Unlike before, very convenient na rin para sa amin na taga barrio, kasi 24 hours ang tricycle, tapos concrete na rin ang ibang barangay roads. Tapos ilang ATM's na rin ang meron sa bayan, like PSBank, PNB, Metrobank, BPI.

hi,totoong malaki na ang senso ng camiling,dati kasi part ng bayambang yan ang sabi nila,tapos mas nauna pang naging progresibo ang camling bago ang bayambang,pero sa ngaun both are asensonado na,ung nga lang wala pang mga private bank sa bayambang pero may 7 local banks,taga brgy.wawa ako kaibigan......:):):)

Salamat Korean Boy....Bayambang ang susunod na bayan if deretsohin mo yung Romulo Hi-way going North galing ng Manila. Pag Western naman, papunta naman ng Mangatarem, Hundred Islands, Lingayen or Dagupan City. I consider Pangasinan as my second province kasi nag-aral ako Sa Dagupan City for 4 years kaya medyo natuto ako ng Panggalatok. he he.:)

Red Camia ata yung malaking Super Market dun, tapos may Allied Bank, Banco San Juan, Land Bank din.May mga appliance and grocery stores din na kahit papaano nakakatulong mag employ sa mga kababayan natin na walang trabaho. I hope more investments will come in sa Camiling by 2010 pag natapos yung bagong Public Market.

Ang Tarlac College of Agriculture, soon to be a University, ang pinkamalaking school sa Camiling.

Im from Camiling. Pero dito na ako sa Manila based. Bihira lang ako umuwi pero I used to read articles here in the Internet about Tarlac City. Sayang naman ang Metrotown. Dahil sa Mall na yan, buhay na buhay yung lugar na yun sa may Mc Arthur Hi-way. Saka dami rin pumupunta doon dahil along the hi-way din.

Kita mo nga naman taga Camiling ka pa pala. Paborito ko kasi magpunta ng Camiling noon. Bumibili ako ng lechon. Meron pa ba non ngayon?

Di na kc ako nakabalik sa Camiling. Siguro halos 5 years na. Nakakamiss kasi yung pagpunta doon. Sa Sta. Ignacia din at sa Mayantoc.

Alam mo kc what is so good about a community that is so laidback ay para kang nag nonostalgia trip. Para kang natatransport in another time. Though development is a good thing, sana ma maintain din yung aesthetic features ng isang lugar. Just like vigan or legazpi city sa Albay. I'll set a date for myself para bumalik sa Camiling. Namimiss ko na kasi... one of my favorite town sa Tarlac Province...and sa buong Pilipinas for that matter.

Kita mo nga naman taga Camiling ka pa pala. Paborito ko kasi magpunta ng Camiling noon. Bumibili ako ng lechon. Meron pa ba non ngayon?

Oo meron pa rin mga nagtitinda doon, baka ang tinutukoy mo yung chicharon (sa Manila ang tawag lechon kawali) sa Ilocos naman, Bagnet.:) Masarap ang chicharon sa amin, malasa at malinamnam, may kamahalan nga lang. Eto ang binibili ng lolo ko na ulam namin dati pag nananalo sya ng sabong. he he. Yung officemate ko nga dati sa Manila di ko alam taga Camiling pala yung tatay nya, kaya nung 1 time na umuwi ako nagpabili sya sa akin ng chicharon. Nagustohan din nila yung dala ko na rice cake dati na binili ko naman nung ngdropby ako sa palengke ng Tarlac City, meron dati kasi bilihan dun sa harap ng palangke sa may Tanedo.

Yung dalawa ko namang Officemate pag umuuwi ako ng ng Lapaz lagi nagpapabili ng burong isda na pinapabili ko naman sa Tarlac City din, sarap na sarap sila sa burong isda ng Tarlac , naiinis na nga ako minsan dahil nangangamuy sa bus pag hindi maganda ang pagkabalot

Salamat cq7cc2.

Wala talaga nag popost dito he he. Hello Igimaster, Cq7cc2 and Dustin. Tuwing kailan ginaganap ang Belinismo sa Tarlac City? Dinadayo ba ng mga tourists ang City natin during that festival?

Wala talaga nag popost dito he he. Hello Igimaster, Cq7cc2 and Dustin. Tuwing kailan ginaganap ang Belinismo sa Tarlac City? Dinadayo ba ng mga tourists ang City natin during that festival?

OO NGA WALA NGA MGA FORUMER. 3 LANG YATA TAYO. tuwing last week ng November until january the following year sa feast ng 3kings. Di ko masyado napapansin mga tourist mga local lang karamihan. Busy kc ako sa work eh every weekends lang ako nakakauwi sa Tarlac. Pero marami ako napapansin na nagpapa picture sa mga Belen lalo na yung sa harapan ng Diwa ng Tarlac. Dapat makita mo yun pag gabi as in fantastic ang pagkakagawa. May mga notable few din na Belen gaya ng sa NAys House at yung sa Tarlac Cathedral ang ganda. Ang alam ko kc province wide ang Belenismo kc alam ko last year ang nanalo ay yung sa Capas. Maganda rin sa gabi yung stretch ng F. Tanedo, illuminated sya pati plaza. Yung memorial sa Cathedral na "tomb for the unborn child" na reconstruct na rin... na makeover at ngayon balik ulit sa dating glory nya. Sana lang ma maintain na this time. Sabi ng friend ko mas maganda raw mga Belen sa may northern towns ng Tarlac.

