Caloocan
Lungsod ng Caloocan – a 1st class highly urbanized city
The official name of Caloocan is the City of Caloocan (Tagalog: Lungsod ng Caloocan).
It’s a 1st-class city in Manila, Philippines. The 2020 census reports 1,661,584 residents. It’s the Philippines’ fourth-largest city. Caloocan’s two areas cover 5,333.40 hectares (13,179.1 acres). It was part of Rizal Province in southern Luzon, Philippines. CAMANAVA, Malabon, Navotas, and Valenzuela are included.
Manila, Quezon City, Malabon, Navotas, and Valenzuela are nearby. It’s a highly urbanized central business district and major urban center in Northern Manila because it has business, industrial, and residential areas. North Caloocan borders Quezon City, Valenzuela, Marilao, Meycauayan, and San Jose del Monte in Bulacan, and Rodriguez in Rizal. It’s mostly residential subdivisions and resettlement areas, with a few industrial estates at road transit points and intersections.
Lungsod ng Caloocan Etymology
“Lungsod ng Caloocan” derives from “lo-ok” “Kalook-lookan” means “innermost” Sometimes written as Kalookan.
People spell the city’s name differently. The municipal board required all city departments to use “Kalookan” in the 1970s. This led to misspellings and name confusion. The resolution could not be implemented when martial law was declared in September 1972. Aurora Asistio-Henson, a councilwoman in 1988, filed Resolution No. 006 to change the previous resolution. She wanted to promote Filipino nationalism by requiring all city offices and businesses to spell Kalookan. “Filipinized spelling” captures the city’s history, says Henson. She says it should be used “in city hall, barangay halls, public markets, and other places” Citizens, business owners, and city officials opposed the spelling change. Former congressman and mayor Virgilio Robles said the move was illegal without congressional approval. He said the city’s charter says “Caloocan.” Despite a city ordinance, most people spell Caloocan, not Kalookan. Many city businesses use different spellings due to confusion. The city’s logo and many barangays, public and private schools spell it “Caloocan,” while DPC, based in Makati, prefers “Kalookan” and HYDN Publishing, based in Mandaluyong, prefers “Caloocan.”
History of Lungsod ng Caloocan
Originally, Tondo and Tambobong met in Caloocan. On the west side of the Dagat-Dagatan lagoon. The Spanish called the coastal settlement “Espina” A narrow ridge from Tondo to Kinabutasan separated it from Manila Bay.
Aromahan fishermen moved to a hill east of Dagat-Dagatan by the end of the 1700s. This rocky hill was called “Kaloogan,” which meant “interior territory” in Tagalog (synonymous with “loob” or “inside”). In Tagalog phonetics, the “g” sound could have changed to a “k” sound (e.g., baksak to bagsak). Mistreated Tondo residents moved to this hilltop. By 1802, it had replaced Aromahan as the community’s center. East was a huge cogon-filled area. In old Tagalog, “Kalaanan” meant “flat grassland.” Now called “Grace Park.”
Caloocan separated from Tondo in 1815. Original territory included Marikina, San Mateo, and Montalban foothills to the east, Tinajeros, Tanza, and Tala rivers to the north, Pasig, San Juan del Monte, San Francisco del Monte, Sampalok, Santa Cruz, and Tondo to the south, and Dagat-dagatan and Aromahan to the west. The local government building was built above Libis Espina. A new church replaced the old Aromahan chapel in front of the town hall. To avoid the Spanish, many locals fled to Balintawak and Pugad-Lawin. Nearly a century was spent fighting Hacienda de Maysilo’s landlords for land rights.
Katipunan, a secret militant group that started the Philippine Revolution when Spain ruled, did most of its work in Caloocan. Andrés Bonifacio and his men held secret meetings in Caloocan, and the first armed battle took place on the city’s outskirts. A revolution began after Andres Bonifacio’s “Cry of Balintawak” on August 30, 1896.
