PART I GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROVINCE

A. BRIEF HISTORY OF THE PROVINCE

One tradition says that Bulacan came from the word “bulak” or cotton. More than two hundred years before the coming of the Spanish conquistadores, Chinese merchants documented the planting of cotton plants in the province. Cotton fibers were woven into clothing materials by primitive looms. Another interpretation avers the name originates from “burak”, the clay for pottery found along the Calumpit river banks. Shards from several archaeological diggings reveal that pottery-making in Bulacan existed as far as the Neolithic Age.

Twelveth-century Chinese documents already marveled at the bounty with which nature blessed Bulacan. Early friar chroniclers of the Spanish periods were so enamored by the abundance of its flora that they described her as the “Garden of Luzon.”

A mountain range nurtures forest thick with hardwood. Rivers fertilize abundant fields famous for rice, sugarcane, melons, okra, bananas and papayas. The Bay of Manila meets her veins of rivers to produce brackish waters necessary for fishponds of milkfish and prawns, beds of oysters and crabs.

So much bounty, so many reasons for her sons and daughters to shed blood to preserve such beauty.

Bulacan is the only province in the Philippines that can lay claim to three republics. All born at a time when democracy was still unknown in Asia. Foremost was the brief but valiant stand of the Real Kakarong de Sili of Pandi in 1897. It was Bulacan’s first real threat against Spanish might. A war of nerves led by the mystic Maestrong Sebio.

Biak-na-Bato in San Miguel mountains sheltered a republic that merged Aguinaldo’s fleeing forces with Bulacan’s Katipuneros. General Gregorio del Pilar, barely out of his teens, led his brave army in several brilliant skirmishes. Fired by the patriotism of the great propagandist – Marcelo H. del Pilar.

The third is the province’s principal glory – the Malolos Republic. In 1998, enlightened representatives from all over the islands converged in Malolos to formally inaugurate a Republic. A congress wrote and ratified a constitution that was the first declaration of freedom ever in Asia.

The Malolos Republic then was the culmination of a long struggle for the right to be free from Dutch pirates, British invaders, Spanish and American economic warriors and from any yoke of slavery.

The existence of Bulacan as a province since 1572 was reaffirmed by virtue of Act No. 2711 enacted on March 10, 1917 with the seat of government established in Malolos.

Table 1.1 shows the list of governors of Bulacan and the year of their administration

B.. PHYSIICAL CHARACTERIISTIICS OF THE PROVIINCE

1. Geography

The province of Bulacan is situated at the southernnpart of Luzon, which is generally known as the Central Plain of Luzon or Region III. It is bounded by the provinces of Aurora and Quezon on the east, Metropolitan Manila and Rizal on the south and southeast, Nueva Ecija on the north and Pampanga and and Manila and Rizal on the south and southeast, Nueva Ecija on the north and Pampanga and Manila Bay on the west and southwest. (see Figure 1.1) . In terms of its geographic location, the province lies 14 degrees 40 minutes and 15 degrees 18 minutes north latitude and 120 degrees 37 minutes abd 121 degrees 25 minutes east lontitudes. Theprovince gas a total of five congressional distric ts with 22 municipalities and 2 component cities and an aggregate of 569 barangays. (see Tables 1.2 & 1.3 and Figure 1.2).

2. Topography

The topography of Bulacan is generally flat on the western side wghile on the eastern side are uplands that gradually increase in altitude and serve as foothills of the Sierra Madrem a major mountain range in the country and the Cordillera.

Owing ti its physical feature, the province has three identifiable geographical areas, namely: the coastal areas of Hagonoy, Malolos, Paombong, Obando and Bulacan, the flatlands or central section which is composed of Balagtas, Baliuagm Bocaue, Bustos, Calumpit, Guiguinto, Marilao, Meycauayabn, Pandi, Plaridel, Pulilan and Sta. Maria and the upland areas of Angat, Dona Remedios Trinidad, Norzagaray, San Ildefonso, San Miguel, San Jose del Monte and San Rafael.

3. Land Resources

The prroviince coverrs a lland arrea off 262,,500 hecttarres,, 35..54% orr 93,,297..97 hecttarres off whiich bellong tto tthe muniiciipalliitty off Dona Remediios Trriiniidad,, San Miiguell occupiies tthe second llarrgestt arrea wiitth 20,,865..5 hecttarres orr 7..95% whiille Obando has tthe lleastt wiitth 1..458 hecttarres orr 0..56%..

The size of bulacan is approximately 14% of the region’s total land area and about 0.88% of the country’s total land area (see Table 1.5).

Bulacan’s soil types vary from the fine sandy loam type, abounding in the southeastern portion to the silt loam type found in the northern part of the province.

4. Climate

Like most provinces of Luzon, the climate in Bulacan consists of two seasons: the wet and the dry. The wet season starts around May and ends towards November. The rest of the year is dry with occasional rains, more or less evenly dispersed throughout the area (see Table 1.6) The province experiences a cool weather from December to February and hot and humid the rest of the year. This type of climate has proved ideal for the growing of all types of food and plant crops.

5. Water Resources

Bulacan province is fortunate for having streams and several large rivers providing water and hydroelectric power. Considered to be major ones are the Ipo and the Angat Rivers which are big enough to provide economic opportunieies to the province. The Angat Dam serves a greater portion of the water supply needs of Metro Manila and Cavite City through the MWSS. In 1988, a Memorandum of Agreement was signed by the MWSS and the province of Bulacan, which includes the towns of Meycauayan and Obando on the MWSS, service area.

Fresh water coming from inland rivers diverges into several tributaries before flowing into the Manila Bay (see Figure 1.3).

6. Mineral Resources

Non-metallic minerals such as clay ore, construction materials ore, gypsum ore, silica rock form ore, guano ore, and rock phosphate abound in Bulacan. These deposits are found in the mountainous areas of Angat, Norzagaray and San Ildefonso. The only known metallic deposit in the province is iron ore found in the Municipality of San Miguel. The province also has rich cement materials, which are presently mined, by cement factories operating in the province. Marble ore reserves are also of commercial quantity. Salt from seawater is processed in the coastal areas of Bulacan, Hagonoy, Malolos, Obando and Paombong.

C. Demography

The province of Bulacan is considered as the most populated province in Central Luzon. In 2000, Bulacan has a total population of 2,234,088 as compared to its 1995 figure of 1,784,441 or an increase of 449,647 in five years. The continuous increase in the province’s population my not only be attributed to natural but also to the influx of migrants from various points of origin.

In 2000, the province had a average of 850 persons per square kilometers. This is 25 percent higher than 1995 figure of 679.79 ppskm. Two factors have contributed to the increasing pressure of development in the province, namely; its proximity to Metro Manila and secondly, its being a major urban center.

Aquaculture and Meat Products

The aquaculture resources of Bulacan, aside from its fishponds, rivers and ributaries,t include Bustos-Angat Dam and water-logged areas. It has a total of almost 888 hectares of freshwater fishponds and 15,059 hectares of brackish water fishponds. Major species cultured include tilapia, bangus (milkfish), prawn and catfish. Of the total aquaculture production which is 53,515 MT, bangus contributed 38,799 (762%) followed by tilapia with 8,549 MT (16%) . This made Bulacan a leading province in Bangus production based on reports of the Bureau of Agricultural Statistics. (see table 2.13)

The province also has consistenly been a major producer of meat products specifically pork and chicken. It has the biggest hog propulation in the country and supplies 60% of the pork requirement of Metro Manila. Statistics indicate that Bulacan’s pork production is more than sufficient for local consumption that it can afford to move the products outside the province to other markets. Broiler production is a major economic activity in the province. (see table 2.17)

Jewelry

Jewelry-making has been an old-age in the Philippines. There are six areas in the country where majority of jewelry manufacturing firms are located and these are Benguet. Metro Manila, Cebu Davao, the Caraga Region and Bulacan. The jewelry industry in the Philippines is a fragmented one composed of cottage-type small firms with little investments in new technology like modern tools and equipment.

