"This provides a massive potential for tourism development and education among our fellow Filipinos and our friends from around the world about the history and the heritage of the Filipino people as well as the bravery of our heroes who fought for the freedoms that we enjoy today,” Frasco said. The El Deposito tunnel was the country’s first water reservoir and is one of the oldest and largest remaining Spanish artifacts recently excavated in the country.Ĭurrently, the tunnel is a popular destination for educational institutions as hundreds of buses filled with students for field trips and educational tours visit the place. San Juan's inclusion in the program is said to bolster the cultural, arts, and historical portfolio of the country as it will also feature the 140-year-old historic underground tunnel beneath the Pinaglabanan Memorial Shrine, the El Deposito tunnel. Last May, the DOT launched the Hop-On Hop-Off program that seeks to provide tourists–particularly group travelers and fully independent individual travelers (FITs)–with convenience and flexibility on when and how they will tour a destination through a seamless, contactless transport and tour booking system. "Ako'y lubos na nagpapasalamat sa ating panauhing pandangal, kalihim Christina Garcia Frasco sapagkat bilang kalihim ng Kagawaran ng Turismo, ay alam ko po na napakalaki ng kanyang maitutulong upang lalong makilala ng mga Filipino sa ating bansa at sa ibayong dagat at ganun din ng mga dayuhan ang kahalagahan ng sagradong lugar na ito." Mayor Zamora said Monday during a program in celebration of the 125th Anniversary of Philippine Independence wherein Frasco was the guest of honor. This was after Tourim Secretary Frasco bared her plans for assisting the local government of San Juan for inclusion in the Hop-On Hop-Off tour which will feature historical sites and art galleries as tourist attractions all throughout the metro.
QUEZON CITY, (PIA) – San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora is inviting the public to hop-on and take heritage and art tours in the City’s historical sites and art galleries.
