In case you are wondering where General Trias City is found, it is located in Cavite, and is one of the progressive towns in the province.  It is but a stone's throw away from the CEPZA (Cavite Export Processing Zone) In fact, due to many constructions and developments around the area, traffic has become horrendous.  What used to be a sluggish town has become a bustling area.  The influx of businesses catering to Korean tourists also contributed to the sudden economic surge in the area. In case you will find yourself in the area, here are 5 things you can do: 1.  Visit and Pray at St. Francis of Assisi Parish Church: There are many St. Francis of Assisi Parish Churches in the Philippines.  I can name at least 3.  But this is a historical church and is one of the oldest churches in the province of Cavite.  This church is admired for its attractive architecture and religious significance .

If you are fond or a lover of organic food, the kind that screams of chemical-free goodness and gourmet cooking, then you should definitely drive to Los Banos , Laguna and try the meals and preparations that only Herb Republic can create.  Herb Republic is located conveniently at Lopez Avenue, the road that will take you at the doorstep of UP Los Banos.  I can guarantee that every centavo you will be paying for the meal is well-spent.  You will enjoy their food, just like I did.   One of the best-seller is their very own Herb Republic Sandwich.  What I like about it is the soft bread that they use.  It probably was the softest sandwich bread I have ever had the pleasure to eat.  It is packed and complete with the greens and meat that you are looking for in a sandwich.  It is a good starter if you ask me. While you are still debating which to order.   The price is not really that average if you ask me but if you consider the goo...
