MUNTINLUPA: TUNGO SA
UNANG SIGLO NG LAKAS,
TALINO, AT BUHAY
MAYOR JAIME R. FRESNEDI / 19 DECEMBER 2016
Taong 1917 nang nilagdaan ni Gobernador Heneral Francis Burton Harrison ang Executive
Order 108 na nagsasaad na ang Muntinlupa ay isa nang ganap na bayan. At ngayong gabi ay nasa
ika-siyamnapu’t-siyam na anibersaryo na tayo mula ng nasabing pagkakatatag.
Nais kong magbalik-tanaw sa mayamang kasaysayan ng ating Lungsod:
* 1901 nang maging bahagi ng Bayan ng Morong ang Muntinlupa.
* 1903 naman nang maging bahagi tayo ng lalawigan ng Laguna sa bayan ng Biñan sa
pamamagitan ng Philippine Commission Act of 1008.
* 1905 nang ibinalik ang Muntinlupa sa lalawigan ng Rizal ngunit napailalim ito sa Taguig
kasama ang Pateros sa pamamagitan ng Kautusan Bilang 1308.
* At tulad nga ng aking nabanggit, noong Disyembre 19, 1917, naging ganap na bayan ang
Muntinlupa.
* Mula noon hanggang 1960’s – Agrikultura ang pangunahing hanapbuhay sa ating Bayan.
Hanggang sa unti-unting nagbago patungong industriyal sa pagsisimula ng pagpasok ng
NAPOCOR.
* 1970’s – Sa pagbubukas ng South Superhighway, nagsimulang magtayo ng mga industrial
establishments sa Muntinlupa, gaya ng Zuellig Pharma, Firestone, Lirag, Nescafe, Pacwood, Tai-
Ping, Solid Mills, at iba pa. Sa mga taon ding ito na-develop ang ilang subdibisyon gaya ng JPA
sa Tunasan and Alabang Hills sa Cupang.
* 1980’s- Nagsimulang lumipat palabas ng Muntinlupa ang ilang mga industriya at umusbong
ang iba’t ibang commercial establishments. Namayagpag din ang development ng iba pang
subdivisions katulad ng Ayala-Alabang.
* 1986 – Matagumpay na pinigilan ng ating mga mamamayan ang pagpasok ng mga sundalo
mula Timog Luzon upang maging karagdagang pwersa ng hukbong sandatahan noong People
Power o ESDA I Revolution. Matapos ito, hinirang ni Pangulong Cory Aquino bilang Officer-in
Charge ng Muntinlupa si Atty. Toting Bunye. Ang inyong lingkod naman ay nahirang bilang
Municipal Attorney at OIC-Vice Mayor noong taong iyon.
* 1990’s – Itinayo ang Filinvest Corporate City sa dati’y Alabang Stock Farm, na ‘di naglaon ay
naging isa sa mga pangunahing business districts sa bansa.
* Marso 1, 1995 – Nilagdaan ni Dating Pangulong Fidel V. Ramos ang “REPUBLIC ACT 7926 o
MUNTINLUPA CITY CHARTER”, upang tayo’y maging ganap na lungsod.
* Taong 2000 at mga sumunod na taon – mas lumago ang mga service-oriented firms sa Lungsod
tulad ng hotels, condominiums, retail establishments, at business process outsourcing companies
o BPO. Ilan sa mga ating nasaksihan ay ang pagtatayo ng mga gusali ng Insular Life, Festival
Mall, Convergys, Flour Daniel at iba pang multinational corporations.
Hindi tayo magsasawang magpasalamat sa mga dating naging pinuno ng Muntinlupa, sampu ng
kanilang pamilya. Salamat sa mahalagang papel na kanilang ginampanan sa ating kasaysayan.
