History

The name of the Pateros most likely came from its duck-raising industry. The Tagalog word (of Spanish origin) for duck is pato and pateros means duck-raisers. An equally viable theory, though less known is that the name also came from the town's small shoe-making industry. The Tagalog word for shoe is sapatos and shoe-makers are called sapateros. Tagálog is one of the major languages of the Republic of the Philippines. ...


Before 1770, Pateros was only a barrio of Pasig until the Spanish Governor-General in the Philippines issued a decree making Pateros an independent municipality. 1770 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia /**/ @import /skins-1. ...
