## History

Barangay Ayala Alabang was created by Batas Pambansa Bilang 219 on March 25, 1982, initially named as **Barangay New Alabang Village**.[2] It was originally a part of [Barangay Alabang](/source/Alabang%2C_Muntinlupa) prior to the separation.

In compliance of Section 3 of Batas Pambansa Bilang 219, which provides that "the first barangay officials shall be appointed by the [President of the Philippines](/source/President_of_the_Philippines) and shall hold office until their successors shall have been elected or appointed and qualified", then-President [Ferdinand E. Marcos](/source/Ferdinand_E._Marcos) appointed [Enrique Zóbel de Ayala](/source/Enrique_Zobel) as the first Barangay Chairman, with Gumersindo Leuterio, Benito Araneta, Edgardo Gatchalián, Mario Torcuator, Jaime Matiás, and Íñigo Zóbel as the first seven *[Kagawad](/source/Sangguniang_Barangay)* (councilors). The first elected Barangay Chairman was Vicente Chua who was inducted in 1989, along with the elected *Kagawad*s Oscar Antiquera, Alfred Xerez-Burgos Jr., Francisco Umali, Wilma Pálafox, Rolando Pineda, and Ramón Fernández.[5]

The name was changed to **Barangay Ayala Alabang** in November 2003, after a public hearing conducted by the Muntinlupa City Government for this purpose, although New Alabang Village is still used as the barangay's alternative name. It was officially renamed by Republic Act No. 12281 in 2025, pending approval by a plebiscite.[3]

### Religion

The [Saint James the Great Parish Church](/source/Roman_Catholic_Diocese_of_Para%C3%B1aque), Vicariate of Our Lady of Abandoned, is located at Cuenca corner Ibaan Streets, Ayala Alabang Village, Ayala Alabang.[\[1\]](https://gcatholic.org/churches/asia-east/62269.htm) The baroque-style Spanish Colonial-era edifice was constructed in 1991 and finished in 1993. Its interior has a golden [retablo](/source/Retablo) with arched ceiling of square patterns towards the altar which has blue lighting. Its long aisle is lined with simple wooden pews and geometrically-designed tiles. The statues of the Virgin Mary and Jesus guard the church entrance.

## Government

Like all of the barangays in the Philippines, Ayala Alabang is headed by elected officials, the topmost being the *[Punong Barangay](/source/Punong_Barangay)* or the Barangay Chairperson (addressed as *Kapitan*; also known as the Barangay Captain). The *Kapitan* is aided by the *[Sangguniang Barangay](/source/Sangguniang_Barangay)* (Barangay Council) whose members, called *[Barangay Kagawad](/source/Barangay_Kagawad)* ("Councilors"), are also elected.

Don [Enrique Zobel](/source/Enrique_Zobel), the first [Barangay](/source/Barangay) Chairman, was appointed in 1981. Danilo Tolentino served from 1984 to 1987 and Mr. Anthony Abaya served from 1987 to 1989. Mr. Vicente Chua became the first elected barangay chairman in 1989, assuming together with Kagawads Oscar Antiquera (later a barangay chairman), Alfred Xerez-Burgos Jr., Ramon Fernandez, Wilma Palafox, Rolando Pineda, and Francisco Umali.[5] He was elected President of the Association of Barangay Council of Muntinlupa, and a sectoral representative in the then [Sangguniang Bayan](/source/Sangguniang_Bayan) of Muntinlupa, representing the Barangay sector from 1989 to 1997. Chua resigned in 1998.
