Some people travel for sightseeing and adventure. Others prefer to focus on the food.
For foodies, travel revolves around sampling delicacies you can only find in a particular place,
immersing in local culinary experiences, patronizing homegrown cafes and finding the best
pasalubong you can bring back home.
For those going to Nueva Ecija, here are just a few of the unique dishes you can find there.

Tired of the usual rocky road and vanilla ice cream? How about a nice big helping of tilapia ice
cream? Daerry’s novelty ice cream is one of the products of the Central Luzon State University
(CLSU), developed as a response to the challenge to make use of tilapia, a type of freshwater fish.
Ingredients include all-purpose cream, condensed and fresh carabao's milk, chopped walnut and
diced cheese, as well as steamed tilapia flakes!
Though the flavor may sound bizarre at first, it’s actually pretty good. The tilapia ice cream doesn’t
smell or taste too fishy. It’s mostly sweet, with just a subtle trace of fish in between the thick texture
of cheee and chunky walknut bits.
Where to try it: College of Home Science and Industry, CLSU, Science City of Munoz, Nueva Ecija
If tilapia ice cream is a bit too much for you, don’t worry. There are other tamer ice cream flavors out
there. If you’re passing by Cabanatuan, be sure to try ice cream from Puno Ice Cream and Sherbet,
the top homegrown ice cream brand which has been offering frozen treats to Novo Ecijanos for
around six decades.
Bestsellers include Cheese Cashew Macapuno ice cream and Buko sherbet with lychees. They also
have other flavors including Ube Cheese, Strawberry, Fruit Salad, Cookies and Cream, Corn Queso,
Chocolate with Cashew and Langka Cheese Cashew.
Where to try it: Puno’s Ice Cream, Maharlika Highway, Bitas, Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija.
Pinapaitan is an Ilocano native delicacy composed mainly of goat innards or internal organs such as
liver, intestines, heart and others. In Nueva Ecija, a local version involves cooking the broth in
alibangbang or butterfly leaves, a souring agent similar to tamarind leaves. The result is not as sour
as the traditional Ilocano papaitan that makes use of bile, but tastes closer to sinampalukan.
This was one of the dishes served during a special catered lunch at Minalungao National Park, along
with other interesting side dishes like ensaladang labanos (pickled radish salad), biya (goby) and
ulang (crayfish).

The military style of eating where food is prepared on a long table for people to eat with bare hands
has become a culinary experience it itself, especially for city folk and balikbayans who have never
tried it. Viands and rice are usually arranged on top of banana leaves for diners to choose from and
eat with their bare hands.
Meals like these, which usually consist of grilled meat, fish, local vegetables, salted duck egg, and
pancit, are best for big groups.
5. Local kakanin
Since it’s the “rice granary of the Philippines,” you can expect that kakanin (native delicacies made
from rice and root vegetables) is popular in the province. Instead of simply eating it, you can make
your experience more unique by learning how to make it yourself.
PMP Paradise Farms offers culinary tours where visitors can try making palitaw and nilupak among
others. Palitaw is a small, sweet rice cake made from rice flour and water. The treats are sprinkled
with sugar, coconut, and sesame seeds before serving. Nilupak is another delicacy made from either
mashed cassava, sweet potatoes or cardaba bananas wrapped in banana leaves and served with
margarine.

6. Batotay and Cabanatuan longganisa
Every province seems to have its own version of longganisa and Nueva Ecija is no exception. For
breakfast, be sure to try Cabanatuan garlic longganisa, a very savory variant of the well-loved
sausage typically made of ground pork and spices.
If you prefer your longganisa on the sweet side, try batotay, a beef-based longganisa coated with a
distinctive sweet sauce. You can also pass by the wet market to buy strings of longganisa to take
home.
Where to try it: The Harvest Hotel. 1179 Pio del Pilar Street, Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija
Chanos Chanos is a local family-run food stall that started serving baked bangus to their patrons in
2015 and opened their second branch in 2017. To encourage kids to eat more fish, they developed
recipes that use bangus instead of meat, including spaghetti, nachos and sisig.
Chanos Chanos' spaghetti uses bangus flakes with a creamy tomato sauce, resulting in a healthier yet
still delicious family favorite. Seating is limited in their branch along Maharlika Highway, but it’s
good for a quick road trip stop since they’re located near a gas station. Chanos Chanos can deliver
trays and usually caters to large groups and events at the PhilRice Institute.
