NUEVA ECIJA

Nueva Ecija was named by the Spanish

colonizers after the city of Ecija, Spain.
Its indigenous names, such as
Pinagpanaan, meaning the place where
the arrow hit – defining the precolonial
artistry in archery in the area, were
abolished and changed by the
government during the post-colonial
period after World War II, sparking
outrage from scholars and indigenous
communities. Nevertheless, the name-
change of some municipalities into
colonial names during the post-colonial
period was continued by the national government.

Festivals and Attractions

Taong Putik Festival of Aliaga At the crack of dawn, scores of mud-covered, barely dressed
devotees make their appearance, asking for alms and candles from the town folks. This
practice mimics a biblical myth about St. John the Baptist, who was said to have done the
same thing in his lifetime. A special mass culminates the occasion, reinforcing its spiritual
nature to the people of Aliaga.
Holy Week Rituals of Puncan The unique Holy Week rites of Puncan, one of the oldest towns
in Nueva Ecija, are woven in folklore. Aside from the differing dialect, Pangasinense, widely
used in Puncan, its distinct Lenten rituals include a hide-and-seek routine between the
“Flagellante” and “Hudyo,” a children’s parade, and a choreographed version of Christian
penitential rites in which participants with charcoal-smeared faces beat bamboos.
Minalungao Park Declared as a national park, it features a breathtaking view of the narrow
but deep Penaranda River. On both sides of the riverbank are 16-meter-high limestone
walls. The ridge formation of white sculptured limestone walls shows the might of the great
river.
Gabaldon Falls The lure of Gabaldon, Nueva Ecija, located within the 200-hectare Sabani
Estate Agricultural College. The ten-feet falls are surrounded by huge rock formations and
rippling ice-cold water.

TARLAC

Tarlac is the most multicultural of the Central

Luzon provinces. A mixture of four distinct
groups – the Pampangos, Ilocanos,
Pangasinenses and Tagalogs – share this
province and living together resulted in offering to
the visitors the best cuisine of the places where
their ancestors had come from, namely Bulacan,
Nueva Ecija, Zambales, Pangasinan and the
Ilocos Region. Tarlac is also best known for its
fine foods and vast sugar and rice plantations.
That it has fine cooking to offer is largely due to
the fact that it is the melting pot of Central
Luzon. Its myriad of historical sites, fine foods, vast sugar and rice plantations, and a
beautifully landscaped golf course plus so many other attractions all make the province of
Tarlac one of the best places to visit in Central Luzon.
