Bayombong, municipality of the Philippines and capital of the province of Nueva Vizcaya
Bayombong is a municipality in Nueva Vizcaya in the Philippines and serves as the provincial administrative center. The town comprises several barangays with gentle hills, flat areas near the river, and simple streets lined with houses and small shops.
The town was officially founded in 1739 after Spanish friars arrived in the early 17th century and brought Christianity to the region. Its roots trace back to the Gaddang people, who originally resisted outside invaders seeking to settle their lands.
The name Bayombong comes from the Gaddang language and means "confluence of rivers". The town reflects the daily life and traditions of the Gaddang people, visible in the streets, markets, and local shops where residents gather and conduct their routines.
Many buses from Metro Manila and neighboring regions pass through or stop in the town. Visitors can also rent a car or use public transport such as jeepneys and tricycles to move around the town and its surroundings.
A very old acacia tree stands in the town and has watched over Bayombong for more than 100 years. The tree is a silent monument to the town's long history and the many changes it has experienced.
