Every 8th of December, Taguig celebrates its cityhood day.
Taguig Cityhood
In 1998, Republic Act No. 8487 was enacted, pushing for the cityhood of Taguig. The resulting plebiscite on April 25, 1998 showed that the citizens were against the cityhood. A recent petition to the Supreme Court sought a recount of the plebiscite and on February 19, 2004, the Supreme Court ordered the Commission on Elections to conduct a recount.
The recount results indicated majority support for Taguig's municipality to attain city status, with 21,105 "yes" and 19,460 "no" votes. Consequently, Taguig officially became a city on December 8, 2004. Taguig was the 14th city in Metro Manila.
