Talisay, Cebu
Talisay, officially the City of Talisay (Cebuano: Dakbayan sa Talisay; Filipino: Lungsod ng Talisay), is a component city in the province of Cebu, Philippines. According to the 2024 census, it has a population of 263,832 people, making it the most populous component city in Visayas. The city is applying for a Highly Urbanized City (HUC) status.
The city's name is taken from the talisay tree which is abundant in the area.
Talisay was founded in 1648 as an estate owned by the Augustinians. In 1849, it was converted into a municipality with its first gobernadorcillo, Silverio Fernandez.[citation needed]
During both the American colonial period and World War II, Talisay served as a haven of colonial military forces. The municipality served as the center of guerrilla intelligence operations for the Philippine resistance movement in Cebu during World War II.[citation needed] The returning United States liberation forces landed on the beaches of Talisay on March 26, 1945. This was part of Operation Victor II which was implemented by General Douglas MacArthur in order to regain the islands of Cebu, Bohol, and Negros from the Japanese soldiers. With the joint efforts of the US forces, the Philippine Commonwealth forces, and the Cebuano guerrillas, Cebu was liberated on March 27, 1945, and the Japanese forces in the province eventually surrendered on August 29. To remember this victory and as an honor to the Cebuano veterans, Philippine Republic Act No. 7280 was enacted in 1992 which declared March 26 of every year a special non-working holiday in the municipality of Talisay, Cebu. Later in 2013, the law was expanded under Republic Act No. 10359, so that the holiday will be celebrated in the entire province of Cebu.
In 2000, the municipality of Talisay was converted into a city through Republic Act No. 8979. The municipality is now linked to Cebu City via the South Coastal Highway from Lawaan which was opened in 2004. This brought some recent inward investment in the form of subdivisions, but some were hastily planned, and thus were plagued by problems. Conflict occurred between the residents of the mountain barangay of Maghaway and those of Crown Asia's Azienda Milan and Venezia subdivisions.[citation needed]
Primarily a residential and trading center, Talisay lies within the Metro Cebu area. It is bordered to the north by Cebu City, to the west is the city of Toledo, to the east is the Cebu Strait, and to the south is the town of Minglanilla.
Talisay is 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) from Cebu City, the provincial capital.
Talisay is politically subdivided into 22 barangays. Each barangay consists of puroks and some have sitios.
