Last January, North Philippines Visitors Bureau (NPVB) conducted the Lakbay Norte 3 Tour. It aims to familiarize the media (traditional and online) as it aims to “Rediscover the North”. Let’s be honest here: Most Filipino tourists would rather take a plane trip to Southern Destinations than endure the long bus rides to explore the Northern part of the Philippines. The…
Years ago, travelers within Luzon would rather go on a roadtrip to nearby provinces where they can get access to the beach and beautiful sceneries. First of all, it is cheaper and more practical. I also think that the tourism industry in Northern Luzon was more in demand compared to now. With the constant promo fares and discounted deals, people…
Former President Fidel V. Ramos is undeniably the most prominent political figure from Pangasinan. Born and raised in Lingayen, Pangasinan, FVR is the 12th President of the Philippines (1992 – 1998) and according to Wikipedia, “Ramos was widely credited and admired by many for revitalizing and renewing international confidence in the Philippine economy.”. I met him in person when I…
Last month, I received a message from a Slovak travel blogger named Alex of crazysexyfuntraveler.com. She mentioned that she is currently exploring Southeast Asia and she’s planning to stay in the Philippines for three weeks. We’ve been commenting on each other’s blogs for quite sometime and for some reason, i didn’t have any hesitations when she asked if she can…
“We will eat dinner at Plato Wraps? Are you sure? Dinner?” Kuya Don asked me before we left Lingayen. “Yes, in Plato Wraps. They have a restaurant version and i’m sure you’ll love it there!” I replied with confidence. Naks Plato Wraps Dine-In, or Plato Wraps Restaurant is located at De Venecia Highway in Calasiao, which is just a few…
My overnight trip to Dagupan City last September 15-16, 2011 is a trip of many first. It is a quick one yet memorable due to the following reasons: My first time to visit Dagupan with longtime blogger friends Hannah, Fitz and Don. Hannah drives from Manila to Dagupan while my grandfather is at the backseat. Simon and Josh meets the…
When you mention ‘Dagupan City’, it is already expected that the famous Bonuan Bangus (Milkfish) comes to mind. Not to mention the unique dishes such as Pigar-Pigar and Kaleskes, which originated in my beloved hometown. Although I am not really a lakwatsera when I was in high school and college, my friends and i would go every semester break and…
Pangasinan is a big province with lots of tourist destinations to offer. It is no question though that Bolinao is the ‘richest’ when it comes to natural treasures. Bolinao almost have everything you can possibly think of – Beach, Falls, Cave, River, Lighthouse among others. A place with such high potential when it comes to tourism deserves to have a…
The Lingayen Gulf is one of the historical places in Pangasinan. An extension of the South China Sea, it is an important spot during the World War II when the American and Japanese forces were fighting over power. The Pista’y Dayat celebration (or Sea Festival) takes place every month of May. I used to attend the festival as a kid…
The Bangus Festival 2011 fever is on! Surely, tourists and balikbayans are now planning their trip to Dagupan City as they witness this important yearly celebration in Pangasinan. As a certified Dagupena (Born and raised in Dagupan – still comes home from time to time!), I am proud to say that Dagupan City has a lot to offer in terms…
Last year, I embarked on a weekend trip to Pangasinan with 9 travel bloggers. I am originally from Pangasinan, but I already revealed in some of my previous entries that I’ve never really spent so much time in Alaminos. My most vivid recollection of the place is when I attended a relative’s birthday in the city proper. We did took…
Hello everyone! I would like to take this opportunity to say sorry to the readers of this blog (I still have a number of visitors according to my blog stats LOL). I feel guilty because I’ve been to a lot of places in the past months, but I failed to blog about my adventures here at Senyorita. I ended up…
