Enriching Monasterio De Tarlac in San Jose Tarlac

The Monasterio De Tarlac and this eco-tourism park is located at Barangay Lubigan, San Jose Tarlac. The church is currently holds the only one relic or authentic fragment of the Holy Cross is kept. It's one of the reason why people visit the shrine. Going there is not so easy because you need to bring your own vehicle and there is no public transportation going up to the monastery. That time, I rented a habal-habal cost about P100 pesos for 2 way per person. Thanks to Miss Grace of the Barangay Secretary, Lubigan Barangay Hall for accommodating and facilitate me to recommend Kuya Bert (Driver). You will seeing zigzag road, tall trees and cold wind breeze. So finally, saw a 30 foot statue of the Risen Christ which is remind me of Brazil's Christ the Redeemer stands at the edge of a hill. I took so many photos and roamed around the area. This is located at the top of the mountain. Everyday the church is celebrates solemn masses and open to public. You won't get lost as you will be seeing marker indicating Eco-Tourism Park and going to Monasterio De Tarlac.

Isdaan Floating Resto in Gerona Tarlac - The Half to the North

It was a solo backpacking trip up north when finally made my footstep at the place called "ISDAAN FLOATING RESTO-FUN PARK" and was conceptualized by the owners of Barrio Fiesta. I would expect Filipino foods to be served at their pavilion, then ordered my lunch meal before going to Monasterio De Tarlac about 30-45 minutes away from the city. There are a lot of food selection at their menu board but I picked lechon kawali platter (binalot sa dahon) with mango juice and the food is great and tasty as well. Luckily the place is not crowded that time, you can also dine to their floationg kubo/ gazebos. I enjoyed touring and taking photos in the whole area of the resort, basically the place is relatively safe and secure. For the kids, enjoy free face paint, free balloon, free candy and free fish food. Here's the address: National Road, Mc- Arthur Highway Gerona Tarlac. Contact Number: (045) 491-2219.

Tarlac: Tacsiyapo Wall at Isdaan Floating Resto, Gerona

After eating my fully loaded lunch ( busog meal ) at their restaurant, I immediately went to the famous wall in Isadan Floating Resto-Fun Park and that "Tacsiyapo Wall" or Release your Anger ( Ilabas ang sama ng loob). Does anyone need to release anger? hehehe! I saw this line - For effective release of anger. Just shout "Tacsiyapo" before smashing your plates etc... against the wall. You can buy ceramis and glas mugs, wall clock, television, plates in different size, shape and prize. This Tacsiyapo Wall is almost featured and already seen in more than 20-30 tv shows and channel which is encouraging people to try this kind of activity. Given this attraction I was amazed with the big buddhas and big scuptures. Next post : Isdaan Floating Resto-Fun Park, Gerona Tarlac.
