About Bagong Silang
Bagong Silang or Barangay 176 was a barangay in Caloocan, Metro Manila, Philippines that existed from 1971 until its division in 2024. Part of the city's Zone 15, it was known for being the most populous barangay in the Philippines, with a population of 261,729 according to the 2020 census, with a land area measuring 574 hectares (1,420 acres). Due to its large population, there were calls to divide it. Following a plebiscite on August 31, 2024, it was divided into six distinct barangays: 176-A, 176-B, 176-C, 176-D, 176-E, and 176-F, though the area is still informally referred to as Bagong Silang.

History
Bagong Silang occupied parts of land originally of Tala Estate, which is historically under the jurisdiction of the town of Novaliches before it was absorbed by Caloocan in 1903. The 808-hectare (2,000-acre) estate was reserved and acquired by the government in 1938 primarily for a leprosarium, which turned out to be the Central Luzon Sanitarium (now the Dr. Jose N. Rodriguez Memorial Hospital); however, only one-third of the land was used for such purpose. Due to advancements in medical science that no longer required the segregation of hansenites, the leprosarium needed lesser land, paving the way for housing and urban development and plans for a tree plantation to supply logs for low-cost housing in present-day Metro Manila, which was ultimately abandoned due to administrative issues under President Ferdinand Marcos.
Bagong Silang was established as a barrio during the term of President Ferdinand Marcos in 1971. The name of the barangay is a Tagalog phrase corresponding to the English word newborn, meant to signify renewed hope for its residents who were resettled from their original slum areas in Manila, Commonwealth in Quezon City, and San Juan. It was converted into a barangay in 1974, following the nationwide implementation of the Integrated Reorganization Plan (IRP) under Presidential Decree No. 557.
