Cabanatuan City, a first-class city in Nueva Ecija, is located approximately 3 hours (164 km) away northeast of Manila. It is known as the "Tricycle Capital of the Philippines," with over 30,000 tricycles. As of the 2024 census, it has a population of 343,672, making it the most populous city in the province and the fifth in the Central Luzon region. It is also one of the rising and developing cities in Central Luzon. The city is a hub for economic, educational, and commercial activities, enriched by historical sites and a vibrant culture. Highlights of Cabanatuan's virtual tour include:.

1. Freedom Park: A two-hectare provincial park designed by American architect William E. Parsons During the Colonial Period. Its historical significance stems from its role as a holding area for Filipino prisoners of war during World War II, making it a place for reflection and honoring national heroes.

2. Old Nueva Ecija Provincial Capitol: Built in 1912 and designed in a neoclassical style by Parsons, this building sits adjacent to Freedom Park. It served as the provincial capitol until 1965, when Palayan became the new capital.

3. Plaza Lucero: Located next to the Saint Nicholas of Tolentine Cathedral, this plaza is named after General Manuel Tinio Lucero, a Filipino revolutionary hero who was executed in 1901. Its historical importance is heightened by its proximity to the cathedral, which is notable for the assassination of General Antonio Luna on June 5, 1899, by soldiers loyal to Emilio Aguinaldo.

4. Saint Nicholas of Tolentine Cathedral (Cabanatuan Cathedral): Established as a parish in 1730, this cathedral serves as the seat of the Diocese of Cabanatuan. Its architecture showcases elements from both the Spanish and American colonial periods, featuring a striking façade, a bell tower, and a spacious interior.

Overall, the tour emphasizes Cabanatuan's rich history and cultural vibrancy, highlighting its significance in the region.
