In the late 19th century, the Americans replaced the Spanish as the colonial power. Under the American regime, Taguig was made an independent municipality before being incorporated into Rizal Province. In 1975, the municipality of Taguig was taken out of Rizal Province and added to Metro Manila. It was then given city status in 2004.
Taguig City is today highly urbanized. The Fort Bonifacio area has been redeveloped and branded Bonifacio Global City. It is the site of an increasing number of skyscrapers and shopping malls, among them Market! Market! Mall, which opened in 2003.
