Malabon City
Malabon, per legend, came from the word “maraming labong” which means plenty of labong, the edible bamboo shoots. Originally called the town of Tambobong, Malabon was founded as a “Visita” of Tondo by the Augustinian friars on May 21, 1599 and remained under the administrative jurisdiction of the province of Tondo from 1627 to 1688.
The newspaper "La Independencia" was first printed in Malabon’s Asilo de Huertanos, where orphaned children due to a plague in 1882 were housed.
Malabon was officially made a municipality of the newly-created province of Rizal on June 11, 1901 by virtue of Philippine Commission Act 137. When Philippine Commission Act 942 was promulgated, Malabon was merged with Navotas under a new government. On January 16, 1906, Philippine Commission Act 1441 separated Malabon from Navotas into two distinct municipalities of the Rizal province.
For 70 years, Malabon was a municipality of Rizal, until November 7, 1975, by virtue of Presidential Decree No. 824, when Malabon became a part of Metropolitan Manila or the National Capital Region. Malabon became a city on April 21, 2001, under Republic Act 9019 when Malabon was 407 years old.
