History

Since the 1950s, a Muslim community consisting of few Moro families led by an imam named Muhammad Kusin had existed in a military reservation area for the Armed Forces of the Philippines in Taguig. [4] They later petitioned to then-President Diosdado Macapagal to allocate five hectares of land in that area where they could establish a settlement, but Macapagal rejected their request. [5] Since 1964, around 20 families had illegally build huts made of lawanit in the area. [5]

Then-President Ferdinand Marcos signed Proclamation No. 1217 on January 3, 1974, which would detach a portion of AFP Enlisted Men's (EM's) Village, totaling 305,000 square meters (30.5 hectares), to become a subdivision for the Muslim settlers known as Maharlika Village. [6] Its name was based on maharlika , which means "royalty or of noble origin". [5] Two new sitios were created for the increasing number of settlers, namely Imelda Romualdez Marcos (named after then-First Lady Imelda Marcos) and Bandara-Ingued. [5] Eventually, the three areas were grouped under one barangay, which was also named Maharlika Village. [5]

Geography

Maharlika Village has a total land area of 54 hectares (540,000 square meters). [5] The barangay is traversed by the West Valley Fault of the Marikina Valley Fault System. [7]