In Bulacan, jewelry making is concentrated in the municipality of Meycauayan. These are about 122 jewelry manufacturers in the province. A local association, the Meycauayan Jewelry Industry Asswociation, Inc. (MJIA), was formed in 1985 to oversee and assume lead role in the development of the jewelry industry in the province.

Leathercraft

The leather crafting business in Bulacan shows particular promise for a line of bags and small leather accessory items. Waste leather scraps from the export assembly manufacturers in the free trade zones have given rise to the production of ingeniously fashioned new items by local tailors.

Furniture

Bulacan is home to some 284 furniture manufacturers producing a wide range of world-class furniture. Caterin to both foreign and domestic markets, they manufacture simple, classic, and reproduction furniture made of wood, rattan, metal and mixnor these materials. Their manpower are highly-skilled in fine and elaborate wood carvings, stone parquet, and carabao bone in-laid furniture.

At present, Bulacan exports fine furniture primarily to Europe, Middle East, Korea, Taiwan, Mexico and US territories.

Marbleized Limestone and Limestone Products

Marble is a metamorphosed limestone found in thick and extensive beds in many localities. Some deposits are composed entirely of silica and silicate materials, iron oxide, sulfide minerals, and orgnic materials. When pure, marble is white in color but it may show a wide range of colors due to various impurities that I contains; iron oxide may impart colors of tan, red or brown. Carbonaceous matter cause a gray to black color.

Out of the 17 provinces where marble found, active quarry operations has centered primarily in Bulacan for the past 25 years. About 70% of marble blocks used as raw materials by industrial marble exportes in the Philippines came mainly in Bulacan particularly San Ildefonso, DRT, Sn Rafael, San Miguel and Norzagaray. These areas were knowns to be good sources of deposits withncolors as tea Rose and Capistrano Beige.

Pyrotechnics

Bulacan is noted as a leading manufacturer of pyrotechnics in the Philippines. In 2003, about 259 manufacturers are producing pyrotechnic products, particularly concentrated in the areas of Bocaue and Sta. Maria.

Manufacturers and dealers grew rapidly in Bulacan because of high profits generated. It is important to note that the number of players in the industry vary with the season that usually dictates market conditions. Demand for pyrotechnics is closely related to the general economic health of the country. On the average, May and December are the peak months because of fiestas, Christmas and New Year’s eve celebrations. It was observed that high economic growths result to higher demands for pyrotechnics during these months.

Gaments

Garment is one of Bulacan’s major industries with over 800 garment manufacturer engaged in direct export and sub- contracting work.

Its principal products range from children and infant wear, knitted shirts and blouses, trousers, shorts, athletic and swim wear. Its highly-skilled labor force excels in embroidery., hardiwork and smocking and competent workers knowldegeavle in printing and dyeing, kinitting and finishing.

Sweets and Delicacies

Sweets and delicacies have long been famed products of Bulacan. These generated income opportunities to many Bulakenyos knowing that this type of industry can be easily manufactured even at home.

Among the well-known manufactured sweet goods in the province are pastilles de leche, pastilles de ube, macapuno/ube balls, minasa, inipit, ensaymada, cassava/rice cakes, puto, kalamay, suman and among others.

They are prominent because of the extraordinary ingredients used and procedures done to achieve a flavor that one will continually look for once tasted. This unique quality of Bulacan sweets has made them favorite “pasalubong” to loved ones.

HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES

A. Health

There are sevem (7) government hospitals, 67 licensed private hospitals, 57 Rural Health Units and 554 Barangay Health Stations in the province that ensure quality health care for the Bulakenyos. (see tables 3,1m 3.2 and 3.3)

All government hospitals in Bulacanr ecorded raltively high occupancy rate (see Table 3.5) except for the Bulacan Maternity and Children’s Hospital which had the lower occupancy rate of 68.44%. Beginning 2002, this hospital was classified as maternity hospital and has served as a satellite hospital to the Bulacan to the Provincial Hospital. The trend in occupancy rate from year 2002 to 2003 may be attributed to the following interventions accomplished by the provincial health system.

1. The formulation of the Strategc Health Plan and Opeational Health Plan ensured synchronization and complementation of the LGUs health services. Thus, RHUs were empowered to perform primary health care. Oyt of 57 RHUs in Bulacan, 93% are “Sengtrong Sigla” Cerfified, not to mention certified Barangay Health Stations tolaling to 16%.

2. Diseases prevention program was conducted thru dengue awaremess clen=up drive that ensured health, safety amd sanitation provincewide.

3. Massive health education and information campaign was conducted related to helah lifestyle, proper nutrition, and disease prevention.

4. Presence of competent medical pool in the province. Patients were given treatment even in the out-patient department.

5. The introduction of home-based treatment has reduced the admittance of patients.

6. The strengthened Unified Local Health System in the province reduced primary and secondary cases in tertiary hospitals.

Theincrease in occupancy rate in RMMMH, however, was due to the high increase in population within the catchment area. The bulk of in-migrants in the fourth district largely contributed to this increase.

Trends, FP Current Users 1998-2003

The most common reason on the low coverage on Family Planning Current Users was health cpncerns, which refer to their worries about the possibility of conswuences of the method that affect their health. This was followed by reasons of actual experience of side effects and wanting children. The other reasons were infrequent sex, dislike of husband to use any method, inconvenience, close to menopausal period, and not sexually active. The lack of knowledge about family planning is another reason. Now, after adequate IEC by the health personnel, coverage has become relatively consistent since 1996. In this year, there was a decrease in coverage compared to previous years.

Appendices Appendix B – History of 22 Municipalities and 2 Cities History of Angat

AN G AT

Little was known about the state of affairs and contact of inhabitants of Angat during the pre-Spanish regime. The only available data at that time was that Angat was a tributary of the town of Quingwa (Plaridel). This fact was due most probably to the situation of the Angat River, which directly connects the town of Quingwa, a community then located in the center of vast lands, covering plains and mountains alike.

There had been so many stories on how the town got its name, but he legend nearest to the truth is that Angat got its name after the Tagalog word angat, meaning a high piece of land or a community living in a promontory during the Spanish regime.

At the arrival of the Spaniards, the people as a whole were at first hostile to the conquerors, but after the complete Christianization of the community, Spaniards gradually befriended the inhabitants. The whole town, however, embraced the Catholic faith, more by force than by conviction. Forced labor was imposed principally on the construction of public edifices, like the church and the Presidencia.

As a town, nevertheless, the conquerors and the natives formally organized Angat mutually. Formerly, a tributary of Quingwa, it later became a part of San Miguel then was made under the town of Bocaue upon the administration of the vast Sta. Maria de Pandi Estate by the lands were part of the Hacienda. At that time, when Angat was under the administration of Bocaue, Norzagaray was only a part of Angat.

Today, still stands and legible the inscription at the façade of her church which reads: “MDCCXII” indicating that the town was connected into a regular municipality in said year.

