About Caloocan
Recipients: Barangay 176, PHASE 1, 3, 4, 9 and 10
Bagong Silang, also known as Barangay 176, is a barangay in Caloocan, Metro Manila, Philippines, notable for being the most populous barangay in the country with 261,729 residents as per the 2020 census. Located in the northern section of Metro Manila, it borders Bulacan province and is known for its significant size and population density. The name “Bagong Silang” translates to “newborn” in English, symbolizing hope for its residents who were relocated from slum areas in Tondo, Manila, Commonwealth in Quezon City, and San Juan.
The recipient families are mostly laborers, factory workers, and tricycle drivers living in congested houses right next to each other. In some cases, there would be 5 families living in one house. Most of them are high school graduates.