Thanks for the info and comments Dustin. Dito ka na rin ba nagwowork sa Manila? Sa 24 ako uuwi Tarlac, try ko mamasyal sa City para makita ko mga nakadisplay na Belen, then saka ako deretso sa Camiling. Gusto ko rin magpost ng picture dito kaya lang di ako marunong. Magpapaturo pa ako. he he.Babalik ako sa Manila ng 27, then balik ako ulit Tarlac ng 30. Yan ang advantage natin taga Central Luzon, lapit ng province natin sa Manila. Mga officemates ko kasi sa Visayas pa, kaya mag aairplane pa sila. Tapos may SCTEX pa tayo, kaya parang lalong lumapit ang Manila. With SCTEX, I just hope na di lang sa Clark at Subic ang pupuntahan ng mga foreign investors kundi pati na rin sa Luisita Industrial Park para lalo pang umunlad ang Tarlac City and province.

^^astig, malapit na pala yan na matapos....kailan ba tol ang target opening date ng SM Tarlac?

Wow! Ganda ng kuha. nagulat ako sa pic na eto. Malapit na pala matapos. Di kasi ako nakauwi, minsanan na lang sa New Year. Nakakapanibago tingnan ang junction ng Romulo hi-way at Mc Arthur Hi-way sa Tarlac City, ang ganda.

Tentative opening date daw ng SM Tarlac City is Feb. 2010.

ilang floors ba ang sm tarlac? i guess 3 floors with basement kung ganun. mukha akong naliliitan sa picture ng building ng retail space area, paano kaya napagkasya ang sinasabing 103,000 sqm..sorry guys i'm just thinking out loud.... anyhow i'm from san roque kaya super excited sa opening ng sm tarlac, di na kailangan mag drive papuntang sm clark at lakad lang dun na kami.. thanks for the new pics.. happy holidays!

HIndi pa kasi sya tapos. Kagaya ng Sm Pampanga later na lang ginawa ang annex. Yung malawak na lote sa likod ay SM property pa rin yun. Kc nga yung main mall pa lang ang tinatapos para mahabol sa opening nya this April yata (or by feb 2010)

binabaha ba ang Tarlac City? may ilog pala kayo...

grabe, i can't wait to see and visit our own SM..... i'm so excited na talaga....

binabaha ba ang Tarlac City? may ilog pala kayo...

Hindi binabaha ang Tarlac City as a whole. Pero may mga low lying area na mabagal ang pag subside ng tubig kapag for instance biglang may heavy downpour. Pero yung talagang baha hindi. Inayos na kasi yung sewerage system lalo na sa highway and SM also is to construct flood-control infrastracture in line with their presence here., as part of their social commitment. Plus the fact that we have the Tarlac River. Di ba nga Tarlac is in Central Luzon which is the rice granary of the Philippines. The river acts as a catch-basin so that the rice fields wont be flooded.

grabe, i can't wait to see and visit our own SM..... i'm so excited na talaga....

Ako din i am so excited lalo na for our city. Imagined may Robinsons at SM na tayo. Sinong mag aakala na uunlad ng ganito ang Tarlac City. Ten years ago napag iwanan tayo...ngayon we are one of the front runners economically.

Sana palakihin pa nila yung robinsons luisita,, parang mas maliit siya ngayon kesa nung luisita mall palang, tapos supermarket lang siya ngayon,, sayang din yung mga sinehan noon mas maganda at malaki pa sa mga sinehan ng magic and metro

ito lang yung 103,000 sqm ng SM City Tarlac ay kasama na dun yung Carpark Bldg. Tignan nyo ang MOA, NE, MEGA at yung mga SM na may covered carpark kasama sa Gross Sqm yung Carpark Bldg.

Nakita ko na personally kahapon ang SM Tarlac sa labas, mukhang malaki ang floor area ng Carpark building.Tapos sa main, yung gitna lang ang 4 floors, yung sa harap 3 floors,tapos yung pinakalikod, 2 floors lang. Kung tatayuan pa ng annex sa likod eto, malaki.Gaganda pa yan pag natapos ang finishing sa labas.

Sana palakihin pa nila yung robinsons luisita,, parang mas maliit siya ngayon kesa nung luisita mall palang, tapos supermarket lang siya ngayon,, sayang din yung mga sinehan noon mas maganda at malaki pa sa mga sinehan ng magic and metro

Agree ako, mas maliit ngayon kesa noong Luisita Mall pa sya, mukhang wala ng ilalagay na Cinema doon.Baka gagawing call center yung sa taas. Pero marami pa rin namang dumadaan doon, ang mga bagong establishments doon, Mang Inasal at Chowking.

Sa SM City Tarlac, ilang cinema kaya ang ilalagay?

Ang ganda ng inilagay na streelights sa kahabaan ng Ninoy Aquino Ave. kaya lang sana hanggang sa may crossing na ng San Isidro at Tibag bago magtulay. Maliwanag na doon sa harapan ng Sutherland Global Services at USST. Siguro dapat magkaroon ng mini commercial strip doon to cater the needs of employees and students in the area.