The towns of San Rafael and Bustos bound the town of Angat on the North; on the East by the vast Sierra Madre mountain ranges, to its south by the towns of Norzagaray and Sta. Maria and on the West by the big Sta. Maria de Pandi Estate.

The people of Angat are mostly devout Catholics who are god-fearing in all sense. In the middle of the two stands of the historic church where every Sunday and Holiday, people gathered and prayed together. In their prayers they never forget to beg for intercession of the blessed Sta. Monica whom they looked upon as a counselor and spiritual guide. Nowadays, they still revere Sta. Monica as their ever-loving patron saint.

The town of Angat is a hilly and mountainous place blessed with rich mineral resources a veritable hidden wealth waiting to be tapped. If this could be harnessed, the town could well dwell in richness. Also her wealth lies in her people striving to make Angat town to reckon with.

Appendices Appendix B – History of 22 Municipalities and 2 Cities History of Balagtas

B AL AG T AS

Thirty kilometers North of Manila is the town of Balagtas (formerly Bigaa), which has nine barrios. The town is shaped like a pentagon, bounded by four towns; on the South by Bocaue, on the Month by Plaridel on the East by Pandi, on the West by the towns of Bulacan and Guiguinto. The McArthur Highway bisects the municipality of Balagtas as this national road cuts northward to the Ilocos region. At the southern approach of the town from Manila is a modern, first class concrete bridge that crosses the Balagtas River. The river, navigable by banca and motor boats, empties into Manila bay after snaking through the town of Bulacan to the West which provides Balagtas’ townsfolk with fish, shrimp, and other fresh water food.

At the foot of the bridge, along the highway towards the North, is the town hall. In front of the town hall is spacious park where the monument of it hero, Francisco Balagtas, fondly known as Balagtas, is located. (Balagtas as acclaimed as the father of Tagalog poetry).

Surrounding the town hall are Spanish colonial-type houses that vividly show the influence of the former invaders.

Two hundred meters from the municipal hall is the famous and historical barrio in Panginay, the birthplace of Francisco “Balagtas” Baltazar, the town’s most prominent son and from whom the town got is name. For whom also “Balagtasan”, a form of debate in versified Tagalog, was named. In reverence to the hero’s deeds, the official name of Bigaa was changed Balagtas through the legislative act sponsored by the late Congressman, Teodulo Natividad.

In 1946, the Historical Society of the Philippines placed a market at the birthplace of Balagtas, which reads: “Here in Barrio Panginay, Bigaa, Bulacan, Francisco Baltazar (Balagtas) was born on April 2, 1788. Son of Juan Baltazar and Juana dela Cruz, he is the father of Tagalog dialect and the author of the deathless “Florante at Laura”. Jose Burgos, Jose Rizal, Mariano Ponce, Macario Adriatico, Epifanio Delos Santos, Rafael Palma and other illustrious sons of the nation recognize and honor Francisco “Balagtas” Baltazar. He died in Udyong, Bataan on February 20, 1862.”

Despites its proximity to Manila, Bigaa did not become a town until the later part of the 18th century. During the Philippine revolution, barrio Kakarong, then part of Bigaa (now apart of Pandi), was the scene of many bitter encounter between the “insurrectos” and the “Guardia civiles”. Many people died, further decimating the town, which has suffered from a cholera epidemic and nearly wiped out the population 20 years before. When the Americans established civil government in 1902, Bigaa and nearby Bocaue were combined to form a town with the latter as the seat government. In 1911, however, Bigaa was separated from Bocaue, and to it was added the town of Pandi, which became one of Bigaa’s barrios. In 1946, shortly after the Philippines gained political freedom from the United States, Pandi by virtue of a legislative fiat was given a municipal charter of its own, distinct and apart from Bigaa.

Before the coming of the Spaniards in 1521, Baliuag was just a wilderness inhabited mostly by animals and wild birds. There were no good and passable roads but only meandering pathways that invariable led to isolate huts. Some of these narrow pathways called “paraan”, were fringed on both sides along with trees and other greenery’s. Work animals and sleds that were then the only means of land transportation commonly passed the place.

The handful of people who occupied the isolated and lonely huts was paganistic people who worship spirits called “Bathala”. They believed the spirits dwell in caves so in these caves they held rituals and made offerings of foods, perfumes and fruits to pay homage to them. These ancient Filipinos were so steeped in superstition that they religiously believed in divination, auguries and magic harms. Thus they always attached significance to such natural activities as the howling of dogs, the kissing of lizards or the mere sight of a black cat darting across their path to mean bad things and death omen. These superstitious beliefs were handed down from one generation to another and, are, in truth, still practiced in many parts of Baliuag today.

The natives, of course, had their own language and social customs. Not unlike their contemporaries in other towns, they conducted their own commercial activities through the so-called barter system.

With the Christianization of the Philippines, the Spaniairds built many Catholic churches. One of these churches was established in Quingwa (now Plaridel), of which Baliuag was still a “cabecerria” or barangay with no definite name. (Cabecerria or barangay is the modern-day barrio).

Because they had no other decent means transportation, the people either had to walk or had to ride a banca all the way to Quinwa, a distance of nine kilometers to hear masses on Sundays and feast days. As a consequence, the churchgoers from Baliuag often came late for mass. This habitual tardiness eventually became the butt of jokes among the people of Quinwa, so much so that whenever they saw a group of Baliuag folk coming, they would mockingly say; “Eto na ang maliliwag”. (Here come the slow-folks). Or, if the later comer was all alone, “Eto na si Ba Liwag”. (“Ba” is a provincial title of respect for a man).

Unfortunately, for the local folk, the uncomplimentary term “maliwag” (or Baliwag) stuck like glue. Even the Spanish “cura” was announcing it from the pulpit in reference to them. Through the years the name Baliuag evolved from it and by this name or appellation the town became known.

Baliuag was the 10th town founded by the Augustinians in the province of Bulacan.

B O C AU E

Just like any other towns in the province of Bulacan, the town got its name from a tree called “Bukawe” found in abundance during that time in the said place.

Bocaue was just a mere barrio of the town of Meycauayan until 1606 when it was made into a town with Reverend Padre Delos Santos as the first parish priest and administrator.

Fire destroyed a large part of the town in 1818, but was later rehabilitated gradually during the American regime.

In 1908-1910, some members of the municipal council headed by Guillermo Puatu unsuccessfully tried to change the name of this town to Balagtas in honor of the Tagalog poet. Francisco “Balagtas” Baltazar. (Bigaa, being the birthplace of the hero merited the name of Balagtas in 1966).

The history of Bocaue is not complete without citing the legend of the Holy Cross of Wawa which has a great significance to the residents of this town as to its founding. The celebration of the feast in honor of the Holy Cross has been made a tradition and a yearly affair.

The legend says those centuries ago, a woman was saved miraculously fro drowning by an image of the big wooden cross floating along the flooded river in barrio Wawa this town.

The woman, the story goes, was about to sink when she caught a glimpse of the image of the cross. She tried to take hold of it but it moved farther. The woman followed the image until she clung to it and then was able to reach safely the riverbank.

Every year, every 1st Sunday of July, the residents of Bocaue greeted the visitors with the traditional river festival in honor of the said Holy Cross.

Today, Bocaue is thriving with cottage industries and many factories billow with smoke. Once, some foreigners visited this place, and they found out that every home is virtually a busy place. Each home turns out goods and many other products, which contribute greatly to the economy of the town.

Religious and industrious, the Bocaue people always look up to the great promise of the future.

