Tarlac City, Provincial capital in Central Luzon, Philippines
Tarlac City spans across plains and hills along the Tarlac River, serving as a major administrative and commercial center for the Tarlac province.
The settlement emerged in 1788 when people from Bacolor, Pampanga established a community, with the name derived from a grass type prevalent in the region.
The Malatarlak Festival in January presents indigenous Aeta traditions alongside performances from Kapampangan, Pangasinense, Ilocano, and Tagalog communities.
The city provides extensive transportation connections through MacArthur Highway, with multiple bus companies offering routes to northern Philippine destinations.
The Belenismo festival transforms the city into a grand display of nativity scenes, making Tarlac recognized as the Belen Capital of the Philippines.
