Bulacan's name is believed to have been derived from the word "Bulak-lakan" - or place where flowers bloom. This due to the fertile soil, beautiful women, poetry & art that comes from this part of the country. Some argue that the province takes its name after "Bulak" or cotton which used to grow abundtantly in the region.

Art & beauty being prolific, it should then be no surprise that Bulacan is the seat of passion in the country. It is the birthlace of democracy in Asia.
Bulacan is traditionally known as the land of the "Makatas" - Orators well-versed in the profound vernacular & superb public-speaking skills.
Philippine history marks the importance of Biak na Bato (Split Stone), the site where Filipino revolutionaries - Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo & Pedro Paterno signed the Malolos Constitution. It was also a hideout for Katipuneros.
The crowning glory of Bulacan is Malolos & its two historic churches - the Malolos Church and Barasoain Church. It is likewise the Capital of the First Philippine Republic circa 1898.
Philippine History is laden with heroes & patriots - many of whom hail from Bulacan. Among these are: Marcelo H. del Pilar, Gen. Gregorio del Pilar, Mariano Ponce, Trinidad Tecson, Gen. Isidoro Torres and Maximo Viola.
Cattle Creek Club
Smack dab in glorious & historic Bulacan - is Cattle Creek Club.
Easily the Philippines's largest RC flying field complete with its own lake for sailing and float planes. It also boasts one of the finest concrete & grass runways in the country - exclusively for model use. It is situated in San Jose, Del Monte City roughly 36 kilometers northeast of Metro Manila.
Cattle Creek Manager Gerardo "Doni" G. Paz is a passionate modeler, and the owner of CC Models (which manufactures RC air planes & heli bodies). Like all Bulacenos, Doni is a stalwart bastion for supporting RC in the Philippines.
Being the largest Club in the country, Cattle Creek hosts two Clubs: Cattle Creek Aeromodeler's Club and the new - Cattle Creek Sailing Club.
