Muntinlupa
(
Tagalog:
[m?nt?n?lup?]
), officially the
City of Muntinlupa
(
Filipino
:
Lungsod ng Muntinlupa
), is a 1st class
highly urbanized city
in the
National Capital Region
of the
Philippines
. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 543,445 people.
[3]
It is bordered on the north by
Taguig
, to the northwest by
Paranaque
, by
Bacoor
and
Las Pinas
to the west, to the southwest by
Dasmarinas
, by
San Pedro
to the south, and by
Laguna de Bay
, the largest lake in the country, to the east. From high above, the city of Muntinlupa has many large, green patches, which is unusual for Metro Manila.
[5]
Because of these green patches, Muntinlupa earned the name "Emerald City"
[5]
by the tourism establishment
[6]
and also known as the "Gateway to
Calabarzon
" as it is the southernmost city of the
National Capital Region
.
Muntinlupa is known as the location of the national insular
penitentiary
, the
New Bilibid Prison
, where the country's most dangerous criminals are incarcerated. This was relocated from its
old site
in
Santa Cruz
,
Manila
.
[5]
Before the relocation of
New Bilibid Prison
to Muntinlupa in the 1930s, Muntinlupa was mainly dedicated to fishing and farming.
[5]
Ayala Alabang Village
, one of the country's biggest and most expensive residential communities, where many of the wealthy and famous live, is also located in Muntinlupa.
Etymology
[
edit
]
There are three plausible origins of the name of the city:
- Its association with the thin topsoil in the area, known locally as
munting lupa
, or "little soil" in
Tagalog
;
- Residents, purportedly answering a question from Spaniards in the 16th century of what the name of their place was, saying "
Monte sa Lupa
", apparently mistaking the question for what card game they were playing; and
- The topographical nature of the area, in which case the
Spanish
term
monte
, or "mountain", was expanded to
muntinlupa
, or "mountain land".
[7]
The 1987 Philippine Constitution spells the city's name as "Muntinglupa" instead of "Muntinlupa".
[8]
History
[
edit
]
Spanish colonial era
[
edit
]
In 1601, some 88 years after the arrival of
Portuguese
navigator
Ferdinand Magellan
in the Visayas islands, the original lands constituting Muntinlupa could be deduced to have been friar lands administered by the Augustinians, then sold and assigned to the Sanctuary of Guadalupe.
In the early 1800s, Joaquin Martinez de Zuniga, an Agustinian Friar, in his Two Volume Book: "Estadismo de las islas Filipinas", described Muntinlupa as a lakeside town composed of 250 tributes (each tribute representing a family of 5 to 7), and was the farthest town of the province of
Tondo
, itself composed of 14,437 native tributes and 3,528 Spanish Filipino tributes. Spiritually, it also belonged to the nearby Parish of
Our Lady of Guadalupe at Makati
and was connected to it via many rivers that streamed from
Laguna de Bay
through Muntinlupa towards
Makati
and eventually
Manila
proper.
[9]
: 26
In 1869, the lands were transferred to the state and large individual landholders. In an effort by the Spanish Government to bring under closer administrative control the people living in the contiguous sitios, as well as those in Alabang, Tunasan, Sucat, and Cupang, the municipality was created upon the recommendation of Don Eduardo de Canizares.
On August 6, 1898, the town supported the Philippine Revolution against the Spaniards and formally joined the revolutionary government headed by Gen.
Emilio Aguinaldo
.
American occupation era
[
edit
]
The Philippine Commission promulgated
Rizal
Province on June 11, 1901, through Act No. 137. Muntinlupa became part of the new province after being a part of the defunct
province of Manila
.
On October 12, 1903, Muntinlupa, alongside
Taguig
, was merged with
Pateros
by virtue of Act No. 942.
[10]
On November 25, 1903, Muntinlupa was incorporated under Act No. 1008 and included within the boundary of the province of
La Laguna
under the municipality of
Binan
.
[11]
Muntinlupa residents protested this Executive Act, and through their town head, Marcelo Fresnedi, filed a formal petition to the Governor for the return of the municipality to the province of Rizal. On March 22, 1905, Act No. 1308 paved the way for Muntinlupa's return to the province of Rizal to then become a part of
Taguig
, along with
Pateros
.
[12]
[13]

