Philippines: Nueva Ecija Provincial Profile
Nueva Ecija is the largest province and the biggest rice producer of Central Luzon, thus, often referred to as the “Rice Bowl of the Philippines.” Its terrain
begins with the southwestern marshes near the Pampanga border. It levels off and then gradually increases in elevation to rolling hills as it approaches the
mountains of Sierra Madre in the east, and the Caraballo and Cordillera ranges in the north. Among its main attractions is the Pantabangan River, the
country’s first multi-purpose infrastructure, which stands today as a phenomenon in Filipino engineering
feats. Another is the Pampanga river, cutting across a rich valley floor, famed for irrigation, the 5 27 849
generation of hydroelectric power, and the mitigation of flood damage. (Source: http://www.tourism.gov-
