng mga mamamayan sa poo ng San Francisco del monte no ong araw : pagsasa a at pag a awayan. Sa pasimula, ang buong poo ay pag-aari lamang ng 12 ataong na atira sa na sabing poo . Datapwa t bagpatuloy ang pagdami ng mga na aibig sa poo na ito na ma nirahan aya t dumating ang panahon na nag aroon ng 70 buhay sa poo . Ang San Francisco del Monte, dahil sa iba t-ibang adahilanan, ay naging poo na siyang pinagtatapunan sa mga urang Kastila na may masasamang gawain at pama mala ad. Nang ang Pilipinas ay masa op ng mga Ameri ano, ang poo na ito, ay napahiw alay sa puro ng Sampalo at napaanib sa bayan ng San Juan del Monte, lalawigan ng Rizal. Hindi nagtagal ang anyang pagiging bahagi ng bayan SanJuan, sapag a t n ang pagtibayin ng batasang Bansa ng Malasariling Pamahalaan (Commonwealth Govern ment) Blg. 502 na lumili ha ng Lunsod ng Quezon, ang San Francisco del Monte ay asama sa lupaing bumubuo sa bagong siyudad o lunsod. Ang poo na ngayon ay San Francisco del Monte ay ipinag aloob sa mga Pransi s anong ura noong i a 17 ng Pebrero, 1590 ng gobernador Santiago de Vera sa pan galan ng Haring Felipe II ng Espana. Ito ay isang poo na mataas na may limang ilometro ang layo sa Maynila, napiling tirahan ng mga relihiyoso upang pagdausan ng Santos Ehersisyos at ang pangalan ng poo ay San Pedro Bautista , pangalang par angal sa mga pagpapa asa it niya sa mga relihiyoso. Ang pangalang ito ay di nagtagal at napalitan ng pangalang Nuesta Senora de Montecelli , at ang poo ay pinasa op sa lalawigang San Gregorio na ngayon ay tina tawag na Rizal. Noong taong 1593 ay binago na naman ang pangalan at ang poo ay tinawag na San Francisco del Monte. Ngayon nga y San Francisco del Monte ay isang bahaging ma halaga at ma abuluhan ng Lungsod Quezon na paunlad ng paunlad. Hindi siya ang da ting malung ot at du hang nayon ng Sampalo , ang tapunan ng di- anais-nais na mg a ura . Hindi rin siya ang poo na hama na bahagi lamang ng bayan ng San Juan de l Monte, lalawigan ng Rizal. Sa asalu uyang panahon, siya ay isang baying maunl

ad at pasulong nang pasulong. Ang mga daan ay maluluwang at maayos. Ang mga gusa li ay malala i at magaganda. Maraming-marami na ang mga taong naninirahan at lub hang marami pa ang may nais namanirahan ditto. Ngayon ito y nagiging pugad na ng m ga omersiyo at hanap-buhay. Tung ol sa pagpapatalino sa mga abataan na magigin g matitinong mamamayan sa araw ng bu as, ito ay mga paaralang-bayan at paaralang pribado, na mga bu as ang pinto sa lahat ng naghahangad matuto at tumalino upan g maging mamamayan sa araw ng bu as. Ito ang asaysayan at pag-unlad ng San Francisco del Monte sa pahalaw. Sa m ai ling mga talang ito, ay masisinag ang pagbangon sa malapit na hinaharap ng is ang bayang San Francisco na maunlad, mayaman, matalino, marangal, matahimi , pay apa at ipag a apuri ng mga pinuno at mamamayan hindi lang sa Lunsod ng Quezon u ndi sa buong Pilipinas. KATIPUNAN The name of Barangay Katipunan has no clear origin. It is believed that the first Punong Barabgay, Esmeraldo Beltran, decided to name it such because he be lieved that many Katipuneroslived in the area during the Spanish era, and the fact that this barangay is just a few stones throw away from Balingasa and Apolonio Samson in Balintawa , gives some truth to his claim. The barangay itself was formally established during the term of Mayor Adeli na Rodriguez sometime in the late 1970 s. Its first Barangay Captain was Esmeraldo L. Beltran, Man Dandong as he was commonly called by the residents in those tim es. It consists only of 3 major streets, Ricardo St., San Antonio Ext., and Mang ga St., some portion of Roosevelt Ave. and EDSA belong to its jurisdiction, comp rising the approximately 136,152 square meters of land area the barangay occupie s. The barangay is also surrounded by 3 major waterways, Dario River to its So uth side, Culiat Cree to its North side and Halang St. to its East side. Its im mediate neighboring barangays are Barangay San Antonio, Bahay Toro and Apolonio Samson. In its entire history of being established, Barangay Katipunan has only had 3 Punong Barangays, Esmeraldo E. Beltran, Antonio C. Quinto and Bayani E. Secil lano, the present Punong Barangay. LOURDES This barangay was created pursuant to Presidential Decree No. 86 and 210 on June 25, 1975. Its total population as of May 1990 is 1,045. MANRESA The barangay,Manresa, was created at the time of 1960, at the time of creat ion when it was still called a barrio. After the February revolution in 1986, it was created as a barangay based on the Local Government Code, Republic Act No. 7160. At the time of its creation, the population was more or less 2,000 estimat ed only and now at present, the population is estimated more or less 30,000. BARANGAY CAPTAIN ATTY.

