When in Gapan. Judging from the clientele and the number of SUVs in the parkling lot I could tell Luz Kitchenette was no bit player in the city's culinary scene. Not surprised: they have good food and good service at prices that didn't make me want to scream and gnash my teeth.

Before dinner we checked out Tagpuan sa Lumang Gapan, the city's version of Vigan's Calle Crisologo (cobblestone street, Spanish colonial era houses, etc.). I liked that there were only a handful of people -- mostly youngsters snapping photos of themselves -- milling about. Together with the setting sun and the soft glow of the ancient looking streetlights it made for a wonderfully surreal, almost dreamlike experience.

Stayed the night at Modesta Resort and Event Place in Zaragoza, my wife's hometown. Pool was out of commision though so my daughter, who was looking forward to a dip, was crestfallen.

Stats: 3,161 steps, 4h 46min sleep.

It was almost a year ago when we visited my father's hometown of Nueva Ecija I had a chance to visit one of it's oldest historical landmarks - Lumang Gapan or also known as "Little Vigan." It is a small piece of history situated in a small city. Compared to the actual Vigan it is relatively very small. It occupies only a small piece of land that you can roam around in just a couple of minutes. Besides this location is another historical landmark - the National Shrine of La Virgen Divina Pastora.

The church was built in 1595, almost as old as the founding of the Philippines by the Spaniards. The church stood in it's place for more than 400 years. As you enter the church, you can feel the history in the air. Especially during the Christmas season as it was adorned with a beautiful Nativity Scene that encapsulates the season. I would definitely visit the site again in the future. A piece of history that is worth visiting.

Minalungao National Park

Huling beses kong pinuntahan ang isa sa mga paborito kong lugar sa Norte. Huling beses ko din nag long drive mag isa. Isa sa mga pangarap ko ay ang maging lokal ng Gapan. Unang beses akong napunta dito noong 2015, hindi pa gaano ka developed ang lugar pero parang na love at first sight ako. Ang dapat na isang araw lang na bisita ko sa isang kaibigan sa Cabanatuan, ay naging dalawang linggong tambay sa Gapan para sa sembreak. Simula noon ay binabalik-balikan nang sadya. Nakaka-miss. Kailangan ko na yata mag renew ng lisensya.

Little Vigan ng Gapan

Ang Tagpuan sa Lumang Gapan

Little Vigan kung tawagin nila itong bagong-lumang pasyalan sa may Gapan Nueva Ecija. Ang uu, may mga lumang bahay na talagang nakatayo sa kalye na it at ni-enhance lang ito ng local government ng Gapan para ma-preserved yung lugar at maging tourist attractions na din. At hindi nga sila nag kamali kase ang ganda naman din talaga ng kinalabasan. iStar-Tariray: Ang Lumang Gapan
