Obando, officially the Municipality of Obando (Tagalog: Bayan ng Obando), is a municipality in the province of Bulacan, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 59,978 people.[3]

History

Obando was likely originally called "Binuwangan" according to 18th century maps. In the 1734 map of the Philippine islands by Pedro Murillo Velarde, the places labeled "Vinuangan", "Polo" (currently Valenzuela), and "Maycauayan" were indicated separately and proximate to one another.

Historical marker created by the National Historical Commission in 1973 to commemorate the town

In the 18th century, the present-day town of Obando formed part of Meycauayan, alongside the present-day cities of Valenzuela (formerly Polo) and San Jose del Monte. The towns of Polo and Obando formed a barrio called Catanghalan. In the year 1623, the municipality of Polo was organized which included the present-day territories of the Town of Obando. By virtue of a decree promulgated during the time of Governor and Captain General of the Archipelago, Francisco Jose de Obando y Solis, the town was created and separated from its mother town Polo on May 14, 1753. Upon the Governor's untimely death at the hands of the British during the Seven Years' War, the creation and establishment of the town was made and attended by the Alcalde Mayor of the province, Don Francisco Morales y Mozabe, the Provincial Minister, S. Gregorio, Rev. Fr. Alejandro Ferrer, together with numerous religious devotees. The minister who was chosen to administer the town was Rev. Fr. Manuel De Olivencia. On October 8, 1903, Obando merged with Polo by virtue of Act No. 932.[5]

In 1907, Obando was made an independent town of Bulacan.[6] Then through the untiring efforts of municipal officials, a portion of Gasak Navotas was reclaimed to form a part of Obando. The municipal officials, believing that this portion was once a part of the municipality but was adopted by Navotas in the course of time, effortlessly pushed through its claim to regain the area. The concerted action of all those concerned paid off when on January 30, 1975, by virtue of Presidential Decree No. 646, a portion of approximately 1.78 square kilometers of Gasak, Navotas was returned to Obando. This is mostly fishpond and sandy beach and expected that when fully developed, it would serve as a tourist attraction. By resolution of 1975 Municipal Council, the area was made into a barangay and named Nuestra Señora de Salambao in honor of one of its patron saints.[7]

Geography

Obando is bordered by Valenzuela to the east, Navotas and Malabon to the south, Bulakan to the north, and the waters of Manila Bay to the west. It is 16 kilometers (9.9 mi) away from the Philippine capital Manila and is part of Manila's conurbation which reaches San Ildefonso in its northernmost part.[7]

Flat and low-lying coastal plains characterize the general topography of Obando. The area was formerly an estuary, but it filled up partially from the peripheral parts of sand bars and sand spits and formed up into the current area that mainly consists of a commercial district, partly industrial district, residential area and fishpond. Within the municipality are two rivers and three creeks, namely the Meycauayan River in the north, the Pinagkabalian River in the south, and Paco Creek, Hulo Creek and Pag-asa Creek traversing the town parallel to the provincial road.[7]

Obando, just like the other towns of Bulacan, has two pronounced seasons: dry and wet. The wet season is from May to October and the dry season is from November to April. The rainfall of the wet season accounts for about 80% of the annual rainfall, which is due to monsoons and typhoons.[7]

Barangays

Obando is politically subdivided into 11 barangays. Each barangay consists of 7 puroks and some have sitios. There are 8 urban and 3 rural barangays.

Barangays Binuangan (ancient "Binwangan" mentioned on the Laguna Copperplate Inscription, which is the oldest written document of Philippines inscribed in Indianized script, dating back to 900 CE) and Salambao are located along the Paliwas River, and can be reached only by means of motorized boats.[7]
