Years ago, I am already familiar with this red bricked structure but never knew this is an old train station until someone from a social media group mentioned about this. The Meycauayan Old Train Station was a part of the Manila-Dagupan Railroad, the first rail line in the country.
The construction of the rail line started at 1887 and was finished at 1892. There were many stations that constituted the Manila-Dagupan Railroad, Tutuban being the first and Dagupan being the last. The Meycauayan Station served as the first station for the railroad system in the province of Bulacan. After going to the compound of St. Andrew Kim Shrine, I went to Poblacion, Baliuag to see one of the most oldest church in Bulacan. After taking a merienda at a market, in front of Joners, I rode a jeep going to Bocaue crossing and rode a tricycle to Poblacion, Bocaue.
Bocaue, Bulacan...known as the "Fireworks Capital of the Philippines" There is more to fireworks --> I should say. So in order to prove that, I went there and see for myself what is to discover. April 23, 2015: Went to Bocaue. It is relatively near from my hometown. From Meycauayan I will pass by the municipality of Marilao then after is the municipality of Bocaue. Sa araw na ito, ako ay nagtungo sa San Miguel Isa sa mga dahilan kung bakit gusto kong maglakbay mag-isa ay sa kadahilanan na ang tanging responsibilidad ko lamang ay ang aking sarili. Ika-16 ng Abril nang unang beses akong makarating sa bayan ng San Miguel.
Upang maging sulit ang araw, napagdesisyunan ko na umakyat ng bundok, pumasok sa loob ng kweba, at kung ano man ang ihandog na karanasan sa akin ng kapalaran ngayong araw. At oo, ako ay nasasabik. Kahit na ako ay naturang tiga-Bulacan, hindi ako masyadong nagagawi sa malalayong bayan ng Bulacan sapagkat mas malapit ang aking bayan sa kalakhang Maynila. |
