1st BULACAN MARATHON: Running in the Land of Heroic Generals

Bulacan is a province of patriotic Filipinos. Arguably, it can be said that Bulacan  is the cradle of Philippine nationalism for after all the First Philippine Republic was established in Malolos back in 1898. Likewise, the Malolos Constitution, the first republican constitution in all of Asia, was drafted and ratified in Bulacan.      Bulacan  was one of the first 8  provinces to take arms against the Spanish colonizers in 1896.  Given this, Bulacan is also a province with its more than fair share of heroic generals who fought for Philippine independence.  In Wikipedia, there is a compendium of Filipino generals who fought during the Philippine revolution, Filipino-American War and the post-war insurgencies, and on that list, Bulacan  has 16 native sons of the 166 listed. Indeed, Bulacan the Land of Heroic Generals.

Halfway thru the full mary  route, as I near yet another hydration station resplendent with bountiful fruits and snacks and the fabled smile of Boholano volunteers, I figured already how the Bicolano Penguin (BP) will write about the 2023 Bohol International Marathon (BIM). I shall write about it by describing it in terms of the B.O.H.O.L. acronym. 

BEAUTIFUL.  ORGANIZED.  HOSPITABLE.  & OVER sa LECHON.
