Sitio

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A sitio in the Philippines is a territorial enclave that forms part of a barangay, the location of which may be distant from the center of the barangay itself.

During Spanish occupation, sitios were named to make a centralized government for municipalities through the barrio system now called barangay.
