Tarlac is a province with a diverse cultural identity shaped by its Kapampangan, Ilocano, Pangasinense, and Tagalog communities. This diversity bursts into color with festivals like the Malatarlak Festival in Tarlac City, Kaisa Festival in Gerona, and the Chicaron Iniruban Festival in Camiling. These festivities highlight vibrant parades, folk dances, and culinary traditions that honor both heritage and unity.

The province is also known as the “Belen Capital of the Philippines” for its Belenismo tradition, where communities craft stunning Nativity displays that tourists visit during the Christmas season.

Monasterio de Tarlac: A Spiritual Landmark in Central Luzon

One of the most iconic cultural and spiritual landmarks in the province is the Monasterio de Tarlac, located atop Mount Resurrection in the municipality of San Jose. This pilgrimage site houses a relic believed to be a fragment of the True Cross, making it a unique religious destination in Asia.

The site is crowned by a 30-foot statue of the Risen Christ, offering panoramic views of the Zambales mountain range. More than a tourist attraction, it serves as a place of prayer, reflection, and spiritual renewal for both devotees and visitors.

Quality Education and Healthcare

Industrial zones like the Luisita Industrial Park and developments linked to New Clark City are attracting both local and foreign investors. Government support for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and investment incentives further strengthen Tarlac’s business climate.

This mix of agriculture and modern industry positions Tarlac as one of Central Luzon’s rising investment hubs.
