Barangay pinagbuhatan HISTORICAL EVENTS

Bolante, Barangay Pinagbuhatan, Pasig, Metro Manila was the public market garbage dump until poor people began building their shanties there in 1975. They cleaned the area and filled the marsh with earth to build their houses. At present, 350 families live there. Their main source of livelihood is the market place where they work as carriers and vendors. The land is owned by the Gayamat family and measures about 11,000 square metres. There is a long history of legal moves to evict the people from the land. It is a tale of bribes and incompetence at all levels of government and in private lawyers' circles. In June 1992 a Pasig judge ordered the sheriff to evict the people. The sheriff gave the people five days to move out. On June 11 the sheriff personally led the demolition team and seven policemen to begin the eviction. The people put up a barricade and threw stones at the demolition crew. The policemen fired their guns and manhandled an onlooker. Seven houses were demolished. A city councilor, informed of the demolition, rushed to the place and convinced the sheriff to stop, asking for a few days to find a peaceful solution to the problem. The demolition was stopped, but the owner would not negotiate. He said all he would give was Pesos 500 (about US$ 20) to people who would move out.

PASIG CITYPasig, officially the City of Pasig (Filipino: Lungsod ngPasig) is one of the highly urbanized cities of Metro Manila in the Philippinesand was the former capital of the province of Rizal prior to the formation the National Capital Region. Located along the eastern border of Metro Manila, Pasig is bordered on the west by Quezon City and Mandaluyong; to the north by Marikina; to the south byMakati, Pateros, and Taguig; and to the east by Antipolo, the municipality of Cainta and Taytay in the province of Rizal.A formerly rural settlement, Pasig is primarily residential and industrial, but has been becoming increasingly commercial in recent years, particularly after the construction of the OrtigasCenter business district in its east. The city is also the see of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Pasig, making its cathedral (formerly the Immaculate Conception Cathedral) a landmark built around the same time as the town's foundation in 1573.

etymology

• The city's name Pasig was believed to have come from the old Sanskrit word “passid”, or sand, which refers to the tribal community beside the sandy edges of the river.[4] Some historians believed that El Pasig came from Legaspi (Miguel Lopez de Legazpi, theBasque explorer well known for being involved in the "Sanduguan", and was the first Governor-General of the Spanish East Indies.

• It was pronounced “mapaksik” by the Pre-Hispanic Chinese inhabitants of Binondo, Manila (Mabagsik is Tagalog for "terrifying" - depicting the river's raging current during the typhoon season, causing massive floods on nearby towns and villages, destroying wide hectares of farmland, and even bringing huge amounts of logs and water lilies from Marikina River, Laguna de Bay, and San Juan River towards Colonial Manila). “Mapaksik" later became "Pah-sik", and was then changed to what is now "Pasig". It may have also come from the Tagalog word "dalampasigan", which means "riverbank".

• According to Jose Villa Panganiban, the former director of The Institute of National Language, "Pasig" is another ancient Sanskrit word meaning “ A waterway coming from one body of water to another,” which briefly describes the river because its flow starts from Laguna de Bay, leading to Manila Bay.

history• Here lies a nearly-extinct creek that played

an important role amidst the days of thePhilippineRevolution. Long before the Spaniards have reached and discovered the "Ciudad-Municipal de Pasig" in the year 1573, a thriving Muslim community(Barangay) was already been established along this creek, ruled by Rajah Lontok andDayang Kalangitan of the Sultanate-Kingdoms of Tondo and Namayan (The present-day Metro Manila).

• The creek was given the name "Bitukang Manok" (Tagalog for "Chicken Gut"), due to the serpentine shape of its waterway. Among its early dwellers consist of Ethnic Malays, the Chinese from Southern China (with their origins dating back from theMing Dynasty), and the Indigenous Tinguian Nomads who migrated from the deepjungles of the Sierra Madre Mountain Range. The Bitukang Manok was once a principle tributary of the Marikina River. The Spanish Colonizers called the creek “Riode Pasig”; however, the natives still referred to it as the Bitukang Manok.

landmarks

• Immaculate Conception Cathedral - Also known as the Pasig Cathedral. It is the oldest edifice within Pasig built in 1575. The present church was which was built between 1722-1760 and this is considered as the first Marian Parish in the Philippines.

• Beaterio de Pasig and chapel - Located alongside the Colegio del Buen Consejo is the remnants of the old chapel of the Beaterio de Santa Rita, popularly called Beaterio de Pasig. The beaterio was established in 1740 by Fr. Felix Trillo, OSA using funds from the Augustinian Order and aided by the Marquis de Monte Castro, Don Pedro de Quijano of Manila. It was initially called Beaterio de Nuestra Señora de la Consolacion but was later changed to Beaterio de Santa Rita in memory of benefactress and wife of Don Pedro, Doña Rita. Afterwards, it was called Beaterio of Our Lady of Buen Consejo. During the British invasion of 1762, the beaterio became a stronghold for roughly 2 000 Tagalogs under the leadership of Fr. Juan Bernaola. The resistance did not last long and the British soldiers settled in the convent for two years. The chapel, on the other hand, was built in 1790 by Fr. Santos Gomez Mara ñon while he was still priest of the church of Pasig (now the Pasig Cathedral ). The chapel was heavily damaged by an earthquake in 1880. It underwent total renovation in the 1960s, replacing the original wooden retablo with a modern one. The ceiling and walls were also reconstructed. As of today, only the façade of the original chapel remains. In memory of the building, a marker bearing a brief narration of its history was placed at the chapel’s façade in 1937 by the Philippine Historical Research and Markers Committee, precursor of the National Historical Commission of the Philippines. The façade of the old chapel is simple, and ornamented with only four Tuscan columns rising from the base of the facade to support the triangular pediment. The cornice is also decorated with triglyphs. It mimics the silhouette of the nearby church of Pasig.[10]

It went rehabilitation and restoration in 2008. It is considered as one of the best local historical museum in the Philippines
