Barangay: Tambo
District: 1st
City: Parañaque

Barangay Tambo is one of the original barrios in Parañaque City.
It is named after a tall grass belonging to the bamboo family called "Tambo" that used to grow abundantly in the place.
It is collected and tied to a long handle to produce a broom locally called “walis tambo”.
Local folks started building houses and when it became densely populated not even a stalk of the tall grass remain.
