Why these tags

Beach

From the sources

“It is recognized for its baroque church, ancestral houses, the Pinagbayanan excavation—considered the most significant archeological site in the municipality, and the popular Laiya Beach.”

“A major tourist draw is the white-sand beaches of Laiya, to the south of town; today, tourism is a major local source of revenue, after aquaculture and agriculture.”

Heritage

From the sources

“San Juan Nepomuceno Parish Church – The church was built during the Spanish colonial period.”

Sentences are from this town's Wikipedia and Wikivoyage articles, found by code because they mention the vibe; they are not necessarily the ones the model relied on.
