On September 13, 1977, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos issued Presidential Decree No. 1196 creating the municipality of Doña Remedios Trinidad [1]. The largest in Bulacan, it is partially embracing two major portions of the Angat Watershed reservation. Bulacan forest reserve, Biak-na-Bato National Park and 327.3 km² of alienable and disposable public land.
The new municipality covers seven barangays, originally part of Angat, Norzagaray, and San Miguel. These are Pulong Sampaloc and Camachile of Angat; Bayabas and Kabayunan of Norzagaray; Talbac, Camachin and Kalawakan of San Miguel.
The municipality of Dona Remedios Trinidad was created in honor of the late mother of then First Lady, Imelda Romualdez Marcos, who was a pure Bulakeña.
On December 12, 2007, Bulacan and the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) signed an agreement for the development of an P11-billion bulk water supply project.
