Summary
| Description |
English: Mayantoc, Tarlac[1] Area: 311.42 km² ZIP Code: 2304[2]Coordinates: 15°34'22"N 120°18'8"E[3] [4]Mayantoc, a mountainous grandeur that slopes gently to the east with its isolated pocket hills and rolls ruggedly on its terrain to the west---has an average humidity of 70.08 degrees Celsius--- that is relatively cool compared to other towns in the province of Tarlac, completing the atmosphere-like feel of Baguio City with its tall pine trees lining the side of the road beside the archway leading to the town’s center...2012[5]MAYANTOC: HALLOW GROUND OF NATURAL CALM AND SERENDIPITY --- The first settlers of Mayantoc before the coming of the Christian migrants were the Negritos of the Abelling tribe. As the former arrived in great number, the natives were soon forced to move deeper into the forest areas of Zambales Mountain Range. The Christian settlers, mostly from Ilocos region (notably the towns of Cabugao, Tagudin, Sarrat, Paoay, Sinait and Bacarra), settled in the villages in the southern portion of a then Christian town Camiling, now acknowledged as the mother town ofMayanatoc. The place was then a forested area where enormous rattan palms are found. In 1899, Mayantoc was created as a barrio of Camiling and was inaugurated into a town on January 1, 1917 with Don Francisco Santos y Pascual, the founder of the town, as its first Municipal President. In this historical town, General Francisco Macabulos established his military hide out during the revolutionary government. Mayantoc is a serene hamlet whose hallow ground is a picturesque of natural calm and serendipity. Geographically landscaped with graceful hills and mountains, its falls and streams are breathtakingly gasping and awesome. Aptly, Mayantoc is called as the Summer Capital of Tarlac. --- [N.B. From Bulacan province, 11:00 a.m. I reached Santa Ignacia, Tarlac at 3:26 p.m, as I begun to take my first of about 600 photos amid scorching heat of the sun, 36 deg Centigrade; then I did photo Camiling's Sant Maria barangay, the Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, the Christian Church and the Welcome Arch at 4:34 p.m.; I took photos of Mayantoc, the Summer capital of Tarlac at 4:56 p.m and finished photography at 6:19 p.m. the St. Joseph Parish Church of Mayantok.] |
