getting to Tayabas, Quezon Province
The Quezon Province, formerly known as Tayabas, can be reached by buses (such as Batangas-Laguna-Tayabas-Bus Co. (BLTB), Tritran, JAM, JAC Liner, Philtranco, and Superlines) plying regular routes to Lucena City and the Bicol region. From Pasay, EDSA, the bus takes the South Expressway, exiting at Sto. Tomas, Batangas, passing by the towns of Laguna (Alaminos, San Pablo), then Tiaong, Candelaria, and Sariaya, and stopping at the Grand Central Terminal in Lucena City. The trip to Lucena City takes about three (3) hours, and a jeepney ride to Tayabas from this terminal takes about 20 minutes. Nawawalang Paraiso is along the highway in Barangay Camaysa, Tayabas (see map for details).
Cultural Attractions
Tayabas, one of the oldest municipalities (founded in 1578 by Franciscan missionaries Fr. Juan De Placencia and Fr. Diego de Oropesa) in the province, lying approximately 11 kilometers north of Lucena, and 143 kilometers southeast of MetroManila by land travel. It also lies 14'50' latitude east southeast of that famous mystic mountain Banahaw. The scenery is dominated by patches of rice field with an occasional smattering of white herons and coconut trees. Half of Tayabas is devoted to coconut plantations. It was once the capital of the province, which was also named Tayabas. The province's most prominent son is President Manuel L. Quezon, after whom the province was renamed .
Malagunlong Bridge (Tayabas) is considered to be the oldest one in the town which was built by the Spanish colonizers, standing enchantingly solid with its five arches that span 445 feet. However, it is not very clear if it was constructed before or after the town church which was built in 1585.
The church of Tayabas, Minor Basilica of St. Michael d'Archangel, is 103 meters long, the longest Spanish colonial churches in the Philippines. It was first built in 1585. This is one of the most beautiful churches in the Philippines.
Casa de Comunidad was built as a tribunal by Gobernadorcillo Francisco Lopes in 1776. First made of make shift materials, it became a lavish edifice in 1837. It was finally renovated in 1973 and 1974. The building was declared a National Historical Landmark on June 1,1978. During its heyday, it was said that the building was the largest and one of the most beautiful tribunals in the country. And indeed, it remains to be the most beautiful structure in town and the best preserved. The first story is, made of stone, while the upper floor is made of wood, accented by wide windows of capiz shell latticework. It has a small internal courtyard. The building now serves as a museum and also houses the municipal library.
Kamayan sa Palaisdaan, the town's most prominent restaurant, is a sprawling fishpond where tables are set on floating rafts with thatched roofs and the smoky aroma of seafood being grilled with dried coconut husks constantly hung on the air.
The Galleria Romero is a new feature of a Tayabas tour. Located at 95 Nadres Street, Tayabas, the house was owned by the late Tayabasin artist Jose Romero, who had lived in America but who wished his works to be brought to his hometown and shared through a gallery that would be open to the public.
The gallery then is this two-storey house with a notably contemporary design; crisp interior with high ceiling, walls of glass windows, a strikingly designed stairway, handsome furniture and beautiful home pieces. The modern structure glistens against the backdrop of rows of wooden houses on a quaint suburban street.
Seminar Venue and Accommodations:
Twenty minutes or so by jeepney from the Grand Central Terminal in Lucena City, along the national highway of Tayabas, at Barangay Camaysa, is one of the best resorts in the province of Quezon. This resort-hotel, set in the foot of Mt. Banahaw amid rolling hills, coconut trees, natural springs and cool mountain air has become one of the more favorite choices among other facilities in the province.
A three-storey concrete edifice, the resort hotel is equipped with 10 fully air-conditioned rooms, each equipped with tubs, hot and cold running water, intercoms, television sets, and viewing terraces. Cottages are also available, non-aircon but well-ventilated, with kitchen and dining tables, private bathrooms, and viewing terraces.
The function room at the Clubhouse/Pavilion is fully air-conditioned, with multimedia equipment. Swimming pools and other recreational facilities (billiards, table tennis, karaoke, etc) are available. The Paraiso restaurant has a rustic setting with emphasis on Filipino décor and country ambience.
