Old Train Station Promises Tourism
SAN FERNANDO CITY, Pampanga — The city government here is optimistic of the potential of the historic San Fernando Train Station to become a major tourist attraction in Central Luzon.
The city government has recently signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA) for the transformation of its defunct historic train station into a tourist attraction.
Under the agreement, TIEZA will undertake the rehabilitation of the train station before turning it over to the city government for continuous maintenance and operation.
Located in Barangay Sto. Niño, the San Fernando Train Station was inaugurated by Governor-General Eulogio Despujol and Manila Archbishop Bernardino Nozaleda on February 23, 1892.
According to historical accounts, Dr. Jose Rizal debarked from the station on June 27, 1892 and again the next day en route to Bacolor town.
It was the ending point of the infamous 1942 Death March from which Filipino and American soldiers were carted to their final destination- Camp O’Donnell in Capas, Tarlac.
Prior to the MOA signing, San Fernando Mayor Oscar Rodriguez led the lighting of the “Apoy ng Katapangan” at the Bataan Death March stone marker in the train station as part of the commemoration rites of the heroism and greatness of the Filipino fighters.
Rodriguez stressed that every Filipino owes the freedom they enjoy at present to people who gave their lives to fight oppressors.
“It is our obligation to inform the public about these things. We must instill in the mind of our youth the sacrifice and self-denials of these heroes,” Rodriguez said.
Heritage and Culture preservation is included in the 8-point agenda of Rodriguez administration. This includes the restoration and preservation of historical sites to perpetuate their important contributions to our glorious past.
Rodriguez said the train station is one of the many historic sites and structures that the city intends to preserve.
