TAYABASIN KA BA?

When going to Manila I passed Tayabas, When going to Infanta I also passed Tayabas. Geez... I don't know a lot in this place, that is why i'm surprised when saying comes that this place will be one of the cities of Quezon Province(with Lucena) and it does!.

I really don't know what is the basis of transforming Tayabas into a city. There is no article about to read, some says it is because the population, some are establishments. In our PHILGOV class, one accidentally open that topic cause we are discussing an article about land I think. Yeah my professor says that having large land territory is the basis of transforming Tayabas into a city. Now I knew... I look for description of Tayabas City and here it goes.

A land-locked town within the Province of Quezon, Tayabas is situated at the south-eastern foothills of one of the famous volcanoes in the country: Mt. Banahaw. It is encircled by several municipalities of Quezon Province: Lucban, Mauban and Sampaloc to the north; Atimonan and Pagbilao to the south-east; Lucena City to the south; and Sariaya to the west. It likewise shares its boundary with the Province of Laguna in its north-eastern extremity. It lies some 150 Km. southeast of Manila and only about 10 km. from the provincial capital, Lucena City.

Tayabas has a total land area of 23,095 hectares divided among its 66 barangays, 19 of which are within the Poblacion; 47 classified as rural with respective areas ranging from a mere 10 hectares to an enormous 3,002.41 hectares. The compact urban core measures only 82.15 hectares which is less than one (1) percent of the total land area.

The Lambanog

If you’re particularly searching for the most traditional way of drinking (inuman) in the Philippines, you shouldn’t miss this place in Quezon called City of Tayabas. The art of drinking has its own roots in every place but all are one in the name of spirit and tradition, that is celebration! And there has got to be something special that we look forward to in drinking in this city, where traces of history can be found in every street you trek. What else could that be but the famous coco vodka – “lambanog.” Lambanog is a famous drink among Filipinos and you can find one of the richest and most flavorful beverages only in Tayabas.

Puente del Malagonlong
A declared historical site by the National Historical Institute, Malagonlong is a 445 foot-long bridge built in 1840. It was the longest bridge ever made during the Spanish colonial era with approximately 100,000 adobe blocks used. I've been there and that is a lovely place... Good to look at...
