Mt. Manalmon

It's a mountain in Bulacan that can give you a great experience. The trails are simple, there's a relaxing ambiance on the summit, there's a gorgeous landscape, and the rock formations are picture-perfect. Experience the extreme by hopping from one cave to another. There are other outdoor activities that you can try courtesy of the local government and the tourism office.

Baliwag Church

This church has a gorgeous Baroque architectural design, and according to the Spanish records, it was Fr. Juan de Albarran, OSA, who was assigned as the parish priest of Baliuag Church in 1733, the year that the church was officially begun. Then, between 1769 and 1774, the second church was built by Father Gregorio Giner. The structure of the church was completed in 1801. However, in 1863, the strongest earthquake damaged the church, but it was rebuilt in 1870. It's also known as the Saint Augustine Parish Church.

It is one of the old churches located in Bulakan, Bulacan. Diocesan Shrine and Parish of Nuestra Señora de la Asuncion is a 19th-century Neo-Byzantine-Romanesque stone church declared a Marked Historical Structure of the Philippines in 2007. During Holy Week or the Lenten season, this church is the center of a famous presentation, locally called "Dakip," a Filipino word that means to arrest or to abduct. It is a play that portrays how Jesus Christ was captured before the crucifixion.

Plaridel Church

The Plaridel Church was established in 1581 and is one of Bulacan's oldest Hispanic churches. Its structure is a barn-style Baroque with Moorish ornamentation. During the British occupation (1762-1763), this church was the place where the money and jewels of San Agustin, in Intramuros, Manila, were kept. An octagonal chapel, locally called the Simborio Chapel, is surrounded by artistic windows. The people in this area, with the help of the local government, are preserving their historical value. Also, "Pintakasi ng mga Caballero," or a fiesta for horse lovers, is celebrated in Plaridel, Bulacan.
