1.1 History

PROFILE OF MALABON CITY

4

After the revolution, by virtue of Philippine Commission Act No. 942, on June 11, 1901, Malabon and Navotas merged again into a single municipality with the seat of government in Malabon in consonance with the Philippine Commission’s economic and centralization policies. However, it only lasted until February 16, 1859, after a grueling separation campaign initiated by the townspeople of Navotas. Also, by virtue of Philippine Commission Act. No. 137, the towns of Malabon and Navotas were incorporated into the newly created Province of Rizal.

On 1890, Malabon joined forces with other municipalities in their quest for freedom from the Spanish rule, and eventually, the American governance. During this period, the rivers and waterways in the town of Malabon also contributed in the country’s history. On February 6, 1899, two days after open hostilities had broken out between the US forces and the Republican Army, the Tullahan River served as a crucial back-up position for Filipino troops with General Antonio Luna commanding.

American Period

Malabon’s waterways also became vital in transporting tobacco in the early 1800 when the cultivation of tobacco was monopolized by the Spanish government. Since all the factories relied on waterways for transporting their goods, transacting business and attending religious festivities in the mother town became difficult. As a result, Navotas was then separated from Malabon through the initiatives of the principales of San Jose and Bangkulasi.

During this era, Malabon served as a station for goods due to the rivers and tributaries that linked Malabon to other towns and facilitated produce-to-market operations. Malabon became the world’s largest producer of high-quality indigo which was exported to European textile industry from 1770 to 1789. However, when Manila opened as a Freeport after 1789, foreign vessels carried off large supplies of its precious dye.

On May 21, 1599, Malabon, then known as Tambobong, was founded by the Augustinians as a visita of Tondo and was recognized a town in 1614.Historically, Tambobong is the official name given by Tondocabecera when the aggrupation of barrios was made into pueblo in 1670. Local inhabitants persisted in calling it Malabon, which is also the name of Tambobong’s principal barrio, the present Concepcion.
