Marilao, officially the Municipality of Marilao (Tagalog: Bayan ng Marilao), is a 1st class municipality in the province of Bulacan, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 254,453 people. [3]
With the continuous expansion of Metro Manila, the municipality is part of Manila's built-up area which reaches San Ildefonso on its northernmost part. Marilao is 22 kilometres (14 mi) from Manila and 23 kilometres (14 mi) from Malolos City.
History[]
Long before the establishment as an independent town, Marilao traces its origin as little as a barrio. It was initially a barrio of its neighboring town Meycauayan and the Franciscan missionaries from Meycauayan built a visita (chapel) dedicated to Saint Michael the Archangel.
Marilao is a short for Maria de la O, or the Pregnant Virgin of Expectation, a devotion popularized by Franciscan missionaries throughout Spain's colonies, and also by Spaniards leaving Spain from the port of San Lucar de Barrameda, in Cadiz of the Andalucia region. The church of Santa Maria de la O in Cadiz was associated closely with the family of the Duke of Medina Sidonia, the oldest and highest dukedom title just under that of the royal family, and a supporter of the Franciscan order.
Marilao, just like Pangil, a town in Laguna, Philippines, was under the stewardship of the Franciscan order.
On April 21, 1796, the Barrio of Marilao was established as a pueblo as approved by the Alcalde Mayor of Bulacan and the Franciscan friars of Meycauayan, with the approval of Archbishop of Manila, the visita of San Miguel Arcangel became a town church where Padre Vicente de Talavera served as its parish priest. In 1913, Marilao completely became an independent town.[citation needed]

Pollution and flooding[]
In 2007, Marilao, along with neighboring Meycauayan, share a slot in the list of the world's 30 most polluted places in the developing world drawn up by a private New York-based institute. In its report, “The World’s Worst Polluted Places” for 2007, the Blacksmith Institute said: “Industrial waste is haphazardly dumped into the Meycauayan, Marilao and Obando River system, a source of drinking and agricultural water supplies for the 250,000 people living in and around”[8] the Meycauayan-Marilao area.
Marilao is also notorious for frequent flooding during the monsoon season. A section of MacArthur Highway near SM City Marilao is in particular, prone to floods.[9]
