Bocaue

Bocaue ( Filipino : Bukawe , Tagalog pronunciation: [boˈkawe] ) is a first class urban municipality in the province of Bulacan in the Philippines . According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 119,675. [4] With the continuous expansion of Metro Manila , the town is now part of the metropolis' built-up area , which reaches San Ildefonso municipality at Bulacan's northernmost part and continues on into Nueva Ecija province. Three road crossings in the municipality are heavily congested during the rush hours: Lolomboy, Wakas, and Bocaue road crossings. The Bocaue River runs through most of the town. Among its tourist attractions are a town museum located near the municipality's center and the town's river festival celebrated on the first Sunday of every July. The river festival is in commemoration of the Holy Cross of Wawa, believed to be miraculous by the town's predominating Roman Catholic populace. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bocaue,_Bulacan
