Location

Bulacnin is one of the most productive barangays in Lipa City. It is bounded by barangay Tanguay and Tibig on the west, barangay Pusil and Paligawan on the east, barangay Malabanan on the north and barangay Maraouy on the south.

History

This barangay used to be known as Kay Magtago because at the time of the Spaniard invasions, many people made this place their hideout. In Filipino (Batangueno), kay means you and magtago means to hide.

Folk etymology

According to some old people living here, there was a house on this barangay long ago. Many people were cooking rice for their dinner. A Spaniard was spying on them. The Spaniard had no idea of where he was. Suddenly, an old woman said that bumubulak na ang kanin. It meant that the rice is almost cooked. The Spaniard did not really understand what the old woman said. He thought that it was bumulak kanin. He thought that it was the name of the Barangay. After that, this barangay was named bulacanin, then it was changed to Bulacnin.
