Tunasan (Tagalog pronunciation: [tuˈna.san̩]) is a barangay in Muntinlupa, Philippines. It is the southernmost barangay of Metro Manila, located in the southern section of the city bordering the province of Laguna. The total land area of the barangay is 9.596 km2 (3.705 sq mi), the largest in the city. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 61,374.[1]

Tunasan is 27 kilometres (17 mi) south of Manila. It borders Poblacion, Muntinlupa to the north, Laguna de Bay to the east, the San Pedro barangays of San Antonio and Cuyab to the south, the Las Piñas barangay of Almanza Uno to the west, and the Dasmariñas barangay of Salapan to the southwest.

Etymology

[edit]

Tunasan got its name from a medicinal plant locally called tunas (Nymphaea nouchali), which was abundant on the Tunasan River and the shoreline of Laguna de Bay.

There are also three legends or myths that possibly explain the origin of Tunasan's name:[2]

  • Tunasan was apparently named after Datu Tuna Asomal, who was registered as the area's landowner according to a document called Torrens Title. His father, Datu Manaplo, founded the present-day settlement as Bagbagan in the mid-13th century when they settled here upon docking at Laguna de Bay from Panay and Ancient Tondo (present-day Manila). Bagbagan was said to be later renamed Tunasan in 1735.
  • According to old folks, Tunasan was a haven of hardened criminals and pirates (Tagalog: tulisan), hence, it was called such.
  • According to a legend, when the Americans stocked their tuna sardines in the area, the people hid them. Every time they eat, they send an errand boy to get some, and he would ask, "Where?" (Tagalog: s'an, shortened term of saan). Being so repeatedly through time, the term Tuna-san was coined, which became the name of the place.

History

[edit]

Tunasan was called "Tunasancillo" during the Spanish colonial period, and it was a barrio and also a part of the vast hacienda owned by the Augustinian Recollects in the pueblo or town of San Pedro Tunasan in the province of La Laguna.[3] San Pedro Tunasan was annexed to Biñan in 1903.[4] Eventually, the barrio became part of Muntinlupa, which was then part of Taguig in the province of Rizal when San Pedro Tunasan sold it in 1907 during the American period.[5][6] After the separation, San Pedro Tunasan changed its name to San Pedro and the sold barangay of Tunasancillo was renamed Tunasan.
