BRIEF HISTORY
Tarlac City is a significant
city in the landlocked
province of Tarlac as it
serves as the provincial
capital. It is written in
history that long ago
Tarlac City was once part
of the larger municipality
of Porac in Pampanga
during the Spanish era
and because of this the
residents of Tarlac City
are mostly
Kapampangan speakers, but are also a mix of Kapampangan, Ilocano, and Tagalog
ethnicities.
The total land area of Tarlac City is 274.66 square kilometers or 106.05
square miles which consists of 76 barangays. Since Tarlac City is landlocked, the
main source of income for the city is agriculture. The primary agricultural goods
produced in the city are sugar, rice, vegetables, root crops, livestock, and poultry.
The livelihood of the majority of the residents depends on jeepney and tricycle
earnings, farming, and selling food products in the market. Based on our
observation, a lot of people were under the blue collar workers who uses their hands
and physical abilities to perform their duties. Nevertheless, the City Government of
Tarlac always make sure to create projects and events such as Tulong
Pangkabuhayan sa mga Tarlakenyo to help those people who have a hard time
looking and applying for a decent job.
Tarlac culture being a melding of four cultures, its cuisine is of course a mix of four
regional cuisines as well: Ilocano, Pampango, Tagalog, and Pangasinense.

Tarlac Plazuela
The silent witness to culture and history
Plazuelas are typically at the heart of Philippine towns and located near or between
the town/city hall and the Roman Catholic Church. This strategic positioning of the
two institutions rooted from the Spanish regime, signifying the union of the
government and the Church.
Our town square was visited by the most prominent heroes of our nation, such as
our National Hero, Jose Rizal and the President of the Revolutionary Republic, Gen.
Emilio Aguinaldo. Antonio Luna, Commander of the Philippine Revolutionary Army,
Apolinario Mabini, the Brains of the Katipunan, Carlos P. Romulo, Philippine
Diplomat and President of the UN General Assembly and Benigno Aquino, Jr.,
Filipino Martyr and patriot had set foot at the plazuela—the silent witness to history.