The name “Bulakan” was derived from the Tagalog word “bulak” which is cotton in English. When the Spaniards first came to the country’s shore, they found cotton, among others, growing abundantly in many places in Luzon, particularly in Bulakan.

Prior to the arrival of the Spaniards, Bulakan, as well as the rest of the towns of Bulacan province, was consisted of small scattered settlements of villages each then called “barangay”, a word derived from the name of the boats used by the early seafaring Malays who went to various islands of what we now called Philippines. These predecessors of our ancestors settled in different parts of the archipelago, and their villages and barangays swere each headed by a petty chieftain who bore the title “Gat” as is Gat-Maytan, Gat-Salian, and “Gat-Dula”, and “Lakan” as in Lakandula. These early settlers lived along the seashores and rivers, thus they were called “taga-ilog”, meaning people who dwell near the rivers or other waterways. From this term “taga-ilog” came the word “Tagalog”.

The early Tagalog were peaceful, honest, industrious and hardworking and were engaged in farming, fishing and handicrafts, especially weaving.

From the original thriving native settlements or villages called “barangays”, the Augustinian founded most of the towns in the province of Bulacan, including the town of Bulakan which was founded in 1572 and one of the 385 towns founded by the Augustinians throughout the Philippines. Another account of the founding of Bulakan town points to Father Agustin de Alburquerque, O.S.A., as the first minister and founder of Bulakan.

By the year 1591, the town of Bulacan had 1,000 tributes or 4,800 persons; one Augustinian convent and one “alcalde mayor” who had jurisdiction over the towns of Malolos (became independent in 1673), Caluya—now Balagtas and formerly Bigaa (separated in 1596), Guiguinto (which became a separate town in 1841) and Meycauayan. The parish priest was under the jurisdiction of the diocese of Manila.

The town of Bulacan, being the first capital of the province, was the hub of economic activities and the inhabitants enjoyed excellent trade with Manila, primarily due to its proximity to the city and accessibility through its wide and navigable river.

Bulakan was also the scene of battle between the Spaniards led by Simon de Anda y Salazar and the British on January 18, 1763. The British sent an expedition of 400 Britishers, 300 Malabar Negroes and 2,000 Chinese allies. The Spaniards with the natives of Bulacan made a gallant stand but were defeated.

The town still enjoys trade and commerce with the neighboring towns and Manila with whom she shares a coastline, a place that is replete with historical and glorious past.

Bustos was politically and religiously a part of Baliuag before. Later it became a separate parish after a tragic incident, which led to the giving of the name “Bustos”.

It was rainy season sometime in1862 when the Spanish curate in Baliuag set aside one Sunday for the baptism of babies from Bustos. The people of Bustos prepared for that occasion but rain continued ot pour in torrents until that Sunday. The parents, together with the babies and godparents to be, rode on a “Placenta” which was boats joined together with bamboo flooring extensions amidst the overflowing river. The big ropes pulled by two men, one on each bank of the river, guided it. Unfortunately, on that day, the wind blew hard, more heavy rains fell and the current became stronger so much so that the two men guiding the vessel lost control of it. Big waves hit the “Placenta” and it capsized, leading its passenger to their inevitable fate. Only few who knew how to swim were able to reach the bank of the river and the rest drowned.

The town people never forgot that tragic incident so they worked hard for a church, which they could call their own. High government officials and civic leaders of the community sent resolutions to the Spanish authorities clamoring for their right to be independent from Baliuag. In the year 1867, Bustos was declared an independent municipality thru the painstaking efforts and sacrifices of its inhabitants.

In memory of the babies accidentally drowned on their way to their baptism, the town people unanimously chose the Holy Child as their Patron Saint of Bustos.

The year 1899 marked the beginning of the American period, Bustos again became a part of Baliuag. Bustos people were lovers of freedom so through the untiring efforts of civic spirited citizens, Bustos again was separated from Baliuag and became a distinct municipality on January 1, 1917. It was originally classified as a 4th class municipality due to its small income. But due to an uphill fight towards progress, it was later classified as a 3rd class municipality.

Calumpit was already an established “barangay” even before the coming of the Spaniards. It was under the leadership of Gat-Maitim. Agriculture was the main source of livelihood of the people and even today it is part of the town’s lifeblood. Calumpit at that time was the center of trade and barter among its neighboring barangays. The Pampanga and the Quingwa rivers served as the arteries through which the goods coming in and out of Calumpit passed. This was a factor why Calumpit became a progressive place during that period. The said rivers at present, still serve as arteries for trade and commerce in Calumpit.

Calumpit was derived from the name of the hardwood trees called Calumpit, found abundantly growing in front of the Calumpit Catholic Church. The hardwood was widely used and from then on it was adopted as the town’s official name.

The defeat of Rajah Soliman at the battle of Bangkusay Channel paved the way for the Spaniards to establish their government in Manila. News reached the Spanish authority that there was a progressive community located several miles north of Manila. Through the order of Fray Martin de Rada, he sent a group of Augustinian missionaries headed by Father Diego Vivar Ordones to look for the said place. In 1572, they first set foot at that place. Armed with a cross, they Christianized the place and established the church and government simultaneously that same year.

It was only in 1575 however; the King of Spain officially recognized That Calumpit. It was the first established town in the province of Bulacan and the fourth in the island. The Augustinian friars were the first Christian pastors of Calumpit and acted in some capacity as government officials. This continued for almost a century. In 1672, the first civil government was established with Marcos de Arce as the first Alcalde Mayor of Calumpit.

Like any other inhabitants of the province, the Calumpit people are religious, hospitable and industrious. Dwelling places thrive along the riverbanks. Its neighboring places are Apalit and Candaba towns in Pampanga and Hagonoy, Pulilan and Malolos in Bulacan.

The municipality of Dona Remedios Trinidad, province of Bulacan was created on September 13, 1977 under Presidential Decree 1196, in honor of the late mother of then First Lady, Imelda Romualdez Marcos, who was a pure Bulakeña.

The largest in Bulacan, it is partially embracing two major portions of the Angat Watershed reservation. Bulacan forest reserve, Biak-na-Bato National Park and 32,730.13 hectares of alienable and disposable public land.

The new municipality covers seven barangays, originally part of Angat, Norzagaray, and San Miguel. These are Pulong Sampaloc and Camachile of Angat; Bayabas and Kabayunan of Norzagaray; Talbac, Camachin and Kalawakan of San Miguel.

Guiguinto began as a barrio of Bulacan town, the former provincial capital of Bulacan. It is said that Spaniards set up an army post in the barrio to serve as a resting place for forces gong to Northern Luzon. In those days, travel throughout Guiguinto was difficult and slow down to cross single file over a narrow bamboo bridge. Their Filipino guides would cry out, “Hinto” (stop). The Spaniards thought this was the name “Hihinto”. The Spaniards substituted “Gui” (with hard “g”) for the Tagalog “Hi”. The place has since been called Guiguinto. On the other hand, old timers say that on moonlight nights, a golden bull emerges from the church and goes down to the nearby river to quench his thirst. It then returns to the church, ascends at the altar and disappears. The elders’ aid that there are buried jars of gold in town, as indicated by the bull, and that is why the town was called Guiguinto.

In 1800, a Spanish priest erected a small chapel in what is now barrio Sta. Rita. In 1873, roads were constructed in barrio Malis. The people barrios of Pritil, Tabe, and Kutkut even those days were mostly farmers. During Holy Week, villagers of barrio Tuktukan held contest for the hardest egg shells (chicken, duck or goose by knocking eggs together (Tuktukan)). The women tried to help each other in singing the “Panica”.

