==Etymology==
The original 800-some farmer-fishermen of the area were good at threshing rice after harvest. Hence they were referred to as "''mga taga-giik''," (Tagalog for "rice thresher") and the settlement as "''pook ng mga taga-giik''." Spanish friar Fray Alonso de Alvarado, together with conquistador Ruy López de Villalobos who crossed Pasig River to reach the city's present site in 1571 found "taga-giik" difficult to pronounce. "Tagui-ig" was later shortened to its current form "Taguig."〔(Origin of the Name - Taguig City )〕
