Bulacan

With this end in view, for three years he made preparations.

For months the shores were lined with the yards of the shipbuilders, and the great forests of Bulacan fell before the axes of the Indians.

More than 200 vessels, galeras, calcotas, and virayas, were built and assembled at Cavite.

In the fall of 1593, the expedition, consisting of over 900 Spaniards, Filipino bowmen and rowers, was ready.

The Spanish occupation had brought ruin and misery to some parts of the country.

Salazar describes with bitterness the evil condition of the Filipinos.

In the rich fields of Bulacan in Pampanga, great gangs of laborers had been impressed, felling the forests for the construction of the Spanish fleets and manning these fleets at the oars on voyages which took them for four and six months from their homes.

The governor, Don Gonzalo Ronquillo, had forced many Indians of Pampanga into the mines of Ilocos, taking them from the sowing of their rice.

The court stressed that reports must contain relevant and concrete facts and stressed that to stay silent in the fact of corruption is to be complicit in injustice.

Finally, on Friday, the SC and the provincial government of Bulacan signed a use-of-ruck agreement covering the land where the Malolos City Hall of Justice presently stands.

Acting Chief Justice Morvic M.B.F. Leonin and Office of the Court Administrator officials, led by Court Administrator Maria Teresa Dolores Gomez Estuesta, attended the signing ceremony at the SC compound in Manila.

Also present were judges from Regional Trial Court Malolo City, led by Executive Judge Hermen Aguildo Dumlao II, as well as provincial government officials of Bulacan, led by Governor Daniel Fernando and Vice Governor Alexis Castro.

Former DPWH officials plead not guilty to graft.

Former Department of Public Works and Highways assistant engineer Bryce Hernandez and six other former DPWH officials pleaded not guilty on Wednesday to a graft charge over the alleged P77 million ghost flood control project in Baligtas, Bulacan.

Already in detention over a separate P92.8 million flood control case in Pondi, Bulacan, Hernandez and his six co-accused entered their pleas before the Sanigan Bayan 5th Division.

J.P. Mendoza, R.J. Domacig, Nino Lawrence Morales, Juanito Mendoza, Floralyn Simbolin and Cristina May Pineda joined Hernandez in denying the charge.

They are accused of involvement in a P77.2 million riverbank protection project along the Baligtas River that was declared completed in May 2025 despite an inspection finding no structure at the site, according to the ombudsman.

Luxon said Cayetano's attempt to portray him as an investigator and prosecutor reflected his persistence in raising questions and gathering evidence on alleged wrongdoing.

He maintained that his actions were not personal and that he was guided by evidence.

Lixin said anomalies he found in flood control projects last year prompted him to dig deeper, eventually leading him to deliver two privileged speeches on alleged corruption involving projects in Bulacan and Oriental Mindoro.

Iron also has been found in many of the islands.

The best is that in Luzon, in the provinces of Morong, Laguna, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, and Camarines, which, according to Centeno, compares most favorably in quality with that of Sweden.

The ore contains from seventy-five to eighty percent pure iron and is found in the midst of immense forests, so that there is thus a permanent supply of fuel, if properly used.

In addition to this, there is often water power in the neighborhood, which could be profitably utilized.

In the above-mentioned provinces, Centeno discovered large masses of almost pure magnetic iron oxide, hierro oxidado magnetico casi puro.

After what has been said above, it is not surprising that here also there has been no thorough exploitation.

In the province of Bulacan, the natives manufacture a very primitive iron plowshare and pots for cooking, carajays.

But even here there has been a gradual decline since the commencement of this century.

PNP Chief Jose Melencio Martirez issued the reminder following the arrest of a Chinese and his Filipino female employee.

Recently, CIDG operatives seized in Bocaue, Bulacan, around eighty thousand allegedly counterfeit rice sacks.

According to the PNP chief, the sacks were allegedly copied from legitimate brands.

He said the sacks were apparently intended to be filled with rice before being sold to consumers.

She walked from Manila to Columpit to the nearest American station.

Because at that time, the Americans were already coming to Manila from Lingayen, from Lingayen Gulf, right? They were already there in Bulacan, which is around 40 miles to Manila.

And she walked by foot.

She went by foot with this ailment.

And then...

We need to go out to Bulacan.

Bulacan represent! We need to go down to Cebu and Davao.

I'm praying for all these things, but I'm not worshiping God on the condition that he answers my prayer.

What would happen if we never get a building as a church? I will keep showing up.
