Formerly Moonwalk was an agricultural and salt-making town. Livelihood was derived from farming on its vast agricultural land and from fishing in its unpolluted river portion of Manila bay. Women folk too had their participation in family income through barong tagalong embroidery business which Parañaque has been noted for. It includes also sari-sari stores without paid employees.
Because of its proximity to the cities of Pasay and Manila as well as the city of Makati and the neighboring towns, Paranaque and its 16 barangay by itself go along with unprecedented growth on social, economic and infrastructure thereby at the year 1960, the once serene looking town was awakened to the tempo of rapid urbanization. Hence, as the saying goes “whenever there is progress, problems are attached to it”, on the part of the city, both coincide more on social economic and infrastructure concerns.
Considering all factors involved and with regard to the delivery of the basic services, the city down to the barangay level must work hand in hand to enhance people participation in whatever activity is done in the barangay.
