“Sucat” originated from the word sukat, which means measurement. Before the establishment of the barangay during the Spanish era, the community was measured several times by the Posadas family. Don Juan Posadas was able to build a mansion called “Hacienda Rosario” and was able to acquire all the land he wanted to measure the community. The neighboring area comprises three (3) sections namely: Ibaba, Ilaya and Daang Hari. Sucat is geographically located on a flat higher plain along the edge of Laguna de Bay.