In 1899, Caloocan residents didn’t want to make peace with Americans who wanted to rule the country more. Caloocan residents fought invaders on February 23, 1899. Antonio Luna fought Emilio Aguinaldo’s loyalists, so the local troops lost. During the Philippine–American War, Caloocan was the site of two battles.
Caloocan, formerly part of Manila, became a municipality of Rizal in 1901. Before that, it was in Manila. Novaliches, a separate municipality in 1903, merged with Caloocan. Act 942 was changed by Acts 984 and 1008.
President Manuel L. Quezon merged Caloocan with Manila and Quezon City to form Greater Manila in 1942.
On August 1, 1945, when Greater Manila was dissolved, it became a Rizal municipality again.
Cityhood
After Republic Act No. 3278 was passed by the Philippine Congress in 1961, a vote of the people was held. On February 16, 1962, Caloocan was officially made a city.
By Presidential Decree No. 824, Caloocan became a part of the National Capital Region, or Metro Manila, on November 7, 1975. Before that, it was a city in the province of Rizal.
Territorial changes
Caloocan used to cover a much bigger, connected area. Caloocan used to include the areas of Balintawak, La Loma, and Novaliches. Balintawak is a historic district because the “Cry of Pugad Lawin” (Unang Sigaw sa Balintawak) first happened there. It happened at a place called “Kang-kong” near Tandang Sora’s house. Novaliches was a large area with some hills that served as places for Andrés Bonifacio and the Katipunan to meet and hide.
By the 1920s, several cities and towns had joined together. According to Act No. 942, as amended by Acts Nos. 984 and 1008 of the Philippine Commission, Caloocan took over the nearby town of Novaliches. This made its total area about 1,500 hectares (3,700 acres). When Commonwealth Act No. 502 made Quezon City in 1939, Bagubantay (Bago Bantay), Balintauac (Balintawák), Balingasa, Kaingin, Kangkong (now Apolonio Samson), La Loma, Malamig, Matalahib (now Santo Domingo), Masambong, Galas, San Isidro, San José, San Instead of fighting the move, the people of Caloocan gave the land willingly because they thought it would help the new capital city.
But in 1949, the boundary between Caloocan and Quezon City was changed by Republic Act No. 392.
The barrios of Baesa, Sangandaan, Talipapa, San Bartolomé, Pasong Tamó, Novaliches Proper (poblacion), Banlat (present-day Tandang Sora), Kabuyao, Pugad Lawin, Bagbag, and Pasong Putik, which used to be part of Novaliches and covered about 8,100 hectares (20,000 acres), were taken away from Caloocan. The part of Novaliches that is still there is now called North Caloocan. This made Caloocan into two parts: the south, which is more built up, and the north, which became more suburban and rural.
Geography of Lungsod ng Caloocan
Caloocan is split into two separate areas that are a total of 53.334 square meters (574.08 square feet) in size. With an area of 13.625 square meters (146.66 square feet), South Caloocan is surrounded by Manila to the south, Quezon City to the east, and Malabon, Navotas, and Valenzuela to the north-northwest. With an area of 39,709 square meters (427,42 square feet), North Caloocan is surrounded by Quezon City to the south and southeast, Valenzuela to the southwest, Marilao, Meycauayan, and San Jose del Monte in the province of Bulacan to the north, and Rodriguez in the province of Rizal to the northeast.
Topography
Most businesses and factories are in South Caloocan, which is mostly flat and easy to get to. The slopes there range from 0 to 3 percent. Along the North Luzon Expressway, the land goes from being flat to gently to moderately sloping to rolling, with slopes ranging from 3% to 18%. In this area, the highest point is 35.00 meters (114.83 ft) above mean sea level, and the lowest point is about 0.993 meters (3 ft 3.1 in) above mean sea level in the southern part of Dagat-Dagatan.
In the northern and central parts of North Caloocan, the land is mostly gently to steeply undulating or rolling, with slopes between 3 and 18%. As you move south, the land becomes flatter and flatter until you reach the southwestern boundary. Many industrial and residential subdivisions have been built on this nearly level land because it is close to major roads.
