Central Signal Village, officially Barangay Central Signal Village and simply known as Central Signal, is one of the 38 barangays of Taguig, Metro Manila, Philippines. As of the 2020 census, the population was 44,126. The barangay was previously known as Signal Village, which was established on January 25, 1965, before it was renamed on December 28, 2008.

History[edit]

On June 8, 1964, Signal Village was founded within Fort Bonifacio by enlisted personnel of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and their families who were relocated in that area from Diliman, Quezon City with the assistance of the Signal Service Batallion of the Philippine Army.[4] It was formally established when it was reinforced by AFP Chief of Staff General Alfredo Santos on January 25, 1965.[5] An association composed of the wives of the military personnel, led by Clarita Manalili, petitioned to then-President Diosdado Macapagal to separate the land where they were living from Fort Bonifacio and award it to the residents. Macapagal then signed Proclamation No. 462 on September 29, 1965, which excluded the land and its environs from the military camp and called them as AFP EM's Village; the proclamation took effect but was not implemented.[5]

Signal Village was under the jurisdiction of Barrio Bicutan until it was separated from the latter and became a barangay in 1972, but the parcels of land were not yet distributed to residents due to them still being reserved for Fort Bonifacio.[6] On January 7, 1986, then-President Ferdinand Marcos signed Proclamation No. 2476 to exclude Signal Village from the military camp.[6] The Bureau of Lands began to distribute the parcels of land among the residents, but they were interrupted in February 1986 due to the EDSA revolution that removed Marcos from the office.[5] On October 16, 1987, then-President Corazon Aquino signed Proclamation No. 172 reaffirming the exclusion of the barangay from the military camp.[5]

In 2008, the Sangguniang Panglungsod of Taguig passed City Ordinance No. 61 to create a new barangay that would be known as Central Signal Village,[7] which was also the new name of Signal Village.[8]: 49–50  A plebiscite to ratify the ordinance was conducted by the Commission on Elections on December 12, 2008.[9][10] The city's board of canvassers proclaimed it as valid on December 28, 2008.[7]

Geography[edit]

Central Signal Village has a total land area of 77 hectares (770,000 square meters).[4] Before 2008, when it was still known as Signal Village, the barangay had a total land area of 1,642,869 square meters (164 hectares).[11] It is currently bordered to the north by Sampaloc Street and M.R.T. Avenue (formerly Cuasay Street), to the south by Governor Rodriguez Avenue, Luzon Avenue, Espino Street, Callejon Balleser Street, and Calle Cabasaan, to the east by NAPOCOR High Tension Power Line, to the northwest by Veterans Compound, and to the southwest by F.T.I. Compound.[7] It has seven adjacent barangays: North Signal Village and Pinagsama on the north, Hagonoy and New Lower Bicutan on the east, South Signal Village and Lower Bicutan on the south, and West Bicutan on the west.[4]

The barangay is composed of 60% hilly areas and 40% flat lands.[4] It is traversed by the West Valley Fault of the Marikina Valley Fault System, making the barangay prone to an earthquake that could generate of up to 7.2 magnitude on the Richter scale.[12]
