Bula is famous for the rich supply and abundance of bamboo, known as one of the fastest-growing plants in the world – thus the creation of Bamboo festival here. Its economic significance was evident in the line of bamboo furniture makers along the Maharlika highway.

Mayor Rolando N. Canet has enjoined cooperation of every sector to be a part of the celebration as they take pride in celebrating their festival in this opportune time when the town of Bula rises behind new achievements for new and productive changes.
“After more than a year that the new mandate has been entrusted to us, in leading a responsive, new leadership to our constituents, it is only appropriate to give back and express our gratitude to God for all the blessings bestowed upon us through the intercession of Mary Magdalene.”
Canet also stated that it is not important that these accomplishments are enumerated but to ensure that the constituents can see, feel and experience these tangible changes.

Bula, according to history, is among the towns in Camarines Sur founded by the Spanish conquistadores when they arrived in Bicol after their sojourn from Visayas in 1576. Other areas include Naga City, Quipayo, Calabanga and Nabua. (MAL/LSM-PIA5/CamSur)
