Maybe this is why you should visit this village- it might just surprise you.

Caloocan is located in the Northern part of NCR. It’s in between the intersection of EDSA (Epifanio de los Santos) and Rizal Avenue. To make the most of your stop, it’s best to check the current weather conditions before visiting.

Historical trivia

Caloocan is indeed a unique name for a city. It’s actually derived from the colloquial term “lo-ok” which means- in the corner.

It is rooted in significant events in History. For a start, the people of Caloocan had a really strong voice during the Spanish regime. Andres Bonifacio orchestrated the people of Caloocan on a revolution against the Spaniards during 1986. It also went through trails and tribulations trying to defend themselves against next colonizers of the Philippines- the Americans and the Japanese.

Now, however, it is a new day. The Philippines has friendly relations with their previous colonizers. Caloocan, was then made a city last 1961 and is starting to build a brighter future for its people.