YUNG RED RIBBON NASA TAPAT NG SILAYAN CENTRE THEN STRETCH KA PA NG KONTI MALAPIT SA JECSON NANDUN NAMAN ANG YELLOW CAB PIZZA. YUNG 7-ELEVEN SA HI-WAY NAGKAROON YATA NG LEGAL DISPUTE REGARDING DUN SA LAND NA NILEASE NILA KAYA NAGSARA. PERO LUMIPAT ANG 7-ELEVEN SA TAPAT NG MAIN CAMPUS NG TARLAC STATE UNIVERSITY SA MAY ROMULO BLVD. NAPANSIN KO NGA RIN YUNG GANDA NG MAX'S AT MAY CHINESE RESTO PA YATA. oo noh... ang laki ng improvement ng Tarlac. Noong high school ako cervantes lang ang sikat at yung jollibee sa F. Tanedo nagsara pa. PERO IN CASE LANG YOU DONT KNOW PA... MAY CHOWKING NA SA NEW PUBLIC MARKET SA F. TANEDO AT YUNG DATING BUILDING NG BANK OF THE PHIL. ISLANDS AY JOLLIBEE NA NGAYON AT MAG OOPEN SA DEC. 04, 09. AT LEAST NGAYON BUHAY NA ULIT ANG F.TANEDO. DATI KC PARANG PUPUNTA KA LANG DOON PAG MAMAMALENGKE KA.

Hi Dustin, nakita ko na yung bagong bukas na Jollibee sa Tanedo, maganda. Lalo tuloy sumigla yung area na yun lalo pat magkatapat sila ng Chowking. Marami nga lang saradong establishments noong Jan. 1, 2009, sarado yung KFC sa may Cathedral.

Agree ako, mas maliit ngayon kesa noong Luisita Mall pa sya, mukhang wala ng ilalagay na Cinema doon.Baka gagawing call center yung sa taas. Pero marami pa rin namang dumadaan doon, ang mga bagong establishments doon, Mang Inasal at Chowking.

Sa SM City Tarlac, ilang cinema kaya ang ilalagay?

About yung Robinson, yung idea kasi is the whole central park establishments na existing na dati formed part ng Robinson's Luisita ngayon. Bale yung dating Luisita Mall complex ay ginawang Robinsons Supermarket and yung sa taas ay BPO center. Yung mga jollibee, max's, pancake house, dencios, mga bangko, etc... they all formed part ng Robinsons hindi nga lang sila sheltered under one roof as in a usual mall setting. Parang Al fresco... kasama yung STarbucks (we were the 1st to have it na hindi enclosed sa mall in the region) at yung pizza hut. Pero the grand plan para sa Robinson ay included pati yung back portion ng lot na may dating themepark.

Yung sa Sm naman, yung present structure nya ngayon ay bale 1st phase pa lang. I should know kasi my tito works in CEO at sila ang nagbibigay ng construction permit. Sabi nga nya yung blueprint daw ng Sm Tarlac ay kasingkapal ng 3 volume ng encyclopedia. Its either feb daw but april is definitely grand opening na.

O finally nakauwi ka rin pala. Medyo yung cindys humina yata eh 2 giant ba naman ang nakatapat. Dati solo nya sa Tanedo. Ngayon nga ang promo nila ay unlimited rice. Pero yung left right side yata ng chowking ay cindys ang gagawin. Sabi kasi dati mcdonalds.

Noong new year nasa Marquee mall kami ng family ko sa Pampanga. Para syang Glorietta.

Kaya good news talaga ang pagkakaroon natin ng SM sa Tarlac.

How old are you na pala if you don't mind? Ako sa Clark ang aking work. Kaya I get to come home more often. Malapit lang ang pag nag sctex pa ang bus 30 minutes lang nasa Tarlac na ako...kasaya talaga ng Sctex heaven sent sa mga kagaya natin. At pag nag materialized pa ang railway system na plano...para na tayong nasa France. Sana matuloy noh kahit mag shift pa ng Leadership...sana..

Ang ganda ng inilagay na lightings sa kahabaan ng Ninoy Aquino Ave. kaya lang sana hanggang sa may crossing na ng San Isidro at Tibag bago magtulay. Maliwanag na doon sa harapan ng Sutherland Global Services at USST. Siguro dapat magkaroon ng mini commercial strip doon to cater the needs of employees and students in the area.

Di ko pa nakikita yung bagong IT CENter sa may San Isidro pero mukhang progressive na rin yata sa part na yan. Ang gusto kong mabago ay yung mismong Ninoy Aquino Bridge...kc npakaplain ng design considering na major link sya sa western towns and the city proper. Sana palitan nila ng medyo modern ang structure.

sana gawin nalang nilang Nielsen-Lohse bridge yung kagaya sa Bamban bridge

May this year ang opening ng SM Tarlac

May this year ang opening ng SM Tarlac

I really dont know pero nung last time na nagmeeting si Mayor Aro sa mga may food establishments sa Plaza sya mismo nagsabi na April.

Pero kung sa May ok pa rin...kasunod lang naman sya ng April.

sana gawin nalang nilang Nielsen-Lohse bridge yung kagaya sa Bamban bridge

Yan din ang bridge na naisip ko. Kaya lang may budget kaya... As I recall kc ginawa yung bridge na yun during the APEC Summit Meeting na ginanap sa Subic.

