A Delightful Duality Thrives North of Metro Manila
The city that is Caloocan is unique in all the Philippines in that it has a northern enclave that is not contiguous with its south. With the creation of Quezon City way back in 1939, several barrios where annexed from Caloocan. This happened again in 1948, splitting the city into two separate and distant components.
Caloocan offers another interesting duplexity in that, aside from having a separate north and south, it is also a fascinating pairing of peaceful residential suburbs with fast-moving industrial and commercial stretches, making it ideal for living, working, and the entertainments necessary to live a full life. Nestled in the north of Metro Manila, the highly urbanized metropolis is home to over 1.6 million people making it the fourth most populous city in the country. Fortunately, it is also the largest city in Metro Manila, sprawled over a massive five thousand hectares… and counting.
Caloocan also seems to have the ability to eloquently meld two opposing world views: a deeply historical and traditional past and a progressive dynamism. While often addressed as “The Historic City of Caloocan,” it is also a crucial center of brisk economic growth in the NCR.
Yet, however steeped in yesterday Caloocan may seem, the city continues to move forward with massive growth, as seen in the rise of industrial estates and manufacturing plants, commercial centers, and key transit points that connect Luzon’s north and south, including the LRT Line 1.
Perched on the edge of Metro Manila’s northern border––Southern Caloocan lies north of Manila while Northern Caloocan is Metro Manila’s northernmost territory. Caloocan is ideally located for travel beyond the NCR’s borders, particularly to the provinces up north. Living in Caloocan allows access to a lifestyle Filipinos dream of ––the same kind enjoyed in key cities across the globe