Gayundin sa mga kasalukuyang lider, gaya nina Congressman Ruffy Biazon, Vice Mayor Celso
Dioko, at mga konsehal para sa kanilang hindi matatawarang dedikasyon nang paglilingkod sa
mga Muntinlupeno.
Naging mabilis ang takbo ng mga taon at ngayon ay halos ika-isandaang taong anibersaryo na ng
ating Lungsod.
Isang karangalan sa akin na maging lingkod-bayan ng Muntinlupa sa mga nakalipas na dekada
bilang inyong Punonglungsod at maging bahagi ng kasaysayan nito. Isang karangalan sa akin na
magampanan ang kredo na paglingkuran ang Muntinlupa ng aking buong lakas, talino, at buhay.
Kasabay ng mga hamon na hinaharap, nagbago rin ang kalidad ng ating pagseserbisyo. Mas
inilapit natin ang mga tanggapan sa ating mga mamamayan sa pamamagitan ng ating mga
satellite offices, katuwang ang national government agencies, gaya ng – Registry of Deeds, NSO,
NBI, SEC, LTO, DFA, at iba pa. Batid niyo rin na binigyangimportansiya at pinatatag natin ang
ating mga infrastructure projects.
Napakahalaga ng unang siglo kaya ating itinatag ang Muntinlupa Centennial Commission na
kumakatawan sa iba’t ibang sektor sa ating Lungsod. Kasama rito ang lahat ng tanggapan ng
Pamahalaang Lungsod, ang ating Sangguniang Panlungsod, maging si Dating Mayor Toting
Bunye, mga kinatawan ng national government agencies, Muntinlupa Artists Society, mga
barangay, miyembro ng pribadong sektor, at iba pang mga organisasyon.
Isa sa ating mga pasisinayaan bilang bahagi ng ating pagdiriwang ay ang Muntinlupa Museum
kung saan itatampok ang mayamang kasaysayan ng ating Lungsod. Kung mayroon po kayong
anumang bagay o kagamitan na maaaring ibahagi sa ating Museo, mangyaring makipag-ugnayan
lamang po kayo sa amin.
Dagdag dito, ang araw na ito ay araw rin ng pasasalamat. Mapalad tayo dahil inabot ng ating
henerasyon ang kaganapang ito. Katulad nito, natatandaan ko rin na noong Hunyo 12, 1998,
ipinagdiwang ng ating bansa ang unang sentenaryo ng ating kasarinlan mula sa mga Kastila. This
is the reason why we have to seize this moment and take this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to
celebrate and rejoice.
Higit sa lahat, ang ating pasasalamat sa ating Panginoong na nagbibigay-katuparan sa lahat ng
ating adhikain. Ang Panginoong nating Siyang nagbibigay ng ating lakas, talino, at buhay. Ang
sabi sa Psalm 100:5, “For the LORD is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his
faithfulness to all generations”. Bilang Kanyang lingkod, sikapin nating mamuhay ng naaayon sa
Kanyang katuwiran. Isang buhay na kalugud-lugod sa mata ng ating Lumikha.
Ang gabing ito ay hudyat ng pagsisimula ng isang taong pagdiriwang. Tunghayan po ninyo ang
“logo” ng ating “1st Centennial Celebration”.
Tungo sa matagumpay na ika-isangdaang taon ng Muntinlupa at sa mga susunod pa! Yakapin
natin ang pagkakaisa. Maraming salamat at magandang gabi sa ating lahat