Kasi ang alam ko mahal ang ganung design ng bridge. Pero kaganda sana no kung kagaya nun ang tulay sa may Ninoy Aquino Boulevard.

Sabagay may BOT naman...sana lang may makaisip and sana may political will.

Iilan lang tayong active sa thread na to. Yung ibang thread umuusok sa dami ng post. Buti nga nag popost na rin si lap_sn08. Sina igimaster at ccq27 madalang na lang. Si Tarlaqueno-ako active so far. Buti na lang pala may internet sa bahay kung hindi di rin ako nakakapag post dito.

Puno naman ang mga internet shop sa Tarlac... Napansin ko lang wala kayang nag oonline sa mga ibang towns ng Tarlac...di ba Tarlac city and Province ang thread na to. Di natin nalalaman ang mga updates sa mga kapatid natin sa ibang bayan.

Sana mag post din yung mga kababayan natin sa Pura, Paniqui, Anao, San Clemente, Moncada, Capas, Concepcion, Bamban, Camiling, San Jose, Gerona, San Manuel, Ramos, Sta. Ignacia, Lapaz, Victoria, Mayantoc.

Mga kabalen...ano pa hinihintay nyo?

Yap tama ka. Kakainggit yung ibang thread, dami nila nag popost like sa Cavite, Pangasinan etc. Si ccq27 gusto ko magpost kasi may pics sya palagi pag nagpost. he he.

Announce ko lang pala, may bagong tayong branch ang BDO, one of the largest banks in the country sa hometown namin sa Camiling. Katapat sya ng Camiling Supermarket Inc.This brings a total of 12 banks in Camiling. May atm din sya, kaya so far, 5 na ang atm sa amin. While BPI naman ay lumipat ng office sa Quezon Avenue cor Rizal St. halos magkakalapit na sila ng Metrobank, BDO at PNB. The new Public Market is still under construction and also the new Church. Visit www.camiling.net to view pictures and know more about Camiling.

View mo yan Dustin, may mga pictures dyan ang Camiling. According to Wikipedia, naka 75M daw ang income ng Camiling nitong 2008. I hope na mag progress pa ang Camiling para isa sa mga magiging future cities ng Tarlac. To be qualified as a city, kelangan at least maka 100 million sa income for two consecutive years and at least 150,000 population at sa area naman ay at least 100 sqkm. Sa population, malapit na makaabot ang Concepcion at Capas dahil mahigit 100,000 na sila I think.Sa Camiling, in terms of population, nasa 75,000 lang. Paniqui, Capas, Concepcion and Camiling are the first class municipalities of Tarlac.

Di ba as stated sa wikipedia, february 12 ang opening ng SM, pero soft opening pa lang ito. Maybe April or May nga ung Grand Opening. Kaso sa nakikita ko ngayon, medyo mabagal ang construction. Araw-araw kc akong dumadaan doon eh kasi pumapasok ako Sampu.

State-of-the-art legislative building to rise in Tarlac (http://www.pna.gov.ph/index.php?idn=2&sid=&nid=2&rid=251239)

TARLAC CITY, Tarlac, Jan. 7 (PNA) -- A state-of-the-art legislative building would soon rise in this city.

Mayor Genaro “Aro” Mendoza said the building will be based on a plan designed by the council through the city’s Engineering and Architect offices with the help of a private architect.

“A few months from now, a modern and state-of-the-art legislative building of the city government would soon be an additional attraction and will add beauty to the image of this city,” Mendoza said.

He said the legislative building will have four floors with a bridge directly connected to the executive office.

The building will have a 300-square-meter session hall built in with cameras and flat screen monitors, so that the council’s session will be easily viewed by the public, he said.

Mendoza said the new legislative building will have separate rooms for sessions, public hearings and other events.

But just like the old building, he said, all councilors will each have offices aside from the Vice Mayor’s office and the office of the Secretariat.

As proposed by Councilor Andrew Mendoza, an Electronic Library (E-lib) will also be placed inside the new building, which could be used by the students for their research.

Mendoza said the new facility will not only serve the above purposes but will also be income-generating on the part of the city government as the first floor will be built with stalls for entrepreneurs who want to display and sell their goods.

Mendoza added aside from the basic services to be given at the facility, the building will serve as a symbol of the autonomy between the legislative and the executive based on the real meaning of democracy.

“With that principle, all projects and programs designed by the executive will be properly approved by the council under the spirit of unity and respect according to the provision of the law,” he said.

With the construction of the new building, Mendoza expressed belief that government services will be more efficient and effective.

The facility will not also project good image but will also symbolize progress, order and peace, he added. (PNA)

Thousands of Tarlaquenos undergo livelihood training program (http://www.pna.gov.ph/index.php?idn=2&sid=&nid=2&rid=251564)

CAPITOL HILL, Tarlac City, Jan. 8 (PNA) - Thousands of local residents here underwent a livelihood training program that provides opportunities to gain more knowledge, skills and ability as a way to excel in a globally competitive work environment.

A total of 1,046 individuals from the different barangays in the western part of this city have graduated from different courses and received their certificates of completion Thursday.

This brings the total to 2,821 individuals who benefited from the program in this city alone.

The livelihood training program was spearheaded by Tarlac Rep. Jose “Aping” Yap, Gov. Vic Yap and the Technical Educational Skills Development Authority (TESDA).

