Teresa
Half a day is enough: see the church, eat at Jhayko's, then head to Tanay or Morong. Not a base.
Teresa is a quiet valley town on the slopes of the Sierra Madre, passed by motorists on the way to Morong, Baras, Tanay and Pililla. Its main draw is the Saint Rose of Lima Parish Church and a relaxed lunch stop. Most travellers use it as a brief pause, not a destination.
