Balanga is one of the richest towns in Bataan. Agriculture has always been its chief industry. Fishing also provides a steady source of income, especially for those who lived in barrios near the sea or near the rivers Ogon or Talisay.

And this is especially true for Sibacan and Puerto Rivas. Different establishments have then set up their businesses here. Now, Balanga is a booming municipality being the center of trade and industry, and the seat of government in Bataan.
