Barangay Dalandanan is one of the highly developed barangays in Valenzuela City, Philippines. The namesake of Brgy. Dalandanan came from the impressive line of dalandan trees that used to distinguish the area.
Dalandanan houses the new Valenzuela City Astrodome, Valenzuela Emergency Hospital and Dialysis Center, and Valenzuela City Science High School.
It boasts of different business industries like publishing and printing (JO-ES Publishing House, Inc., Mega-Jesta Prints, Inc.]]), banking and finance (Bank of the Philippine Islands, BDO, Bank of Commerce, and Eastwest Bank), retail (Puregold Valenzuela,Wilcon Depot), pyrotechnic (Victory Fireworks), and biotech and pharmaceuticals (Scheele Laboratories).
The barangay celebrates four fiestas, depending on which area you lived. Catholics near the border of Esteban celebrate the feast of San Roque every May, those in San Simon celebrate the feast of San Pedro in June, Belando residents observe the fiesta of the Sto. Nino in January and those who lived near A. Marcelo hold the feast of the Black Nazarene every January.
The Iglesia ni Cristo Locale of Malinta chapel is also located along Km. 15, MacArthur Highway.
December 21, 2012 marks the yearly LGU Christmas Party. It is also One Valenzuela's first time to visit the Astrodome after it has been recently renovated. One Valenzuela wandered around before the evening program started.
Astrodome: "The City of Valenzuela is committed to its advocacy of providing an avenue for the development of holistic teamwork and self-discipline, through promoting physical education and encouraging sports programs and competitions towards healthy and productive Valenzuelanos." (words seen at the Astrodome entrance)
Two thumbs up for (1) the well-lit name of the sports venue, (2) the comfortable chairs wherein the colors are taken from the Philippine flag, (3) clean comfort room, and (4) good wall color combination. One Valenzuela believes the air conditioning system is soon to follow.
