The first town in Batangas using the South Super Highway is the town of Sto. Tomas. The next stop is my hometown, Tanauan City.
Batangas is known for a variety of tourist spots. The town of Sto. Tomas lives up to that reputation.
Here are the tourist spots in Sto. Tomas.
Gen. Miguel Malvar Shrine
According to history, Gen. Miguel Malvar was one of the first Filipinos to have joined the revolution against the Americans and the last General to have surrendered to the Americans on April 16, 1092.
The shrine is in the town itself and behind the shrine is the Municipal Hall of Sto. Tomas.

Hi! We are planning to go on a Batangas pilgrimage tomorrow. I was looking for a picnic place. We are a church group of about 30 pax. So I was wondering if you could give some info about Talon Falls. If we're coming from Padre Pio Shrine, how many kns before reaching Talon? We will be using a service van; do you think it can take us straight to the place? Thanks :)
