History

From the start, Taguig has its own chieftain, Lakan named Juan Basi who fought his life against the Spaniard along with Agustin de Legaspi, a nephew of Lakan Dula and son-in-law of the Sultan of Brunei during the Magat Salamat uprising in 1587–1588. But since the year 1584, a non-resident vicar from the Augustinian order named P. Melchor de Ribera was assigned to convert to Christianity the natives of the town.

In 1587, according to P. Gaspar San Agustin, Taguig was once again accepted in the list of "Augustinian Chapter" in a meeting held on April 4, 1587 through "Tomamos de nuevo la casa de Tagui, con voto".^[1]

From 1856 to 1897, Taguig, then a municipality of the province of Manila (previously Tondo until 1859), was headed by the capitan municipal as its chief executive. Following the Philippine Declaration of Independence, the position was replaced by the Pangulo ng Bayan (transl. Municipal President), which was solely held by Baltazar Capistrano from 1898 to 1899. In 1901, the year when Taguig became part of the newly established province of Rizal, the chief executive was named mayor, which was first held by Feliciano Pagkalinawan. Despite merging with Pateros from 1903 to 1909, both municipalities had different leaders, respectively.
