District: 6th
City: Quezon

The name “Pasong Tamo” was derived from the wild plants “Tamo” thickly growing along major paths cutting through and or from the eastern parts to the western exits of this area where Andres Bonifacio named the place.Originally part of the old Novaliches

The name dates back from the Spanish times. The barrio now barangay was formally established through Ordinance No. 4992 dated March 1, 1962. Legal boundaries were established during the incumbency of the late Mayor Norberto S. Amoranto in the presence of the neighboring Teniente Del Barrio who was called for a conference. During the first formal barrio officials’ tenure of office, the place was barely populated.

At present, big and posh villages have sprouted in Pasong Tamo. Its former dirtroads have now now been turned into wide and concrete streets and avenues. Notable among them are Tandang Sora Avenue, Congressional Avenue Extension and Visayas Avenue.
