BULACAN
Bulacan is the land of Tagalog Poets, whose prosperous towns and rich agricultural lands have nurtured a most vibrant and colorful people. The province of Nueva Ecija bound it on the north, on the east by the provinces of Aurora and Quezon, on the west by the province of Pampanga and on the south by the province of Rizal, Metro Manila and Manila Bay. Bulacan got its name from the Tagalog word "bulak" meaning cotton, which was its former principal product. The climate in Bulacan is similar to the rest of Central Luzon. There were two pronounced seasons with a dry period from November to April and a wet period the rest of the year.
The province is also known for world-class jewelry. Tourist attractions include Barasoain Church, where the revolutionary congress drafted the first Philippine Constitution; the Shrine of Marcelo H. Del Pilar and the monument of Francisco Balagtas. Bulacan is also known for the unique rites and fiestas held around the different towns, like the Carabao Festival in Pulilan and the fiesta of Obando, marked by fertility rite consisting of street dancing by childless couples who hope to be blessed with offspring, and the Crus ng Wawa River festival where a huge decorated pagoda is paraded in the Bocaue River.
