One tells of how the place was abundant with a kind of tree called luyong, now more commonly known as anahaw ( Saribus rotundifolius ), from which beautiful canes and furniture were made. Another claims that the Spaniards named the place based on the report of a navigator named Acapulco, who saw the rolling hills frequently being lashed at by daluyong ( `` big waves from the sea '' ). This seems to confirm traditional pre-Hispanic stories that giant waves from the sea would meet the adjoining hills of the vast lowland, referred to as salpukan ng alon. Felix dela Huerta, a Franciscan historian, observed that the rolling topography of this land resembled giant waves of the sea. As with the etymological legends of many Philippine places, when the foreigners asked as to what the place was called, the locals answered with the description `` madaluyong '' ( `` undulating '' ), later transcribed by Spanish writers into `` Mandaluyong '' with the addition of an `` n ''. Romantic residents, however, peddle the similarly formulaic legend of a Maharlika named Luyong who fell in love with Manda, the lovely daughter of a barangay chieftain. The chieftain had no personal liking for Luyong and forbade him Manda 's hand. Luyong overcame this objection by winning a series of tribal contests which was the custom at the time. The couple settled thereafter in a place which was later called `` Mandaluyong '' by means of joining their names. History This section needs additional citations for verification.

( May 2018 ) 14th century Residents of Mandaluyong have always been known for their industry. Men did the laundry to the amusement of non-residents until shortly after the war, while the women ironed the clothes. These industrious people trace their roots to Emperor Soledan ( also known as `` Anka Widyaya '' of the Great Madjapahit Empire ) and Empress Sasaban of the Kingdom of Sapa whose son Prince Balagtas ruled as sovereign of the kingdom in about the year 1300. More than a century later, in about the year 1470, it expanded and was called the `` Kingdom of Namayan '' with `` Lakan Takhan '' as sovereign. The vast Kingdom comprised what are now Quiapo, San Miguel, Sta, Mesa, Paco, Pandacan, Malate, Malate and Sta. Ana in Manila, and Mandaluyong, San Juan, Makati, Pasay, Pateros, Taguig, Parañaque, and portions of Pasig and Quezon City up to Diliman that were then part of Mandaluyong. 19th century Mandaluyong was first known as a barrio of Sta. Ana de Sapa which was part of the District of Paco, Province of Tondo. Named San Felipe Neri by the Spaniards in honor of the Patron Saint of Rome, it was separated civilly from Sta. Ana de Sapa in 1841. On September 15, 1863 San Felipe Neri established its own parish and under the administration of the Congregation `` Dulcisimo Nombre de Jesus '', it constructed its own church, convent and school. The Parish of San Felipe Neri played a significant role as a relay station for propagating the Katipunan during the 1896 - 1898 Revolution. Mandaluyong shows significance in the historic Philippine Revolution of 1896 as the baluarte ( territory ) of Katipunan or `` Makabuhay '' group with seventeen ( 17 ) branches. On August 29, 1896, Andres Bonifacio, together with Emilio Jacinto and other members of the Katipunan went into the house of Romualdo Vicencio at Sitio Balakbak ( now Villa San Miguel ) to prepare for the upcoming revolution against Spanish authority. In this site, Bonifacio read the last manifestation of the Katipunan before they transferred in Hagdan Bato, in the house of Felix Sanchez. This event is also known as the `` 29 De Agosto '' and `` Pinagtipunan '' in which it is already named in two streets near the historic Barangay Hagdan Bato Itaas. It was in Barangay Hagdang Bato on August 28, 1896 where Andres Bonifacion issued a proclamation setting Saturday, August 29, 1896 as the date of the attack on Manila. On August 30, 1896, after the successfully revolution in San Felipe Neri, the katipuneros went to San Juan del Monte and attacked the El Polvorin ( gunpowder depot ) in order to amass more weapons to use against the Spaniards. This event is popularly known as the Battle of San Juan del Monte. It was also in this town that the revolutionary paper, `` La Republika '', was established on September 15, 1896. 