Also known as: Lalawigan ng Bulacan
Bulacan is a province in Region III (Central Luzon). Population 3.71M (PSA 2020 census), 4 cities + 21 municipalities, 569 barangays total, land area 2,796.1 km². Provincial capital: City of Malolos.
Bulacan's PDPFP is dominated by one project: the New Manila International Airport (NMIA) in Bulakan, which will reshape regional land values and traffic patterns from Malolos to NLEX-Bocaue. The province must coordinate aggressive industrial-residential zoning around the airport corridor with the persistent flood plain issues in Calumpit, Hagonoy, and Paombong (parts of these municipalities flood for weeks each rainy season). The northern uplands (Doña Remedios Trinidad, Norzagaray) hold critical Angat-Umiray watershed protection mandates that supply Metro Manila water. The province also coordinates the protection of fish-pen aquaculture in Manila Bay-adjacent municipalities — a politically sensitive interface with national reclamation programs. The Bulacan-Pampanga regional logistics corridor (NLEX-SCTEX-TPLEX) makes warehouse and last-mile development planning a top province-level concern.
Key industries: Manufacturing (food, garment, footwear, jewelry), Logistics + warehousing (NCR overflow), Agribusiness, Construction materials, Aquaculture (Calumpit, Hagonoy)

Bulacan's NMIA-driven multi-LGU coordination is exactly the inter-jurisdictional planning load AIOS dashboards surface. The flood-plain + watershed split (south vs north) is the textbook AIOS multi-overlay case.