MASAMBONG Masambong is a very old community which was created even before the creatio n of Quezon City itself. The name was derived from a medicinal plant called Sambo ng, which was abundant in the locally during those times. Later the locality was included with Sta. Mesa Heights Subdivision, before the coming of the Americans. The old location of this barangay is not the present location. This barangay wa s formerly found within the boundaries of Banaue St., Hon. Gregorio Roxas (forme rly Wayan), Calamba, and G. Araneta Avenue. Masambong was a sitio of San Francis co del Monte during those days, which was still an integral part of Caloocan. Af ter the Japanese occupation, G. Araneta & Tuason developed Sta. Mesa Heights whi ch was within the first district of Quezon City, and the old residents were tran sferred to the new lots alloted to them on a lot called Sitio Lang a. However, t hey retained the old name Masambong, which was in the year 1949. The progress of the new barrio became fast during the 1960 s. And the developer has the existing lots asphalted. A small chapel was constructed on Malac St. The same was done th ru the sacrifices of the Samahang Katoli o ng Masambong, a catholic organization which was first to sprout in the locality. Factories and other commercial estab lishments followed. And then Masambong Elementary School was established in 1965 . It was the former annex of San Francisco Elementary School consisting of five buildings. The premises of the school was transferred to the school in 1969. In the early 1970 s a playground was established near the chapel thru the hel

p of Masambong Homeowners Assn. The Osmena High School was transferred to the new location(present location), from the building being formerly occupied along Roo sevelt Avenue. It was also during this time that the Glori Supermart was built, along with the other business establishments along Del Monte Avenue. In the earl y 1980 s the present Barangay Hall and Health Center was constructed. Ten, a littl e later, Corumi St. was cemented. It was also at this time that Osmena High Scho ol annex along Capoas St. was constructed. But it was in the early 50 s when Masam bong was recognized as a barrio. The first Teniente del Barrio was Marciano Vill anueva, agawads were Amado Jose, Nicomedes Dionisio, Cipriano Ferrer, Anong del a Cruz, Jose Cruz and G. Belmonte. But the barrio got its legal personality in 1 969 thru enactment of an Ordinance by the Quezon City Council. The first electio n was during the same year. The first Barangay Captain was Francisco Ocampo, a w ell- nown civic leader, boy scout and businessman. The elected councilmen were E usebio de Vera, Edmundo Aldover, Ramon Geronimo, Ceferino Eleasar, Benjamin Falc on and Lolito Payawal. And during the declaration of Martial Law, election was s uspended for more than 10 years. After the return of election in 1980, one would notice that the residents wanted a change. In 1982, Benjamin Falcon was elected Barangay Captain, with agawads, Elmer Bilog, Rita Ebarvia, Tagumpay de Guzman, Abner Espino, Eusebio de Vera & Alberto Santiago. The clamor for more changes began with the EDSA revolution in 1986. A newly elected Barangay Captain came in the person of Nicanor Mendoza, with his new co uncil agawads, Benjamin Falcon, Leonardo Escasinas, Rafael Espena, Tagumpay de Guzman & Alberto Santiago. During the time of Nic Mendoza, there were 7 elected barangay agawads, and the one who garnered the highest vote automatically beca me the Barangay Captain, and Nic Mendoza became the Barangay Captain. He finish ed his term and ran as City Councilor of the first district, but unfortunately h e wa not included in the Magic 6. The next Barangay Captain was Leonardo Escasin as who only served for 6 months due to untimely demise. First Kagawad, Joselit P angan too over in January 13, 1995. During the barangay election May 9, 1994, P angan got an overwhelming vote over Rolly Estepa, his only opponent during the r ace. The councilmen were Meliton Almonina, Rene de Leon, Peter Mendoza, Angelito Ocampo, Engr. Fernando Santos, Eusebio de Vera and the only lady agawad was Ne nita Escasinas. Of the originalo 6, aside from Joselito Pangan, during the term of the late Leonardo Escasinas, only Meliton Amonina & Fusebio de Vera were able to hurdle in the elections. The rest, Tammy Sarmiento, Tagumpay de Guzman, Rafa el Espena, Alberto Santiago & Enrique Estepa failed it to the Magic 7. Sa asalu uyang pamunuan ng barangay government, inaasahan ng marami na mal a i ang magaganap n pag-unlad ng Masambong. N.S. AMORANTO The barangay is bounded in the north by N.S. Amoranto, east by Mayon, West by Calamba and south by Blumenttrit Extension. It has a land area of 21,000 hect ares, total population of 20,000 (as of 1997), registered voters of 7,458 (as of May 1998), SK Voters of 500, exact address at # 50-C Don Manuel St. La Loma, Q. C.