Where to try it: Chanos Chanos, Maharlika Highway cor. Bayuga Street, Science City of Munoz,

For coffee and milk tea lovers who want something modern and fresh, check out Caffe La Tea, the
homegrown tea and coffee hangout in Cabanatuan City. Aside from serving mouth-watering
beverages (like Dark Choco Rock, Salt and Cheese), they also serve appetizers, pasta, sandwiches
and Pinoy rice toppings (try the Cabanatuan longganisa rice). One of the more unique items in the
menu is Chiz Buco Lumpia, a regular lumpia filled with strips of coconut, veggies, ham and cheese.
The spicy Deviled Tofu is also a must-try!

Carabao milk products at Milka Crem.Photo by Martin San Diego for NPVB
While most people are very familiar with cow’s milk, milk from carabao or water buffaloes are
popular here. Carabao's milk is said to be richer and creamier compared to cow's and goat's milk
because of its high percentage of milk fat.
Tourists can buy fresh carabao's milk and dairy products from Milka Krem, the dairy products outlet
of the Philippine Carabao Center (PCC) in Munoz. Their innovative products include carabao
mozzarella cheese, kesong puti, cream cheese, premium ice cream, flavored yogurt, and pastillas de
leche.
Where to try it: Milka Krem, Science City of Munoz, Nueva Ecija.

HERITAGE SERIES: CHURCHES IN NUEVA ECIJA
SATURDAY, 19 NOVEMBER 2016
The churches in Nueva Ecija are just as grand as those in other provinces. Honestly
though, I have not been to many churches in Nueva Ecija, hence, my excitement for this
trip.
We bade farewell to the province of Pampanga and headed to Nueva Ecija for t he
remaining half of our journey. It was more familiar ground because Nueva Ecija is my
home province; I know several towns that are home to notable, historical and
picturesque churches.
All the same, we were exultant because this was a chance to explore my home
province. Admittedly, it has not been my priority to explore Nueva Ecija because "it was
near and just there." That is not the correct mindset; distance or proximity should not be
the main consideration to familiarize oneself with the culture of a locality or to wander
and marvel at its sights and attractions. Nueva Ecija has a lot to offer in terms of
heritage, remarkable festivals and natural attractions.
While the population is predominantly Tagalog, Kabyaw (Cabiao) was formerly part of
Pampanga before it was ceded when Nueva Ecija was formed.
Cabiao gained its full township in 1797 under the term of Governor General Rafael
Maria de Aguilar y Ponce de Leon with the recommendation of the returning order of the
Augustinian in the Province of Pampanga.
It was established as one of the municipalities of Nueva Ecija in February 9, 1848 upon
the order issued by Governor General Narciso Claveria Y Zaldua and upon the
recommendation made by the Governor General Marcelino Oraa.
On a different note, for those who are looking for a natural attraction to visit, Cabiao is
home to Nabao Lake. It used to be teeming with fish and was a source of livelihood for
many locals. Years of abuse had taken its toll on this body of water but the local
government is putting great efforts to revive it into an eco-tourism site.
The Jesuit Missionary founded the visita of Cabiao between the years 1765 and 1767. It
was elevated as the Parish Church of St. John Nepomucene upon recommendation of
the Augustinian missionaries during the time when Cabiao was decreed as an
autonomous town.
Churches in Nueva Ecija: St. John Nepomucene Church
The Parish was named in honor of John Nepomucene, a Czech saint who was also
known as the martyr of the confessional. When he was young, John was cured of a
disease through the prayers of his parents. They were so thankful to God that they
dedicated him to lifelong service to the Church.
The Altar
The beautiful interior
As a priest in the city of Prague, he became a great preacher, a good mediator and a
trusted adviser to the queen. King Wenceslaus IV, who was cruel to his queen, wanted
to know what she was confessing to Father John. Twice the King as ked and twice the
good priest refused to reveal his conversations with the queen. This infuriated the king
who asked the priest to be tortured and thrown into the river to die. On the location
where Father John drowned, a strange brightness appeared upon t he water. In the old
Czechoslovakia, his name is invoked against floods and against malign. His feast day is
May 16.
There is a permanent exhibit of the Virgin Mother Mary, depicted in her various titles
A grotto just outside the church
The town's patron saint, San Isidro Labrador (St. Isidore the Laborer), is perhaps the
fitting guardian for the resilient and industrious folks of this municipality. Born in Madrid,
Spain, Isidore lived his life a laborer on a farm. It was said that there were many
miraculous happenings during his life in the fields, such as his divine visions. Many of
his peers also believed that angels sometimes helped him with his work in the farm.
