Manila, Branaue & Boracay Philippine Tour

Day 1: Manila - Banaue (approx. 338 Km or 8-10 Hours by Land)
After breakfast at the hotel this morning we depart Manila for Banaue via North Expressway.

The gateway to Banaue is through the land locked evergreen provinces of Nueva Ecija and Nueva Vizcaya. Countryside settings such as rice fields surrounding the small towns and villages are common sight

showing simplicity of living.

A short Stop at:

red_arrow2 Chinese Cemetery - The Chinese cemetery, located in the suburb of Santa Cruz about 4 km north of Manila's Chinatown, is a town for the dead that comes with streets and ostentatious tombs built in the form of houses, many of them with furniture, running water and even air conditioning.

red_arrow2San Guillermo Church - It is one of the oldest and largest churches in Pampanga. It was constructed by the Augustinian friars in 1576 on the lot of Don Guillermo Manabat, a rich landlord believed to be the founder of Bacolor. The church was restored by Fr. Manuel Diaz in 1897. The church measured 56m. long, 15m. wide and 12m. high. It has a central nave and an ample and well-lighted transept with windows. The main retablo, side retablos and pulpit are gilded with gold leaf. The richness of the decoration of Bacolor is indicative of the advanced stage of its baroque style. In spite of the 1991 eruption of Mt. Pinatubo which half-buried the church on Oct. 1, 1995, masses are still held every Sunday morning.