Its depressed families is estimated to be at least 3,00 0 specified at Blumentrit Extension. It has a chapel (Nuestra Senora de Salvacio n). PALTOK The word Palto means highland. The very wide area covered by the district Sa n Francisco del Monte (SFDM) was then sub-divided into several barrios or barang ays which are now existing surrounding Barangay Palto . Barangay Palto was crea ted by legislation thru Quezon City Ordinance on March 17, 1961. Considering the length of over 30 years from creation into a legal barrio or barangay, records of the first barangay officials could not be found due to the typhoon and floods and no permanent barangay building and lac of proper offices with equipment to preserve the documents. As of 1990 General Census underta ing pursuant to the provisions of Commonw ealth Act 1 & II, the barangay had a population density of 32,704 persons per sq uare ilometer. The figure indicates 226/098 0/0 higher density and 162.34 0/0 h

igher than Metro Manila or 2.62 times the regional average. Based on the census of population and households of 1990 conducted by the N ational Statistics Office, Barangay Palto registered total number of 21,187 ind ividuals and approximately 1.20/0 of Quezon City s total population. On several occasions in the past, Barangay Palto has been chosen or select ed as model barangay in the aspect of Anti-Drug Abuse Campaign; selected by the DILG and the University of the Philippines College of Public Administration as c enter and implementor of the maximum basic needs (MBN) in consonance with the Pr esidential Executive Order establishing the Social Reform Agenda (SRA) which has been progressively ongoing since 1994. So much so, that Provincial Officials and Municipal Mayors throughout the P hilippines conducted seminar and wor shop on the Social Reform Agenda being unde rta en by Barangay Palto in the first part of 1997. PARAISO Barangay Paraiso was derived from the name Paraiso street, and it was organ ized as a civic barrio, which was founded by Mr. Gregorio Felipe, who was then a member of the Katipunan ng mga Nayon of District 1 (now Liga ng mga Barangay). On March 31, 1973, during Marial Law, the manner of creation was compsed of survey and preparation of area of population, composed of 8,882, which the tota l area is 15 hectares, the taxable lots and properties 12 hectares, with the est imate income from the real estate is more or less 300,000. Under Presidential Decree No. 86 and 86-A, dated June 21, 1973, the founder and the organizer Mr. Gregorio Felipe, was then appointed as Barangay Chairman by the late Honorable Norberto S. Amoranto. Li ewise, on February 10, 1974, the first set of appointed Barrio Council o f Barangay Paraiso are as follows: Victor General, Carmen Asuncion, Victor Evang elista, Brig. Gen. Ireneo Pascua, Col. Hilarion Valeriano and Francisco Isip. On May 9, 1974. Gen. Ireneo Pascua was then appointed by Mayor Amoranto, up on the recommendation of outgoing chairman Mr. Felipe, who was promoted as Chief of Sanitary Inspector, with the same barrio Council. PHIL-AM Barangay Philam was originally Phil-Am Life Homes, a first class residentia l subdivision at the corner of West Avenue and EDSA, formerly referred to as Hig hway 54. It was converted into a barangay during the term of the late President Ferdinand E. Marcos, in line with the creation of the New Society or the Bagong Lipunan. At the time it was converted into a barangay, it had a population of mo re or less 3,000, in about 600 homes, sprawled over an area of 54 hectares. A.D. Narcisco was first appointed Barangay Captain by then Mayor Amoranto, and too his Oath in an appropriate ceremony. He was then the President of Phil-Am Life H omeowners Association. Brgy. Capt. Narcisso put up the barangay hall and the sec urity headquarters without the use of any government funds. He borrowed P27,000. 00 from the Manila Ban ing Corporation and as ed few civic-minded friends to len d him some money without interest. All of these borrowed money had been duly pai d for with members contributions and assistance from the PHAI. Today Philam s popul ation is estimated at about 6,000. BASIC SOCIAL DEMOGRAPHY: As a community, it became established in the summer of 1955. As a barangay, it was first recognized by Malacanang thru President Marcos who appointed in 19 74 two (2) Barangay Captains, namely Benjamin F. Estrella and Narcisso, for each two zones as a civic barrio. Later on, it was consolidated in the hands of Sabi no R. de Leon, Jr. as the President of the Philam Life Homeowners Association Inc orporated. By 1979, he petitioned, together with 200 constituents, for his relie f as Bgy. Capt. In favor of Benjamin Estrella, who, forthwith, was sworn in by t he Quezon City Mayor Adelina S. Rodriguez. Also inducted with him were Apolonio V. Dionisio as Councilman and Antonio T. Llantada as the Barangay Secretary. Wit h the other members of the Barangay Council namely, Eustacio Orobia, Benjamin Sa ntos, Jose A. Diaz, Remigio A. Santos, Arturo Marin and Diodoro Evangelista as a Barangay Treasurer, there were formal and regular sessions held monthly at the Barangay Hall, originally caused to be constructed on the western side of Sta. R ita De Cascia Parish Church, by then Bgy. Chairman Narcisso when he was Presiden

t of the PHAI.

