History
Main article: History of Bulacan
During the Conquest of Luzon by Adelantado Miguel Legazpi in 1571, Bulacan was reported to
be well populated and rich. Initially there were only six encomiendas under the rule of the
Alcalde Mayor in Bulacan: Calumpit (then an independent Alcaldia) Bulakan, Malolos,
Meycauayan, Binto (present-day Plaridel), Guiguinto, and Caluya (present-day Balagtas). The
encomiendas were later organized into Pueblos (towns). The first pueblo established in Bulacan
was the town of Calumpit, founded by Agustinian friars in 1575.
[5]
Calumpit was also the
birthplace of Christianity historcal documents told that Calumpit is a different and separated in
Bulacan comprising the Provincia de Calonpite y Hagonoy together with Apalit.A time came,in
1578 Alcaldia de Calumpit and it was dissolved and annexed to Provincia de Bulacan. It has
been said that in 1578 the Augustinians conquered Bulacan (the town after which the province
was named).
[original research?]
The province of Bulacan (named Meycauayan it its antiquity), is on
the island of Luzon, and is one of the most important Alcadia de Termino, Civil and politically
it corresponds to the Audiencia y capitana general de Filipinas, and spiritually belongs to the
Archbishop of Manila.
[6]
The Franciscan friars Juan Plasencia and Fray Diego de Oropesa
founded Meycauayan in the same year, and for a time it was the capital; people were able to
flourish, and became so rich that the sons are six of the best in the province (Bocaue, Polo, San
Jose del Monte, Santa Maria de Pandi, Obando and Marilao).
[7]
On the other hand Malolos also
under Augustinian Order.During Spanish Period already existed as a Chinese settlement bearing
the name Li-han,in which those people are rich tagalogs and Chinese who are excellent in
commerce and trade was conquered by Spanish conquistador and constituted as Royal
Encomienda by Adelantado Miguel Lopez de Legaspi in November 14, 1571 under Jeronimo
Tirado and Marcos de Herrera.
[8]
The oldest document mentioning Malolos as a Civil Town can
be found in Augustinian documents when the town of Malolos was accepted by the Augustinians
to be its House of Order in June 11, 1580. Augustinians missionaries renamed the village of
Lihan as Malolos a Pueblo or Town with its own Gobernadorcillo on 1580.
During the General Visitation of October 5, 1762 by, Sr. Doctor Don Simon de Anda de Salazar,
the province was headed by Capitan Don Jose Pasarin, alcade mayor of the province.
[9]
1795-96,
Don Manuel Pion was the alcalde mayor.
[10]
According to the "Guia de 1839", Bulacan
province in the island of Luzon, Philippines, is governed by a mayor, consists of 19 pueblos,
36,394 tributes and 181,970 souls.
[11]
In 1848 when the boundaries of Pampanga were changed,
the region, which includes the important town of San Miguel de Mayumo and neighboring places
that were formerly part of Pampanga, was adjudicated to Bulacan.
[12]

In an earlier period during 1890, Malolos was a hot-spot of Liberal Illustrados, notably the "20
Women of Malolos", who exerted pressure for education under a Filipino professor. However,
the first phase of the revolution ceased in 1897 with the signing of the Pact of Biak-na-Bato in
San Miguel. Under its terms the leaders were to go to Hong Kong and reside there. Under the
illusory peace created by the pact, the end of 1897 saw greater determination om the part of the
Filipinos to carry on the revolution. In early 1898, the provinces of Zambales, Ilocos, Pampanga,
Bulacan, Laguna, Pangasinan, Nueva Ecija, Tarlac. and Camarines rose again. In Central Luzon,
a revolutionary government was organized under General Francisco Makabulos, a Kapampangan
revolutionary leader of La Paz, Tarlac.
The U.S. Americans established a local Philippine government in the Philippines when they held
the first municipal election in the country in the town of Baliuag, Bulacan on May 6, 1899.
At the beginning of the American rule,1899-1900 Malolos became the headquarters of the
Military Governor of the Philippines Malolos at Casa Real in Malolos and in February 27, 1901,
the Philippine Commission officially transferred the seat of government to Malolos, and the Casa
Real de Malolos was the seat of the Provincial Governor from 1900 to 1930 until the completion
of the capitol building at the Brgy Guinhawa, Malolos City.
In 1942, at the height of World War II, the Japanese Imperial Army occupied Bulacan and made
Casa Real de Malolos its headquarters.
In 1945, combined Filipino and American forces and local guerrillas attacked the Japanese
Imperial Forces and liberated Bulacan.

Issues Concerning the Foundation Date
For a long period of time, Bulacan traced its founding as a province during the American Period
at the reorganization of Philippine Provinces. To determine the true date of the province's
foundation and to trace its roots in ancient period. Efforts and research conducted by Dr. Jaime
Veneracion, Dr.Reynaldo Naguit of the Center for Bulacan Studies and Isagani Giron of the
Samahang Pangkasaysayan ng Bulacan (Sampaka) shows that Bulacan was identified as a
province as early as 1578. This is due to a cedulario found by the researchers which states
Provincia de Bulacan and was dated 1578. With regards to exact date of foundation of Bulacan
as a province, Veneracion correlated it with the practice of Spaniard of dedicating the founding a
pueblo to the feast of a patron saint. In the case of Bulacan it is the Nuestra Seora de la
Asuncion, which is also the patron saint of Bulakan town, the first capital of the province
[1]

Geography
Bulacan is bounded by Nueva Ecija on the north, Aurora (Dingalan) on the northeast, Quezon
(General Nakar) on the east, Rizal (Rodriguez) on the southeast, Metro Manila (Valenzuela City,
Malabon City, Navotas City, Caloocan City and Quezon City) on the south, Manila Bay on the
southwest, and Pampanga on the west.
Several rivers irrigate the province of Bulacan; the largest one is that of Angat. Angat River
passes through the towns of Norzagaray, Angat, Bustos, San Rafael, Baliuag, Plaridel, Pulilan,
and Calumpit. It flow thence into the Pampanga River, goes out again, washes Hagonoy and
loses itself in the mangroves. The banks of these rivers are very fertile and are covered with
trees.
Political
Bulacan is subdivided into 21 municipalities and 3 cities. As the population is concentrated in the
southern half of the province, so are the legislative districts.

northward to cities and towns in Pampanga, Tarlac and Zambales, pass through Bulacan via the
Tabang exit. Other bus companies that travel to Bulacan include Baliwag Transit, First North
Luzon, Five Star, Agila Transport, Phil. Corinthian, Mersan, Mayamy, RJ Express.
