San Dionisio is the second largest barangay in Parañaque in terms of land area and the third largest in terms of population. It is often mistakenly referred to as Sucat being the location of SM City Sucat shopping mall on the former Sucat Road. This erroneous reference is also applied to the other barangays traversed by Sucat Road. Sucat, however, is a barangay of Muntinlupa located at the opposite end of Sucat Road by the South Luzon Expressway. As of the 2020 census, San Dionisio had a population of 72,522.[1]