Long after his death, many believed that divine occurrences still persisted due to his
intercession. St. Isidore was canonized in 1622 and is the patron saint of farmers.
The building is made of bricks, reminiscent of the olden times when said materials were
the most prevalent construction materials. San I sidro Labrador Church is characterized
by its two belfries. As such, it can be considered as one of the most unique churches in
Nueva Ecija, or even around the Philippines.
Churches in Nueva Ecija: The San Isidro Labrador Church
Outside the church, two ancient bells are permanently on display. These are called the
M.R.P.F. Paulino Escalada 1836 bells. Fr. Paulino Escalada of the Order of St.
Augustine supervised the construction of some of the Augustinian buildings in Nueva
Ecija.

Gapan, also previously a part of the rich Kingdom of Pampanga, is one of the oldest
towns in the country. It was founded in the late 1500s and was a vast pueblo that
encompassed Cabanatuan, San Miguel in Bulacan and Candaba in Pampanga. The said
towns were eventually relinquished and what remained was the City's present land
area.
The old municipality was the site of the historic Battle of Gapan from January to August
1945, during which Filipino and America soldiers defeat ed Japanese forces to free
Nueva Ecija from the attackers.
The Augustinians administered the construction of the church in 1856 until its
completion in 1872. It was undoubtedly Byzantine in style with walls made if limestone
and bricks. The church has a central dome that depicted a painting of the Holy Trinity,
an artwork made in the early 1900s by local painter Isidoro Samonte.
The church's dome showcasing a painting of the Holy Trinity
Enshrined in the church is the image of the Virgen La Divina Pastora, the focal point of
the Marian devotion in Central Luzon. During the 17 th century, a scion of a prominent
family in Gapan, Doña Juana Valmonte, recounted to a friar in Manila her recurring
dream about the Virgin Mary wanting to be fetched from Spain.
At that time, the devotion to the Virgen La Divina Pastora was starting to gain popularity
in Spain. An image of Divina Pastora eventually reached G apan via the Galleon Trade.
The family became greatly devoted to the image, celebrating May 1 as her feast. Winds
from the rice fields brought stories about her miracles and people from all over Nueva
Ecija came to see her every year during her fiesta. A century later, the Virgen La Divina
Pastora was made patron of Gapan, second to the Three Kings.
When Doña Juana died, the image was entrusted to members of the Valmonte clan who
saw to it that it was in its most pristine condition throughout the passing of time. On
December 19, 1963, the canonical coronation of the image of Virgen La Divina Pastora
was granted by Pope Paul VI. The event was presided over by the first Bishop of the
Diocese of Cabanatuan, Reverend Mariano Gaviola.
The miraculous image of Divina Pastora was eventually donated by the Valmonte heirs
to the Parish of the Three Kings coinciding with the church’s declaration as a national
shrine on April 26, 1986.
The altar
Our last destination is my hometown of San Antonio. Quaint, quiet and slow -paced, this
first-class municipality is for those who long for a peaceful provincial life.
Churches in Nueva Ecija: San Antonio Abad Parish Church
San Antonio used to be part of Gapan and was then known as Barrio Delinquente. It
earned that name because residents recounted a story about a big boat (Casco)
carrying sacks of palay that sunk in the Pampanga River. Palay is an important
commodity and that was probably the reason why it was considered a mortal sin to lose
those sacks of rice. The current name of the town was given by Father Leocadio Luis in
the mid-1800s in honor of its patron saint, San Antonio Abad.
The spacious and well-designed interior
Once he was badly beaten by the devil because he resisted his temptations grea tly.
After that incident, God told him that He would be by his side from then on.
The 1990 earthquake also brought great damage to the church with its thick walls
almost yielding to the big cracks. Over the next few decades, repairs have been made
to the church which gave it its present look.
There are many other beautiful churches in Nueva Ecija. However, since we were
pressed for time, we were not able to visit them. I hope to explore my home province
more because I know it has many surprises in store in terms of attractions and festivals.

Sa taas ng Ikalawang Digmaang Pandaigdig, sumali muli ang Novo Ecijanos pwersa upang
mabawi ang kalayaan ng mga Pilipino mula sa Hapon pwersa. Sa Enero 30, 1945, Capt.

