San Carlos, Component city in Pangasinan, Philippines.
San Carlos is a component city in Pangasinan province in the Ilocos Region, organized into numerous barangays that form its administrative structure. The city functions as a commercial and residential center where neighborhoods, markets, and public facilities serve the local population.
The settlement began as Binalatongan until 1660, when King Charles III of Spain ordered its destruction following local uprisings and renamed it. This turning point marked a rebirth for the community and shaped its later growth.
The Minor Basilica of Saint Dominic serves as a gathering place where local Catholics observe their faith through regular ceremonies and community celebrations. The building shapes how people experience their spiritual life and marks important moments in the city's collective calendar.
The city is reachable by regular bus services from Manila, and local transportation like tricycles and jeepneys help you move around the different areas. Using these shared transport options is a practical way to explore the city's neighborhoods.
The city holds the title of Mango-Bamboo Capital of the Philippines, known for its extensive mango orchards and bamboo plantations. This agricultural focus shapes both the local economy and the appearance of the surrounding land.
