n]nLANATOR¥ NOTE
The development of the New Alabang Village started in 1977 through the initiative of
Enrique S. Zobel, former chairman-president of Ayala Corporation.   Its documented history
dates back to August 15,  1978 with the registration of the Articles of Incorporation of New
Alabang Subdivision Association OrASA), Inc. with the Securities and Excbange Commission
(SEC).
On  March  25,   1982,  Barangay  New  Alabang  Vnlage  was  created  through  Batas
Pamban5a Big. 219 separating it from Barangay Alabang.  On April 28,1985, the majority of
the Board of Governors renamed the New Alabang Subdivision Association OIASA) to Ayala
Alabang Village Association (AAVA) and since then, residents commonly identify themselves
as residents of Barangay Ayala Alabang.

is in line with its power under the Local Government Code to change the name of barangays
within its territorial jurisdiction.