RAMON MAGSAYSAY The development of Bago Bantay had started in the early 50 s during the admin istration of Pres. Quirino. An Executive Order was issued by the then President which converted Bago Bantay into a resettlement site. The settlers were the squa tter families who were ejected from Intramuros, Paco, Tondo and Singalong all in Manila and from Tatalon in Quezon City. As government beneficiaries and conside red the first settlers of Bago Bantay, they were allocated a piece of residentia l lots sold at lower price. But due to be influence from their previous residenc es and also became of their different bac grounds in life, the settlers turned B ago Bantay into a troubled resettlement area. As the situation worsened, it was better nown notoriously as the Tondon of Quezon City because rampant criminalitie s and vices were daily occurrence which were perpetrated by the hardened members of Oxo, Sigue-Sigue and Bahala Na Gang members. For years, they terrorized Bago Bntay into bloody gang wars. Another bac grounder, long before the Quirino Admi nistration there was already a place called Bago Bantayan which means new outpos t. It was an outpost where Andres Bonifacio used during 1896 Philippine Revoluti on. It was strategically located and capable of easily detecting the presence of enemy nearby areas. Spanish troops coming from San Juan and its neighboring tow ns then was easily detected and notices were given the Katipuneros who were then stationed in Bahay Toro, Pugad Lawin and parts of Balintawa . The rest is histo ry. Prior to the declaration of Martial Law in 1972, Bago Bantay was originally composed of barrios Ramon Magsaysay, Alicia and Sto. Cristo. It had a total land area of 51.2/3 hectares. From the 3 barrios, Ramon Magsaysay is the biggest in terms of population, land area and developed mostly as a commercial community al ong EDSA fronting the progressive Project 7 and Munoz Mar et not to mention now the presence of SM City where a part of it belongs to Bgy. Ramon Magsdaysay. Bgy. Ramon Magsaysay is the gateway to0 Bago Bantay . Its accessibility by la nd transportation was the first factor for government projects in the are. From EDSA, before one could reach barangays Alicia or Sto. Cristo, his first stop-over is and always will be Bgy. Ramon Magsaysay. It can be recalled that despite the ugly image and negative reports that described the past community particularly i n Ramon Magsaysay, the residents then did not lose hope to attain peace, order, development & progress in the years to come. They as ed in prayers the intervent ion of Almighty God for the eradication of criminalities and vices around Bgy. R amon Magsaysay. Spiritual strength and Divine guidance was their weapon against

those bad elements who terrorized Bago Bantay. They built a small wooden chapel and dedicated all their prayers and requested to God. Its first patron was the M other of Perpetual Help but in 1962, the patron of the chapel was changed to Sto . Nino as generally requested by the residents. The next requested of the reside nts was to have their own parish priest. So on May 3, 1967, the Archbishop of Ma nila, the late Rufino Cardinal Santos appointed the late Monsignor Miguel P. Nug uid as their first parish priest. This mar ed the beginning of continuous reform ation and development in the lives of the residents of Bgy. Ramon Magsaysay. Whe n Fr. Nuguid was the head of the wooden chapel, he encountered different problem s of the residents and the first thathe solved was that of peace and order. He p ersuaded the tough guys to lead a new life that is meaningful and productive. A li fe where peace, order, cooperation and love of fellowmen should reign in their h earts and souls. For Fr. Nuguid, unity between the church and community is very important in attaining peace and order. Through his dynamic and unselfish leader ship, the parish of Sto. Nino grew wonderfully in spirituality, Christian renewa l, socialization and economic development became the mode of that time. Through the active involvement of the Holy Name Society, the religious activities of the residents were totally enlightened and further strengthened. Church organizatio ns were formed such as; Cursillos in Christianity, Mga Ana ng Nazareno, Adoraci on Nocturna Filipina, Friends of Sto. Nino, the Parish Council and others. Becau se of this phenomenon, the population in Ramon Magsaysay increased in which Fr. Nuguid felt and saw the need to build a new big church to accommodate the increa sing residents. He then informed and appealed to the residents of Bago Bantay of his plans to build a new church as a landmar of Bago Bantay, the first of its name, the Sto. Nino of Bago Bantay. So on December 1978, the construction started wit a minimal budget of P500, 000.00 only. Additional funds were indeed hard to secure. But to the highly reli gious, dedicated and determined Fr. Nuguid and with the blessings of the Almight y God, he initiated and engaged in fund raising activities thru the Miss Flower Festival and Princesita ng Bago Bantay. These activities raised funds mostly fro m donations of the residents and others for the continuous construction of the s hrine of Sto. Nino until its completion. On January 14, 1983, the Shrine of the Sto. Nino of Bago Bantay was completely finished and later on was adjudged as th e Most Beautiful Church in Quezon City. Millions of pesos had been spend and most of the credit went to the painsta ing hardwor and dedication of Fr. Nuguid. But unfortunately, Fr. Nuguid failed to see the completion of his brain-child because he died of a heart attac on March 1981. In any way, he died not in vain becaus e the residents of Bago Bantay, particularly in Ramon Magsaysay have benefited f rom the fruits of his endeavors. They because good citizens, religious, God-fear ing, peace-loving, law-abiding, industrious and educated because Fr. Nuguid trai ned them to be. For the residents, he was their forever father, and a great pionee ring leader nd architect for the development and progress of Bago Bantay. Today, Bgy. Ramon Magsaysay stands as a booming community which sets an imp ressive example of other barangays. Where once it was a mere Katipunan outpost a nd a forest, now it is a modernizing barangay. Where once it was a gangland of v ices, criminalities and street fighting, now it is a community of peace where th e church, government, residents and non-government organizations wor as once. B gy. Ramon Magsaysay was created on January 9, 1969 thru an Ordinance of Quezon C ity Council No. 61-4621. It is bounded on the North by Ilocos Norte St. and Sout h boundary line of Bgy. Alicia, East by Samar St., Nueva Ecija St., and SM Annex . West by Samar St. up to the boundary line of Bgy. Sto Cristo and South by EDSA up to the boundary line of Bahay-Toro. It has a total land area of 34,145.8 hec tares. Eversince the clamor of the residents of Bgy. Ramon Magsaysay, is to have a good Barangay Captain who is educated and well-qualified to serve his constit uents satisfactory. Several so-called leaders came and gone while others have ou tlived their usefulness. There were Barrio Lieutenants to Barrio Captains and no w Barangay Captains who tried to serve their best for Ramon Magsaysay, but as th ey finished their respective terms of office, nothing or only a few accomplishem ents could be seen and used by the residents. For the incumbent Bgy. Capt. Engr. Eduardo Epoy Firmalino, it becomes a fact that under his Administration (1994-199

