Juan de Salcedo to conquer all barangays around the lake of Ba-i, which is now called Laguna de Bay. Just like the settlement of Ba-i, Tabuko had large plain area and rich forestry and the climate was suited to farm crops. On January 16, 1571, it was announced by Governor General Miguel López de Legazpi that Tabuko be considered as encomienda or a town under Gaspar Ramirez.