Rep. Yap said the program is aimed to help those who would want to undergo skills training in order to venture into their own businesses or to anyone who is interested in learning the technical skills.

The elder Yap said that these trainings are one way of providing more Tarlaquenos the opportunity to earn decent income for them to counter the economic crunch that was felt since mid-2009.

Gov. Yap, for his part, pointed out that Tarlaquenos now are the emerging leaders in conducting quality livelihood and training programs in the country.

“We have the human resources that are skilled enough to lead in the field of information technology…you have added to that now,” the younger Yap said.

He added that all graduates from these training programs can be globally competitive.

The courses offered included motorcycle mechanic, cellphone repair, manicure and pedicure, dressmaking, haircut and barbering, practical electricity, food processing, massage therapy, shielded metal arc welding, basic computer and barista and food and beverage. (PNA)

Saan itatayo ang building? Katabi lang ba ng City Hall yan?

^^wala pang balita kung saan maybe our fellow Tarlaqueño forumers could give some infos....

Ang laki pala ng nabiling lupa ng Camella sa Tarlac City located sa Maliwalo. 62 hectares, pag na complete, 2,800 homes ang ibuibuild costing 5 billion pesos. Sana taga Tarlac ang kunin nilang mga contractors and workers.

Tama yung forecast ko, dadami na ang interested na magdevelop sa Tarlac City because of SM, nandyan na ang Fil Invest, ngayon Camella at ang datihang Hausland, ang bago nilang project ay yung Fiesta Communities sa Matatalaib.

Matagal ng ginagawa yung TARLAC CITY LEGISLATIVE BUILDING. Siguro mga early November ngstart. Maganda rin yung rendering sayang wala akong means para maipost yung pic nya. Pero try ko. Commercial stalls yung sa ibaba yata kasi parang arcade ang dating nya sa rendering. OO katabi sya mismo ng Tarlac City Hall Building harap ng Tarlac City Plaza.

Di ba as stated sa wikipedia, february 12 ang opening ng SM, pero soft opening pa lang ito. Maybe April or May nga ung Grand Opening. Kaso sa nakikita ko ngayon, medyo mabagal ang construction. Araw-araw kc akong dumadaan doon eh kasi pumapasok ako Sampu.

I mean well sa sasabihin ko ah. Alam mo bang rumors pa lang ang SM Tarlac nasa WIkipedia na sya. As in nakalagay "the mall is currently under construction"...pero ang totoo wala naman". Mga second hand cars lang na binibenta ang nakatambak sa site noon. At yung site hindi pa naki-clear. Sa Clark kasi ako nagwo work kaya panay din ang daan ko sa SM site.

Akala ko nga noon 'rumor' lang talaga ang SM Tarlac. Then one day tanda ko january 29, 2009... umuwi ako nabigla na lang ako nakabakod na ang site at may fencing na ng SM with SM LOGO pa.

Wikipedia kasi pwede maging source kahit sino. It is a freestanding site na pwedeng i-edit na kahit sino.

Nakalagay nga dati sa Wikipedia na ewan ko kung inalis na... ang ganito "TARLAC CITY WAS GOVERNED BY NINOY AQUINO ETC" We all know na mali yun...Sen. Ninoy was mayor of Concepcion, Tarlac then he later became Governor of Tarlac Province. Pero never syang naging Mayor ng Tarlac (na Tarlac City ngayon).

Welcome nga pala sa Forum. Sana lagi kang magpost para dumami tayo dito sa Tarlac Thread.

Ako naman twice a week bale ko sya nakikita. Every Friday pag uwi ko ng Tarlac then every Monday pag balik ko ng Clark. Ang ginagawa ko, nag papalipas ako ng 7 days bago ko tignan ang SM site. So every Monday ko lang sya tinitignan para may bago akong makita. Sa tingin ko naman ok lang naman ang phasing ng work. Para sa akin mabilis na nga sila. Tantya ko Exterior na lang ang ginagawa...kc may mga blue linings na dun sa Carpark at dun sa main entrance ng Mall. By the end of January siguro marami na silang natapos sa exterior facade ng Mall.

share ko lang,, Capas National Shrine http://i445.photobucket.com/albums/qq172/lap_sn08/DSC08308.jpg http://i445.photobucket.com/albums/qq172/lap_sn08/DSC08235.jpg

Hindi kasi reliable ang wikipedia. Pwede maging source kahit sino. It is a freestanding site na pwedeng i-edit na kahit sino.

Nakalagay nga dati sa Wikipedia na ewan ko kung inalis na... ang ganito "TARLAC CITY WAS GOVERNED BY NINOY AQUINO ETC" We all know na mali yun...Sen. Ninoy was mayor of Concepcion, Tarlac then he later became Governor of Tarlac Province. Pero never syang naging Mayor ng Tarlac (na Tarlac City ngayon).

Welcome nga pala sa Forum. Sana lagi kang magpost para dumami tayo dito sa Tarlac Thread.

Napansin ko lang sa write up ng Tarlac City sa Wikipedia, di masyadong detailed, unlike sa ibang City. Sana may mag-attempt na eedit, tapos maglagay ng mga pictures of Tanedo St. (The major business thoroughfare ng Tarlac), TSU, Tarlac Capitol, Metrotown Mall, Magic Star Mall, Luisita Center, Don Bosco and later the new SM City Tarlac.