Muntinlupa City

The City of Muntinlupa (Filipino: Lungsod ng Muntinlupa) is the southernmost city in Philippine
National Capital Region. It is bordered on the north by Taguig City; to the northwest by Parañaque
City; by Las Piñas City to the west; to the southwest by the municipality of Bacoor, Cavite; by the
municipality of San Pedro, Laguna; and by Laguna de Bay to the east, the largest lake in the country. It
is classified as a Highly Urbanized City[1] with a population of more than 400,000[2] and is given the
nickname "Emerald City of the Philippines" by the tourism establishment.[citation needed] Muntinlupa
was once notoriously known as the location of the national insular penitentiary, the New Bilibid Prison,
where the country's most dangerous criminals were incarcerated. Consequently, Muntinlupa or "Munti"
became synonymouswith the national penitentiary although it has largely shaken-off this negative
image to become one of the most progressive cities in the country.

Muntinlupa is also home to some of the best commercial establishments in the metropolis and is the
location of Ayala Alabang Village, one of the country's biggest and most expensive residential
communities, where many of the wealthy and famous live.

Economy and development

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 City 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. It was a
transformation reminiscent of Makati City's development boom some 30 years prior.

Some of the country's premier shopping centers, including the Alabang Town Center and the Festival
Supermall, the towering Insular Life Towers, the Asian Hospital and Medical Center, and the Northgate
Business District, which specializes in hosting information and technology industries, are important
places of interest and landmarks of the city. Nightlife is still relatively staid compared to those of its
neighbors, and younger residents often flock to other cities in Metro Manila,
particularly Makati, Taguig, or Manila, during the weekend to enjoy the night out.

This city has recently acquired the status "Most Competitive City" and the "Most Improved City" in the
Philippines.[citation needed]

History of the name

The history of the name “Muntinlupa” comes from at least three stories.

 First, its association with the thin topsoil in the area.

 Second, residents, purportedly replying to a question by Spaniards in the 16th century what the
name of their place was, said “Monte sa Lupa”—apparently mistaking the question for what
card game they were playing.

 Third, the topographical nature of the area, where the term Monte or mountain was expanded
to Muntinlupa or mountain land.

Some documents suggest that the first and third versions of Muntinlupa and Monte sa Lupa respectively
eventually became Muntinlupa either through misspelling or mispronunciation. But no record to date
can firmly establish which of the three versions is historically correct.

Muntinlupa is an old term that refers to a barangay hence called as Munting Lupa (which means a
smaller branch of a city or a municipality, often referred to a county) now known as the Población. As
early as 1800, the Catholic priest Father Joaquín de Zúñiga chronicled it as La poblacion que sigue se
llama Muntinlupa and Muntinglupa was used as the Tagalog term for the city during the American era.
Historical Landmarks

 The Bureau of Corrections Administration Building - This is a prison facade that houses the
offices of the prison administration. The maximum security compound, consisting of 12
buildings called brigades are located at the western side of the facade. The structures were
built in 1941, but it is the area of the medium security compound that is being shown in movies
and in television. The maximum security compount was never shown in TV or in movies, except
for the Office of the Director and the front view of the Maximum Security Compound.

 Jamboree Lake - This is the smallest natural lake in the country, a favorite hang-out spot for
nature lovers, as well as ordinary passers-by looking for a cool respite from the tropical heat.
The lake has been in existence since time immemorial.

 Memorial Hill - This is a small hill in the NBP reservation compound that cradles a World War II
Vintage Japanese canon. The hill is likewise the burial place of Eriberto Misa the famous

characterizes the outstanding edifice. This was built simultaneously with the Administration
Building in 1941. This is also the official residence of the Director of Bureau of Corrections.

 The Japanese Garden Cemetery - The cemetery is a burial place of Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita,
the Japanese general who became famous during the Japanese occupation of the country.

Government

Muntinlupa City is governed primarily by the city mayor, the vice-mayor and the city councilors. The
mayor acts as the chief executive of the city while the city councilors acts as its legislative body. The
vice-mayor, besides taking on mayoral responsibilities in case of a temporary vacancy, acts as the
presiding officer of the city legislature. The legislative body is composed of 16 regular members (8 per

 THE 19TH CITYHOOD OF MUNTINLUPA
Noong Pebrero 16, 1995, ang House Bill No. 14404 na nagsasalin sa Municipality
of Muntinlupa sa isang highly urbanized city ay inaprubahan ng House of
Representatives. Noong Marso 1, 1995, naging ika-65 lungsod ng Pilipinas ang
Muntinlupa sa bisa ng Republic Act No. 7926.

