History
[edit]
The barangay was historically part of the historical barangay Bicutan,[citation needed] which would be split into barangays Central Bicutan, Lower Bicutan, New Lower Bicutan, Upper Bicutan, and Western Bicutan.
In 2008, two barangays were created out of Western Bicutan, namely: Fort Bonifacio and Pinagsama.[3]