Cabanatuan. Ang makasaysayang kaganapan ay itinuturing ngayon bilang ang pinaka-
matagumpay na operasyon rescue ng uri nito sa mga salaysay ng kasaysayan ng US militar.
Sa kaliwa, Eduardo L. Joson: Eduardo L. Joson (born 1919) was a captain of Filipino guerrillas during
the Japanese occupation of the Philippines during World War II. He later became the Governor of the Nueva
Ecija Province in the Philippines from 1959 to 1992, making him the second longest serving politician serving
one government position in the Philippines for a span of 33 years.
Maraming mga kaganapan naganap sa kasaysayan ng Nueva Ecija na sinusukat ang lakas at
katapangan ng bawat Novo Ecijanos. Tapang, kabayanihan at paggalang sa kalayaan ay ang
malakas legacies ng Novo Ecijanos para sa mga Filipino mga tao na epitomized sa sunrays sa
Pilipinas flag na iyon.
WIKANG TAGALOG
Ang Tagalog (mula 1961 hanggang 1987: Pilipino) ay isa sa mga pangunahing wika ng
Republika ng Pilipinas at ito ang de facto ngunit hindi de jure na batayan na siyang
pambansang wikang Filipino. Sinasalita rin ito sa Hilagang Kapuluang Mariana, kung saan ang
mga Pilipino ang pinakamalaking pangkat etnolingwistiko.
Kasaysayan ng tagalog
Ang salitang Tagalog ay hinango sa salitang taga-ilog, galing sa tagá- na nangangahulugang "katutubo
ng" at ilog, ibig sabihin ay mga taong naninirahan sa tabi ng ilog. Walang mga halimbawa ng Tagalog
bago dumating ang mga Kastila. Sinasabi ng ilan na ito ay marahil sinunog ng mga unang paring Kastila,
sapagkat sinasabing masademonyo ito. Kakaunti lamang ang kaalaman tungkol sa kasaysayan ng wikang
ito. Ngunit sa haka-haka ng mga dalubhasa sa pananalita, ang mga ninuno ng mga Tagalog ay nagmula sa
hilagang silangang Mindanao o sa silangang Visayas, kasama ng mga kamag-anak nitong wika ng mga
taga-gitnang Pilipinas.
Ang pinakaunang aklat na naisulat sa Tagalog ay ang Doctrina Cristiana (Christian Doctrine) noong 1593.
Ito ay nakasulat sa Espanyol at dalawang uri sa Tagalog; ang una ay nakasulat sa Baybayin at ang isa
naman ay sa titik Latin.
Doctrina Christiana, 1593
Ang TAGALOG ay salitang hinango sa taga-irog dahil kilala ang pangkat ng kayumangging ito sa pag
irog sa sinisintang kabiyak at pagiging tapat din sa pakikipag ugnayan sa pinili niyang makasama sa
buhay.
Taga-ilog (Tagalog) | by Lulot Ruiz
Ito ay batay sa nakaraang kaganapan nang ang mga tao ay may higit pang katinuan at takot sa DIYOS
may kaugnayan ang salitang ito sa isang kasabihang tagalog "mahirap mamangka sa dalawang ilog/irog?.
Wala pang nailathalang aklat na nagsasabi kung gaano katanda ang wikang ito ,subalit may dokumento o
kasulatan na nakalimbag sa tanso na nagpapatunay na ang isang matandang uri ng wika na pinagmulan ng
wikang tagalog ay umiiral at ginagamit na mahigit isang libong taon nang nakalipas. Ito ang SULAT SA
TANSO NG LAGUNA ng taong 822 A.D. na patuloy pang inuusisa at pinag aaralan ng mga
nagdalubhasa sa wika.
Kasulatan sa tanso ng Laguna
Ang mga katutubong wika sa pilipinas ay ipinalagay na sangay na kauri ng wikang tagalog at ang mga ito
ay patuloy paring gamit sa bawat rehiyon at mga lalawigan ng bansa. Nang dumagsa ang mga espaniol sa
kapuluan ng bansang ito, nasumpungan nila na may kabihasnan na dito na may wika, panulat na baybayin
at mga payak na lipunan na may pinuno ang bawat pangkat o baranggay na tinawag na DATU. Sa
pagtuturo nila ng kaalaman mula sa Europeo, nahubog ang kaisipan at kulturang pilipino sa kaisipang
dayuhan at nagpatuloy ito hanggang sa pagdagsa dito ng Amerikano at hapon sa paglipas ng mga
panahon.Sa kabila ng inpluwensiyang ito, Ang wikang tagalog pa rin ang kinilalang pambansang wika
nakalalamang sa ibang dialekto at maging sa wikang Ingles at wikang Español dito sa ating bansa.
