    Parañaque City, The City of Lights and Fashion Capital of


    the Philippines

    Parañaque City is known for its trades of salts, fishes, shoes and rice to the
    Asian traders. They trade goods to other Asian countries such as Japanese, Chinese,
    Indians and Malays even before the Philippines were conquered by the Spaniards.

    The origin of the name Parañaque got from the legend that long ago, in the
    mouth of a river, there was a balete tree that looks like a majestic ship. It got its name
    Palanyag which means point of navigation from the term “palayag”. Another version
    was, the natives living close to Manila Bay whose main livelihood is fishing or
    paglalayag. The eastern part where Muntinglupa was located, they were rice farmers
    who met the fishermen and then they had a fest and got drunk from drinking too much
    tuba. The fishermen stated that they should name it Palalayag due to their livelihood,
    while the farmers initiated that they should call it Palayan for good will. They come up
    with an idea of combining the two words which soon came to be “Palanyag”, the old
    name of Parañaque.

    Also, there was another version of where it got its name, it is during the Spanish
    colonization. A Spaniard rode carriage to go to a specific place. When he reached the
    place, he said “Para aqui, Para aqui” which means stop. The coachman did not
    understand and thought it was the name of the place, “Para aqui” became the name
    of the place which later became Parañaque.

    In 1572, Parañaque was officially founded by Augustinian Missionaries. Fr.


    Diego de Espinar, one of the missionary, established a mission house where a meetig
    called Council of Definitors was held. Ever since then, Palanyag, now became
    Parañaque, was considered as an independent town.

    The people of Parañaque became loyal to their oppressors, the Spaniards and
    keep giving services to them. It all change when a Chinese pirate invade the town but
    the Parañaqueños successfully prevented the invasion. Many lives were sacrificed
    and the horrible battles was named “Red Sea Incident”. Parañaqueños remained loyal
    to the Spaniards preventing different invasion, but their loyalty changed when
    Katipunan was created. They began being independent and fight for independence
    against the Spanish.

    Now, Parañaque remained one of the major trades and business center of the
    Philippines. They are known for their wet and dry goods. Fishing industries
    continuously develops as well as their markets. It is now a home of warm and
    hospitable Filipinos. Also became a second home for foreigners who is currently living
    in the city and loves the country.
