+ July 21, 2021 WITH travel restrictions slowly being relaxed and vaccination roll-out ramping up, people are starting to make travel plans again.
To showcase travel destinations and cultural highlights in the north, NLEX Corporation recently launched the first leg of its NLEX Lakbay Norte program. This first run was held in historic Bulacan, in cooperation with the Provincial History, Arts, Culture, and Tourism Office (Phacto).
NLEX Lakbay Norte is an annual media familiarization tour that aims to promote and accelerate tourism development in the northern part of the country. As the main gateway to the progressive north, the NLEX-SCTEX expressways provide the safest, most comfortable and efficient way to access the areas like Bulacan.

I am a native son of Bulacan, the town of Sta. Maria to be more specific. So if I seem to be superfluous or excessive in the way I speak about the province, I hope you will forgive me.
There are so many things of interest about this province that can amaze even a true-bred Bulakenyo like me. History, culture, art, cuisine, language, agriculture you will never run out of topics when you dwell on Bulacan.
Many of us are already familiar about Bulacan’s place in our history. This is the birthplace of heroes such as Marcelo H. Del Pilar and Gen. Gregorio del Pilar. This is the site of the three Revolutionary Republics: the Kakarong Republic of 1896, the Biak-na-Bato Republic of 1897, and the Malolos Republic of 1899. I won’t dwell anymore on these historical facts because they have been told already too often.
