Bocaue, officially the Municipality of Bocaue, (Tagalog: Bayan ng Bocaue), is a 1st
class municipality in the province of Bulacan, Philippines. According to the 2015 census, it has a
population of 119,675 people.[5]
With the continuous expansion of Metro Manila, the town is now part of the metropolis' built-up area,
which reaches San Ildefonsomunicipality at Bulacan's northernmost part and continues on
into Nueva Ecija province. The Bocaue River runs through most of the town.
Among its tourist attractions are a town museum located near the municipality's center and the
town's river festival celebrated on the first Sunday of every July. The river festival is in
commemoration of the Holy Cross of Wawa, believed to be miraculous by the town's predominating
Roman Catholic populace.
