Things To Do In Calabarzon 2022

Are you itching for another adventure? What about a relaxing and wellness vacation in Calabarzon. CALABARZON, after Metro Manila, is regarded as the second-most economically active region in the country. It comprises the well-known provinces of Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Quezon, hence the acronym.

CALABARZON is one of the wealthiest regions in the Philippines because of its richness of tourist, agriculture, and trading. In the southern part of Metro Manila, CALABARZON is a great place to live, work, and play because of its proximity to the metropolis but also to the business districts of Luzon’s southwest.

One of the reasons that CALABARZON has a broad economy is because it is home to various tourism spots. Many locals and visitors from across the world flock to this location because of its pristine beaches, historical landmarks dating back to the Spanish era, marine preserve, and towering mountains, among other attractions.

Now let’s get started! If you’re looking for churches, adventure or simply a fun activity; then check our list below:

PRAY AT NATIONAL SHRINE OF SORROW IN DOLORES

The Our Lady Of Sorrows Shrine is a church in Dolores, Quezon. It was designated as a national shrine on June 15, 2017. Many travelers visit Birhen Dolorosa, the patron saint of OFWs, every Sunday to worship and pay homage. The town of Dolores is home to the Shrine of Our Lady of Sorrows, which is well-known to the devout of Quezon Province and beyond, and its residents are equally committed to preserving their heritage via spectacles that attract visitors from far and wide.

Each Friday of the week, the renowned “Pangkuan” is held. Numerous individuals from neighboring towns travel to Dolores to attend the Birhen Dolorosa liturgy. It is also noted for its annual “Viernes de Dolores” celebration, which occurs in either March or April. It includes the holy Mass and a “Turumba,” a dance honoring the patron saint of the town.

Address: Dolores, Quezon

VISIT TAAL BASILICA, BATANGAS

A giant scaffolding rose right before the basilica’s altar at the point where the nave and the transept meet. Apparently, the church’s interiors were undergoing a minor renovation. The top of the bamboo scaffold reached to the ceiling of the dome which was being painted. I could not imagine how difficult it was for the painters. After all, they were inside the biggest Catholic church in the Philippines and in the whole of Asia.

The Basilica de San Martin de Tours, simply known as Taal Basilica, is Asia’s largest church and it was not very difficult to see. Sitting on top of a hill, the basilica towers over the old heritage town of Taal. It is a very dominant structure and is visible in most parts of the town proper and even in some parts of the neighboring town Lemery.

EXPERIENCE AMULET MAKING IN DOLORES

The town of Dolores is located at the base of this ethereal mountain. Anting-anting or amulet amulets, which are said to ward off evil spirits, promote good health, and attract a person may be found at this flea market, which also sells farm goods and local culinary delicacies.

Two reasons to visit Dolores if you believe in the power of amulets: Charge their amulets, or buy one or have one constructed, is the first option.

LEARN FILIPINO HISTORY AT BONIFACIO TRIAL MUSEUM

On May 5 and 6, 1897, brothers Andres Bonifacio and Procopio Bonifacio were tried by a military court led by Gen. Mariano Noriel in this two-story bahay-na-bato (stone house). The court said that the two people accused of treason should be put to death.

This house was built by Teodorico Reyes in 1889. Before that, it was called the Roderico Reyes House (which was the name of the former owner). Jose Angeles is the new owner of the house. On June 4, 1997, the National Historical Institute named the house a National Historical Landmark. In 1999, it was fully fixed up and named a National Heritage Site.

Address: Margagondon, Cavite

PRAY AT OUR LADY OF ASSUMPTION PARISH – MARAGONDON, CAVITE

From Naic, the Church of the Assumption of Our Lord in Maragondon was reached via Indang Road and Governor’s Drive after a somewhat lengthy 10.6 kilometer journey. The best-preserved church complex in the province, this church was constructed by the Jesuits in 1618, became a parish church in 1627, and was expanded between 1630 and 1633. During the Spanish-Dutch War of 1649, the church was destroyed out of fear that it would become a Dutch fort.
