Taguig

Welcome to Taguig City, one of Metro Manila’s most exciting urban powerhouses! Once a humble fishing town by the lake, Taguig has transformed into a booming cityscape filled with skyscrapers, luxury malls, global businesses, and rich heritage spots that proudly showcase its Filipino soul. It’s where history meets high-rise, kakanin meets Korean BBQ, and every street pulses with modern energy and hometown pride.

• Bonifacio Global City (BGC) – A futuristic district filled with art murals, corporate hubs, high-end malls, and lifestyle parks.
• Venice Grand Canal Mall – Take a romantic gondola ride and enjoy Italian-style architecture in the heart of Taguig.
• The Mind Museum – A science wonderland perfect for families and curious minds.
• Heroes Cemetery (Libingan ng mga Bayani) – A historic resting place for Philippine heroes and presidents.
• Lakeshore Hall and Laguna de Bay Area – A peaceful, scenic spot that honors Taguig’s lakeside origins.

Taguig offers the best of both worlds, ultra-modern living with cultural roots that run deep.

Taguigeños are known for their resilience, warmth, and community spirit. Even as glass towers rise, the city’s barangays keep the Filipino values of bayanihan, respect, and family-first alive. Ancestral traditions, especially in old districts like Napindan and Tipas, are preserved and celebrated alongside the modern vibe of BGC and Arca South.

Filipino and English are widely spoken, but Tagalog is the local language of the heart. You might also hear a splash of Bisaya or Ilocano, thanks to Taguig’s growing, diverse population.

• Kakanin from Tipas – Sticky rice delicacies like puto, kutsinta, and sapin-sapin made the traditional way.
• Street food delights – From fishballs and kwek-kwek to grilled isaw, perfect for merienda by the plaza.
• Global flavors – Korean, Japanese, American, and Italian cuisines thrive in BGC and McKinley Hill.
• Lugaw and Goto of old Taguig – Comforting, simple, and loved by locals for generations.

• Taguig Charter Day (December 8) – Celebrate cityhood with concerts, parades, and fireworks.
• Sta. Ana Fiesta (July) – The oldest fiesta in the city, filled with church processions, food feasts, and street dancing.
• Tipas Pandangguhan Festival – A cultural celebration that revives folk dancing and old traditions.
