Municipality of Tuy

Around 1900's Tuy was still part of the town of Balayan, the former capital of Batangas Province. She became an independent town only on August 12, 1866. The name TUY was given by Don Salvador Ellio in memory of his birthplace, Tuy Galicia, Spain.
As of 2011, some interesting facts may be spoken of about Tuy.
Its southern part had a deep ravine of which part had been filled and patched up and has since become a commercially viable vacant lot.
It has 3 streets that represent the Philippines' 3 national hero-priests called Gomburza, to stand for their names, Gomez, Burgos, and Zamora. The interesting fact may have been that Zamora Street has been renamed Calingasan Street, the latter name having been considered politically significant for the town, but rendering Gomburza incomplete, in the process.
Tuy may be considered as one of the few places where a gas station, though situated in one of its best street corners (Basa Street, Corner Detour-National Highway), has not been exploitative of its strategic location, but has been built, instead, as if it were just on an ordinary side street lot, thus blocking its covered street corner, and not allowing vehicles to cut corners for more convenient gassing up.
In the early 2000's, Tuy was unexpectedly put in the map of national news-worthiness, as a Batangas Province governorship candidate was slain in its town plaza, while he was campaigning.
Tuy's annual Kambingan (goats and their by products) Festival has not been its original festival, as the first one had been the Salagubang (a kind of root and leaf-eating beetle) Festival. The former's celebration, however, was discontinued and eventually so replaced due to obvious acceptability reasons.
Tuy's pronunciation continue to be a problem for uninitiated people.
Tuy is a town between 2 rivers. In the north, Tuy town proper's boundary is the Mataywanac/Salipit River, while in the south, the Tuy town proper's boundary is the Obispo River.