Just before the outbreak of he revolution of 1896, the town people of Guiguinto were ordered to sleep in the town at night and to work in their fields only in the day. This was said to have been suggested by the town priest to the authorities because of rumors that many of the town people were joining the secret revolutionary society, the Katipunan. Guiguinto eventually contributed many soldiers to the 1890 revolution.

Guiguinto became a municipality in 1915, with Antonio Figueroa as its first “municipal president”. The town’s population was then about 4,000. The 1960 census placed Guiguinto’s population at 10,629. Guiguinto is bounded on the East by the town of Balagtas, on the west by Malolos, on the North by Plaridel, and on the South by Bulacan.

In the beginning, Hagonoy was just a part of Calumpit. Founded in 1771, although according to records and old folks, there were already inhabitants in some places of this town prior to 1771. These places were Tibaguin and Pugad, coastal barrios sharing coastline with the city of Manila and Tampok.

The town was then and still at present abundantly with Hagonoy plants nipa, aroma and many other tropical plants. Hagonoy leaves are considered medicinal and can be used as food ingredients. It thrived during that time along seashores.

Because of the medicinal value of the plant, the news of its effectiveness spread leading the people to call the place “Hagonoy”.

Hagonoy was already a thriving community even before the “blood compact” between Spain’s Lagaspi and Philippines’ Sikatuna in 1571. Magat Salamat, a hero in his own right, headed the town. He was descendant of today’s Salamat families who are now living in different barrios of this town.

Hagonoy shares its boundary with the towns of Calumpit and Paombong in Bulacan and Masantol in Pampanga province. It is basically a fishing town with the Manila bay areas as its fishing ground, which extends up to the provinces of Cavite, Pampanga and Bataan.

Two fish ports, one in barrio San Pascual and the other at the Poblacion, are the busiest spots in the town. The coastal barrios are virtually “sleepless places” as fishermen go out to the sea at night for hours and even days while their loving wives, children and relatives wait for them. Upon their return, their catch is immediately sorted out and then sold at the public market here. Their catch is also marketed in nearby towns and Metro Manila.

The people of Hagonoy are known to be very hospitable. Visitors’ to this place could attest to this especially during fiestas. They are treated with smiles by their hosts as they feast on sumptuous foods, especially prepared.

Yearly fiestas are held in this town to honor their patron saints. Many people of this town hold fiesta observance sacred. They are deeply attached to religion and are faithful to Christian life. Their religiousness is typically shown by the names of their barrios. Of the 26 barrios of this town, 19 were named after saints.

No other towns in the Philippines can be linked to the great patriots and heroes in the country’s history more than – Malolos – capital of the short-lived Philippine Republic. Such name as General Emilio Aguinaldo, Pedro A. Paterno, Dr. Jose P. Rizal and the del Pilars- Marcelo, Pio, and Gregorio, Apolinario Mabini, Antonio Luna, Felipe Calderon, and a host of others are forever engraved in the annals of Philippine History.

The name of Malolos was presumably derived from the Tagalog word “Paluslos”, meaning “ downwards”. The name resulted from a misunderstanding among the first Spanish missionaries who reached the place. Searching for inhabited places along the Calumpit River, these priests came upon some natives of a riverside barrio (now Kanalate). They asked for the name of the place. The natives, not knowing the Spanish tongue, answered that the flow of the river in that part was downstream –“paluslos”-, which the Spaniards pronounced “Malolos”. Corruption of the word through the years led to present “Malolos”.

The town originated from a small settlement started by the Spanish missionaries. Later, after clearing forests and virgin lands, the settlement grew, and the population increased. After the construction of a big church, the place was made into a town. From the very beginning, Tagalog made up the majority of the Malolos populace. They were led by prominent families, among them the Gatsalians (Gatchalian), and the Manahans.

To cite all the historical events that transpired in Malolos, one could very well fill a good-sized book. The major events especially those that revolved around the first Republic, cannot be left unmentioned.

The wealth of Malolos lies not only in its more than four thousand hectares of fertile rice lands and more than two thousand hectares of fishponds, but in the character of its people as well. Its people have long been known for their diligence and ingenuity. In early days, farming and fishing took up most of the poultry, farming, pigeon rising, carpentry and woodwork, and other profitable cottage industries and handicrafts. A major factor in Malolos growth and development was the opening of the Manila-Dagupan railways in 1892. With the advent of the railroad came new ideas from Manila and other places. Another factor is Malolos proximity to industrial and business centers. Only 42 kilometers off from Manila, the town and its people are inevitable subjected to an influx of metropolitan thoughts.

In work methods and tools, it is estranged to find Malolos folk using a combination of the old and the new Ramshackle hops tremble to the whirl of modern electric-powered machines. Fishermen go out to the sea in the same dugouts their grandfathers used. Some of them have outboard motors. And handicraftsmen, woodworkers and weavers still follow the ageless techniques of their forefathers.

The history of Marilao is correlated with the history of Meycauayan. This may be true, for in the old days, Marilao was part of Meycauayan and its biggest barrio. I got its name from a yellow plan growing abundantly in the place.

Meycauayan was established by the Franciscans between the years 1578 and 1579, or seven years before Manila was established, according to the historical records kept by Reverend Father Luis L. Lopez, D.D. (deceased), found among the records in the church. Meycauayan was formerly comprised of Obando, Marilao, Bocaue and San Jose del Monte.

The first missionaries to reach the place were Reverend Fathers Juan de Placencia and Diego Oropesa. The town proper (poblacion) was located in Malhacan, at present a barrio of Meycauayan. In 1588, storm and earthquake destroyed the churches and leveled almost all houses. Due to these calamities, the poblacion was transferred to Lagulo, but robbers and Aetas frequented Lagulo. The church was finally constructed on a lot surrounded with bamboo trees; hence, from bamboo (kawayan) the town of Meycauayan got its name. Father Antonio de Nombelas made the transfer of poblacion from Lagulo to Meycauayan in abeyance with the request of Father Pedro Bautista, a priest tortured and put to death and later held martyr in Japan. The Catholic hierarchy later honored him as a saint.

On February 27, 1901, the town of Marilao again became a barrio of Meycauayan. It was only in 1913 that Marilao completely became an independent town.

The first church in Marilao was created in the place called “tawiran” now the site of the old chapel, “bisitang matanda”. This was constructed 50 years before Marilao became a town.

The municipal building was constructed on a lot near the old chapel, now occupied by Ex-Mayor Mario Santiago. Today, the municipio is located near the church. The town market was built along side the municipal building.

Marilao became part of the railroad track constructed from Manila to Dagupan, Pangasinan on March 24, 1889.

Meycauayan is one of the oldest towns in the province of Bulacan and in the entire Philippines. The Franciscans established the town in 1578, a few years after the founding of the city of Manila. According to historical notes, the first missionaries to come to this town were Fathers Juan de Placencia and Diego de Oropesa. The “poblacion” was first established in Malhacan, earthquake, and the church including big houses collapsed. Because of this, the town proper was transferred to Lagulo. But Lagulo also did not last long as the town’s poblacion. Aetas oftentimes visited the place; hence, the church was transferred in place full of bamboos (makawayan). From this place, the own’st name derived. If not for this incident, the town would have been known as Malhacan or Lagulo. The transfer was made by Father Pedro Bautista, the priest who was held martyr in the country of Japan and was canonized into sainthood by the Papal seat in Rome.

