Caloocan Cathedral, known canonically as San Roque Cathedral-Parish, is the cathedral or seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Kalookan, located near the intersection of 10th Avenue and A. Mabini Street in Poblacion, Caloocan, Metro Manila, Philippines. The church is located some meters away from the poblacion or central vicinity of the city. Its present parish priest is Pablo Virgilio S. David, D.D., the Roman Catholic Bishop of Kalookan, and its rector is Jeronimo Maria J. Cruz, V.G. The cathedral is dedicated Saint Roch, known as San Roque in the Philippines.

The battle of Caloocan was one of the opening engagements of the Philippine–American War, and was fought between a U.S. force under the command of Arthur MacArthur Jr. and Filipino defenders commanded by Antonio Luna in 1899. American troops launched a successful attack on the Filipino-held settlement of Caloocan on February 10, which was part of an offensive planned by MacArthur Jr. Coming soon after an American victory near Manila just a few days prior, the battle once again demonstrated the military superiority enjoyed by U.S. forces over Filipino troops, yet it was not the decisive strike that MacArthur had hoped for, and the war continued to rage on for another three years. From 1896 to 1898, Filipino revolutionaries waged an armed revolution against Spanish colonial rule. Despite providing assistance to the revolutionaries, the United States decided to annex the Philippines in the 1898 Treaty of Paris. On February 4, American troops fired on a Filipino detachment, sparking a war between the U.S. and the Philippine Republic. In the following days, American commanders in the region made plans to attack Caloocan. On February 10, American forces launched a three-hour bombardment of the settlement; immediately afterwards, a large U.S. force advanced towards Caloocan. Aided by a surprise attack, the American forces successfully stormed the city. The capture of Caloocan placed sections of the Manila-Dagupan Railroad along with large amounts of rolling stock into the hands of U.S. forces. However, as the majority of Filipino forces were able to retreat intact and were soon able to regroup elsewhere, the battle did not have the decisive impact that American commanders had initially hoped for. On February 22, Filipino forces launched an attack on American positions on Manila, but were forced to withdraw after two days of fighting. Later, allegations that U.S. forces had summarily executed Filipino prisoners of war during the battle were investigated by a Senate Committee on the Philippines, which chose not to pursue the matter further.

10th Avenue station (also called Asistio Avenue station) is a railway station located on the North Main Line in Caloocan, Metro Manila, Philippines, near the original Caloocan railway station. The station was meant to be a part of a revived commuter rail system, built during the term of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. After being constructed, no services to this station were ever provided until August 1, 2018, when it was opened for the Caloocan-Dela Rosa shuttle line. The northbound line is temporarily dismantled to give way for further works in NLEX Segment 10.1, and is currently a temporary single-line track. It was the terminus of said line until the clearing and recondition of the rails in the Caloocan station at Samson Road finished. The line has since been upgraded to terminate at FTI station, with this station no longer the terminus since September 10. Due to nearly a decade of disuse since its construction, the station has been weathered and its gate barriers no longer functioning. It did not have running electricity until shortly after its reactivation. The gate barriers for the northbound street was made functional again along with its alarm horns thereafter.

5th Avenue station (also called C-3 station) is a railway station located on the North Main Line in Caloocan, Metro Manila, Philippines. Facilities such as ramps and platforms were planned to be constructed near the level crossing with C-3 Road. The plans to rehabilitate this part of PNR's network were implemented but no concrete platforms were erected. PNR opened the 5th Avenue station as part of Caloocan-Dela Rosa line on August 1, 2018. It is a brand new stop for the line as it was not a designated station before in the line's history. As there are no platforms yet being erected, temporary stairs for the trains are added in the meantime to facilitate loading and unloading. The new elevated expressway for NLEX Harbor Link is located immediately beside the railway station, with neighboring houses demolished for the construction, reducing the rail tracks to 1. A further extension will be covered by the NLEX Connector project, currently under construction.
