Its importance is noteworthy in that the world’s most loved Holy Pope John Paul II formed the new Diocese of Caloocan and advanced it to the prestige of a Cathedral Church on June 28, 2003.

You might be nosy about where the first train trip was done in 1892. You can head to Philippine National Railways where you will also spot the Horace Higgins Hall at the end curve of C. Apostol and M. Hizon streets. The hall was linked to significant historical happenings and powerful foreign architectural impact. Giving much pride to Caloocan resident is its Tala Leprosarium that’s famed as the most aged leprosy hospital in Asia established in 1940.
