Taliptip is one of the 14 barangays of Bulakan, Bulacan in the Philippines. It is noted as the location of the former sitio of Pariahan.

A major part of the proposed New Manila International Airport will be located in the barangay.[1][2] The project necessitated the relocation of the residents in six affected sitios of the barangay – Bunotan, Camansi, Capol, Dapdap, Kinse, and Pariahan – with several residents opting to stay in other parts of the province while others choosing to return to their home provinces in different parts of Luzon and Visayas.[3][4]

Former sitios[]

Pariahan[]

Sitio Pariahan was an island community of more than a hundred families in Bulakan, Bulacan[5] who depended on fishing activity.[6] Considered as the largest sitio of Barangay Taliptip, it suffered land subsidence due to abusive use of groundwater,[6][7][8] and the resulting flow of the waters of Manila Bay displaced numerous residents.[7]

Permanent inundation was ensured after rains brought forth by Typhoons Mina (internationally Nanmadol) and Ompong (internationally Mangkhut).[5] As of 2018 only 36 families remained living in the submerged sitio, whose official status has not yet revoked, and where remnants of a chapel and a school are still visible protruding out of the floods.[5] Remaining houses are raised on stilts and residents use boats to get around the buildings.[9]

Bulakan municipal disaster risk reduction and management officer Rosario Mariano has expressed the urgency of permanent relocation for the residents of the sitio,[5] which is facing the threat of climate change.[7]
