Bocaue (Filipino: ''Bukawe'', (:boˈkawe)) is a first class urban municipality in the province of Bulacan, Philippines. According to the 2010 census, it has a population of 106,407 people.〔 With the continuous expansion of Metro Manila, the town is now part of the metropolis' built-up area, which reaches San Ildefonso at Bulacan province's northernmost part and continues into Nueva Ecija. There are three road crossings in the town that are heavily congested during the rush hours: Lolomboy, Wakas and Bocaue road crossings. The Bocaue River runs through most of the town. A town museum is located near the municipality's center, and the town's river festival is celebrated on the first Sunday of every July in commemoration of the Holy Cross of Wawa. The Holy Cross of Wawa is believed to be miraculous by the town's predominating Roman Catholic populace. ==Geography== The municipality of Bocaue would be northeast of Manila if reached via the Gen. Douglas MacArthur Highway. It is at the mid-southwestern portion of Bulacan. The town is bounded on the north by the municipality of Balagtas and a portion of the municipality of Santa Maria; by the municipalities of Marilao and Obando on the south; a larger portion of Santa Maria on the east; a portion of the municipality of Bulakan on the extreme southwestern side; and a portion of Balagtas on the western side. Bocaue is traversed by the Bocaue River, a tributary of the Santa Maria River that is in turn a tributary of Angat River. The main source of Angat River and its tributaries is the Sierra Madre mountain range. Along these rivers are many man-made fish ponds used for raising and farming fish like the bangus and tilapia. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bocaue, Bulacan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
