Lubao
Spend a half‑day in Lubao: visit the Macapagal Museum, San Agustin Church and Plaza, then head to nearby towns; no overnight needed.
Lubao is a historic lowland town in Pampanga, gateway to Bataan and Zambales. Its main attractions – the Macapagal Museum, San Agustin Church and Plaza – are clustered near the municipal hall and can be seen in a few hours. Tricycles connect barangays, and the town is on the main highway from Manila to the west coast, making it a quick stopover rather than a base.
