Issues Part edit
Dont post issues here that has no proper source (i.e. Documents, Books, etc.). This is an encyclopedia article. Put only information with adequate sourcing.
Again, we need concrete proofs (documents, books, even websites) to even claim that this facts are indeed true. I will delete that part until further sources.
Bulacan, Bulacan edit
Please do not rename the article without first providing a link to an official website, a government act renaming the municipality, or other valid links stating that the municipality has indeed been renamed as Bulakan with a K. A facebook page is hardly a valid site.
Kindly refer to the ff websites:

Bulacan, Bulacan → Bulakan – Following the new ordinance changing the municipality's spelling to Bulakan with a 'k' as reflected in its official seal, its municipal hall and welcome sign. RioHondo (talk) 17:17, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
- Support as per linked PDF ordinance. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 20:02, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
- Comment. I had always thought that "Bulakan" is the Tagalog name while "Bulacan" is the English name for both the town and the province, similar to "Kalookan"/"Caloocan". It appears that the linked provincial ordinance is fixing the name to be unambiguous in both languages. For example, because the town seal is written in Tagalog, this evidence won't hold for the English Wikipedia. However, the seal does state in Tagalog "Lalawigan ng Bulacan" (emphasis added) which definitely implies that the "k"/"c" difference is not based on language but is rather meant to distinguish the town from the province. —seav (talk) 00:07, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
- Question: Shouldn't "renamings" be subject to a plebiscite? Also, when I was a longtime resident of Bulacan (province), the way to distinguish the town was by saying "Bulacan, Bulacan". Even jeepney signs attest(ed) to this. –HTD 14:50, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
- Things have changed apparently, and resident users here have notified me regarding this with their move attempts and changes to text and map last year. Although it looks unofficial, the municipal website www.bulakan.zxq.net also carries this new spelling. I think our role here in WP is to just copy from these LGUs. --RioHondo (talk) 03:59, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
- Support. Based on news articles, it seems that the k/c difference is already quite established and well used in reliable source other than the local government. Case in point: "...Maysantol village in Bulakan town in Bulacan province"[1] —seav (talk) 01:17, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
- The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Correction of names edit
Please do check the spelling of the newly elected municipal councilors, especially at the main data. The name Ana Marie Pagsibigan is misspelled as Pagsibagan. It should be Pagsibigan. Thank you. Joejow (talk) 13:01, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
