further north from san jose, you will find the town of gerona in tarlac, the town boast of being the halfway to the north.

Halfway to the north

located in gerona, tarlac is a restaurant slowly earning a name in the industry, not just because of it’s delicious food but other attractions within the restaurant, i wasn’t able to capture the picture of the foods, sobrang gutom na kasi, we arrived there past 2pm.

attractions includes statues larger than life.

and impersonators (1/13, f5, iso 100, 48mm).

Ka Freddie

and the wall of hate where you can throw fragile obects plates, cups and alike to this wall (1/250, f5, iso 100, 18mm).

Taksyapo!

you can buy the items that you wish to smash on the wall, i even saw a broken television set being sold for 300 pesos and just throw it while shouting “tacsiyapo” (sorry but i don’t know what tacsiyapo means) to release your hate.

nex stop, capas war memorial.

    kneeko, maganda talaga ang arrangement ng mga babasaging plato, nakakahinayang basagin!

    My mom wants to release her anger. Malapit na bday niya so I think this is a good place.

    “Tacsiyapo” is kapampangan fo r “Bwisit”! (ayon sa ibang sites :))

    Kaya sirena, di yata matutuwa ang owner kung sisigawan mo siya ng “Taciyapo!!!!”
