Native languagesTagalog

Taysan, officially the Municipality of Taysan (Tagalog: Bayan ng Taysan), is a 2nd class municipality in the province of Batangas, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 40,146 people.[3]

Etymology

Taysan may have derived its name from the following Tagalog words:

  • Atisan, which means "a place where atis abound nearing Lobo."[5]
  • Tiis, which translates to "to bear with fortitude," as early natives experienced hardships during their entry and stay at the area due to its remote location accessible through many river crossings and dangerous trails, according to a folklore.[5] A traveler also shouted "Tiisan!" (Tagalog for endure) on the way to the area, sticking to it until it is called Taisan or Taysan.[6]

History

Taysan traces its origin to Mercedes, a barrio part of Rosario. It was later converted into a municipality known as Taysan, according to Manuel Sastron’s 1895 publication Batangas y Su Provincia.[6] Lobo was consolidated with it in 1903[7] but was merged with Rosario in the same year. Taysan was officially made an independent municipality in 1919.[8]

Geography

Taysan is located at 13°47′N 121°12′E / 13.78°N 121.2°E / 13.78; 121.2.

According to the Philippine Statistics Authority, the municipality has a land area of 93.62 square kilometers (36.15 sq mi) [9] constituting 3.00% of the 3,119.75-square-kilometer (1,204.54 sq mi) total area of Batangas.

Taysan is bordered on the north by Rosario and Ibaan, east by a portion of Rosario, west by Batangas City, and south by Lobo.
