Embo (sometimes stylized in all caps), which stands for Enlisted Men's Barrio, refers to a collective term for ten[3][4][5] barangays in Taguig, Philippines. The barangays were originally established to house military personnel of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). The area was formerly disputed between the cities of Makati and Taguig,[6] as well as the municipality of Pateros.[7] As of November 2023, the barangays were transferred from Makati to Taguig.[8][9]
