# Camiling

Camiling is a town located in the province of Tarlac in Central Luzon, the Philippines.

## Understand

Camiling is one of the fastest-growing towns of Tarlac when it comes to income and economy. It is a culturally and historically-rich town of more than 80,000 residents, complete with its historic baroque-style church, a museum dedicated to the real-life Maria Clara, and delicious "chicharón and iniruban" delicacies.
Camiling is sometimes called the "Old Lady in the Northwestern province of Tarlac" because it is one of the oldest municipality created by the Spanish government under the province of Pangasinan, where it previously included the former barrios (now towns) of Mayantoc, San Clemente, and Santa Ignacia.
