Barangay Tamak is located in Padre Garcia, Batangas, Philippines.
Barangay Tamak was for many years a scattered collection of houses with only a trail for access. It is located between two rivers one of which was originally very muddy. This river provided Barangay Tamak with its current name. The first settlers were headed by the Cantos family. They dredged the mud from the river to get good drinking water and named the river Talmakan, meaning very muddy. As the mud was cleared the name of the river was shortened to Tamak and this became the name of the village and the later Barangay. A resolution was made by the few residents requesting they be registered as an independent barrio in 1947. Electricity arrived in 1985 and a paved road was constructed over the next few years. Since then the economic structure of Barangay Tamak has changed radically. Within a year of electrification the first sari-sari store owned by Conchita Rosales opened. By 2010 another seven stores were in operation. In 2003 the RRG Piggery Farm was established. At about the same time the Lindog Poultry and Piggery enterprise started operation as did Amelita’s poultry operation. In 2010, Briones internet café was opened and an organic fertilizer plant established. The big step forward was the opening of Bounty Fresh poultry processing facility in 2012. Bounty Fresh now has 169 employees and processes some 25,000 chickens a day. Demand for temporary housing surged and following the opening of Bounty Fresh four boarding houses opened. From a population of 50 or so persons, Barangay Tamak now has about 750 residents. From isolated, rural with only a few poorly educated people, within little more than a generation Barangay Tamak has become a thriving Barangay with its younger population striving to enter the modern world beyond its borders.