Also, according to history, the town of Meycauayan, being a big place and the oldest in this part of Bulacan was alluded to as the prime town of the province of the same name. It was also proven by the book “Estado dela Provincia” printed in 1865 and written by Gregorio Magno, who described the town and its neighboring places as forested and wild, the people trekked to the vast expanse of the field and lands.

It was also during those times that Meycauayan was the center because besides its market, the headquarters of the Spaniards was established here. The then Meycauayan was composed of Polo and Obando, Marilao, Bocaue and San Jose del Monte. Corresponding to the changes of the primary towns, the name of the province was also changed from Meycauayan to Bulacan.

The neighboring town of Bocaue was founded in the year 1582, four or five years after the establishment of the town Meycauayan. It could also be gleaned from historical transitions before the Spaniards came, that the town of Meycauayan was progressive place, abundant and considered as a city.

It was in the year of 1623 when the town of Polo was detached from Meycauayan and followed by other towns, which now independently exist. (Polo was incorporated to the town of Valenzuela now a pat of Metro Manila). The last town to become independent from the town of Meycauayan was Marilao in 1913.

Because of the continuous progress of the town, a concrete bridge was built in 1791, which up to now exist as a historical document in Meycauayan’s legacy.

Pre-Spanish records revealed that, once, the town of Norzagaray was a remote wilderness. It was then called “Casay” a mere barrio of the town Angat.

During the Spanish occupation, the people of barrio Casay worked for reforms-politically, socially and economically in order to be separated from Angat. They succeeded in their attempts so that the Spanish Government, Through Governor-General Fernando de Norzagaray y Escudero (1857-1860), issued a proclamation declaring barrio Casay as a distinct town separated from Angat. Political boundaries were established and barrio Casay was called “Norzagaray”. The name of the town was derived from the name of the Governor-General who declared the separation of the said barrio from the political unit of Angat.

Today, the town of Norzagaray is a fast rising commercial and economic place with some tourist potentials. One of the busiest spots in the locality, particularly during summertime, is called “Bakas”. Bakas is situated or is a portion of the Angat River, which is noted for its big natural white stones along the riverbank, the green scenery surrounding it, the fresh air, and the cool and the calm flowing current. Metro Manila residents and others coming from distant towns oftentimes visit the place for relaxation.

Another potential spots for tourism is the area where the Angat River Hydroelectric Plant is located. This is the biggest hydroelectric plant the National Power Corporation (NPC) has ever constructed in the entire Philippines. The 37- kilometer reservoir of this hydroelectric plant is a wonder, covered with virgin forest-a nest for wild life. It has a cool climate. During nighttime, it is virtually a city situated in the wilds.

There is still other tourism potentials in this locality teat can be tapped. However, there are problems, which need immediate solutions. Some of this places are located in remote areas of the town and most are not accessible to motor vehicles.

The town of Norzagaray is rich in natural resources and endowed with natural beauty. Its people are religious, industrious and very hospitable just like any other people in neighboring town of Bulacan.

Given more time with its natural wealth, the town of Norzagaray will be the next “goldmine” in this part of the country. With its preserving people and enlightened leadership, Norzagaray is the town to watch.

Take four typical pilgrims, a bachelor, a spinsters and a childless couple. Settle them into a rustic-peaceful town somewhere in Central Luzon. Make them dance with considerable faith before the image of tree patron saints in an old historic church. Add some seafood with a sprinkling of “mangga at suman”. That’s Obando in nutshell.

As early as the 18th century, Obando was just a part of the municipality of Meycauayan together with Polo that formed a barrio called Catanghalan. The increase in population and improvement in its finances led to the separation of Obando and Polo (now Valenzuela). Founded on May 14,1753, the town was named in honor of Don Jose Francisco de Obando; the then Spanish governor-general of the Philippines.

Valenzuela in the East, Malabon in the Southwest and Meycauayan and Bulacan in North bound Obando. Ten barrios all nestled in 13 square miles of land, and these are Catanghalan, Panghulo, Pag-asa, Paliwas, Quebadia, Hulo, Lawa, Paco, Tawiran and Binuangan.

Economically, socially and politically, Obando is making a headway, in its modest way, twenty years after it had risen from the ruins of war in 1945, thanks to its God-loving, industrious and hospitable people. With high hopes the town gazes at its bright future.

The town of Obando was named after Governor General Jose Francisco de Obando y Solis who was responsible for decreeing Obando as a separate and independent town on May 14, 1753.

Pandi is the youngest tow in Bulacan. During the Spanish days it formed part of the vast Sta. Maria de Pandi Estate, which included the towns of Sta. Maria and Balagtas and parts of Angat and Bustos. The present site of the Municipal building was then enclosed with high and massive walls similar to the famous Walls of Intramuros, which served as the center of power and activities of the Spanish friars who owned and administered the haciendas. Politically, however, Pandi was then a part of the town Balagtas (then Bigaa0 until its formal separation and independence on April 17, 1946.

During the Philippine Revolution, Pandi played a vital and historical role in the fight for Philippine Independence. It was in Kakarong de Sili, which about 6,000 Katipuneros from various towns of Bulacan headed by General Eusebio Roque, better known as “Maestrong Sebio” that the “Kakarong Republic” was organized shortly after the cry of Balintawak. History and researchers, as well as records of the National Historical Commission, tell that the “Kakarong Republic” was the first and truly organized Revolutionary Government established in the country to overthrow the Spaniards antedating event the famous “Malolos” and the “Biak-na-Bato Republic”. In recognition thereof, these three ‘republics” established in Bulacan have been incorporated in the seal of the province of Bulacan.

According to available records including the biography of General Gregorio del Pilar entitled “Life and Death of a Boy General” written by Teodoro Kalaw, former director of the National Library, a fort was constructed at Kakarong de Sili that was like a miniature city. It had streets, an independent police force, a musical band, a factory of falconets, bolos and repair shops for rifles and cartridges. The “Kakarong Republic” had a complete set of officials with Canuto Villanueva as Supreme Chief and “Maestrong Sebio” as Captain-General of the Army. The fort was attacked and totally destroyed on January 1, 1897 by a large Spanish force headed by General Olaguer-Feliu. Gen. Del Pilar was only a lieutenant at that time and the Battle of Kakarong de Sili was his first “baptism of fire”.

The actual site of the “Battle of Kakarong de Sili” is now a part of the Barangay of Real de Kakarong where the Kakarong Lodge No. 168 of the Legionarios del Trabajo in memory of the 1,200 Katipuneros who perished in the battle erected a monument of the “Inang Pilipina” in 1924. No less than one of the greatest generals in the Philippines history, General Emilio Aguinaldo, visited this sacred ground in the late fifties.

Paombong, a town of Bulacan with a population of 16,677 (Census 1960) lies Southeast of the province. It is bounded on the Feast by Malolos, the capital of Bulacan; on the North by Calumpit; on the West by Hagonoy, and the South by Manila Bay. The land is characterized by mixed sand and clay except the Southern part, which is low and swampy. He soil is rich and suited to agriculture. Rice fields from the North to West and fishponds abound in the area. Nipa swamps abound and are spreads from East to South, which are veritable sources of income of the people.

The land is irrigated by several rivers branching from the Pampanga River, which traverses the town of Paombong ending at Manila Bay. Among these branches are the Sta. Cruz River, Malumot River, Sukat River, Bakawkaw River and Masukol River. All navigable, the rivers are busy arteries of commerce and trade in the transport of local products to places including Manila.

