Barangay: Phil-Am
District: 1st, Diliman
City: Quezon

Barangay Phil-Am was originally Phil-Am Life Homes, a first class residential subdivision at the corner of West Avenue and EDSA.

It was converted into a barangay during the term of the late President Ferdinand E. Marcos, in line with the creation of the New Society or the Bagong Lipunan. At the time it was converted into a barangay, it had a population of more or less 3,000, in about 600 homes, sprawled over an area of 54 hectares. A.D. Narciso was first appointed Barangay Captain by then Mayor Amoranto, and took his oath in an appropriate ceremony. He was then the President of Phil-Am Life Homeowners Association. Barangay Captain Narciso put up the barangay hall and the security headquarters without the use of any government funds.

He borrowed P27,000.00 from the Manila Banking Corporation and asked few civic-minded friends to lend him some money without interest. All of these borrowed money had been duly paid for with members’ contributions and assistance from the PHAI. Today Philam’s population is estimated at about 6,000.
