Bulacan Foundation Day, also known as Bulacan Day, is observed in the Philippine province of Bulacan every August 15, commemorating the province’s founding anniversary. The day is marked by various festivities, including a holy mass, a flag-raising ceremony, and a wreath-laying ceremony at the monument of Philippine hero Marcelo H. del Pilar. The celebration highlights Bulacan’s rich history, which dates back to its founding by the Augustinians in 1578 and its significant role during the Philippine Revolution and the establishment of the First Philippine Republic. The province’s name is derived from the Tagalog word “bulak,” referring to the abundance of cotton plants in the area. As a special non-working holiday, the event serves to honor Bulacan’s cultural heritage and historical contributions.
