La Trinidad - is not yet a city but it is on the process. It is a first class municipality and the capital of the province of Benguet. It is the strawberry fields and rose capital of the Philippines. It was also recognized by the Guinness Book of World Record for baking the world's largest strawberry shortcake, at 21,213.40 pounds (9,622.24 kg), at the La Trinidad Strawberry Festival on March 20, 2004.
Agriculture, unity, peaceful
Agriculture - La Trinidad is an agricultural and mountainous area where various cutflowers and vegetables grow. Strawberry is the most famous product where you can pick it in the fields or buy directly from the farm. It has its own trading post where farmers sell their various products to the consumers. I remember when I was in college, we went to the strawberry fields to pick some strawberries and that time, it is free to pick strawberries and eat it. Nowadays, if you pick and eat, you need to pay for it.
Unity - the people unites for the improvement of the town through various activities and cultural practices, protect the residents and tourists for safety implementation of traffic laws and social justice, and effective delivery of social services to all the residents especially to the poor, underprivileged and vulnerable groups. During any cultural activities, young, adult or senior citizens are available to unite in celebrating and preserving the rich culture that we still upholds until now.
Peaceful - La Trinidad aims to provide safe and peaceful environment to everyone who resides in the area and even the tourists. The police force asked for the support of the community and barangay leaders to help in the conduct of information, education, and communication campaign in the different communities, particularly on safety and security concerns and other anti-crime advocacies to ensure safer barangays and a more peaceful municipality. I can still remember when I was young, I can stroll and walk alone at night. What I am most scared are the bigger trees and ghost😅
Therefore, my town La Trinidad is an agricultural area where unity is promoted and peaceful environment for all.
