Food is one of the basic necessities of life. Food contains nutrients—substances essential for the growth, repair, and maintenance of body tissues and for the regulation of vital processes. Nutrients provide the energy our bodies need to function.Food is the basis for life; if someone wants to live they have to eat. Food is what provides people with enough energy to get through the day, it is what satisfies hunger cravings, and it also is what provides your body with the nutrition needed throughout your life. People eat when they are happy, sad, angry and mad.

In 2007, a province-wide festival displaying creativity, unity ( bayanihan ) , ingenuity, and Filipinos’ love on celebrations was born.

Tarlac’s very own festival, “ Belenismo ”.   Belenismo  is a Spanish word which means “the art of making Belen.” It is a recreation of the Christmas nativity scene with Joseph, Mary and Baby Jesus.

Commonly savored with  bagoong  to create a distinctive flavorful taste Binalay Grilled Suman Suman is a classic Filipino dish and every town has a version of it. In Tarlac, you'll chance upon a grilled variety. It's got the gooey goodness of your typical suman but with a smokey taste and crispy-in-some-parts texture. It's the perfect merienda !

El Circulo Fernandino  - is the prestigious social event of the rich in the City of San Fernando.

6. A unique Kapampangan dish that is well enjoyed by other ethnic groups is nasing biringyi (chicken saffron rice). Since nasing biringyi is so difficult to prepare, this unique Kapampangan dish can only be enjoyed during fiestas in Pampanga

7. Murcon is like embotido , but this Kapampangan embotido combines ground pork and ground beef. Chorizo de bilbao , and perhaps the addition of pimiento, is what makes morcon pungently tasty. Frogs used in  betute  are farm-raised, so these are safe to eat. The filling is usually ground beef although some Pampangueños experiment with ground pork or ground shrimp as filling.

Bagnet, Zambales' version of deep-fried crispy pork belly, is the answer to Ilocos ' pork chicharon and is best paired with chili, vinegar, rice, and pinakbet for a truly blissful dining experience.

12. AURORA Aurora Province is located on the East-Central side of Luzon Island. It is the north-eastern most province of Central Luzon (Region III). It is bordered on the north by the provinces of Isabela and Qurino , on the west by Nueva Ecija and Nueva Viscaya , on the south by Bulacan and Quezon, and on the east by the Pacific Ocean. The province’s main link to the rest of Luzon is through a narrow mountain gravel road that twists through the Sierra Madre Mountain Range. The road is located between Baler and Bongabon , Nueva Ecija. The Baler Hanging Bridge is situated along Zabali Road and connects the barangays of Tibang and Sabang . The bridge is made of wooden planks and railings that are suspended above a wide river by sturdy metal cables. It measures about a meter in width and is over a hundred meters long.   While locals often use it for their daily errands, it has become one of the well-known tourist attractions in Baler, Aurora over the years due to the stunning views it offers.

13. DIGUISIT AND ANIAO ISLET  Diguisit Beach is one of the popular surfing spots in Baler and is located about 11 KM from the town proper. In addition to the constant waves that are great for surfing, this white sand beach also boasts unique rock formations and crystal clear water.  The most famous formations here are the Aniao Islets, which are two small islands. These islets were naturally shaped by the strong waves that slam against the shore when the winds are strong. Surrounding these sturdy formations were rocky landscapes that become pools of cool water whenever the tide is low.  

14. 5 food in Baler was surprisingly good.  It was a simple   inihaw   of Yellow Fin Tuna with soy sauce, tomatoes and onions. I particularly liked their version of bagoong with  inihaw na talong  (grilled eggplant). For dessert, they served fresh fruits of the day. This is actually the perfect suman for me. It is  a bit sweet already  so no need to dip it in sugar. It is light, as big as a finger but  a little longer, and wrapped artistically well. It is made fresh everyday  so you can only buy them in the morning. It costs P5 a piece and is sold in bunches of 10. It comes in two versions — the basic white and the ube -colored one made with rice coming from Dilasag , Aurora. Baler Suman
