Nueva Ecija

Submitted by mads on Sun, 02/20/2022 - 00:11
Description

 

The landlocked province of Nueva Ecija has made it conducive for growing rice - so much so that it has been dubbed the "rice granary of the Philippines". Its landscape, composed of vast plains with gradual hills leading up to the Sierra Madre, Caraballo and Cordillera Central mountain ranges, is also conducive for off-road adventures. Discover the Dupinga River, Gabaldon Falls, or stay in the breezy resorts at the foothills of the aforementioned mountain ranges in Nueva Ecija.

Bulacan

Submitted by mads on Sun, 02/20/2022 - 00:10
Description

Bulacan's strong connection to its rural and revolutionary roots are steeped in history and its fertile plains. Because of its proximity to Metro Manila, the province exudes a similarly corporate and industrial energy while also maintaining its rustic charm. Parts of the province echo Bulacan's important contributions to Philippine history, particularly in the Philippine Revolution. More than being a gateway to northern Philippine provinces, Bulacan is well beyond being a pitstop. Sample all the kakanin (rice delicacy) varieties, bring home some chicharon and pastillas, discover new riverside and mountaintop adventures, and learn more about Bulacan's roots in your next visit.

Submitted by mads on Sun, 02/20/2022 - 00:10
Description

As a peninsula, Bataan enjoys a strategic location of being connected to the mainland while also being surrounded almost completely by water. It is known for an interesting contrast of attractions: its peaceful coves and beaches, those of which served as a venue for important World War II events. Because of its easy access to Metro Manila and neighboring provinces, Bataan is known as a quick weekend getaway. But with more pristine coves, bayside attractions, seafood products, and historic attractions, you'll soon discover that a weekend isn't enough to soak in all the sights.