WIKANG ILOKANO
Isa pang kadalasang wikang ginagamit sa nueva ecija ay ang wikang ilocano
Ang Iloko (o Iluko, maaari ring Ilokano o Ilocano) ay isa sa mga pangunahing wika ng Pilipinas.
Ito ang wikang gamit (lingua franca) ng halos kabuaan ng Hilagang Luzon lalo na sa Rehiyon ng
Ilocos, sa Lambak ng Cagayan at sa maraming bahagi ng Abra at Pangasinan. Marami ring mga
nagsasalita ng Iloko sa Nueva Ecija, Tarlac, Mindoro at sa ilang lalawigan sa Mindanao.
Maraming bahagi ng mundo, kung saan nadako at namamalagi ang mga Ilokano, ang
katatagpuan din ng malaking bahagdan ng mga nagsasalita ng Iloko katulad sa mga estado
ng Hawaii at California sa Amerika.
Ang wikang Ilocano ngayon, bukod sa gamit nito bilang lingua franca ng Hilagang Luzon, ay
kinikilala rin bilang Heritage Language ng Estado ng Hawaii. Ito ay sa kadahilanang nakararami
sa mga Filipino-Americans ay may dugong Ilocano at sa kadahilanan ding marami sa mga nauna
nang sakada (mga Pilipinong nagpunta sa Amerika noong panahon ng pananakop) ay dugong
Ilocano at hindi nakapagsasalita ng Tagalog. Samakatuwid, mas nakararaming Filipino-
Americans ang may lahing Ilocano at nakapagsasalita ng Ilocano, bagamat ang mga bagong
henerasyon ngayon ay marunong kahit papano sa Tagalog.
Idagdagpa diyan na sa loob ng libu-libong taon ay napayaman pa ang bokabularyo ng wikang ito.
Sa katotohanan, tinatayang ang Iloco ang pinakamatandang wika sa Pilipinas at isa sa mga may
pinakamayamang bokabularyo. Sa katotohanan, sinasabi ng mga eksperto na ang wikang Iloco
ay may kompletong bokabularyo bago pa dumating ang mga Kastila ngunit ito'y nawala dahil sa
gahum ng wikang banyaga.
Tunay na mayaman ang wikang Iloco dahil may mga salita itong panumbas sa ibang dayuhang
salita na hindi naman natutumbasan ng Tagalog, ang kinikilalang lingua franca raw ng Pilipinas.
Isa na diyan ay ang region, na tinatawag na rehiyon ng mga Tagalog, ngunit sa mga Ilocano ay
deppaar.
Sa Honululo ngayon ay may sinimulang layunin ang mga anak at kaapuapuhan ng mga naunang
sagada. Ito ay ang pagpapalawak ng salitang Ilocano at ang paghihikayat sa mga Ilocano sa
Pilipinas na ito ay gamitin at ituro sa mga anak. Nakita nilang nasa panganib ang wika dahil na
rin sa propaganda ng mga Tagalista na naglalayong patayin ang lahat ng wika sa Pilipinas liban
sa Tagalog.
Idagdag pa na ang wika ay itinuturo sa Unibersidad ng Hawaii bilang isang kurso. Wala silang
kurso para sa Tagalog. Ang Ilocano ang tanging Wika sa Pilipinas na kinikilala bilang Heritage
Language sa Hawaii.
Tinataya ring may humigit-kumulang na 20 milyon native speakers ang Ilocano sa buong mundo.
"Samtoy" mula sa pariralang "Sao mi ditoy" na may kahulugan na aming lenggwahe rito.

