NATURAL ATTRACTION

Pampanga River River

(formerly known as Rio Grande de Pampanga -- Great River of Pampanga) is the second largest river in the island of Luzon, next to Cagayan Riverand the third largest but most important river in the Philippines. It is located in the Central Luzon region and traverses the provinces of Pampanga, Nueva Ecija,Bulacan, Tarlac and Quezon.

MAN-MADE ATTRACTION

Churches/Shrines

St. Louie Parish Church

Its façade can compare immeasurably with existing Spanish-style church edifices and architectural design. The church is located in a place that used to be called Cabagsac, referring to the proliferation of fruit bats. In fact, today, a fishnet is permanently installed high above the altar precisely to catch thousands of bats that are roosting inside the church. The interior is dark, has an ambience of antiquity and mystery and overpowering odor of bat urine. The main attraction is the three-tower facade, perhaps one of its kind in the country. Not to be missed is the ancient cemetery located in a hidden corner at the back of the church, with some tombstones dating back to the 1800s and bearing the names of the town's prominent families, including Taruc.