Geology
The two parts of Caloocan have different types and features of rock formations. They are called quaternary alluvium, tuff and tuffaceous sediment, pyroclastic flow deposit, and conglomerates, to be more specific. The quaternary alluvium is a formation that covers most of South Caloocan and most of the eastern half of Metropolitan Manila. It is made up of unconsolidated sediments like sand, silt, clay, and gravel that were left behind by rivers.
Large areas of tuff and tuffaceous sediment can be found to the east of South Caloocan, where they spread out to cover the whole eastern side of Metropolitan Manila.
The northern edges of South Caloocan and most of North Caloocan also have pyroclastic flow deposits or igneous rocks made by the solidification of ash flow. Conglomerate rocks were found along the northeast edges of North Caloocan. They crossed Tala Estate and went all the way to the province of Bulacan and the La Mesa Watershed.
The soil in both parts of Caloocan is mostly from the Novaliches Series, which makes up 96% of the city’s total land area. The Novaliches Series is made up of reddish-brown soil that is crumbly and has small grains. In the subsoil, there are spherical concretions, and under them is tuffaceous material that has broken down and weathered to different degrees. In some places, a lot of erosion has exposed tuffaceous material.
Surface drainages
There are creeks and rivers on the surface of the land in Caloocan, as well as waterways that were built to drain water away from the land. South Caloocan has about 5.0 km (3.1 mi) of open drainage canals that mostly serve the Kaunlaran Village reclamation area (Dagat-Dagatan Development Project), as well as about 11.3 km (7.0 mi) of natural surface water flowing through different natural river systems. These include the Tinajeros-Tullahan River, which runs along the border between Caloocan and Valenzuela, Maligaya Creek, which runs through La Loma Cemetery and crosses Rizal Avenue Extension, Casili Creek, which ends in Estero de Maypajo, and Cantarilla/Panaca Creek, which runs along the border between Caloocan and Malabon. All of the water on the surface in North Caloocan comes from natural streams. The Meycauayan-Marilao River, which runs through both Caloocan and Bulacan, is the longest of these. Other waterways in the city are the Bagong Silang River, Tala, Camarin, Pasong Malapad, and Bagumbong Creeks, which run through several subdivisions and total 52.7 km (32.7 mi) in length.

Barangays
At the moment, there are 188 barangays in Caloocan, which are split into 3 legislative districts. The 1st District is made up of 59 barangays. These are South Caloocan’s Barangays 1–4, 77–85, 132–164, and North Caloocan’s Barangays 165–177. The 2nd District is made up of 118 barangays. Barangays 5–76 and 86–131 are all in South Caloocan and are all part of the 2nd District. The 3rd District was made in 2021. It has 11 North Caloocan barangays that used to be in the 1st District. These are barangays 178 to 188.
The city’s barangays are run by a hybrid system, and the city is further split into 16 zones. Only the cities of Manila, Pasay, and Caloocan in Metro Manila have what are called “Zone Systems.” A group of barangays in a district is called a zone. Even though a zone is a subdivision of a local government unit, the people do not vote for a leader for the zone like they do for barangay or local elections. This is because the system is only used for statistics. Also, all barangays have the numbers that go with them, but only a few, mostly in the north, have the names that go with them. But the names of barrios and districts do not always match up with the borders of barangays. Barangays in the south of Caloocan are smaller than those in the north.
In 1989, Republic Act No. 6714 said that the 70 barangays that made up the first congressional district of Caloocan should be cut down to 30 barangays, and the 118 barangays that made up the second congressional district of Caloocan should also be cut down to 30 barangays. In the vote that came after, it’s likely that it lost.
With 246,515 people, or 16% of the total population of Caloocan, Barangay 176, also known as Bagong Silang, is the most populated barangay in the country.
This was because, since the 1970s, there has been a steady flow of families living informally through relocation programs. Residents have asked for the Bagong Silang to be split into seven separate barangays because of this. [29]
In 1957, the sitio of Bagbaguin was separated from the barrio of Caybiga (Kaybiga) and turned into a separate barrio called barrio Bagbaguin.