7), better changes, development and progress eventually appeared and felt and us ed by the residents. As one resident said : Ba it ailangan pa natin gn Barangay Election sa May 12, 1997? Maganda naman ang mga nagawa ni Kapitan Epoy, tapat si ya sa anyang tung ulin at may mataas na pinag-aralan pa. Hindi siya dapat palit an sa anyang pag a-Kapitan . As to the physical facilities of the barangay, it has 12 asphalted roads, 2 alleys which land transportation is coursed by public utilities and private veh icles. The housing conditions of the barangay are dwelling units consist of hous es varying from shanties to bungalow, upa and down houses, apartments, 3-4 store y houses and commercial buildings. With regards to the residents, majority of th em are gainfully employed in government and private offices, business establishm ents, factories and home industries. The barangay has a population of more than 38,000 in which 85% of whom are Catholics. It has more than 8,000 number of gous eholds; more than 10,000 registed voters and it has 63 voting precincts. Within the community is the Ramon Magsaysay Government. The Executive and Administrativ e and other powers are vested with the office of the Barangay Captain. The legis lative power is lodged with the Barangay Council and the Office of the Sanggunia ng Kabataan is under the supervision and control of the SK Chairman and the SK K agawads. The barangay has 15 Lupon Members for effective implementation of baran gay jusrice system. In the maintenance of peace and order in the barngay, the new Cops on the B loc at Bgy. Bagong Pag-Asa is assigned for immediate response. On fire-fighting , the barangay is assigned to the Roosevelt Fire Station. For internal peace and security of Bgy. Ramon Magsaysay there are 12 regular BSDO volunteers. Prominen t offices, buildings and institutions are notable li e : the new Multi-Purpose B arangay Hall at Cagayan St; Daycare Center located at Abra corner Corregidor Sts ., Multi-Purpose Building at Bu idnon St; Bago Bantay Elementary School; San Fra ncisco High School; Quezon City Academy; Axis Mar et; Congressional Shopping Arc ade; Security Ban ; BPI-Family Ban ; PCI Ban ; Banco de Oro; Imelda Par along C agayan corner Ilocos Sur Sts., J.P.

Bago Bantay, for better or for worse, it all d epends upon the quality of leaders who will manage the affairs of the barangay. The youth of today could be the promising leaders of tomorrow. For future leader s of the barangay, the best way to attain a more developed and progressive Bgy. Ramon Magsaysay is to follow and improve the good things done by the present lea dership, which for concerned residents, are intended for the general welfare of the resident of Bgy. Ramon Magsaysay. SALVACION Ang Mahal na Birheng Nuestra Senora de Salvacion ay nagsimula sa apilya ng Aglipay sa Penafrancia, Paco, Maynila noong 1923. Ang nasabing birhen ay laggin g ipinadadala ni G. Quitin Ong ay Gng. Severa Barican, Cabeza de Barangay ng Pa ang Bundo , na matali nilang aibigan at pinag a atiwalaan. Ipinagdiriwang ang apistahan ng Birhen tuwing i atlong Linggo ng Mayo. Ito ay ipinuprusisyon at pi nagnonobenahan sa bayan na tinaguriang Paang Bundo (ngayon), na lalong ilala s a tawag na La Loma, Lungsod Quezon. Si Isabelo delos Reyes na pinuno ng Aglipay ang siyang nagputong ng orona sa Mahal na Birhen. Noong 1930, ang imahen ay bin inyagan sa simbahang atoli o at itinira sa isang apilya sa A. Bonifacio hangga ng 1939. Tuwing sasapit ang pista ng Nuestra Senora de Salvacion, ito ay dinadal

