Ibayo-Tipas, also known as Ibayo Tipas,is one of the 38 barangays of Taguig, Metro Manila in the Philippines.
The first part of the barangay's name, Ibayo, comes from Tagalog for "further" or "other side". On the other hand, the second part, Tipas, comes from Tagalog tinagpas or tiga-gapas, which means "to cut" or "to break", representing the traditional practice of farmers cutting through rice crops during harvest.[1]
Through Municipal Resolution No. 51 of the Taguig Municipal Council on July 15, 1971, the old Nayon of Tipas was divided into 4 Barrios, namely: Calzada Tipas, Palingon Tipas, Ligid Tipas, and Ibayo Tipas.[2] It was converted into barangay in 1974, by virtue of Presidential Decree No. 557.[3]
On the book of Sir John Bowring (1792-1872), an English Diplomat, "A visit to the Philippine Islands", it was mentioned that Mabato Creek is a natural Thermal Bath.[4]
Ibayo Tipas is bounded on the borth by Mabato Creek, Manunuso Street, and Barangay Kalawaan, Pasig; on the east by Barangay Napindan; to the south by Laguna de Bay; and on the west by Tipas River and barangays Ligid Tipas and Palingon Tipas.
