Talugtug is 3 1/2 miles drive away from Clark Airport, Philippines. It is in the province of Nueva Ecija, which is politically subdivided into 28 barangays.
It has only a population of 20,671 people in 4,168 households. As we entered this small village , we passed by golden brown padi fields that stretches for miles and miles away. Despite the distance, I believe this is one place with the most number of churches, both Catholics & Protestants. Reaching out to them seemed easier than the people from other well-developed nations.
John 4:35 Jesus said, “Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white unto harvest …”. The idea that we came as the laborers for the harvest seemed to fit in nicely ha!ha!
Here, the local folks still pump water from the well, they lived in bamboo houses with attap-thatched or zinc roof-top. Most households have at least an acre of padi fields so you will notice that every meals come served with rice. The church in Talugtug is helmed by a young preacher, bro. Mel, a graduate from Four Seas college. Most of the members comprised of family members and are somewhat related to each other through marriage.
