YOU have to hand it to the Lakbay Norte team of the NLEX Corp. for uncovering many of the hidden gems, especially in Luzon. NLEX Corp.'s network of world-class expressways has made it possible to reach these destinations safely and in less time.
Take the case of Zambales, a province I have visited many times. Named after the Sambal people, the original inhabitants of this region on Luzon's west coast, Zambales holds many hidden treasures beyond the usual spots like Olongapo or Subic Bay.