Due to the low elevation of the town, the climate varies from warm to pleasant days. Cool and invigorating nights generally prevail in the entire town, however.

This town was once marshy land covered with tall grasses, mangroves, and nipa palms. The latter has become the breadwinner of the towns such as Malolos, Hagonoy, Calumpit, Bigaa, Obando and even Manila.

There was a time that there were earthen jars to deposit nipa sap, the people used to long bamboo tubes or joints called a vernacular the “Bombong”. Every place where a nipa hut stood, this “Bombong” containing nipa juice is seen. People from adjacent places who came to this town to barter their products with the tuba of nipa or vinegar, called this place Paombong or sitio of many Bombongs. This is the origin of the name of the town. Soon afterwards, a town arose from the swampy place. The area became a place too beautiful to live in. The people are contented and carefree as well as happy.

The founder christened the place Paombong which means so much to the inhabitants because from the “Bombong” came the wealth, happiness and prosperity of the people.

The historical past of the town of Plaridel can be traced from some records way back in 1595, in the early years of the Spanish colonization, when the place was a vast undeveloped plain covered with thick forest and cogon grass, with the rivers Angat and Tabang running through it. The Angat River flowed directly in a snakelike wave to Calumpit meeting the Pampanga River, while the Tabang river which was a mere branch with adjoining intersections dividing the middle of the present Poblacion, flowed to Manila Bay passing Guiguinto and Bulacan towns. The water of this river was called “Tabang” or fresh water.

Very few people lived here, and closely related with each other. Each group had a leader called “tandis”. Different groups spoke different dialects, Pampango, Pangasinan, Ilocano and Tagalog. From Calumpit, Spanish priest and missionaries of the Augustinian Order led by the Rev. Fr. Bernardino de Leon frequently visited the place, preaching the Catholic faith … using the “balsa” or bamboo raft as their means of transportation. These missionaries thought of clearing the land and established settlements and convened the people to unity. The thought of a plan to give favored the ideas so that everyone set to work. Each “Tandis” drew a plan to pursue. For seven years, the groups of people labored so much that when the priest returned, they found the place to have been cleared. They inquired from the natives who should be credited, and the Pampangos exclaimed, “Quing wawa Ding tagalog po” or the Tagalogs got it. So every now and then, to every question of the friars, the people would reply. “Buti Quing Wawa Tagalog, Quing wa”. The riest believed that the Tagalogs should be credited and should receive the gold medal and from thereafter the place was called Quingwa.

Like any other community, Quingwa grew and prospered. The life of the people flourished and intelligent sons were born. One of them, Jose J. Mariano, who was then the “Alcalde” or town mayor, had the initiative of renaming the town. Congressman Pedro Magsalin, a friend of the alcalde sponsored a bill changing the name of the town from Quingwa to Plaridel. The bill was passed by the Philippine Congress and was approved by President Manuel L. Quezon. On December 29, 1936, amidst elaborate celebrations, the town was renamed PLARIDEL in honor of the great hero of Bulacan_ Marcelo H. del Pilar; in the presence of political luminaries that included Speaker Gil Montilla, Congressman Pedro Magsalin, Honorable Nicolas Buendia, Honorable Eulogio Rodriguez, Honorable Elpidio Quirino and Governor Jose Padilla, Sr.

Pulilan is one of the 23 towns of Bulacan province, located in about its center- from north to South- with an area of about 3,000 hectares. It is bounded on the North by Apalit in Pampanga; on the East by Baliuag; on the South by Plaridel; and on the West by Calumpit. The Angat River cutting its way through the Eastern edge of Baliuag, and the Southern fringes of Pulilan down to the tributary of Manila Bay Southwest of Calumpit, serves as the boundary with Plaridel. Its feature is flat and the soil is suited to farming.

The first time Pulilan was settled was unknown but if existing records of the towns of Calumpit and Baliuag, between which the town lies, be made a basis, it could be deduced that in the early part of the 17th century it could have had a sprinkling of settlers. (Calumpit was declared s town in 1575, and Baliuag recently celebrated her 300th anniversary). It is presumed that the settlers spread themselves in far-apart groups along the riverbanks for two reasons: first, water facility secondly, the profound attraction of water to them. The word “Tagalog” in a contraction of “taga-ilog” a name ascribed to this ethnic group of Malays who had the reputation for cleanliness through their profuse use of water.

After long period of severe inculcation of foreign powers’ lustful and licentious personal policies I politics and, perhaps, from an assumed contention that the inhabitants were thoroughly insured to their power, an Augustinian friar, Fray Vicente Villamanzo, was made to declare the settlement a town in January 20, 1796. It was assigned a patron saint, San Isidro Labrador, after whose name he wanted the town identified. The name however, did not prevail over the popularity known epitaph “Pulo ng Ilan” which later gained favor in its contracted from “Pulilan”.

From the Spanish time to American occupation and lately the Japanese era, many sons of the town of Pulilan shed their blood. After long march to freedom, Pulilenos started to build from its small beginnings and from then on made a great stride in politics, economy , social standing and in other fields.

From the time the nation acquired its Independence, the inhabitants of Pulilan have committed themselves in a determined effort to improve their lot. The regimentation of Spanish colonialism, the benevolence of American tutelage, the tough experience they gained from the ruthless Japanese, have in a measure, contributed to the promotion of their welfare. But the Pulilenos, as they are known, treasure their great heritage.

Long before the arrival of the Spaniards in the Philippines, the town of San Ildefonso was known as Bulak. The early inhabitants called this town as such because of the abundant “kapok” trees (Bulak in vernacular) growing on the hill where the town proper is now situated.

Bulak was then a barrio of San Rafael. There were very few inhabitants numbering only about 3,000. The early inhabitants were people from neighboring towns and provinces that preferred to settle in this place because of the good prospect of agriculture.

When the Spaniards came, the name Bulak was changed to Hacienda San Juan de Dios because her 15,500 hectares of grazing and farming grounds were claimed by the friars. The people were told to pay tribute. Proceeds from the rentals were used to finance the operation of the San Juan de Dios Hospital in Manila. The Spanish friars though antagonistic towards the Filipinos, could not help admiring the beauty of the numerous natural scenarios God bestowed on the town. Because of their admiration, they changed the name Hacienda de San Juan de Dios to amore fitting one Hacienda Buenavista, a Spanish word which means beautiful scenery.

As the population grew, a chapel was constructed under the parochial jurisdiction of San Rafael. In 1809, Father Juan dela Rosa was named the first Filipino priest of the town. He held such position up to 1911. He was responsible for changing the Bulak to San Ildefonso in honor of Alfonso XII, then the King of Spain and San Ildefonso, its Patron Saint. By the time it was given this name, a tribunal was created finally making it a town in 1877. Between the periods 1905- 1906, San Ildefonso was merged with San Miguel due to its low income and inability to finance its expenditures in operating the local government.

As year went by, more and more people were induced to live in the town. The growth of population promoted the increase of income. The town became capable of meeting its expenses so it consequently ceased being a barrio of San Miguel and became once again an independent town.

Early accounts on the founding of this town, as gathered from the old people, yielded information that it was formerly a part of the town of Meycauayan. The town reportedly got its name from Saint Joseph whose statue was found was a veritable forest; the hunters called it San Jose Del Monte. In all probability, the hunters reported their find to the parish priest of Meycauayan. It was said that the priest built a stone church at the site where the town proper is now located. The statue was installed in the new church. Extant Catholic Church records reveal that the first parish priest was Father Antonio de Moral. He took charge of the parish in 1845. The first town inhabitants came from Meycauayan.

