Etymology

edit

Talisay is derived from a tree of the same name (Terminalia catappa) where the bells of a Catholic parish church were hung. Such church was then a temporary building located at the center of the then barrio.[5]

History

edit

Talisay traces its roots to a barrio that was once part of Tanauan during the Spanish colonization of the Philippines. In 1754, it was annexed to Taal following the transfer of Tanauan's seat to its present-day barangay Sala as a result of the Taal Volcano eruption that year.[6] Talisay was later formed as a separate municipio on February 10, 1869.[5] However, on March 28, 1903, during the American occupation, it was returned to Tanauan but later separated on July 23, 1906 to regain its independent status.[7][8]

On April 1, 1941, a portion of Talisay, especially its barrios Birinayan (Berinayan) and Caloocan, was ceded to Tagaytay through Executive Order No. 336 signed by President Manuel L. Quezon.[9] Both aforementioned barrios were later returned to Talisay on June 7, 1956.[10]

On June 21, 1969, the barrios of Bayuyungan, Ticub, Balakilong, Bugaan, Borinayan (Berinayan), As-is, San Gabriel, and Buso-buso were separated from Talisay to constitute into a new and separate municipality of Laurel by virtue of Republic Act No. 5689.[11]

Geography

edit

Talisay is located at 14°06′N 121°01′E / 14.1°N 121.02°E / 14.1; 121.02, in the north-central area of Batangas which is located southwest of the island of Luzon. Talisay is 56 kilometers (35 mi) from Batangas City and 79 kilometers (49 mi) south from Metro Manila. It is bordered in the north by Tagaytay, west by Laurel, east by Tanauan, and south by a vast volcanic lake called Taal Lake, where Taal Volcano is located, whose northern part is occupied by Talisay sharing with San Nicolas from its southern part.

According to the Philippine Statistics Authority, the municipality has a land area of 28.20 square kilometers (10.89 sq mi)[12] constituting 0.90% of the 3,119.75-square-kilometer (1,204.54 sq mi) total area of Batangas.
