The very first thing I stated to myself when I stepped in the town of Lucban was “OMG, I belong.” I’ve always liked anything bright as well as vibrant. It’s like if I die as well as I get reincarnated into a Philippine Festival, I’d most likely be Pahiyas. (Not that celebrations are living things. however you get the point.)
The Pahiyas celebration is celebrated every may 15 in Lucban, Quezon, in honor of the municipality’s customer saint, San Isidro Labrador (St. Isidore the Farmer). It’s the locals’ method of providing thanks for the bountiful gather over the past year. After an early morning mass at Lucban Church, a parade goes around town, passing by homes that are decorated with vegetables, fruits, handicrafts, as well as kiping, leaf-shaped paper-like decors made of rice. The grander, the better. The more vibrant the home is, the more people it attracts.
If Pahiyas is your type of celebration too, make sure that you’re well-prepared for a visit.

How to get to Lucban, Quezon
Lucban is a second-class municipality in Quezon bordering Tayabas to the south, Sampaloc to the north, as well as the province of Laguna to the east. It is in close proximity to a number of cities where transportation choices are plenty including Lucena as well as Tayabas in Quezon, as well as Calamba as well as Sta. Cruz in Laguna.
By Public Transportation.
There are a number of choices to reach Lucban from Manila. There are vans, buses or jeeps in most of the close-by cities, however this is the path that I have tried: via Lucena City.
1. From Cubao, EDSA-Kamuning, or EDSA-Buendia, take a bus to Lucena City (Fare: P225, travel time: 4-5 hours).
2. At the Lucena Grand Terminal, trip a jeepney to Lucban (Fare: P30, travel time: 30-45 minutes).
By personal Car
1. Take the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX).
2. Take Calamba or Sto. Tomas exit. If you exit in Calamba, you’ll be passing with numerous towns in Laguna (Los Banos, Bay, Pila, Sta. Cruz, Pagsanjan, Cavinti, Luisiana) up until you reach Lucban. travel time: 2.5-3 hours.
If you take Sto. Tomas, you’ll be passing with Alaminos as well as San Pablo in Laguna, as well as Tiaong, Candelaria, as well as Sariaya in Quezon. When you reach Tayabas, comply with the Tayabas-Lucban Road. travel time: 3.5-4 hours.
You can discover auto parking areas outside of the parade path (and outside the town proper). You may walk or take the tricycle to go around.
Remember: you’re going to a fiesta. as well as just like any type of fiesta in the Philippines, web traffic is expected. Whether you’re taking public or personal transportation, the key is to leave as early as possible so you show up in Lucban just in time for the 6am mass, which signals the begin of the parade.
What to perform in Lucban
The government of Lucban usually has prepared a number of activities lined up for the occasion. It’s always finest to get a hold of the listing of activities particularly if you’re planning on staying in the next days. however if you’re staying for just a day (May 15), here’s what you can do.
Pahiyas Festival
Pahiyas Festival
Attend the 6am Mass. This signals the begin of the parade. however take the time to notice the church. officially named San Luis Obispo de Tolosa Parish Church, this Lucban church is really its third version. The very first was developed in 1595 however was ruined in 1629. The second building was built from 1630 to 1640 however was destroyed in a terminate in 1733. The present church was completed in 1738.
Follow the parade. The parade begins after the very first mass. It goes around town, passing by the embellished homes participating in the Timpalak Pahiyas. If that’s as well congested for you, you can roam on your own, take photos, as well as converse with locals.
Visit Kamay ni Hesus Healing Church, a relaxed place, perfect for Catholic pilgrims who want a moment of tranquility. warning though: on this day, even this area can get overcrowded. Also, if you wanna see the entire place, prepare for an uphill battle. It’s found outside the town appropriate so you may want to take a tricycle to get here.
Food trip! There is street food everywhere! You’ll discover kiosks selling pancit habhab (a noodle meal served on banana leaves or plastic bags as well as eaten without utensils), longganisang lucban (local sausages), as well as pilipit (a type of fried dough confectionery similar to donuts however twisted).
Speaking of food….

Kde zostať
Cestovné cestovné ruchy v meste počas Pahiyas však po zvyšok roka nie sú mimoriadne aktívne. Preto sú ubytovacie výbery v Lucbane mimoriadne obmedzené, aby sa uvádzali najmenej.
Resort Batis Aramin, ako aj hotel. Najznámejšie miesto, ktoré zostane v Lucban,. Tento park, ktorý leží oproti Kamay Ni Hesus, je iba 5 až 10 minút od centra mesta. Skontrolujte sadzby tu: Batis Aramin.
Ďalšie miesta na pobyt sú v Lucban:
Orena’s Inn Hotel, ako aj letovisko
Manasa Farm, ako aj jarné letovisko
Mnohí sa rozhodnú s letoviskom mimo Lucban. To je tiež v poriadku. Rovnako ako možno uvažujete o tom, že idete na burgos Pagbilao-Padre, aby ste sa dostali na ostrovné, navštívili pláž Borawan, ako aj na ostrov Damalitan, ako aj možno tam stráviť noc. Poviem vám už teraz: nie. Tieto ostrovy sú preťažené aj v bežných letných dňoch. Práve sem v ten istý deň Pahiyas zdvojnásobí čísla. S najväčšou pravdepodobnosťou sa vám to nebude páčiť. Pozri inde. Práve tu sú ďalšie možnosti:
Liliw, ako aj Majayjay, Laguna. Pri rieke sú malé horské strediská.
San Pablo City, Laguna. Prasa, rovnako ako vidíte sedem jazier, keď ste tam.
