Philippines: Tarlac Provincial Profile
Tarlac is the most multicultural of the Central Luzon provinces. A mixture of four district groups, the Pampangos, Ilocanos, Pangasinenses, and Tagalogs, share
life in the province. The province is situated at the center of the Central Plains of Luzon, landlocked by four provinces: Nueva Ecija on the east, Pangasinan on
the north, Pampanga o the south, and Zambales on the west. Approximately 75% of the province is plain while the rest is hilly to mountainous. Tarlac is best
known for its fine foods and vast sugar and rice plantations. That it has fine cooking to offer is due largely
to the fact that it is the melting pot of Central Luzon. It offers some of the best cuisines from the places of 1 17 511
ancestry of its settlers, the provinces of Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Zambales, Pangasinan, and the Ilocos
Region. (Source: http://www.tourism.gov.ph/SitePages/InteractiveSitesPage.aspx?siteID=13) CITY MUNICIPALITIES BARANGAYS
