CALUMPIT Bulacan Road Trip No. 17 | Heavy Traffic Alert!

Calumpit is a 1st class municipality in the province of Bulacan, Philippines. It is home to 118,471 people. 
btw, the traffic is caused by projects for repairing elevating the major roads, so it is understandable. :)
Calumpit was already an established "barangay" even before the coming of the Spaniards. It was under the leadership of Gat-Maitim. Agriculture was the main source of livelihood of the people and even today it is part of the town's lifeblood. Calumpit at that time was the center of trade and barter among its neighboring barangays. The Pampanga and the Quingua rivers served as the arteries through which the goods coming in and out of Calumpit passed. This was a factor why Calumpit became a progressive place during that period. The said rivers at present, still serve as arteries for trade and commerce in Calumpit.
Calumpit was derived from the name of the hardwood trees called Calumpit, found abundantly growing in front of the Calumpit Catholic Church. The hardwood was widely used and from then on it was adopted as the town's official name. source: https://bulacan.gov.ph/
