Topic: Bulan, Sorsogon


  
  Local Government Unit: Municipality of Bulan
The growth of Bulan as a town, however, would be arrested as it began to suffer from the pressures of intense Moro raids in Sorsogon which lasted up to the middle of the 19th century.
While Bulan was spared the bloody turmoil of the 1896 Revolution, the Spanish Provincial Government undertook measures to preempt revolutionary activities in the towns, and placed under surveillance all persons suspected of bearing sympathy to the revolutionary cause.
Through the years, Bulan was able to withstand the tests of time, thanks to the resiliency and grace of her people.