20th century During the American Occupation, San Felipe Neri was raised to a first class municipality with five ( 5 ) barrios, namely : Poblacion, Barangka, Hagdang Bato, Namayan and Hulo. Under Presidential Act No. 942, it was consolidated with the municipality of San Juan del Monte and became the seat of government. For several months in 1904, San Felipe Neri became the capital of the province of Rizal. San Felipe Neri was separated from San Juan and became an independent municipality on March 27, 1907. It was renamed the Municipality of Mandaluyong by virtue of House Bill No. 3836 which was authored and sponsored by Assemblyman Pedro Magsalin, then the Representative of the District of Rizal. Many government infrastructures are established during the American Period including the Correctional Institute for Women, Welfareville Compound, The Boy 's Town, and the National Center for Mental Health. During World War II, Mandaluyong lost many of her people ; among them were Catholic priests and civilians. Destruction was felt all over, but with the timely arrival of the American Liberation Forces and the Philippine Commonwealth troops on February 9, 1945, the municipality was saved from further damages. That day became a red calendar day for Mandaluyong marking its liberation from the Japanese Imperial forces by the Allies. After World War II, Mandaluyong began to become progressive and dramatically increase the economy. Many infrastructures, companies, and other businesses were developed in 1950s - 1960s and as the result, Mandaluyong recognized as the most developed municipality in the Province of Rizal. Separation from Rizal Province On November 7, 1975, Mandaluyong was formally included in newly established Metropolitan Manila by virtue of Presidential Decree No. 824 signed by President Ferdinand Marcos. By virture of the 1987 Constitution Mandaluyong and the then municipality of San Juan were represented in congress by a single Congressman. Cityhood Rep. Ronaldo Zamora sponsored a House Bill which eventually became Republic Act No 7675 otherwise known as `` An Act Converting the Municipality of Mandaluyong into a Highly Urbanized City to be known as the City of Mandaluyong. '' President Fidel V. Ramos signed R.A. No. 7675 into law on February 9, 1994 ( the 49th anniversary of its liberation from the Japanese ), which was ratified through a plebiscite on April 10, 1994 making Mandaluyong the 5th city in Metro Manila. Mandaluyong became a lone district with its own Representative in Congress. Prior to the enactment of the assailed statute, the municipalities of Mandaluyong and San Juan belonged to only one legislative district. 21st century Mandaluyong today is composed of 27 barangays divided into two political districts mainly by Boni Avenue and G. Aglipay Street. As of January 9, 2002, it has 1,238 voting precincts and a total of 166,037 registered voters. In 2003, Mandaluyong was recognized as `` The Tiger City of the Philippines '' because of dramatic improvement in the city 's economy. History of local barrios According to Pedro Patricio in his book ( Mandaluyong : 1837 - 1975 ), Mandaluyong had five original barrios ( Poblacion, Barangka, Hagdang Bato, Namayan, & Hulo ) as per the first recorded census in 1903. From these five evolved 22 sub-barrios which, like the original barrios, then became independent barangays. Poblacion This place used to be called `` Buhangin '' ( sand ) before it was named Poblacion because the whole stretch of the area, from F. Blumentritt corner of New Panaderos Extension up until the Catholic Church and the cemetery, was topped with sandy soil of about 2 - 3 inches thick. Namayan The first settlers of this place were Muslim Filipinos. They were later driven away by the Spanish colonizers who came to the place. Still unnamed till then, the inhabitants called it `` Namayan '' in memory of the original settlers of the place. Hulo ( San pedrillo ) Hulo means `` outer part '' or `` external '' location of a barrio or town. When Barangka was still a sloping forest, Hulo was already a sitio with a few inhabitants. Early inhabitants of Mandaluyong used to call the place as such because of its remoteness of location. This place continued to be called as such until the name was officially adopted when it eventually became a barrio. Buayang Bato Located at the southeast shoreline of Mandaluyong is a small barangay called Buayang Bato. Its