I was able to visit CLARK AIR BASE numerous times already but never had the chance to visit the city proper of MABALACAT.
This time since I was again included as member of the PAF HONOR ESCORT BATTALION, I opted to take a short visit to the city proper of MABALACAT during our day break from rehearsals.
It was about 15 to 20 minutes travel time in a JEEPNEY bound for MABALACAT for 10 pesos fare from the terminal outside CLARK AIR BASE (near SM CLARK).
MABALACAT is derived from the type of a tree called "BALACAT" which was abundant in the place.

I alighted infront of the church.
I took several pictures of the church while walking towards it...

It was again another worthwhile journey since even for an hour of stay I was able to went inside and attend mass in MABALACAT CHURCH and also had a short stroll within the city proper of MABALACAT.
One thing that really disappoint me is the presence of IRRESPONSIBLE SMOKERS within MABALACAT BUS TERMINAL in DAU. Bus dispatchers, drivers, conductors, and other employees of the terminal are freely smoking inside the terminal not minding the health hazards from tobacco smokes being inhaled by non-smokers and children who are majority of the passengers in the terminal. IRRESPONSIBLE PASSENGERS also smoke within the said terminal. Additionally, there is no single "NO SMOKING" signage inside the terminal. These are blatant violations of RA 9211 and LTFRB Memorandum Circular 2009-036 which clearly state that CIGARETTE SMOKING is strictly prohibited in PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION TERMINALS and "NO SMOKING" signages are required to be posted by the management in the public transportation terminal.
