Cabanatuan, Commercial metropolis in Nueva Ecija, Philippines.
Cabanatuan is a commercial metropolis in Nueva Ecija, Philippines, serving as a major economic center in Central Luzon. The city spreads across a large area with residential neighborhoods, business districts, and public spaces organized into numerous administrative divisions.
This settlement originated in 1750 as a neighborhood of Gapan and became the provincial capital of Nueva Ecija thirty years later. The administrative role transferred to San Isidro in 1850, while the city continued its economic development.
The Banatu Festival presents local customs through musical performances, art exhibitions, and demonstrations of Philippine cooking traditions. This annual celebration brings together residents and visitors to experience regional heritage through shared activities.
The central bus terminal offers regular connections to Manila and other provinces throughout the day. Travelers find orientation resources and information about connections to different destinations across the region.
In January 1945, American Rangers and Philippine guerrillas carried out a rescue mission that freed more than 500 American prisoners of war from the local camp. This operation later became one of the most documented events of the Pacific War and inspired several books and films.
