I’m Niko Jhon T. Escueta , 22 years old from San Rafael Tarlac City and I was
born at City of Tarlac . Based on what I’ve read The Tarlac was originally a part of the
provinces of Pampanga and Pangasinan. It was the last Central Luzon province to be
organized under the Spanish administration in 1874. During the Philippine Revolution of
1896, Tarlac was one of the first eight provinces to rise in arms against Spain. It
became the new seat of the first Philippine Republic in March 1899 when Emilio
Aguinaldo abandoned the former capital, Malolos, Bulacan. This lasted only for a
month, as the seat was moved to Nueva Ecija in Aguinaldo's attempt to elude the
pursuing Americans. And as long as I live here I discover the beauty of this place and
as the years goes by, the more I saw the inner beauty of it. Visiting Tarlac is one of the
excellent travel decisions one could make. Why? For one, it is just close to Manila
(around 130 kilometers). Thus, reaching this place will only take about a couple of
hours. The next reason is that Tarlac has a lot of things to offer. If you are after the food,
scenery, history, or whatever it may be that you are looking for, Tarlac has it. Some of it
are, Monasterio de Tarlac. The Monasterio de Tarlac is perhaps one of the most
popular tourist spots in the province. Believers and tourists alike would go to the top of
the mountain to attend mass and enjoy the view from the top. The trees, the city, and
everything your eyes could reach the peak of this place is a beauty to behold. San
Sebastian Cathedral Situated at Barangay Mabini, the San Sebastian Cathedral or also
known as the Tarlac Cathedral holds an impeccable history. Opened after World War II,
this Cathedral has been witnessed to centuries and decades of history.