Para makita naman nila how progressive Tarlac City now. Lalo na yung mga nasa abroad na matagal ng di nakauwi ng Pinas.At yung mga iba na curious kung ano ang meron sa Tarlac para mabisita nila ang ating lugar.he he.

Marami din yatang resort sa Tarlac pero wala pa ako napuntahan, saan ba ang Dolores Hot Spring, papano pumunta doon? Mas nauna pa ako nakapunta sa Pansol Calamba Laguna, sa may Splash Mountain. He he. Sana may mag post dito ng picture ng Dolores Hot Spring ng Tarlac City.

been to dolores hot springs many times before, many believe na miraculous at may healing powers ang tubig na galing sa balon, daming tao na pumupunta dun pag fiesta nila, eto direction.. from tarlac city take any bus that goes to camiling, baba sa baras baras which is before san juan de mata if i'm not mistaken, then take ng tricycle at sabihin na punta ng hot springs

Ako nakapunta na. Madalas kami sa Dolores noon lalo na nung elementary pa lang ako. Malapit lang kasi sa amin. Nasa Dolores sya lampas ng tibag. Pero ngayon di na ako nakakapunta. Di ko na nga alam kung existing pa sya today.

Pero alam mo pareho tayo. Ako naman di ko pa nakikita ng personal yang "Capas National Shrine" to think na nasa Capas lang sya. Minsan tityempo ako at papasyal. Sana din yung "Capas Death March Memorial" ideveloped kasi yung significance nun sa National History natin ay hindi matatawaran.

Ayun nakatiwangwang lang sya at kung minsan napapadaan ang bus sa may bamban may makikita ka pang mga nakasampay na mga damit. Para bang nawalan na tayo ng national pride sa mga pinaggagawa natin. Sayang as in sayang.

IIlan lang siguro ang talagang may malasakit at pagmamahal sa bayan.

Ang ganda ng kuha mo. Ang ganda ng view, along Mc Arthur mo ba eto kinuhanan o sa likod.he he

Nope. As far as I know hindi mo ito makikita along Mc. Arthur hi-way. Yung "Death March Memorial" pag dumaan sa Bamban ang bus sya yung makikita mo along the highway. But this is the "Capas National Shrine".

maganda ang kalalabasan ng legislative building na yan.. Medyo bilib din ako kay Mayor Aro, kahit na matatapos na term nya, may pahuling hirit pa rin siyang project. Well, di rin naman kaila sa atin na he's running for Congress. I will vote for him because of what he've done fore our city rather than Congressman Yap.

Ako naman twice a week bale ko sya nakikita. Every Friday pag uwi ko ng Tarlac then every Monday pag balik ko ng Clark. Ang ginagawa ko, nag papalipas ako ng 7 days bago ko tignan ang SM site. So every Monday ko lang sya tinitignan para may bago akong makita. Sa tingin ko naman ok lang naman ang phasing ng work. Para sa akin mabilis na nga sila. Tantya ko Exterior na lang ang ginagawa...kc may mga blue linings na dun sa Carpark at dun sa main entrance ng Mall. By the end of January siguro marami na silang natapos sa exterior facade ng Mall.

uhmmm,, thank you sa pagwelcome. Actually matagal ko ng alam ang thread na ito. kaso kinatatamaran kong mag Register. hehehe. well.... simula nung makita ko xa (SM) nung friday, nakita ko ang improvement. Malapit na nga siyang matapos.

share ko lang,, Capas National Shrine http://i445.photobucket.com/albums/qq172/lap_sn08/DSC08308.jpg http://i445.photobucket.com/albums/qq172/lap_sn08/DSC08235.jpg

Any details regarding SM Tarlac?

Well, di rin naman kaila sa atin na he's running for Congress. I will vote for him because of what he've done fore our city rather than Congressman Yap.

Ako rin impressed ako sa leadership ni mayor aro. Ang dami daming improvement sa Tarlac City. And one of the biggest achievement nya during his term as city mayor ay ang influx ng mga giant businesses like WILCON DEPOT, ROBINSONS, SM SUPERMALL.

At hindi sya nagpadala sa pressure sa mga ayaw maitayo ang SM dito sa Tarlac ah. Oh tingnan mo ngayon meron na tayong SM at malapit na siyang matapos.

Isa tayo sa mga iilang lugar na may SM Supermalls.

May gusto lang sana akong mangyari. Sana iimprove nila yung mga islands sa daan at yung rotonda. At yung rotonda na may statue ni Sen. Ninoy sa may Ninoy Aquino Blvd. sana i improve kasi napakaplain ng design. DApat yung eye-catching at well-manicured ang mga halaman.

As yung mga islands naman particularly along Romulo Blvd from TSU hanggang Capitol, sana pagandahin nila. Take a cue sa mga ginawang newly refurbished islands and rotonda sa Angeles City at San Fernando...napakagandang tingnan. Well maintained ang mga halaman at yung mga street-lights nag-iiba ng kulay sa gabi (from yellow, green, blue, red).

O kaya kung tataniman nila ng halaman yung mga matibay sa araw...kasi hindi naman nila dinidiligan pag katapos nilang taniman. As in walang nag memaintain. Inaasa lang yata nila sa ulan ang pagdilig.

hindi po siya sa mc arthur hi-way, sa may bukid po iyan kuha,, sa may aranguren, capas

OO nga... di ba ito yung Capas National Shrine at hindi mo sya makikita sa highway. Yung Death March Memorial sya yung along the highway, di ba?

lap_sn08...kung may means ka baka pwede mo ring i-post dito yung Death March Memorial yung malapit sa Bamban... thanks!

