The Fruity Barangay
“A place where pineapple is grown”.
Barangay Pinyahan was originally part of Central District Diliman. It was divided into two separate entities which are Barangay Central and Pinyahan. Pinyahan was a popular place for cultivating pineapples since 1930s, thus the name of the Barangay. Some hospitals are located in this barangay including the Lung Center of the Philippines, National kidney and transplant Institute, Urology Center of the Philippines, and the Armed Forces of the Philippines Medical Center along V.luna avenue. Pinyahan Elementary School and Flora Ylagan Highschool are public schools that are located in the said barangay. The AFP Medical Service School is located within the Armed Forces of the Philippines Medical Center.
Every May 15, the barangay celebrates its fiesta.
