Arkong Bato is one of the constituent barangays in the city of Valenzuela, Metro Manila, Philippines.
Arkong Bato is a historical barangay named after the famous stone arch landmark on Marcelo H. Del Pilar Street that demarcates its boundary with Barangays Panghulo and Santolan in Malabon.[1] The notable stone arch was built by the Americans in 1910, originally as a boundary marker between Rizal and Bulacan provinces, which Malabon and Valenzuela were once part of, respectively.[2]
Residents celebrate the Sta. Cruz fiesta every 3rd Sunday of May.[2]
Some of the landmarks of the barangay include the Arkong Bato Chapel and the statue of Delfin Belilia Navarese at Navarette Street.
