Central Signal Village, officiallyBarangay Central Signal Village and simply known asCentral Signal, is one of the 38barangays ofTaguig,Philippines. As of the2020 census, the population was 44,126. The barangay was previously known asEM's Signal Barrio on January 25, 1965, and was created asSignal Village in 1972, before it was renamed on December 28, 2008.
On June 8, 1964, around 18 families of the members ofSignal Corps of theArmed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) were relocated from Diliman,Quezon City to an area inFort Bonifacio, with the assistance of the Signal Service Battalion of thePhilippine Army.[3][4] That area later became known as Enlisted Men's (EM's) Signal Barrio, incorporating the name of the corps.[5] It was formally established on January 25, 1965, when it was reinforced by then-AFP Chief of Staff GeneralAlfredo Santos.[3] An association composed mostly of the wives of the corps personnel, led by Clarita Manalili, petitioned to then-PresidentDiosdado Macapagal to separate EM's Signal Barrio from Fort Bonifacio and award it to the residents. Macapagal then signed Proclamation No. 462 on September 29, 1965, which excluded the area from the military camp and called it as AFP EM's Village; the proclamation took effect but was not implemented.[3]
Bicutan, abarrio where Fort Bonifacio was located, was divided into four barrios in 1972, in which one of them became known as Signal Village.[6] It was converted into abarangay by the virtue of Presidential Decree No. 557 signed by then-PresidentFerdinand Marcos on September 21, 1974.[7] Its parcels of land were not yet distributed to the residents because they were still being reserved for the military camp.[6] On January 7, 1986, Marcos signed Proclamation No. 2476 to exclude the barangay from military reservation.[6] TheBureau of Lands began to distribute the parcels of land among the residents but was interrupted in February 1986 due to theEDSA revolution.[3] On October 16, 1987, then-PresidentCorazon Aquino signed Proclamation No. 172 reaffirming the exclusion of the barangay from reservation.[3]
In 2008, theSangguniang Panlungsod ofTaguig passedCity Ordinance No. 61 to create a new barangay that would be known as Central Signal Village,[8] which was also the new name of Signal Village.[9]: 49–50 Aplebiscite to ratify the ordinance was conducted by theCommission on Elections on December 18, 2008.[10][11] The city's board of canvassers proclaimed it as valid on December 28, 2008.[8] Signal Village was also divided to create new barangays, namely Katuparan, North Signal Village, andSouth Signal Village.[4]
Central Signal Village has a total land area of 77 hectares (770,000 square meters).[4] Before 2008, when it was still known as Signal Village, the barangay had a total land area of 1,642,869 square meters (164 hectares).[12] It is currently bordered to the north by Sampaloc Street and M.R.T.
