🌿 SEVEN LAKES, ONE HERITAGE, ENDLESS CULTURE, LIMITLESS POSSIBILITIES. 🌊✨

Ngayong Philippine Tourism Month 2026, ipinagdiriwang ng Lungsod ng San Pablo ang mga kuwento, tradisyon, likas na yaman, at pamanang patuloy na nagbibigay-buhay sa ating pagkakakilanlan bilang Lungsod ng Pitong Lawa.

Mula sa ating mga lawa at makasaysayang pook, hanggang sa sining, kultura, lokal na pamayanan, at makabagong paraan ng paglalakbay—patuloy nating binubuksan ang San Pablo sa mas maraming oportunidad sa pamamagitan ng Digital Agenda and Artificial Intelligence to Redesign Tourism.

💙 Discover. Experience. Preserve. Share—Digitally.
Dahil sa San Pablo City, ang turismo ay hindi lamang tungkol sa lugar na ating pinupuntahan—ito ay tungkol sa mga kuwentong ating pinapahalagahan at ipinapasa sa susunod na henerasyon.

San Pablo City — Culture. Heritage. Nature. Together, Ready for the Future.

Happy Philippine Tourism Month 2026! 🇵🇭🌴

Mas nagiging makulay ang cultural tourism scene ng San Pablo City habang naghahanda ang San Pablo Art Circuit para sa Artstravaganza 2026, isang buwang selebrasyon ng sining, kultura at lokal na pagkamalikhain na isinasagawa bilang bahagi ng Museums and Galleries Month ngayong Oktubre.

Ngayong Setyembre 1, 2026, nag-courtesy call kay Acting City Mayor Carmela A. Acebedo ang mga miyembro ng San Pablo Art Circuit upang ibahagi ang kanilang mga programa at inisyatibo para sa nasabing pagdiriwang.

Pangunahing tampok ang Artstravaganza 2026, na nakatakdang ganapin mula Oktubre 3 hanggang 31, 2026. Pinag-uugnay nito ang iba’t ibang art galleries, creative spaces, museums at heritage destinations mula sa San Pablo City at mga karatig-lugar.

Kabilang sa mga kalahok ang Verbena Gallery, Art Barn, Studio 88, Villa Escudero, The Lakehouse, Farmer’s District, Art Corridor, Paraiso de Avedad, Color Commune, Komikero Komiks Museum, Ugu Bigyan, Sulyap at Fule-Malvar Mansion.

Sa pamamagitan ng Artstravaganza, mas nabibigyan ng pagkakataon ang publiko at mga bisita na makilala ang mga lokal na artista, obra, creative spaces at heritage destinations na bumubuo sa natatanging cultural identity ng San Pablo.

Higit pa sa pagiging tahanan ng pitong lawa, patuloy na ipinakikilala ng lungsod ang sarili bilang isang destinasyong mayaman din sa sining, kasaysayan, kultura at malikhaing komunidad.

Sa pakikipagtulungan ng lokal na pamahalaan, cultural institutions at local artists, patuloy na lumalawak ang espasyo para sa sining at mas napapalakas ang cultural tourism sa Lungsod ng San Pablo.

Nagtipon ang iba’t ibang sektor ng Lungsod ng San Pablo noong Agosto 31, 2026 sa Doña Leonila Park upang makiisa sa paggunita ng Araw ng mga Bayani, isang mahalagang okasyon na nagbibigay-pugay sa tapang, sakripisyo, at pagmamahal sa bayan ng mga Pilipinong naging bahagi ng kasaysayan ng bansa.

Pinangunahan ang programa ng Lokal na Pamahalaan ng San Pablo sa pamumuno ni Acting City Mayor Carmela A. Acebedo, kasama ang Sangguniang Panlungsod sa pangunguna ni Acting Vice Mayor Shaira Aliyah A. Diaz, gayundin ang mga opisyal at kinatawan mula sa iba’t ibang tanggapan ng pamahalaang lungsod.

Nakiisa rin ang mga kinatawan mula sa iba’t ibang ahensiya ng Pamahalaang Nasyunal, kabilang ang Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), Philippine National Police (PNP), Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP), at Department of Education (DepEd), sa pangunguna ni Dr. Gerlie M. Ilagan, CESO VI, Schools Division Superintendent.

Bilang bahagi ng seremonya, mahigit 40 non-government at civic organizations ang naghandog ng mga bulaklak sa Bantayog ng mga Bayani, tanda ng sama-samang pagkilala sa mga Pilipinong nag-alay ng kanilang buhay at kakayahan para sa kalayaan at kapakanan ng bayan.

Sa kanyang mensahe, binigyang-halaga ni Dr. Ilagan ang papel ng bawat mamamayan sa pagpapatuloy ng diwa ng kabayanihan sa pamamagitan ng pagiging responsable, aktibo, at makabuluhang bahagi ng komunidad.

Ibinahagi naman ni Acting Mayor Acebedo na ang kabayanihan ay hindi lamang nasusukat sa mga dakilang gawa ng nakaraan. Sa kasalukuyang panahon, naipapakita rin ito sa simpleng ngunit mahalagang paraan—sa tapat na paglilingkod, malasakit sa kapwa, pagkakaisa, maayos na pagtupad sa tungkulin, at patuloy na pagmamahal sa bayan.

Ang taunang paggunita ay isa ring paraan upang mapanatiling buhay ang kasaysayan, kultura, at pagpapahalagang Pilipino na bahagi ng pagkakakilanlan ng San Pablo City. Sa pamamagitan ng mga ganitong pagtitipon, patuloy na naipapasa sa susunod na henerasyon ang pagpapahalaga sa mga bayaning humubog sa ating bansa at sa diwang makabayan na patuloy na nagbibigay-inspirasyon sa bawat San Pableño.

Masiglang tampok sa Pamana Hall, City Capitol ang KADIWA ng Pangulo, kung saan maaaring mamili ang publiko ng sariwang ani, pagkain, handicrafts, at iba’t ibang produktong lokal.

Agosto 27, 2026
7:00 AM–3:00 PM
Pamana Hall, City Capitol

Layunin ng programa na mailapit sa mamamayan ang abot-kaya at de-kalidad na mga produkto habang nagbibigay ng mas magandang oportunidad sa mga magsasaka, MSMEs, at lokal na negosyante na direktang maipakilala at maibenta ang kanilang mga produkto.

Higit sa simpleng pamilihan, ang KADIWA ay isang paraan upang palakasin ang lokal na ekonomiya at kabuhayan ng komunidad.

Tara na sa Pamana Hall—mamili, tumangkilik, at suportahan ang sariling atin!

During the COVID-19 pandemic, almost everything came to a sudden halt. Busy streets fell silent, daily commutes disappeared, and the familiar rush of life was replaced by uncertainty. Yet while the world stood still, one thing remained constant—the need to provide for families.

Fortunately, San Pablo City, Laguna is home to a thriving coconut industry, where discarded coconut shells are a common byproduct. Once the juice and meat are removed, the shells are often neglected as waste.