Hep hep hooray tayo dyan!

Welcome back cq7cc2! he he sabi ko na nga ba pag nag post sya may pics ng sm he he.
Dustin, parang ang saya na natin dumadami tayo.

May nagchange nga sa SM since noong umuwi ako noong New Year. Pinagaganda na ang exterior facade. Yung Metrobank at Natasha ba as is na yun sa harapan ng SM?

Thanks for the information. Try naming mamasyal in the future pag may time, maybe sa summer. In my little effort try ko ring i promote ang province natin sa mga kakilala ko and even sa mga kamag-anak. How about yung Wonderland Resort sa Bamban yung along the highway, buhay pa ba yun? Na try nyo na rin bang mamasyal sa Isdaan Restaurant sa Gerona Tarlac? Mukhang well know na rin eto.

Approve ako sa mga sinabi mo. Sana magdagdag sila ng budget para sa maintenance ng landscaping and beautification ng Tarlac City para naman maimpress ang mga local tourists na pumupunta dito. Lalo na ang Romulo Boulevard, sana pagandahin nila. Like sa Dasmarinas City Cavite, napansin ko ang beautification na ginagawa nila along the streets.

Yung brother nya yata ang tatakbo for Mayor sa City. Agree ako, saludo ako kay Mayor Aro Mendoza. Nag-improve talaga ang Tarlac City sa panahon ng kanyang panunungkulan.

Ang alam ko tinatapos na lang yata yung lease contract ng 2 establishments.

Uwi ako later mga afternoon sa Tarlac wala ako work bukas eh. OO parang dumadami na tayo. Taga Lapaz yata si cq7cc2 pero sa Manila na yata naka base.??

Try ko bumili ng digicam (nawala ko kasi sa bus yung dati) para makapagpost ako ng pics. Pero mag iipon muna ako para naman medyo high-end na yung mabili natin. Gusto ko kasi mapost dito yung picture ng SAn Jose Sports Complex at yung stretch ng F. TAnedo... At yung sunset sa may Ninoy Aquino Blvd.

By the way, Fiesta Season na! Yan ang maganda sa Tarlac...pagkatapos ng Yuletide season, fiesta ang kasunod.

Maraming activities. May street-dancing, Battle of the bands, variety shows, dance and song, and the Mutya ng Tarlac search. Marami rin celebrities ang darating.

At madami na ring tiange at mga stalls sa daan at palibot ng plaza. Ang dami daming nagtitinda para kang nasa quiapo.

And the annual parade sa January 19, sigurado sarado na naman ang F. TAnedo sa dami ng manonood. So invite namin kayo sa aming fiesta!

Yung wonderland resort nandun pa rin kaya lang iba na ang pangalan. Kung gusto mo maimpress ang mga bisita mo...dalhin mo sila sa ISDAAN FLOATING RESTAURANT sa may gerona. O kaya mag dine kayo ng family mo.

I assure you the best talaga. The place is very beautiful and the food is reasonably priced. World class talaga.

Kung suswertihin ka...baka makasabay mo pa ang mga prominent na tao like we did.

Di ko pa na experience ang Malatarlac Festival. Eto ba yung counterpart ng Sinulog Festival ng Cebu? Proud naman tayo. :)

Aware ako na January ang Fiesta ng Tarlac City. Sana one time ma witness ko rin ang activities dyan during that season. Sana mataon ng weekend at may budget pang-uwi. :)

Sige try mo magpost ng San Jose Sports Complex. Nabasa ko malaki yata yan. Tuloy ba ang pag hohost ng Tarlac sa Palarong Pambansa ngayong 2010? Any update?

Yap.masuerte ang Tarlac being chosen as this year's Palarong Pambansa host province. Congratulations! In this event, more than 10,000 daw ang pupunta sa lugar to participate and witness the event to be held by April 2010.

guyz, napadaan ako sa SM kanina.... and nakita ko na nagpapaannounce na cla for the tenants. nagmeeting lahat ng mga mangungupahang tenants ng SM and ang daming tao sa loob ng SM.. dami ding sasakyan na naka park sa parking area sa haprap at likod...

Nandito ako sa Imus Cavite ngayon, kagagaling ko lang sa Robinsons Place. Nandoon kanina si Rayver Cruz, ang tangkad saka tisoy pala he he. Siguro parang Robinsons Imus ang laki ng SM City Tarlac. Mas marami pumupunta sa SM Dasma.

Tapos na kaya ang loob ng SM Tarlac? Baka nagpa briefing ang admin ng SM Tarlac para sa mga tenants kaya nagmeeting.

May gusto lang sana akong mangyari. Sana iimprove nila yung mga islands sa daan at yung rotonda. At yung rotonda na may statue ni Sen. Ninoy sa may Ninoy Aquino Blvd. sana i improve kasi napakaplain ng design. DApat yung eye-catching at well-manicured ang mga halaman.

In fairness, malaki ang improvement ng Ninoy Aquino Bvd. kaya lang yung mga halaman sa island, namamatay.

