Built in 1572,the St. John the Baptist Church is the oldest church in Bulacan. Constructed under the supervision of Augustinian priest Diego Vivar - Ordonez,the church has been a mute witness to the Filipinos' struggle against Spanish,American and Japanese rule. Inside the church is a tunnel that,as legend would have it,was used by priests during the Spanish regime to keep gold,religious statues and ornate jewelry hidden from the sight of treasure hunters. It is the birthplace of Christianity in the province.
How to get there:
All buses bound for the northern parts of Luzon pass through Bulacan.