legend tells of an old Chinese man long time ago who, despite conversion to Christianity of his fellow Chinese nationals residing in this place, ridicules the religion. One day, while the old man was on a boat crossing the Pasig River, the Devil decided to take him to hell. Transforming into a crocodile, the Devil swam towards the boat. The old man, who had never seen such a huge crocodile, was terribly shaken. Realizing that the god he worships is too far away in China, he began to call on Saint Nicholas, whose statue he saw in Guadalupe Church across the Pasig River, to save him. Miraculously, the creature turned into a stone. Shortly after, the old man embraced Christianity. And the stone crocodile, it is said, could be found during low tide at the bank of the river near the Tawiran ( ferry station ). The place came to be known because of this stone crocodile, `` buayang bato '' in Filipino. Barangka Alongside Brgy. Buayang Bato is Barangka, then a single barangay but later divided into four ( 4 ) during the time of Municipal Mayor Bonifacio Javier : Barangka Ilaya ( Uptown ), Barangka Itaas ( Upper ) Barangka Ibaba ( Lower ), and Barangka Drive. It was said that at the time when the Philippines was under the Spanish Regime, there lived an old woman named Barang who had a young daughter. The daughter was in the rice fields when she was attacked by a man. As she was calling her mother for help `` Ka Barang, Ka Barang ! '' the surrounding hills echoed her cry which was heard by the Spaniards. And as the story goes, the place came to be called Barangka. Hagdang Bato This place is located on the uplands where steps are carved in its rocky hills and used as stairways. However, this place is more popular for its historical significance because of the role it played during the Spanish occupation. It was in this place, where, on August 28, 1896, Andres Bonifacio issued a proclamation setting Saturday, August 29, as the date of the attack on Manila. At 7 : 00 o'clock on Saturday evening, Supremo Andres Bonifacio held a meeting which was attended by more or less 1000 `` Katipuneros ''. Weapons were distributed during this meeting and the revolution began as church bells tolled. Zaniga Lying on the lowlands adjoining Hagdang Bato is Saniga which used to be a marshland teeming with various fruit - bearing and hardwood trees. The place was home to many local heroes who gallantly fought during the Spanish, American and Japanese occupations. Thus, some of its streets are named after them like Capt. Magtoto St., Capt. Gabriel St., and Pvt. E. Reyes St. During the 1960s and 1970s, progress gave way to concrete roads and houses sprouted in neighboring areas. This neighborhood was called New Zaniga Subdivision, while the original Saniga was renamed Old Zaniga. Plainview As the name implies, this place is a vast plain used to be planted with rice and corn. The place abounded with trees and was popular to bird hunters. Once it was a private property developed by its owner, Ortigas, Madrigal and Company, into a subdivision providing a site for the municipal center. Afterwards, it was made a separate barangay through a Presidential Decree. Its original name, Plainview, was retained and at present, it hosts the Mandaluyong City Hall and other public institutions. Wack - Wack At the northern part of the city is Barangay Wack - Wack, known internationally for the Golf and Country Club it hosts. Stories tell that many years ago, the place was a vast grassland which was home to numerous large glossy black birds called `` uwak '' ( crow ). It was from this `` uwak '' that the name `` Wack - Wack '' was derived. Geography Mandaluyong lies on a heart - shaped 11.06 square kilometres ( 4.27 sq mi ) of land, 7 kilometres ( 4.3 mi ) southeast of Manila and 8 kilometres ( 5.0 mi ) west of Pasig. To the south lies Makati, to the northwest, San Juan, and to the northeast, Quezon City. Thus Mandaluyong is located at the center of Metro Manila. A popular landmark of Mandaluyong is the EDSA Shrine. Located along Epifanio de los Santos Avenue, or EDSA, the shrine serves as a monument to the Virgin Mary, considered to be the protector of those who participated in the People Power Revolution of 1986, the country 's first peaceful and bloodless revolution, which led to the downfall of the corrupt regime under President Ferdinand Marcos.
