Alabang (pronounced as /tl/) is a barangay in Muntinlupa, Philippines. At one time, the area was a farming district and has since grown from a village to a major commercial center, including Filinvest City, Madrigal Business Park, and a transportation hub. It has an area of 8.064sqkm.[1] A large portion of Ayala Alabang came from Barangay Alabang.[2] It was the location of the Alabang Stock Farm.[3]
According to the translation of the stories of previous generations to the elderly people who are still living in Alabang, the word Alabang comes from two words: Alibangban (after the tree Alibangbang) and Abangan (Filipino for wait).
During the Spanish period, they say that many Alibangbang trees were planted in Alabang, and since people were still rare at that time, the area of the trees was wide, fat and its branches would fall off, which also rises approximately . Its leaves were about the size of a palm, and they appear to be twins that spread out during the day and gather spontaneously at night. Its leaves and fruits are also roasted because of its acidity. Also at night, it is crowded with fireflies. Using their torch light on the buttocks, they prey on the insects that land on the tree.
Currently, there are no Alibangbang trees to be found in Alabang.
See main article: Filinvest City. Barangay Alabang, part of the second district of Muntinlupa, has undergone tremendous growth mainly due to a development boom in the late 1990s.
