After a couple of days experiencing a rainy, cloudy and windy weather, at last the weather today is much fairer. The rain stopped the wind now is lighter and we can see the sun shining. Somehow the typhoon is presently out of the country, but the effect it had caused is still well remembered. Especially in various areas of Luzon like the region 3, region 4 and the NCR where they had experienced the strongest effect and damage from that typhoon; the Typhoon Basyang.
One of the most awaited dates here in the province of Pangasinan is the celebration of Pistay Dayat. Every 1st day of May, along side with the celebration of Labor Day in the Philippines, this local festival happens. This is the time of the year when people go to different beaches and resorts in the Philippines to spend some quality time with their family and friends. I for one enjoyed this local feast and I made it happen by spending quality time with my beloved wife enjoying the sceneries just near by.
We went to the newly built Sison Auditorium. They say that it is one of the finest auditoriums in the Philippines today. To see is to believe and so we have decided to see it for our self. It was true! The design is truly of top caliber. It is hard to believe that such place do exist in this very province.
The trip was even made more enjoying for we’ve got the chance to have some picture taking with the candidates of Limgas Na Dayat 2010.This event on the other hand is the highlight of the festivity for it featured the clash of beauties and brains of Pangasinan Province.
Coming from the auditorium, we made our way to the Capitol Grounds and once again, were astonished to the great and inviting looks it possesses. The outside complex is so great that you would want to stay there for a long period of time. But that’s not all of it. Once you enter, you will again be astonished because of the interior design of the capitol building and once you get in its roof top, you will see how fine the Lingayen Beach is. All of these things are just a superficial taste of the greatness of the festivity that happens once a year in this province. Now, we can see why tourists come in here every time this celebration comes. They enjoy the great view of our place and on top of that, we make them feel like they are always welcome to come.
This event happens only once a year and so we need to enjoy it when it comes. We must exploit this opportunity to make the most out of it. Every one of us has their own way of celebrating this event. What matters in the end is that we enjoy and we are happy with the celebration of this festivity.
These are the evidences of the great devastation brought about by Typhoon Pepeng after making its way in Dagupan City. It is not that we are caught off guard, its just that we were not expecting this much damage brought about by what now others say as the worst typhoon ever.
Sept. 26, 2009, 12 to 1 pm – the day and time when typhoon “ondoy” with an international name “ketsana†brought heavy rain fall causing thousands of residents mainly in Metro Manila, Southern Luzon and Central Luzon out of their homes and leave a death toll of 140 .
Hundreds have called for help but access to affected areas has been difficult if not impossible.
Some of the many Tragedies caused by “Ondoyâ€:
MANILA, Philippines – It’s a thrill seeker’s dream getaway. Danao used to be one of the lesser-known and least-visited areas in Bohol. Now, with its eco-adventure tourism park, Danao should be on its way to becoming one of the best-selling attractions of the island-province and, perhaps, in the whole of Central Visayas.
Branded as E.A.T. Danao (Eco-Extreme-Educational Adventure Tour Danao), the Danao Adventure Park – located 72 kilometers away from the provincial capital of Tagbilaran – features a wide selection of activities for guests either looking for a smooth initiation into adventure tourism or a wild adrenalin rush.
Hello Good day! It’s my pleasure to share to you something about the “houses†in the Philippines. Here, to make a real house, you need to show your architect, and you should have a unique vision for your Philippine house.
Contemporary dream houses are an abundance of exotic building material houses, surprisingly with so many colors in the architecture of those local houses.
We still have typical Spanish house style like this in Intramuros Manila and in Vigan Ilocos Sur that’s been shown here in my picture today.
In the Provinces, there are still bamboo houses, but then, some are modern built. In Manila, most of the houses are condominiums.
“The Philippines has long been known for its creative designsâ€; in houses, in furniture, and for their skill.
