Calumpit
Spend a half‑day in Calumpit: see the historic church, stroll the market, then head back to Manila or nearby Bulacan towns.
Calumpit is a small historic town in Bulacan, just 45 km north of Manila. Its main attractions cluster near the town centre, making a half‑day visit enough unless you want to linger at the riverside resort.