a sa apilya ng Retiro, na pag-aari ni G. Corpuz. Nang suma abilang-buhay na si Gng. Severina Barican noong 1942, ang birhen ay naiwan sa alinga ng anyang mga apo. Dahil noon ay panahon ng digmaan, ang pangangalaga ay pansamantalang inili pat ay Bonifacio Cruz sa Paco at di nagtagal ay nalipat naman ay Gng.Martinez sa Retiro. Noong 1946, si G. Alcantara ang siyang naging pang alahatang Pangulo ng apistahan ng La Loma. Sa pa i ipagtulungan ni Cruz at iba pang asamahan, an g Mahal na Birhen ay nabali sa dating apilya nito sa Retiro. Noong 1952, ang p angangalaga sa Mahal na Birhen ay inihabilin ni Gng. Carmen Martinez ay Patroci nio Reyes, na ipagtulungan si G. Alcantara at naging matagumpay naman sila sa pa gdiriwang ng pistang bayan. Sa pagsusumi ap ni G. Alcantara at mga asamahan at pa i ipagtulungan ng dating punong lungsod Amoranto at ng anyang may-bahay na s i Asisola Amoranto, asama ng La Loma Ladies Assn., atmga taong-bayan ay na abil i ng lupa ang mga ito. Na apagtayo ng sariling tahanan ng Mahal na Birhen sa Don Manuel, La Loma noong 1967. At nang maghati-hati na ang buong La Loma at natatag ang mga barangay, ang inatatayuan ng Birhen Nuestra Senora de Salvacion ay inilalang Barangay Salvac ion. Ang unang Barangay Captain ay si Dr. Sofronio Soquenio, sinundan ni Pedro M iranda (RIP) at Ernesto Baltazar. At nitong 1994, nag aroon ng halaga at nanalo si Fernando Ding Tan, at nang siya t mapaso sa piitan, ang acting barangay captain ay si Kagawad Eseng Cabarliza, hanggang sa asalu uyan. SAN ANTONIO Formerly called Barrio Bodega, Barangay San Antonio was created on August 2 8, 1961, by virtue of Quezon City Ordinance No 61-4827 and amended by City Ordin ance No. 61-4872 as approved on October 30, 1961. In December 1961, the first Barrio Elections was held and Mr. Gerardo Pasco emerged as the winning candidate for the position of the Barrio Lieutenant. The Barrio Council was composed of Atty.

Barangay Officials Salvacio Atienza as th e Barangay Captain, Kagawads were, Patria Chan, Loreto Santos, Mercedes Pamintua n, Ricardo Barican, Mr. Diaz, Roberto Villanueva, Ernesto Alfonso and Benny Jorn ada. SAN JOSE Barangay San Jose was formerly called a Barrio of La Loma during the time t hat it was a part of Caloocan in the 1930 s. In 1946, it was called a barrio when the elders requested to the government then to be called a Barrio San Jose. It w as a civic barrio with a population of 200 families, headed by a tiniente del ba rrio, by the name of Sixto Benin. In 1968, also a civic barrio the late Mayor Amoranto appointed a Barrio Cap tain by the name of Brigido A. Velasco, who also was at the first Barangay Capta in elected since 1982 up to now and yet still existing, undefeated Barangay Capt ain of Barangay San Jose, whom he was popularly nown as THE LIVING LEGEND. STA. CRUZ Way bac in 1947, Barangay Sta. Cruz was created. It was then called Barrio Sta. Cruz upon the insistence and petition from the resident of the said commun ity due to the fact that the residents had been holding annual Santacruzan festi vities. The Barrio was then headed by a Barrio Lieutenant Teniente del Barrio and four (4) Councilmen. During that time, the member of households was 400, with a population of 4,000, and over 1,550 voters comprising the 12 voting precinets.