During the revolt against Spain, the town became a battleground between the Katipuneros and the Spain forces. The revolutionists lost and the vengeful Spanish soldiers burned down the settlement. The town people fled for their lives to nearby towns.

At the advent of the American rule, it was made a part of Sta. Maria until 1918 when the town was created and Ciriaco Gallardo was appointed the first municipal president. Public schools where opened at the start of the American regime but due to the scarcity of the population, the highest grade organized was the fourth grade.

During the Japanese occupation, the town became an ideal hiding place of the Filipino guerillas because of the town’s hilly and wooden terrain. When the Americans came, peace reigned but not for long. At the height of the Huk activity, the town was raided on October 10,1950. The Huks burned down the town hall. The town was raided for the second time on March 21, 1951. The Huks did not succeeded because of the precautionary measures instituted by the town officials. The Huk menace was gradually eliminated until the town became peaceful and progressive as we find it today.

With the coming of recent settlers to San Jose Del Monte, its population increased tremendously. In the past few years several residential subdivisions have been established here to accommodate the spilled-over population of Metro Manila.

Its proximity to Manila and Quezon City had made San Jose del Monte an ideal place for a quite and peaceful living. The place is hilly with a mountain background, the Sierra Madre that provides a panoramic backdrop to the town. San Jose del Monte promises to become one of the industrial sites in this part of the province with the way things are going.

San Miguel is one of the most progressive towns in Bulacan. Miguel Pineda in 1763, the first “Captain Municipal” of the place founded it.

It was said that Miguel Pineda, a native of Angat, went hunting one day and he happened to reach barrio San Bartolome, located at the foot of the Sierra Madre mountains. Finding the place suitable for this chosen by the settlers to be their leader.

The barrio improved through his leadership and decides to expand their territory. He then later discovered a progressive community named Sto. Rosario whose leader was Mariano Puno. The two agreed to form a town between Bartolome (now Tartaro) and Sto. Rosario (now Mandile). They chose Miguel Mayumo to be the name of the town, which should be included in the province of Pampanga. Miguel was in honor of Miguel Pineda and Mayumo, a Pampango word for “sweet”, stands for the goodwill and generosity of Puno.

Years passed by, the people, during a meeting presided over by Pineda, endorsed to give the town a better name. In the course of their meting, an excited man came in and then related an unusual tale.

He clamed that one night on his way home after gathering bundles of firewood which he placed on a raft, a big rock blocked his way along the river. He tried to find another way but could not make it. Suddenly, a strong wind lashed at him followed by heavy rains. He hurriedly left the raft and sought shelter inside a cave. He continued that he fell asleep as he waited for the rain to stop.

At midnight, a blinding light woke him up. Stunned, he stood up as he sensed something was happening when another dazzling light brightened the cave. He went to another part of the cave and later on he discovered a hallowed winged figure. He was sure, a miracle happened. He went back at the town and narrated the story. Some people led by Captain Miguel went there to see for themselves the miracle. They saw the winged figure, which looked like Saint Michael, the Prince of the Angels. They believed that the discovery of the Angel was God’s blessing and a sign of good graces to the inhabitants. In this connection, the people of Miguel Mayumo deemed it proper and timely to add “Sam” to the name of the town in reference and homage to the discovery of the image of Arcangel. Hence, San Miguel de Mayumo became the complete name of the town. However, the official name of the town at present is simply SAN MIGUEL.

Long before the Spaniards came, the Philippines had already political units of some known as the “balangays” composed of several clans living is specific areas. In one of those barangays, in the then unknown town of San Rafael, a man named Rafael lived to become a legend.

One night in his deep slumber, he dreamt that he could cure the sick with the liver of the fish he caught. The following morning, he happened to pass by a neighbor’s house, where an old man was ill and bed-ridden. He applied the liver on the painful stomach and after some moments the old man was able to get up from his bed. Since then he became a famous medicine man. Everyday his house was full of sick people hoping to be cured by him.

Then the Spaniards came to rule the Islands to carry out their mission of spreading Christianity through the Catholic faith. Several missionaries traveled from one place to another to spread the Gospel of God.

One of the places they visited was of Rafael’s. They were attracted by the presence of many people going in his house. One of the Spaniards asked this question: “Que lugar es Este?” The natives unknowingly answered back with: “Si Rafael po nanggagamot: (Rafael is treating patient). The Spaniards retorted, “Pues, Este es San Rafael, ah?”

Since then, the town was known as San Rafael.

San Rafael including the town of San Ildefonso became once the property of the Hospital of San Juan de Dios because of the capricious friars who declared the lands that could be treated by a loose, sacrificial cow would become part of the San Juan de Dios.

The two towns then begun to be called Hacienda de Buenavista until the year 1944.

The town of San Rafael also bore the brunt of Spanish and Japanese occupation troops but the people managed to live under stress and still they were united.

San Rafael was once a remote part or town of Bulacan bounded on the north by San Ildefonso, Southwest by Angat, South by Bustos, and Southeast by Baliuag. On the Southern part of San Rafael runs the Famous Angat River separating the town from Angat and Bustos.

The town of San Rafael is of line village type. The farms are located on a considerable distance from the houses. It is a vast plain stretching a few miles away from the foot of the famous Victory Hill and formerly a part of the most publicized Buenavista Estate.

The town of Sta. Maria has a glorious past, a pulsating present and a directed future. It has the protective and inspiring guidance from the Blessed Virgin de la Purisima Concepcion.

Captain Jose whose real name is Don Jose Serapio enriches the past history of Sta. Maria. He was a towering disciplinarian, an imposing leader and a romantic adventurer. He served Sta. Maria as its Captain Municipal for several years during which the enlightened and enriched the historical career of the town.

The town of Sta. Maria is situated in the Eastern part of the province. Angat and Norzagaray on the North, Marilao on the South, San Jose del Monte on the East, and on the West by Balagtas and Bocaue, bound it. The construction of the church gave way to the formation of the community. Its foundation in 1702 by the Spanish friars marked the beginning of the spiritual crusade. The friars founded the town proper in 1793. Civil affairs were also attended to, so the appointment of the first Capitan Andres de la Cruz, made way for the permanent establishment of the town. He showed examples worthy of emulation, which other captains who succeeded him did also. For many times they showed their discontent with the friars’ administration. The friars interfered in civil affairs mostly to pursue their selfish interests.

Sta. Maria is not only proud of its physical asset, political stability, progressive economy, but also proud of having a son in the person of Jose Corazon de Jesus, the incomparable poet, the one and only “Huseng Batute”, who started composing his verse as a child and nationally recognized later, next to Balagtas in order of time, as the “King of Poets”. Another Francisco Santiago, the composer who left among as his legacies the immortal “Nasaan Ka Irog” and other famous songs.

In times of war, Sta. Maria has contributed the blood of its people. She is proud of their “Veteranos de la Revolucion” who took part in the past struggles for the nation’s independence.

The town Sta. Maria is full of contrasts: It has an old, remodeled church, and a stone’s throw away from this religious façade is the new modern municipal building of the town build a few years ago. Sta. Maria has modern embroidery factories, which manufacture ready-made dresses for young and old alike; well-paved roads, busy poblacion and big residential houses, and a general hospital. Sta. Maria has been known for many years as the “egg basket” of the Philippines and one of the towns in the province, which is thriving with cottage industries. Unemployment is not a problem in this town. The best thing a non-Sta. Maria resident ot do to feel the town’s busy atmosphere is to join the people.
