Lino Cayetano of Nacionalista Party (NP) is the incumbent mayor of the city of Taguig. He was proclaimed in the May 14, 2019 midterm elections with 172,710 votes against his closest rival Arnel Cerafica's (PDP-Laban) 108,050 votes. Mayor Lino is a television director and former barangay chairman of Fort Bonifacio in 2010 and member of the House of Representatives from the 2nd district of Taguig. He is the younger brother of the incumbent senator Pia Cayetano and the current Speaker of the House of Representative Alan Peter Cayetano, a former senator and secretary of the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA).

From the start, Taguig has its own chieftain, Lakan named Juan Basi who fought his life against the Spaniard along with Agustin de Legaspi, a nephew of Lakan Dula and son-in-law of the Sultan of Brunei during the Magat Salamat uprising in 1587–1588. But since the year 1584, a non-resident vicar from the Agustinian order named P. Melchor de Ribera was assigned to convert to Christianity the natives of the town.

In 1587 according to P. Gaspar San Agustin, Taguig was once again accepted in the list of "Agustinian Chapter" in a meeting held on April 4, 1587 through "Tomamos de nuevo la casa de Tagui, con voto".[1]

Encomienda de Tagui is under the administration of Capitan Vergara since 1587 with 3,200 population who pays tribute tax amounting to 1,879 & 1/2. The original Nine (9) villages of Taguig are Bagumbayan, Hagonoy, Uaua (Wawa), Bambang, Toctocan (Tuktukan), Ususan (Maysapang), Sta. Ana (Poblacion), Palingong, and Tipas.[2]
