History
of
Tagaytay
Legendarily, the word Tagaytay came from “TAGA” meaning
to cut and“ITAY” which means father. A father and son were
said to be on a wild boar chase when the animal they were
pursuing suddenly turned and attacked them. Fearing for his
father’s safety as a boar violently charged the old man, the son
cried out “TAGA, ITAY!” which means “cut him down,
father!” The son’s exhortation and shouts reverberated in the
valleys of the ridge and were heard by the residents, wood
gatherers, hunters and kaingeros in the forest. Thus the shout
and the words “Taga, Itay” became the subject of conversation
among the people in the countryside for several days. In time,
the place from where the shouts came began to be known as the
beautiful southern city of Tagaytay.
