Situated on top of a mountain is the Monasterio De Tarlac. It houses the relic of the True Cross of Jesus.
The spacious property offers a panoramic view of Tarlac. The noticeable silence in the place is a sure welcome from the noisy city.
There are two sets of the Stations of the Cross. One is for the less agile and the other is for those who are ready to go up and down the hills under the searing heat of the sun.

I love the peace and serenity the place gives. Up there, it is easier to be "holy" and "follow" Jesus' steps. But reality has to take over and I eventually need to go down to the real world.
The relic of the true cross is exposed only twice a year. On January 30 and on September 14, the feast of the Holy Cross. A mass is being offered at 10:30am every Saturday and Sunday.

How to go there:
Take the NLEX, exit at St. Ines, Mabalacat, Pampanga. Just follow the road going to Tarlac. At Brgy. San Sebastian, look for Hon Kee Tea House (right side) and turn left. At the end of the 36-kilometer scenic road is Brgy. Lubigan where the Monasterio is located. Various signages are posted along the way.
