Just about an hour drive from where I live via the
Villasis-Malasiqui route, dropping by Dagupan City even without any itinerary has
become a habit. It was one of those walks around the town moments when we
dropped by the city plaza and St. John Cathedral after scouring the fish market
in Magsaysay road for an affordable fresh catch.
Dagupan City Plaza
While some may appreciate a few historical monuments in the
area, it’s the free benches shaded by trees which attracts more people. It sure
is a good place to catch your breath after walking around down town.
St. John Cathedral
Just a few walks from the plaza is the St. John Cathedral with
its neo-classic design appeal. What always catch my attention though are the religious
statues towering over each gate post surrounding the church. You’ll be amused
to know that the church is also adjacent to a chapel which can serve as your
shortcut to the nearby market.
Bangus Festival 2014
It’s almost April by the way. You’ll have more reasons to
drop by Dagupan other than these two interesting places. The Bangus Festival
2014 starts on April 1. The activities are listed on the city’s official website.
