Pulilan, Municipality in Bulacan, Philippines
Pulilan is a municipality set across flat irrigated rice lands with eleven barangays bordered by the Angat River in Central Luzon. The landscape is defined by agricultural fields and waterways that support farming throughout the year.
During Spanish colonial times, the settlement was established around rice farming, which became the foundation of the local economy. This agricultural character has shaped the municipality ever since.
The May festival celebrates the water buffalo with decorated animals paraded through town streets, showing how farming remains woven into community life and identity.
The flat terrain makes it easy to navigate and explore on foot or by local transport. Key services and markets are generally accessible from the main areas throughout the municipality.
The soil beneath the fields ranges from sandy loam to clay loam, creating different growing conditions across the municipality. This natural variation has shaped how farmers adapt their methods to each area.
