Home to the birth of three Republics, the Kakarong Republic (1896), the Biak-na-bato Republic (1897) and the Malolos Republic (1898), Bulacan is also the birthplace of some of the greatest heroes of the Philippine Revolution against Spain. The great Propagandist Marcelo H. Del Pilar, General Gregorio Del Pilar, Anacleto Enriquez, Isidro Torres, Maestro Eusebio Roque, Trinidad Tecson, Mariano Ponce, Maximo Ponce, Maximo Viola and others hail from Bulacan.

Today, Bulacan is noted as the land of noble heroes, progressive cooperatives and small and medium scale enterprises.
