Plaridel, Municipality in Bulacan, Philippines
The municipality of Plaridel sits at an elevation of 11 meters above sea level, with the Angat and Tabang rivers flowing through its territory.
Spanish Augustinian missionaries led by Reverend Father Bernardino de Leon established settlements in Plaridel, formerly known as Quingua, during the early 1600s.
The Parish Church of Santiago Apostol, constructed by Augustinians in 1602, features Moorish architectural elements that distinguish it among Bulacan's religious structures.
The municipality contains 19 barangays, including Agnaya, Banga, Bintog, and Bulihan, each managed by locally elected officials who oversee community development.
The Battle of Quingua in 1899 marked a significant event where Filipino forces under Pablo Tecson fought against American troops, resulting in Colonel Stotsenberg's death.
