    Brief Historical Background
    The Municipality of Bula is historically one of the first four mission towns of Camarines
    Sur founded by Spanish conquistadores in 1576. Bula was established together with
    Quipayo, Naga and Nabua. However, it was only in 1578 when the natives where
    Christianized, so the National Historical Commission dates back our history to 1578.
    From this historical fact, Bula, whose chosen Saint is St. Mary Magdalene celebrates its
    fiesta every 22nd day of July, which is the birthdate of the Saint.
    Language
    Majority of the people speak the Bula-Pili variant, a lowland dialect (sinaranw) of
    Rinconada Bikol language, also known as Rikonda. The population can also
    understand and speak Tagalog or Filipino language and English.
    Religion
    People of Bula are divided into different Christian sects. Most of the population are
    Roman Catholic and Iglesia ni Cristo members which are the biggest bulk of Bulaeos
    adhering to Christian faith. The rest of population are followers of different Protestant
    denominations.
