Pili Nuts
Ah, pili nuts. If you’re a Filipino and you’ve never tried pili nuts, then you must have been living under a rock! It’s available in most souvenir shops all over the country, most pervasively in airport stalls but the true origin of this amazing nut is the Bicol region. In fact, the pili tree is indigenous to the province.

Dubbed as the world’s smallest edible fish, Sinarapan can be found in certain bodies of water in Camarines Sur. These tiny 12mm-long fish are usually sold in the markets as dried sheets or cakes.They can also be sautéed with some garlic, onions and tomatoes for a hefty meal paired with hot rice. If you’re looking to take some home then you can also opt to buy uncooked blocks of frozen Sinarapan. Available throughout the region of Bicol, don’t be fooled by the fish’s size because it packs a punch full of flavor!

Pinangat
There are two popular versions of Pinangat: the sour version which uses kamias, tamarind or vinegar with fish as the main ingredient, and the Bicol version which uses taro leaves, chili, meat, and coconut milk. The Bicol version of Pinangat is the more famous version of the dish. The ingredients are wrapped in gabi leaves before being simmered in coconut milk. The dish is similar to laing except that it uses meat such as pork, crabmeat, or shrimp – depending on preference. Check out the First Colonial Grill in Daraga Town for some authentic Bicolano Pinangat!

Camarines Sur National High School
The Philippine Commission under the American occupation enacted Act No. 74 creating the Department of Public Instruction in January 21, 1901[3] and later that year, American educators known as Thomasites arrived in Ambos Camarines (the province’s name before it was split into two, Camarines Sur and Camarines Norte) to teach the Bicolanos.[4] In July 15, 1902, the school was launched as the Provincial High School of Nueva Caceres (former name of Naga City when it was still a town). Headed by its first principal Mr. Frank Crone and assisted by Ms. Minerva Udell, the institution started with 70 students and 4 American mentors. The attendance increased steadily and by the end of the first term there were 200 students. Then it was transferred somewhere in Mabini Street (now San Francisco) until it was transferred in 1915 to Via Gainza (now Peñafrancia Avenue), its present location. It was by then known as Camarines High School.[5]

Peñafrancia Basilica
Minor  Basilica of Our Lady of Peñafrancia  Basílica Menor de Nuestra Señora  de Peñafrancia
The Peñafrancia Basilica Minore houses an image of the virgin Mary that was sculpted in 1710. It was commissioned by Miguel de Cobarrubias, who moved to the Philippines from Spain with his family and believed that the virgin Mary had helped him numerous times in his life. The image was housed in a small chapel until the Basilica Minore was constructed.
On May 22, 1982, it was dedicated as The Church of Nuestra Señora de Peña de Francia and it wasn't until May 22, 1985 that the church was given the title of "Basilica Minore" from Rome after a request from the third Archbishop of Caceres, Leonardo Z. Legaspi, O.P., D.D.

                                                                                                                          HISTORY  OF  NAGA  CITY
In 1575, Captain Pedro de Chávez, the commander of the garrison left behind by Salcedo, founded on the site of the present business centre (across the river from the original Naga) a Spanish city which he named La Ciudad de Cáceres, in honor of Francisco de Sande, the governor-general and a native of the city of Cáceres in Spain. It was still by this name that it was identified in the papal bull of August 14, 1595 that erected the See of Cáceres, together with those of Cebú and Nueva Segovia, and made it the seat of the new bishopric under the Archdiocese of Manila.
Before the coming of Spanish conquerors, Naga was already a flourishing village along the banks of the Naga River. It was an important village with comparatively sophisticated weaponry and surprisingly advanced culture.
