The Capas National Shrine is a very important historical site to the Filipinos, because this represents the one who died in Camp 0'Donell at the end of the Bataan Death March. It is a 54-acre memorial park, centered by a 70m needle-shaped obelisk standing solemnly at the end of the flag-lined boulevard. The obelisk is surrounded by a black marble wall engraved with the names of the Filipinos and Americans known to have died. Located at the forest there is a tree called "whisper tree" where every visitor of tourist visits that place and they will be reminded about the soldiers and their heroic act. 

·  Monasterio de Tarlac is where the Relic of the Holy Cross can be found. It is a 30-foot statue of the Risen Christ placed on top of a mountain at San Jose in Tarlac. The monastery is run by the Servants of the Risen Christ Monastic Community, founded by Fr. Ronald Thomas Cortez in 1998.  This is a perfect place for visitors to have a holy and spiritual pilgrimage. Visitors who go to the Monasterio de Tarlac now can enjoy an unobstructed view of nature from the hilltop now known as Mountain of Resurrection. The baroque chapel with a striking façade is built in the middle of the secluded compound, surrounded by a piazza remindful of European churches.
