Luzon is by far the largest island in the Philippines, with Metro Manila standing as the Philippines capital.

Going north of Luzon is a rich panoramic view of green landscapes, old Spanish houses and the city of Baguio, which is encircled with the scent of pines and flowers, tagged as the summer capital. Near to it are the strawberry fields and vegetable farms of Bontoc and the Trinidad valley,

and the grandeur of the Banaue Rice Terraces, which are mountain ranges carved centuries ago by the Ifugao tribe and hailed as the eight wonder of the world.

Lining the north western slopes of Luzon are the provincial towns of Ilocos, Pangasinan and La Union, famous for a number of world class resorts as well as scuba diving.

Surrounding Metro Manila are the provinces of Pampanga, the culinary capital of Luzon; Bulacan, known for home-made sweets; Rizal, the artists’ town; Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, and Quezon. Cavite has Tagaytay City, hosting the country’s smallest volcano, Mt. Taal with a lake within its cone plus an island. Laguna offers Mt. Makiling, which has a series of mineral spring baths set amidst a green forest filled with wild orchids and tropical ferns. Waterfalls, hot healing springs and a general abundance of water resources characterize the fertile plains which encircle Laguna de Bay, the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia.

Batangas, like Ilocos, is filled with dive resorts sprinkled throughout the province.
Quezon is a province that is famous for its Pahiyas festival. During this festival, the facades of the houses are adorned with colored leaf shaped rice wafers artistically arranged with fruits and vegetables. Towards the southeast of this province is Albay, famous for the location of Mayon volcano, world renown for its almost perfect cone.

Opposite of southern Luzon is a small island called, Mindoro. It is famous for its natives called, the ‘mangyans’ wearing only g-string.

So far, JECPP has only touched several areas in Luzon. On the western side of Luzon is the island of Palawan. It is a mini-archipelago situated between Mindoro island and north Borneo, commonly called as the ‘last frontier’. It is famous for its Underground River and African safari. In Palawan, JECPP planted a church in the island’s capital, Puerto Princesa with two more barangay churches. Though a lot has been done by many evangelical and Pentecostal groups in the previous years being the seat of the nation’s capital, there remain a great number of souls that needs to be won for God’s kingdom. This poses a challenge to the churches and that includes no less than JECPP.

A town church was also planted in Binan, Laguna. In Mindoro Oriental, a town church is situated right in the heart of the province.
