Post Proper Southside, also known as Post Proper South or Barangay 31, is one of the barangays of Taguig, a city in Metro Manila, Philippines. It was established in 1972 as a barangay under Makati, and its de facto territory consists of multiple enclaves within Palar Village of Barangay Pinagsama in Taguig.
As per Makati, its claimed territory consists of the southern tip of Bonifacio Global City and the Manila American Cemetery.[1] The area is largely under the de facto administration of neighboring city of Taguig, which claims the Fort Bonifacio area as its own territory.
In April 2023, the disputed barangays outside the BGC were placed under the de jure jurisdiction of Taguig, with an official transition and handover from Makati to Taguig expected to happen.[2][3] In October 2023, the Department of the Interior and Local Government issued a memorandum to order the transfer of the barangay, alongside Post Proper Northside and the Embo barangays, to Taguig.[4] However, the barangay government still considers itself as part of Makati.
Geography
The administrative division claims an area of 3.412 square kilometers (1.317 sq mi), once the largest barangay of Makati in terms of land area.[1] Now under the jurisdiction of Taguig, it overlaps with barangays Fort Bonifacio, Pinagsama, Ususan, Western Bicutan, Pembo and Rizal. It encompasses the Manila American Cemetery, Bonifacio Capital District (including McKinley Hill), portion of Fort Andres Bonifacio, the southern portion of Bonifacio Global City, Palar Village, Logcom Village, Aranai Village, and Bonifacio Heights. The exact boundary was unclear due to the boundary dispute between Makati and Taguig.[5]
Demographics
As per the 2020 census by the Philippine Statistics Authority, the barangay has a population of 63,308 which rendered Southside as the largest barangay in Makati in terms of population.[6]
