Post Proper Southside, also known as Post Proper South, Barangay 31, or simply Southside, is one of the 38 barangays of Taguig, Philippines. It is one of the ten Embo barangays, and one of the two Inner Fort Bonifacio barangays, the other one being the Post Proper Northside. It was established in 1972 as a barangay under Makati, and its de facto territory consists of multiple exclaves mostly within Palar Village of Barangay Pinagsama and settlements along the Consular Road area between McKinley West of the Bonifacio Capital District and Bonifacio Global City (BGC) in Barangay Fort Bonifacio, Taguig. It also has the Fort Andres Bonifacio military camp.

As per Makati, its claimed territory consists of the southern tip of Bonifacio Global City and the Manila American Cemetery.[1] Even before its jurisdiction was officially transferred to the City of Taguig, the area is largely under the city's de facto administration instead of Makati.

In April 2023, the disputed barangays outside the BGC were placed under the de jure jurisdiction of Taguig.[2][3] In October 2023, the Department of the Interior and Local Government issued a memorandum to order the transfer of the Embo barangays to Taguig.[4]
