History

It was historically part of the original barangay "Bicutan"^{[ citation needed ]} until there are barangays created out of it. These are Central Bicutan, Lower Bicutan, New Lower Bicutan, Upper Bicutan, and Western Bicutan.

In 2008, two barangays were created out of Western Bicutan, namely: Fort Bonifacio and Pinagsama. ^[3]