Tampok sa mga aktibidad para sa pagdiriwang ng ika-19 anibersaryo ng

pagkalunsod ngayong taon ay ang pagtitipun-tipon ng mahigit 9,500 magulang
na magbabasa ng “Love You Forever” na isang children’s book ni Robert Munsch
sa kanialng mga anak sa Filinvest Corproate City sa alabang sa pagtatangkang
sirain ang isang Guinness world Record sa may pinakamaraming bilang ng mga
magulang na nagbabasa para sa kanilang mga anak sa iisang lokasyon.
Inorganisa ito sa pakikipagtulungan ng Department of Education Division of City
Schools, Muntinlupa.

Ang Muntinlupa ay nasa hangganan ng Taguig City sa hilaga, Parañaque City sa

hilaga-kanluran, Las Piñas City sa kanluran, probinsiya ng Laguna sa timog-
kanluran, at Laguna de Bay sa silangan. Sa tatlong bersiyon ng paliwanag kung
paano natamo ang pangalan nito, ang dalawa ay iniuugnay sa pisikal na
katangian nito – ang manipis na top soil sa lugar at ang topography nito. Ang
terminong ‘monte’ o mountain ay kalaunang pinalawak upang maging
Muntinlupa o mountain land. Ang pangatlong bersiyon ay nagmula sa sinaunang
mga residente na tumugon sa tanong ng isang Kastila noong ika-169 siglo sa
kung ano ang pangalan ng lugar, anila “Monte de Lupa”, sa pag-aakalang ang
tanong ay tungkol sa nilalaro nilang baraha. Sa ngayon, walang opisyal na
record sa kung alin sa tatlong bersiyon ang tama. Ngunit para sa mga residente,
ang Muntinlupa ay isang sinaunang terminao na tumutukoy sa isang bayan na
minsang kinilala bilang Poblacion, at noong 1800s, itinala ni Fr. Joaquin M. De
Zuñiga, isang paring Katoliko, bilang “La Poblacion que Sigue se Llama
Muntinlupa”.

Taglay ng Muntinlupa city ang pagiging unang premyadong sentro ng urbanidad

sa bansa na nagbabawal sa paggamit ng plastic bags at styrofoam sa
pagpapasa ng City Ordinance 10-109 na nagkabisa noong Enero 18, 2011.
Tumanggap ito ng iba’t ibang parnagal at pagkilala dahil sa tatlong
pinakamainam na pamamaraan nito: Business One-Stop Shop (BOSS), Real
Property Tax Assessment (RPTA), at ang Migration Information Center (MIC). Ang
BOSS, kung saan ang lahat ng ahensiya at tanggapan para sa pag-iisyu ng mga
lisensiya at permit sa iisang bubong, tinamo ang titulong Most Business-Friendly
City para sa 2001, 2002, 2006. Ang RPTA, na dinibelop noong 1991, ang
umaayuda sa City Assessor upang madaling mahanap ang isang ari-arian at
alamin ang assessed value nito, ay pinuri ng Department of Finance, ng Civil
Service Commission at ng Galing Pook Awards Committee bilang isang model
system. Ang MIC, na tumanggap ng Rafael M. Salas Population and Development
Award for Local Government Units (LGU) Category – National Capital Region
noong 2004, ay patuloy na umaakit ng iba pang LGU sa Muntinlupa upang pag-
aralan ang operasyon ng MIC sa layunin ipatupad sa kani-kanilang lokalidad.

Ang Manila Bulletin, sa pangunguna ng Chairman of the Board of Directors na si

Dr. Emilio T. Yap, President and Publisher Atty. Hermogenes P. Pobre, Executive
Vice President Dr. Emilio C. Yap III, Editor-in-Chief Dr. Cris J. Icban Jr., Business
Editor Loreto D. Cabañes, iba pang opisyal at kawani, ay bumabati sa
Muntinlupa City sa pangunguna nina Mayor Atty. Jaime R. Fresnedi, Vice Mayor
Artemio A. Simundac, Congressman Rodolfo G. Biazon, City Administrator Engr.
Allan A. Cachuela, City Treasurer Anastacio L. Miñoza, iba pang opisyal at
residente, sa okasyon ng kanilang 19th Cityhood Day. Hangad natin ang
kanilang tagumpay. CONGRATULATIONS AT MABUHAY!