On December 19, 1917, Governor-General
Francis Burton Harrison
signed Executive Order 108, which made Muntinlupa an independent municipality, separating it from Taguig. The law took effect on January 1, 1918.
[12]
Vidal Joaquin, a native of
Alabang
, served as the first appointed mayor from 1918 to 1919, followed by Primo Ticman, native of
Poblacion
, from 1919 to 1922. Melencio Espeleta became the first elected mayor of Muntinlupa in 1922, serving until 1924.
Japanese occupation era
[
edit
]
Aerial view of Muntinlupa with New Bilibid Prison, 1941
On January 22, 1941, the historic
New Bilibid Prison
, the national penitentiary, was established in the hills of Muntinlupa. During World War II, the
New Bilibid Prison
was used to lock up Filipino political prisoners by the Japanese occupation authorities, but they were set free by
Hunters ROTC
guerrillas.
[5]
Philippine independence
[
edit
]
On November 7, 1975, Muntinlupa was transferred from the Province of
Rizal
to the newly formed
Metropolitan Manila
by virtue of Presidential Decree No. 824 issued by then-President
Ferdinand Marcos
.
[14]
June 13, 1986, following the
EDSA Revolution
in February of that year, President
Corazon C. Aquino
appoints
Ignacio R. Bunye
as Officer-In-Charge of Muntinlupa as part of a nationwide revamp of local government units. In the ratification of the
1987 Constitution
, Muntinlupa together with
Las Pinas
formed one political district.
On January 31, 1988, protesters of the
1988 Muntinlupa election
results who barricaded in front of the Muntinlupa town hall the past two days began storming the premises, with supporters of the two leading mayoral candidates confronting each other and causing injury to former mayor Santiago Carlos Jr. and barangay official Florante Torres among others.
[15]
[16]
By February 17, a grenade that failed to explode was found to have been thrown onto the roof of mayor-elect Bunye's house in Alabang.
[17]
On December 6, 1988, President
Corazon C. Aquino
by Proclamation 351 declares December 19 as "Municipality of Muntinlupa Day".
[18]
Cityhood
[
edit
]
On February 16, 1995, House Bill No. 14401, which seeks to convert the municipality of Muntinlupa into a highly urbanized city, was approved by the House of Representatives.
On March 1, 1995, Muntinlupa became the 65th city in the Philippines as signed into law by President
Fidel V. Ramos
, its conversion into a highly urbanized city by virtue of Republic Act (R.A.) No. 7926. Per Section 62 of R.A. 7926, Muntinlupa and Las Pinas were to constitute separate congressional districts, with each district electing its separate representative in the 1998 elections.
[19]
This separation was additionally confirmed in the city charter of Las Pinas (R.A. 8251) which was approved by plebiscite on March 26, 1997.
[20]
Ignacio Bunye, who previously served as mayor of Muntinlupa, was elected in 1998 as the first congressman representing the city.
On March 1, 2001, Republic Act No. 9191 was enacted, declaring March 1 of every year as a Special Non-working Holiday in the City of Muntinlupa to be known as "The Muntinlupa City Charter Day".
[21]
Contemporary
[
edit
]
On August 3, 2007, the Muntinlupa City Hall was completely damaged and later abandoned due to a fire. The fire started from a slum area behind the city hall. Almost all files, important documents and other references of Muntinlupa were burned.

Photo of Muntinlupa along Laguna de Bay and nearby cities captured by the Copernicus Sentinel-2A satellite on May 8, 2016
It is bordered on the north by
Taguig
, to the northwest by
Paranaque
, to the west by
Las Pinas
, to the southwest by the cities of
Bacoor
and
Dasmarinas
in
Cavite
, to the south by the city of
San Pedro
in
Laguna
, and to the east by

, the largest lake in the country.
Muntinlupa's terrain is relatively flat to sloping towards the east along the lake. Gentle rolling hills occupy the western part of the city, with elevation increasing up to 60 meters (200 ft) and above towards its southwest portion.
While a majority of the land area in the city is highly urbanized, the New Bilibid Prison (NBP) Reservation in barangay Poblacion is relatively free of urbanization, although there are ongoing discussions to move the national penitentiary to
Nueva Ecija
and
Occidental Mindoro
, respectively.

Etymology of barangays
[
edit
]
The barangays of the city are named after the botanical characteristics, topographical features, and historical events that had been observed in the area when it was named. Tunasan from the plant
tunas
. Putatan got its name from a tree called
putat
. Cupang is likewise named after the
cupang tree
. Buli is named after the
buri palm
. Alabang is named after the river that passes through the barangay. Ayala Alabang was created by Batas Pambansa Bilang 219 out of Barangay Alabang. Sucat got its name from the vernacular word "sukat", which means "measurement" since it was measured during the Spanish era.
Subdivisions
[
edit
]
While
barangays
are the administrative divisions of the city and are legally part of the addresses of homes and establishments, many residents identify themselves by their
subdivision
(village) instead of their barangay.
Territorial dispute and discrepancies
[
edit
]
Muntinlupa is involved in a boundary dispute with
Paranaque
, centered on Sitio Bagong Silang, which is claimed by Sucat and contested by Paranaque's barangay
BF Homes
.
[31]
Additionally, Sitio Pagkakaisa in barangay
San Martin de Porres, Paranaque
is mistakenly regarded as part of Sucat.

Barangay Alabang
, part of the second district of Muntinlupa, has undergone tremendous growth mainly due to a development boom in the late 1990s. The development of two large-scale commercial real estate projects namely; the
Filinvest Corporate City
and
Ayala Land
's Madrigal Business Park, changed the landscape of Muntinlupa from what was once vast fields of cow pasture in the late 1980s, into a supercity that houses new residential, business, industrial and commercial establishments.
The Muntinlupa "Business One-Stop-Shop" is recognized in the 2014 World Cities Summit in Singapore in its effectiveness in reducing the number of steps in acquiring a Business Permit.