The major structures erected in the barangay were the Philippine Maritime I nstitute (PMI Colleges), one preparatory school, a ban , two chapels and 2 gasol ine stations. SIENA Ta ing the importance and rule of the barangay in the service on the basic needs of the constituents after the Martial Law declaration, a group of concerne d (voluntary) citizens headed by incumbent Barangay Captain Tomas Castor Jr., Ho n. Marcelino Torrente (RIP), Hon. Eng. Proceso Fernandez and other sitio leader duly assembled, discussed and created the first Resolution instituting this subd ivision as one barangay. It was also the same group, who unanimously voted with the assistance of the constituents of this sector, - BARANGAY SIENA, which was d erived specifically because of the main proponent was the school SIENA COLLEGE, which was situated in the Heart of the sector. The year of this conception was in 1972, just a few months after the proclamation of 1081 Barangay Siena was create d. Then Hon. Mayor Amoranto recommended Tomas Castor, Prosceso Fernandez, Momoy, Mr. Santos (RIP) & Mr. Torrente (RIP). They received not a single peso, and ins pite of that, they did their duty painsta ingly. The actual population at the ti me of creation could not be determined by the new administration due to lac of data/records, but the present population is approximately 12,000 as of 1995. ST. PETER Long before, the area was a rice field and classified as an agricultural la nd. At that time, the place was inhabited only by 2 families, and their houses w ere very far apart at a distance of more or less one ilometer, and still they c alled themselves neighbors. When the area was converted into a residential place and the people grow in numbers, they constructed a ma e-shift chapel where they could honro God and practice their catholic faith. A certain Pedro Medalla, who was a prominent resident of the community, donated the image of St. Peter to th e chapel. And so the name of the barangay was called after the saint, during the time that the barangay was establishing different barangays in the country. Thi s was done during the early years of Martial Law regime adopting the pre-hispani c era form of government. STO. CRISTO Na alulunos ang alagayan noon ng mga squatters sa iba t-ibang da o ng Maynil a, lalo na sa Tondo, San Marcelino, Dapitan, Blumentritt, Lealtad. Nang panahong yaon ay nagsisimula pa lamang manung ulan ang yumaong Pangulo Elpidio Quirino noong 1949. Lubos na nadarama ni Pang. Quirino and malung ot at na a aawa na alagayan ng mga squatters at ipinalipat niya ang mala ing bilang ng mga ito sa na atiwangwang na mga lupain ng Bago Bantay, Quezon City noong 195 0. Sa simula hanggang sa loob ng pitong taon mahina ang pag-unlad ng Bago Bant ay, sanhi ng a ulangan ng mga pangunahing ailangan, gaya ng tubig, ilaw, mga l ansangan at sentrong pang alusugan. Di lamang iyon, and isa pang naging sulirani n ni dating Mayor Norberto S. Amoranto ay ang Peace & Order situation sa Bago Bant ay. Laganap ang labanan ng iba t-ibang pang at ng mga masasamang tao. Marami ang h arangan at patayan, aya nga t mas i mga pulis ay ta ot na suma lolo o magresponde sa mga ganong pangyayari. Noong 1960, alinsunod sa bagong carta ng baryo (Republic Act. 2370), ang Qu ezon City Government ay nagsimulang magtatag ng mga baryo sa lungsod. Ang Bago B antay ay nag aroon ng tatlong baryo : Sto. Cristo, Alicia at Magsaysay. Ang Sto. Cristo ay iminung ahing ipangalan ni G. Damaso Barnal, na isang matandang miyem bro at tagapayo ng SAMAHANG LABAGOSIL. Naisip niya ito sapag at maraming magugul ong tao ang tila wala nang ta ot at pag-galang sa Diyos. Inaasahan niyang magbab ago ng Konseho ng Lungsod Quezon ang isang City Ordinance No. 61-4718, bilang is ang hiwalay ng Barrio Sto. Cristo sa tulong nina Hepe Rollie Villacorte, Edmundo E. Leynes ng Baryo Government Office. Ang mga unang halal na pinuno ng Sangguniang Baryo Sto. Cristo ay sina : Ju lio Judith bilang Teniente del Barrio, mga Bise- Teniente, sina Ireneo Daet, Con rado P. Baclig, Paz Ortega, Carlos Avelino at Roberto Verdon. Ang mga Barrio Kon sehal ay sina : Mario Ordonez, Lucy Perez, E. Regalario at Gg. Putian. Ang popul asyon noon ay 5,000.

