About

Barangay Pitogo derived its name from a palm plant called "Pitogo" (seen in front of the Barangay Hall) which abound in the area before World War II. Bounded on the North by Guadalupe Nuevo, on the West by Pinagkaisahan, on the South by South Cembo. It has an area of 19.0 hectares, composed of 971 houses having a population of 21,000 with 5.000 families.
The Barangay came into being in 1956 when the Commanding General of the Philippine Army saw the need to provide housing area at the periphery of Fort Bonifacio for Military personnel thus Pitogo was one of the Enlisted men's Barrio to be created. From then on the influx of AFP families continued to settle one after the other until the whole place became full of houses. The affairs of the Barangay was then being administratively controlled by the Post Commander of Fort Bonifacio. For the first time election of barangay officials was held on May 17, 1982.
By the virtue of Proclamation 2475's 86 as mended by Proclamation 518, seven barangay in Fort Bonifacio situated in the Municipality of Makati open for disposition only then that development in terms of infrastructure, social, economic and political progress started to proceed.
Through the sincere desire and vigorous support of Mayor Jejomar C. Binay, all lots were surveyed free at no cost to the house owners. As of 80% of all lots have original certificate title. 100% of the roads are concreted. New modern High School, Elementary School, Kindergarten, Nursery School Building, Covered Court and Open Basketball court were upgraded and all barangay roads are concreted. Improvement of side street drainages are also being undertaken by the Makati City Administration. With the MASA Tanods and Bantay Bayan on 24 hours duty, peace and order adequately maintained, City engineering crews regularly undertaking declogging of drainage and canals. Cleanliness and garbage collection properly attended to drug addiction vigilantly monitored and reduced to its bearest minimum.
