The Felix Y. Manalo National Historical Landmark is a 744sqm plaza situated in Barangay Calzada in Taguig, Philippines.[1] The site marks the birthplace of Felix Manalo who was born on May 10, 1886, at the time Taguig was still a town that is part of Rizal province.[2] Manalo is widely regarded by non-members as the founder of Iglesia ni Cristo who registered the church with the Philippine government in 1914. The area where the landmark stands is believed to be the site of the former ancestral house of Manalo's family.[1]
Manalo's birthplace was proclaimed as a National Historical Landmark by the National Historical Institute on January 6, 1986.[3]
