The word “Tanduay” originated from the word “tang-uay”, an old Tagalog term for “peninsula”. The word also meant “low-lying land” because the entire area, including Quiapo, was frequently flooded during the rainy season. In the Cebuano and Visayan dialect, “tanguay” meant a place where tuba (palm wine) is bought and sold.
