Baesa

Philippines / Southern Tagalog / Niogan /
 village, barangay, fourth-level administrative division
Barangay: Baesa
District: 6th
City: Quezon

Barangay named Baesa was created in 1910 and was derived from a woman who was the first inhabitant of the place. This was once a forest with big trees and bamboos. According to history, in this forested place, there lives a woman who lived alone, which mean “Babaeng Nag-iisa” in Tagalog, which later on became “Baesa”.

As others relayed; there was once a Spaniard who can not speak Tagalog well. That instead of saying “Babaeng Nag-iisa”, he pronounced it “BA-ISA.” Until the present time, the place was called Baesa from its original word of "Ba-isa", except of its spelling which is “Baesa.”

Baesa was once a part of Novaliches, Caloocan, but when Quezon City was created, some of its parts were sliced to form part of Quezon City, including which is now Barangay Baesa. Until it was developed, and became the center of business entities. All the farms that were once tilled by the farmers were converted into subdivisions.
