Grand Central Terminal

One of the things that makes places ideal to live in is their accessibility, and here in Lucena City, we have the Lucena Grand Central Terminal to take care of that.

Located at Barangay Ilayang Dupay, Lucena City, the Grand Central Terminal is home to several lines of buses that carry commuters all over Quezon Province and neighboring towns and cities in the CALABARZON and Bicol regions.

Below is a partial list of the different routes that buses, jeepneys, and vans — the main modes of public transportation in the city — travel as well as the minimum fare they usually charge.

Ugo Bigyan Pottery

The place is not easy to find. There are no markers, no signs along the road. But people still strive to find this great, relaxing place in Tiaong, Quezon Province.

There’s good food, zen-like garden, and of course, pretty pottery items. It’s a long drive from Manila, but it’s worth it.

Occasionally, Ugu gives pottery and cooking lessons. It’s an ideal place for people wishing to de-stress on a weekend.

Sentrong Pamilihan

Established in 2004, the SPPAQFI Bagsakan Center then had a profit-driven management system that was unfavorable to both traders and farmers. This led to its irregular operations and eventually, its fall.

In 2007, Congressman Proceso Alcala took over the management of the center. Armed with a vision of helping Sariaya’s farmers achieve a better quality of life, Alcala re-established the bagsakan into an institution and assigned Arnulfo Mañalac as its administrator.

Initially, the office of the congressman paid SPPAQFI’s operational costs. Now, the foundation acquires funds by charging farmers a participation fee of P2 per kilo of vegetables.

The foundation buys seeds and fertilizers from private companies. The companies were skeptical then about the ability of the foundation to handle a huge amount of credit. Eventually, the increase in the distributors’ sales encouraged the companies to transact directly with the foundation.

In some cases, farmers intentionally did not pay off the inputs with their produce. Thus, SPPAQFI decided to transfer the management of loans to the rural banks. This awakened a sense of responsibility among farmers who now pay off their borrowed capital.

To guarantee further that the farmers would deliver their produce to the bagsakan center, SPPAQFI provides them with production inputs.
