Alabang ([alaˈbɐŋ]) 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 8.064 square kilometers (3.114 sq mi).[1] A large portion of Ayala Alabang came from Barangay Alabang.[2] It was the location of the Alabang Stock Farm.[3]
Etymology
[edit]
Alabang was formerly the cattle grazing pastures of the hacienda of the friars of Muntinlupa.[4] It is named after the Alabang River that passes through the area, labeled as "Rio de Alban" in the 1852 Coello-Morata Case Map.[5]
