HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF BARANGAY USUSAN

Barangay Ususan is one of the original barrios comprising the town of

Taguig when it was founded as pueblo under the then renamed Morong
and lately Rizal, in memory of our National hero, Dr. Jose P. Rizal. At the
turn of the century in 1903, Pateros and Muntinlupa then became parts of
Taguig but were eventually established as independent towns.

When Metropolitan Manila was created, Taguig was integrated into it

together with 16 other cities and towns. Taguig is now a highly urbanized
city.

According to a legend handed down from generation to generation, slopes

of highlands, now known as Fort Bonifacio, surrounded a lowland which old
folks named Barrio Ususan, meaning “ sliding down ”. Also the ancestors of
Barangay Ususan retrieved the image of St. Ignatius of Loyola floating
along the river, which later became their Patron Saint. Barangay Ususan
became an independent parish, St. Ignatius of Loyola Parish on September
12, 1986.

Ususan is the first village coming from the north by the town of Pateros
across Taguig-Pateros River. Fort Bonifacio is situated in Barangay
Ususan but was acquired by the United States government and converted
it into a military camp named Fort Mc Kinley.

Ususan Elementary School rose from a donated 4,321.25 sq. meter lot located at Ususan, Taguig Rizal. It was June
25, 1931 when formal schooling in Grades I and II classes started in a make-shift schoolhouse constructed on the
said site. Miss Elpidia Carlos and Miss Ana Bunyi were the first mentors during those struggling days. Thereafter,
permanent building with two- standard classrooms were erected, housing primary classes only. The first principal
then was Elpidia C. Tanyag and through her initiative more classrooms were added from that period to 1963 to cater
the growing population.
The old building was later abolished and under the provincial board resolution 1077 during the administration of
Governor Isidro Rodriguez, Mayor Monico C. Tanyag, Mrs. Caridad P. Umali- Principal and Barrio Captain Daniel
Castillo. Rodriguez Building was constructed on February 5, 1969 and was finished on October 17, 1969. From that
day onwards, the same school building has been existing on the same area. However, other buildings were
constructed like the Carino Building, Multi-purpose building and Cayetano building replacing the old Antonio
building. Ususan Elementary School is fortunate enough to be the beneficiary of 3-classroom building donated by
Ayala Land Build a House Project constructed on November, 2003 and finished on June, 2004.

Another 3-storey building with 9 classrooms was erected on June 11, 2004 and was inaugurated June, 2005 through
the LOGO Find project funded by the World Bank. Throughout the years, Ususan Elementary School has been
headed by dedicated school heads in the persons of Mrs. Adoracion Capistrano, Mrs. Simeona Capco, Miss Melita
Lammatao, Mr. Bayani Z. Pili, Miss Lydia G. Pili, Mrs. Teresita M. de Jesus, Mrs. Flerida P. Silvestre, Mrs. Felisa
A. Vinuya and the present principal, Mrs. Josefina R. Granada.
