THE CHURCHES OF DEL GALLEGO, CAMARINES SUR AND TAGKAWAYAN, QUEZON

On our way back to Manila, we passed by two more parish churches of Del Gallego, Camarines Sur and Tagkawayan, Quezon.  Del Gallego is located at the northeastern edge of the  province of Camarines Sur directly bordering the southern end of Quezon. It is in fact the first town of Camarines Sur that travelers encounter when entering the Bicol Region from Quezon Province via the Maharlika Highway. The parish belongs to the Diocese of Libmanan.

Tagkawayan, on the other hand,  is the southernmost municipality of Quezon along the Maharlika Highway before one enters the Bicol Region through Del Gallego. Because of this strategic location, the town has long served as a crossroads between Southern Luzon and Bicol. Tagkawayan belongs to the Diocese of Gumaca.
