Etymology
According to an October 2020 infographic by Marvin Lopez, shared by the Parañaque City Public Library, Vitalez was named after the Vitalez Compound, which the barangay encompasses.[1] In the case Office of the City Mayor of Parañaque City, et al. v. Mario D. Ebio, et al. (G.R. No. 178411), it was claimed that a 406sp=usNaNsp=us parcel of land in the compound was originally owned by Jose Vitalez.[2]
History
The land where Vitalez is situated today was once part of Nichols Field, a United States military airfield located south of Manila. In 1957, the then-barrio of Tambo in Parañaque acquired that land, while majority of the airfield was transferred to Pasay.[3] Vitalez was created as an independent barangay on April 3, 1978, after then-President Ferdinand Marcos signed Presidential Decree No. 1327, detaching the Airlane Village, Baltao, Gat Mendoza, Jetlane Village, and Vitalez subdivisions from Tambo.[4]