Nang sumunod na mga halal noong 1965 ay sina G. Alfredo Abella bilang Tenie nte del Barrio, G. Hilario Valmonte, Pedro Navarro,Jr., Gg. Telesfora Asoy, G. C arlos Avelino, Galicano Singson, mga Konsehal ng Barrio, si Gng. Virginia Baclig ay nahirang na Kalihim at Gng. Angelita Castro bilang Ingat-Yamat ng Barrio. Sa ilalim ng pangangasiwa ni Teniente del Barrio Abella nagsimula ang pagta tayo ng Multi-Purpose Barrio Hall , bagamat ito ay ulang sa ayarian. Sa di inaasa hang pag amatay ni Teniente Abella noong 1969, pinaupo sa tung ulin si Hilario V almonte, bilang ahaliling Teniente del Barrio. Sa taong ding ito nadestino si P adre Miguel Nuguid sa simbahan ng Sto. Nino sa buong Bago Bantay. Mala i ang nai tulong niya sa atahimi an at apayapaan ng mga naninirahan. Ina it niya ang mga tao na mag-mahal sa apwa, ma ipagtulungan sa isa t-isa at maging mabuting tagasu nod sa Diyos. Ang proye tong pagpapatayo ng Barrio Hall ay ipinagpatuloy ni G. H ilario Valmonte. Bu od dito y na apagpagawa siya ng mga artesian wells at naipaisp alto niya ang Fort Santiago Street. Sa anyang mabuting pamamahala ay unti-untin g nasugpo ang mga gawain ng masasamang tao sa Barrio. Nang mag aroon ng halalan noong i a-9 ng Enero 1972 ng pinangangasiwaan ni G. Leynes, ay si G. Navarro, Jr . ang nahalal na Teniente del Barrio na tuloy na naging Barrio Kapitan bilang pa gsunod sa Bagong Barrio Charter (RA No. 3590). Ang mga nna Konsehal ay sina: Con rado Baclig, Angelita Barnardo, Ireneo Daet, S. Ambrosio Martin at David Benavid ez. Nahirang na alihim ay si Virginia Baclig at Ingat-Yaman si Rustico Songcog. Nang ipro lama ang Martial Law noong September 21, 1972, ang Kapitan ay tin awag na Barangay Captain, mga Baryo Konsehal ay Barangay Councilmen o Kagawad, K alihim ng Barrio sa Barangay Secretary o Kalihim, Ingat-Yaman o Bangay Treasurer , at marami pang iba. Ang lahat ng ito ay bisa ng Presidnetial Decree No. 557. N ang isaayos ni dating Mayor Amoranto noong 1975 ang lahat na mga barangay sa Que zon City, alinsunod sa PD No. 86 at PD No. 86-A at ang dating mga baryo ay nagin g barangay sang-ayon din sa PD No. 557. Nag aroon din ng pagbabago ang hangganan o boundaries ng mga barangay. Ipinadala ni Mayor Amoranto noong December 9, 197 5 ay Jose Rono, at inumpirmahan niya bilang Kalihim ng Dept. pf Local Governme nt and Community Development ang Executive Order No. 25 to 36 noong February 6, 1976. Ang aunting pagbabago sa boundary ng Barangay Sto. Cristo ay ang mga sumu sunod : On the North-Culiat River, East-Palawan St., extending towards boundaryl ine; South-EDSA and North Ave., and West-Samar St. up to Culiat Cree . Noong Mayo 17, 1982 ay nag aroon ng halalan ang mga barangay at dito y muling nahalal na Punong Barangay si G. Pedro Navarro, Jr., at asama niyang nahalal b ilang mga Kagawad sina Conrado Baclig, Celedonio Escano, Jr. Alicia Saludez, Flo rentino Tan, Eduardo Barnabe at Ireneo Daet. Muling nahirang na Kalihim si Virgi nia Daet at Alicia Valerio bilang Ingat-Yaman. Hanggang sa dumating ang EDSA Revo lution noong February 25, 1986 at si Bgy. Capt. Pedro Navarro, Jr. ay inalis sa t ung ulin at ang ipinalit sa anya ay si Dr. Enrique Dela Rosa, bilang OIC-Bgy. C apt. di naman nagtagal, umalis si Dr. Dela Rosa papuntang America. Ang humalili ay si Kagawad Conrado Baclig, bilang OIC-Bgy. Capt. at hinirang sina Rudy Asoy, Pablo Garcia at Bartolome Saludez bilang mga agawad. Dahil sa asipagan ay nag asa it si Kagawad Ireneo Daet at namatay siya sa pagtupad sa tung ulin, noong En ero 31, 1988. Dumating ang halalan ng barangay noong March 28, 1989, ung saan ang lahat ng andidato ay pawing mga agawad at walang Kapitan. Ang nanguna sa nasabing ha lalan ay si Florentino Tan, ung aya t siya ang napro lamang Barangay Captain. An g mga asama niyang nahalal ay sina Rudy Ubales, Conrado Baclig, Bartolome Salud ez, Ben Valerio, Pablo Garcia at Isidro Perez. Nang tumula patungong America si Kapitan Tan noong October 12, 1992 ay gumanap bilang Bgy. Capt. Si Rudy Ubales. Hingi nagtagal at nag-resign si Kapitan Tan at nanumpa bilang bagong Bgy.Capt. si Rudy Ubales noong May 10, 1993. Maraming nagawa at marami pang ibang binala na isa atuparan ang pinagtutulungan ng buong Konseho sa Barangay sa masigasig na pamumuno ni Kapitan Ubales sa ngayon. Ang pag-seminar ng mga naninirahan sa bar angay sa Cooperative project. Sa atahimi an naman ay nabawasan naang mga na awan at gumanda na ang alagayan ng atahimi an ngayon sa Sto. Cristo at maunlad na a dminstrasyon ni Mayor Ismael Mathay, Jr. Sa pagtatagumpay ng lahat ng ito ay dah il sa mga civic organization na tumutulong sa pag-unlad ng atahimi an tulad ng Pa lawan-Romblon Organization 87 (PRO 87), ang sariling si ap at La as Damayan ng Iloi

lo corner Pampanga Sts. Lalo na ang mga regular at volunteer BSDO s. Kaya t ang lahat ng pagbabago ay tanda ng mga residente ng Barangay na may disiplina at pag a ai sa tungo sa i auunlad ng Barangay Sto. Cristo. http://www.qcpubliclibrary.org/qcmanuscript.php#history_barangay
