A Sneak Peak into Lucena

Holidays to Lucena land you in Quezon province's capital, this port city where ferries leave for Marinduque and buses head everywhere else.

Pancit hab-hab is the food thing here, noodles on a banana leaf you eat without utensils, supposedly.
Used to be called Tayabas way back, renamed after some revolutionary figure nobody remembers much about.
Two hours from Manila if traffic cooperates on the expressway, four hours if it doesn't.
The port area smells like fish and diesel, the markets are chaotic, and the heat hits differently here for some reason.
Capital: Lucena City is the capital of Quezon province
International airport: Manila's airports are the nearest, a couple of hours away
Currency: Philippine Peso (PHP)
Time zone: UTC+8 (Philippine Standard Time)
Driving side: Right-hand side
