Mindful meoweler tips

Popular Local Dish (with cat twist)

Try the 'Lechon Cat' - it's a whole roasted pig stuffed with herbs and spices, commonly served during fiestas and other celebrations.

Respectful Gestures

In the Philippines, it is customary to address elders and people in positions of authority with 'po' and 'opo'. Greeting cats with a gentle head nod is also appreciated!

Famous Landmark

The Guagua Church, also known as the Santa Filomena Parish Church, is a historic Spanish Baroque church built in the 1700s. It features intricate carvings and decorations that make for an impressive sight.
