THREE hours can be a boring trip but if you let your eyes be amused by the green scenery and the atmosphere of a province, it won’t be.
As we were on our way to the Pantabangan Dam, the sights of the green fields and the bathing carabao (water buffalo) in a stream tell me how serene and simple life can be in the province.
Though the landscape of the province can be relaxing to the eyes, the zigzag road can make one feel dizzy. No wonder why some of our companions chose to sleep.
It took us three hours before we reached our destination -- Pantabangan dam in Nueva Ecija. It so happened that there were three routes going to the dam. We took the Rizal-Llanera-Pantabangan route. We should have taken the shortcut from Munoz but we were given wrong directions. So we got lost.
Before we entered the Pantabangan Complex, where the Pantabangan dam is located, we passed by security inspection at the gate. Inside the complex, you’ll also find hydro-electric power plants, a hotel, and barangay (village).
The scenic view of the
Pantabangan dam enveloped by the Sierra Madre mountain was worth the long trip. The view would be a sure delight to photographers and painters who love to paint and take photos of landscapes.
The Pantabangan dam is one of the most visited tourist spots in Nueva Ecija, the tourism department says.
