Victory Liner Caloocan Terminal

Caloocan City is one of the highly urbanized cities in Luzon, where it is subdivided into two congressional districts, the Caloocan City North and South. This city is situated at the northern part of Metro Manila. Based on the latest National Census it placed the 4th largest city of the country, in terms of population, where there are approximately 1.4 million residents, and based on the land area, it ranked 2nd as the largest city in Metro Manila. Tricycles are the main mode of transportation in the area, though these vehicles are small yet it is very affordable. On the other hand, jeepneys also ply the city based on their respective routes. The City is also well known for drop off points for buses coming off from the northern provinces with Victory Liner and other coaches have their major terminals. Former Mayors who have contributed to the growth of the city such as Mayor Asistio and Rey Malonzo should also be credited and mentioned worthwhile.

The famous landmark of Caloocan City is the Bonifacio Monument which is located at the intersection of EDSA and Rizal Avenue . This monument is famous as it carries with it the work of a nationalist, Guillermo Tolentino, not to forget that the monument honors the first encounter of the revolutionary group, the Katipunan, lead by Andres Bonifacio, one of the country’s hero. Also a famous landamrk is MCU, a university which the name is embedded on all jeepneys plying the routes.
In the city, you can also find the Gubat as Ciudad Resort where several swimming pools and other water facilities for the whole family are offered.
