During the time of Apolinario Mabini, the small town of Pandacan was called “Little Venice,” because it was surrounded by clear-running estuaries coming from the Pasig River. Writers noted the breathtaking scenery of the town, full of “luxuriant flower and vegetable gardens, fertile rice and corn fields.” Pandacan’s signature plant, however, was the pandan, the abundance of which gave the area its earlier name, “Pandanan”—which Spaniards mispronounced into what we call it today: “Pandacan.”
