About Baliwag
Baliwag was carved out of the municipality of Quingua (present-dayPlaridel) in 1733, which used to cover a large area along the Angat River. The town's heritage church is also built in that year. In 1899, Baliwag was the site of the first democratic elections in the Philippines, and in Asia as well. The town is home to Mariano Ponce, also one of the members of the Propaganda Movement led by Jose Rizal, Marcelo del Pilar, and Graciano Lopez-Jaena. Baliwag is the economic and educational center for northern Bulacan, and it has that status since it the Spanish and American colonial periods.
