Calzada, also known as Calzada-Tipas, is one of the 38 barangays of Taguig, Philippines.
Etymology
The barangay's original name is Calzada Tipas. The first part of the barangay's name, Calzada, comes from Spanish word for "road", symbolizing the thoroughfare that connects the old town center of Taguig with the neighboring towns of Pateros and Pasig. On the other hand, the second part, Tipas, comes from Tagalog words tinagpas or tiga-gapas, which means "to cut" or "to break", representing the traditional practice of farmers cutting through rice crops during harvest.{{cite web|url=https://www.theurbanroamer.com/tipas-tales/|title=Tipas tales worth telling|date=October 19, 2020|website=The Urban Roamer|accessdate=February 4, 2024}}
