It was like breathing again
The last two semesters of my second year had taken a lot out of me – physically, mentally and emotionally – and I knew it wouldn’t be long before the load I was carrying would get the better of me. And so after having survived a most trying summer semester as a Biology major at the University of the Philippines, Manila, I jumped the chance when my mom asked if I wanted to join the pilgrimage she was helping organize to the Relic of the Holy Cross in Tarlac, which also included visits to several churches in the province. And with that, I declared a temporary retreat.
Whats on Manila Features Relic of the True Cross
Tarlac is fervently Catholic, its old churches unforgotten, and new ones sprouting every so often. Now, Tarlac City, the midpoint between Baguio and Manila, is a bustling metropolis dotted with famous coffee shops and restaurants. Tarlac is not merely a pit stop for weary travelers on their way to the more popular tourist destinations further up north. The province is steeped with a rich history and new attractions for the mind, body and soul. Early this year, the Department of Tourism named the quiet barangay of Lubigan as the most revered pilgrimage site in the country. It’s high time to rediscover Tarlacs charms not through the eyes of an inquisitive tourist, but that of a pilgrim.
