Taytay

Taytay is a municipality in Rizal province, Philippines, composed of several neighborhoods that stretch east of Metro Manila. Streets run in a network that links residential areas with commercial zones where workshops and vendor stalls stand side by side.

A pre-Spanish settlement stood at this site before Spanish missionaries arrived and established formal administration in 1578. The town gained its current legal status in the early 20th century during the American colonial period.

Locals call the town a garment capital, a name reflected in the marketplace streets where fabrics and finished clothing hang from stalls. Churches and parks often serve as meeting points where families gather after mass or on weekends.

Main roads like Ortigas Avenue Extension link the center to neighboring towns and ease travel toward Manila or eastward. Jeepneys and tricycles move through residential streets, providing short rides between neighborhoods.

The population here ranks among the highest of all Philippine municipalities that do not hold city status. Garment operations cluster mostly in one neighborhood that draws buyers from surrounding regions.
