Monasterio De Tarlac
Nope, not Rio De Janeiro of Brazil, this is Monasterio De Tarlac. This monasterio is a favorite tourist spots both from devotees and tourists alike. Located at the top of Mount Resurrection part of Zambales Mountain Range in San Jose, Tarlac.
It was a long tricycle drive but definitely worth it at the top. There's a church and a calvary and this destination is always full especially during Holy Week.
It became a part of my bucket list when I learned about its similarities on Rio De Janeiro. The huge Risen Christ statue. Aside from the colossal statue, it also became popular because of the Relic of the True Cross enshrined inside the monastery chapel.

My trip to this colossal status of the Risen Christ and home of the Relic of the True Cross in Tarlac dated last August 19, 2015 is an official entry to my 81 Before 30 Challenge.
