Caloocan, Highly urbanized city in Metro Manila, Philippines

The municipality formed in 1815 after separation from Tondo, later becoming the location where Andres Bonifacio initiated the Philippine Revolution in 1896.
The city name evolved from the Tagalog word 'loog', meaning inside, reflecting its position as an interior territory in the metropolitan region.
