Bulacan province is included at the Central Plain of Luzon; the western part is generally flat and is drained by the Angat and Pampanga Rivers. It is located North of Metro Manila and surrounded by Nueva Ecija on the North and Northeast, Quezon on the East, Rizal on the south, Manila Bay on the South and Southwest and Pampanga on the West.

The province has lots of festivities and other celebrations, which will enable one to experience enjoyment and pleasure. It has what they call Pulilan Carabao Festival, Parancillo, Fertility Rites, Lenten Rites and a lot more.

The province has numerous monuments and historical sites, which commemorate the long and bloody struggle of the Philippine people against the Spanish and American colonialists. These include Barasoain Church, Casa Real, Malolos, the former Republican printing press now converted into a museum, the San Rafael Church, Calumpit Bridge, Marcelo H. Del Pilar Shrine, Don Felipe Buencamino Marker at San Miguel and the Calumpit Church, which was a burial place for revolutionaries and Spaniards during the war.

Madlum, Pinaglarean, Aguinaldo Caves and Sibul Spring Resort are some of the natural attractions located in Bulacan that really fascinate visitors especially the tourists.

People in this area earn their living through leather tanning, cement bag making, ceramics, textiles, food processing, shoemaking, machinery and cottage making. Bulacan’s principal products are rice, corn, sugarcane, watermelon, bamboo, mangoes and various vegetables.

There are 3 ways to get to Bulacan: one is through the historic MacArthur Highway, another is through the North Expressway and through the Cagayan Valley Road.
