Why these tags

Heritage

From the sources

“There are many tourist-oriented businesses; you may find a heritage house with a cafe or a bed and breakfast in it.”

Festivals

From the sources

“The EL PASUBAT Festival, celebrated annually during the month of April, is the conglomeration of the trademarks of Taal.”

Food

From the sources

“"EL PASUBAT" stands for Empanada, Longganisa, Panutsa, Suman, Balisong, barong tagalog, Tapa, Tamales, Tawilis, Tulingan — the delicacies and crafts that Taal is known for.”

“Other products produced in the town are balisong (butterfly knife) and various food treats such as the panocha (peanut brittle candy) and suman salehiya (a sweet suman), tapa (cured pork) and the local longganisa, all of which are available at the public market.”

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.