Mga Magagandang Tanawin at
Makasaysayang Lugar sa Nueva Ecija
Posted on January 12, 2017
Ang lalawigan ng Nueva Ecija ay isa sa mga makasaysayang lugar sa Pilipinas. Bukod sa
kanyang sikat na mga pasyalan kung saan ang kasaysayan ang nangyari, may mga hindi
p nadidiskubring mga lugar kung saan tanging ang ilang mga tao pa lamang ang
nakaaalam. Sa pananaliksik na ito kami ay ipinagmamalaki naming ibahagi sa inyo ang
tunay na kagandahan ng mga lugar na maaari matuklasan sa Nueva Ecija. ako
Ang Nueva Ecija ay isa sa mga nangungunang producer ng mga produktong agrikultural
sa bansa. Ang mga pangunahing produkto dito ay bigas, mais at sibuyas . Ang lalawigan
ay madalas na tinutukoy bilang ang “Rice Granary ng Pilipinas.” Marami ring tagong
yaman ng kalikasan na matatagpuan dito.
Mapalad pa rin ang mga taong namalas ang natural na ganda ng Minalungao .
4. Pantabangan Dam
Ang Pantabangan Dam ay matatagpuan sa Nueva Ecija. Ang layunin nito ay
makapagbigay ng mga tubig para sa irigasyon, nagbibigay rin ng kuryente, at ang ibang
bahagi naman ay nakakakontrol ng pagbaha. Ang dam rin na ito ay isa sa pinakamalaki
sa Southeast Asia at isa sa pinakamalinis sa buong Pilipinas.
Ang paggawa sa dam na ito ay nagsimula noong 1971 at natapos noong 1977 kaya inabot
ito ng pitong taon. Ito rin ay isa sa mga pinupuntahan ng mga turista dahil sa
kagandahan ng lugar na ito na hanggang ngayon ay pinupuntahan pa rin. Ito rin ay
umaabot sa Pampanga River.
Bukod sa hawak nitong titulo ng pagiging isa sa mga pinakamalaking dam sa bansa at
gayundin sa Timog-silangang Asya at ang isa sa mga pinakamalinis sa Pilipinas , Ang
Pantabangan ay sikat rin sa larangan ng sport fishing.
5. Dalton Pass
Ang Dalton Pass ay tinatawag rin na Balete Pass. Ito ay mahabang daan na pa-zigzag na
pinagdudugtong ang Nueva Ecija at Nueva Vizcaya. Noong unang panahon, may ginanap
ditong digmaan at ito ay ang Pangalawang Pangdaigdigang Digmaan o World War 2.
Ngunit madadaanan naman na ito ngayon at naiayos na ito ng ibang mga mangagawa.
Maganda ang tanawin dito dahil medyo may kataasan ang daan nito. Sa paligid nito ay
may mga malalaking bundok, puno, mayroon ring mga bahayan. Ang iba ay nasisiyahang
dumaan dito gamit ang kanilang mga dalang sasakyan dahil sa paliko-liko nitong daanan.
6. Cuyapo Hills
Ang Cuyapo Hill o bundok ng Cuyapo ay matatagpuan sa Cuyapo. Ito ay mayroong
laking 603 ft. at 184 m. Ayon sa isang pagsusulit, ito ay ang pang labing-siyam sa
pinakamatataas na bundok sa Nueva Ecija at pang 1872 naman sa buong Pilipinas.
Ito ay pinalilibutan ng mga berdeng halaman na talagang malinis pati ang mga
malalaking puno sa paligid nito. Ang ibang napapadaan dito ay naaagaw ang atensyon
dahil sa kagandahan nito.
Katulad lang din ito ng mga ibang bundok na matatagpuan sa Nueva Ecija ngunit iba
lang sa laki ang ibang mga bundok. Tunay nga na nakakamangha ang mga bundok sa
Nueva Ecija dahil sa malago nitong mga kulay berdeng halaman.
Ngunit sa mga nakakaalam ng kuwento, nakatatak pa rin dito ang mga bakas ng luha,
halakhak, tagumpay at pagkabigo ng ating mga ninuno o nang sinumang dayuhang
sumakop dito. Ibat-ibang panahon man ang dumaan, sana ay manatili pa rin sa kalooban
ng bawat Pilipino hindi lamang ang istraktura ng bahay na ito, kundi ang mahalagang
ginampanan nito sa ating kasaysayan.
Ngayon ay pagmamay-ari na ito at nasa pangangalaga na ni Ginoong Leo Guingon na
tubong Calaba, San Isidro, Nueva Ecija.
Tunay na maipagpalaki ang ating lalawigan na hitik na hitik sa maraming makapigil
hiningang tanawin higit sa lahat sa dami ng makasaysayan lugar at pangyayari na
kailan man ay hindi na maaaring mabura sa ating kasaysayan.
