Bilogo (officially '''Barangay Bilogo''') is one of the 105 barangays constituting [[Batangas City]], [[Philippines]]. It's a rural settlement situated east of the city and is about twenty minutes drive from [[Batangas City#Barangays|Poblacion]]. Brgy. Bilogo is politically subdivided into seven [[purok]]s while three other [[sitio]]s namely ''Bagong Pook'', ''Callejon'' (colloquially known as ''Ilaya''), and ''Santolan'' are enclave therein.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://wowbatangas.com/towns-and-cities/batangas-city/batangas-city-batangas-list-of-barangays/| title=Batangas City, Batangas List of Barangays| author={{aut|Jenm}}| date=August 3, 2012| accessdate=27 November 2013}}</ref><ref name="herald2005">{{Harvnb|Official Pupils Publication of Bilogo Elementary School|2005|p=1}}.</ref> |
|||
== Etymology == |
|||
Based on an old legend, ''Bilogo'' came from ''bayugo'', the Filipino/Tagalog word for the "fruit of the [[Entada|gugo tree]]" which was formerly abundant in the community. Soon, ''bayugo'' became ''biyugo'' until it was finally referred as Bilogo.<ref name="bilogo">{{Harvnb|Batangas City Public Library and Information Center|p=14}}.</ref> |
|||
== History == |
|||
Since 1870, Bilogo has been one of the earliest barangays of [[Batangas City]]. Bilogo belonged to a wealthy Spanish official who was married to one of its native inhabitants. More inter-marriages between local and foreign residents followed and the population gradually increased. Years later, Bilogo was a elevated as a [[sitio]] and was merged with Sitio Maapaz, becoming known as ''Bilogo Maapaz''. Eventually, Bilogo and Maapaz separated and became independent barangays.<ref name="bilogo">{{Harvnb|Batangas City Public Library and Information Center|p=14-15}}.</ref><ref name="city"/><ref name="city">{{Harvnb|City Investment & Tourism Office|2006}}.</ref> |

Quintin Manalo was one of the first teniente del barrios to served service of leadership for Brgy. Bilogo. Subsequent elections installed the following as his successors: Fortunato Sulit, Jose Manalo, Miguel Ebe, Exequiel Perez, Victor Castillo, Miguel Chavez, Felix Sulit, Juan Perez, and Dionisio Panganiban. When [[Japanese occupation of the Philippines|World War II]] was ravaging the country, houses of Eleuterio Canent, Hilarion Lontoc, Pedro Ramos, and Francisco Rosales were burned down by Japanese soldiers after one of their officers was allegedly murdered in Brgy. Bilogo. It was on 1960 when the public elementary school was constructed through government supervisions. For three consecutive years (1998-2000), Brgy. Bilogo was hailed as the "most cleanest and healthiest barangay of Batangas City" and even of the entire [[CALABARZON]]; this happened throughout the leadership of Angel Umali. Alfredo Villanueva assumed as [[barangay captain]] after Umali. During his term, improvements of waterworks were made possible and a [[materials recovery facility]] was constructed to sustain proper segregation of solid wastes.<ref name="bilogo">{{Harvnb|Batangas City Public Library and Information Center|p=14-15, 36}}.</ref><ref name="herald1998">{{Harvnb|Official Pupils Publication of Bilogo Elementary School|1998|p=1}}.</ref><ref name="batangascity">{{Harvnb|Local Government of Batangas City|1999|p=3}}.</ref><ref name="herald2006(2)">{{Harvnb|Official Pupils Publication of Bilogo Elementary School|2006|p=1}}.</ref><ref name="herald2006(1)">{{Harvnb|UP Planning and Development Research Foundation, Inc.|2006|p=1}}.</ref> |
|||
On 2007, Villanueva was succeeded by Ramil Manalo. Currently, Jaime Villena is serving his second term as barangay captain after winning the local elections of 2010 and 2013. |

== Geography == |
|||
[[File:Mapag-ong.JPG|thumb|right|<center>Mapag-ong Hill in Sitio Santolan</center>]] |
|||
Brgy. Bilogo is estimated to be at least {{convert|8|km|mi}} east of [[Batangas City#Barangays|Poblacion]]. It is bounded by Brgy. Maapaz to the north; Brgy. Paharang East to the west; [[San Jose Sico|Brgy. San Jose Sico]] to the east; and Brgy. Talumpok West and Brgy. Talumpok East to the south. Forests, streams, low-rolling hills, fruit-bearing trees, and crops are substantially everywhere in the locality. Residential and commercial areas are usually located along the national and minor roads.<ref>{{cite map| title=Map of Batangas City: Barangays| url=http://www.batangascity.gov.ph/batsmap/bats_city_general.gif| accessdate= 7 May 2014}}</ref> |
|||
== Infrastructure and utilities == |
|||
[[Meralco]] provides electricity to Brgy. Bilogo while telephone communication and Internet connectivity are both guaranteed by [[Globe Telecom]] and [[Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company|PLDT]]. Access to potable water is administered by the local rural waterworks and sanitation program.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://batangascity.gov.ph/bats2/?page_id=135| title=Infrastructure & Utilities| accessdate=27 November 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url=http://batangascity.gov.ph/bats2/?page_id=138| title=Communication & Mass Media| accessdate=27 November 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url=http://batangascity.gov.ph/bats2/?page_id=129| title=Physical & Geographical Aspects| accessdate=27 November 2013}}</ref> |

Aside from thriving numbers of crops and livestock yields, there are several booming industrial establishments in the community, such as the Ortemer General Merchandise and Unija Hija Enterprises. In relation with this, last March 2010 Brgy. Bilogo was identified by the UP Planning and Development Research Foundation, Inc. as one of the nine growth corridors of [[Batangas City]].<ref name="planades">{{Harvnb|UP Planning and Development Research Foundation, Inc.|2010|chapter=3}}.</ref> |