Galing ako sa Dasma City (youngest city of Cavite)kanina,
ang haba ng ng streets na pinaganda nila, may streetlights, Palm trees, tapos steel fence na may design sa island, tapos painted fence din sa mgkabila ng streets. Sana ganun ang gawin sa Romulo Bvd. maski from TSU lang hanggang Ednor Colleges, he he.


Musta ang Tarlac City 2010 Fiesta? Kelan ang Malatarlac Festival? Any photos?

Di ako nakauwi kahapon (Tuesday, jan 19). Sa Friday palang ako makakauwi. Hindi ko nakita ang annual parade sa fiesta natin. Ngayon Fiesta day at culmination na ng mga activities nandito pa rin ako sa work.

Punta ka sa Tarlac city online...invite ka sa mga kabalen natin na magpost dito. Naka 3 invite ako kanina. Saan ka nga pala naka base ngayon? All i know is taga-camiling ka right?

Yes. Sa manila ako nakabase. Nag-oonline lang ako pag after office hours sa shop.he he.

Sayang di ka nakauwi, di sana may maisishare ka dito sa Thread. Nag-iinvite din ako don sa Tarlac City On-line.

Oo nga. May means na pala ako para magpost ng mga pics. Nakatsamba kasi ako ng nakasale na digicam sa SM North Edsa. Staggered basis 6 months sa credit card. Pwede na medyo magaan kasi pag installment. Di ko pa kasi kaya magcash ng ganon kamahal.

Sayang tapos na Malatarlac Festival. Di bale... kuha na lang ako ng pics ng latest development sa city at province natin. Kaya lang medyo tuwing weekend ko lang magagawa kasi may work nga. Pero I'll try para may makitang bago sa thread natin.

Regarding yung Capas National Shrine...di pa kasi ako nakakapunta ng personal sa monument pero my friend from capas told me na ganyan sya talaga kaganda.

Wow, ganda naman nyan, Capas National Shrine. Ganyan ba talaga hitsura nya sa personal?Well maintained ba ang park?

ganyang-ganyan pa po siya ngayon,, malinis and maaliwalas, kakagaling ko lang po kasi diyan last week, ehe

Sana maipromote natin yan as a tourist destination sa Tarlac province, aside from Mount Pinatubo na I think sa Capas din ang daan.

lap sn08, magpost ka pa ng ibang pics please, yung ibang version naman ng Tanedo st. at yung Ninoy Aquino Bvd. sa riverside at night mukhang maganda kunan yun, yung kita yung alignment ng streetlights. Saka yung skyline ng Magic Star taken habang nasa kabilang side ka ng river sa San Isidro side o kaya habang nasa tulay ka. he he.

Hi Dustin, nakita ko yung map ng Tarlac City sa Google, yun bang Macabulos drive sa San Vicente nakaconnect sa Luisita Park, naka label kasi as Romulo Bvd. tapos highlighted sya, ibig sabihin it's a major road? Kung nagkataon, ang laki ng built up ng Tarlac City especially pag nagdevelop yung area na yun at magkaroon ng maraming commercial establishments, residential subd. or schools kaya.

Hi Dustin, nakita ko yung map ng Tarlac City sa Google, yun bang Macabulos drive sa San Vicente nakaconnect sa Luisita Park, naka label kasi as Romulo Bvd. tapos highlighted sya, ibig sabihin it's a major road? Kung nagkataon, ang laki ng built up ng Tarlac City especially pag nagdevelop yung area na yun at magkaroon ng maraming commercial establishments, residential subd. or schools kaya.

San Vicente kasi is the biggest barangay in the whole of Tarlac Province (in terms of land area). It starts from TSU (located along Romulo Bldvd na paglabas mo ng Ninoy Aquino Blvd). The road that hosts some major government agencies (BIR, TNHS, DBP, LTO, NBI, SSS, POST OFFICE) is called Macabulos Dr. (nasa San Vicente ka na nun including Tarlac Capitol).

Nasa San Vicente ang 2 sa pinakamalaki at major medical institution sa Tarlac (Tarlac Provincial Hospital at CLDH). Nasa San Vicente ang Red Cross, Capitol, Museo de Tarlac, Court of Justice, Maria Clara Center, Diwa ng Tarlac, Soil Testing Center, Camp Macabulos, Catholic Cemetery, Registry of Deeds, GSIS at marami pang social at commercial institutions.

Yung loop road (San Sebastian-San Vicente Diversion Road) na pag galing ka ng San Vicente ay lalabas ka na ng Mac Arthur Hiway diretso ka na ng Luisita non. (Iwas traffic sa TSU-San Roque intersection). Pag dating mo ng Luisita either diretso ka o gamit ka ng SCTex.

Alam ko idi-develop pa yung diversion road pag operational na ang SM City Tarlac.

From TSU to San Vicente Elem Sch, Romulo blvd ang tawag sa stretch na yun. Then from the San Vicente crossing (intersection) Romulo Hi-way na. It leads to Western towns like Camiling, Sta. Ignacia and towns of Pangasinan.

Then again, Macabulos Dr din ang road na leading to Camp Macabulos. Diretso ka pa then Northern Hills at labas ka na ng San Rafael na malapit na sa Luisita (San Miguel). From there either diretso ka ng Mc. Arthur Hiway or gamit ka ng SCTex.

Yung San Vicente-San Sebastian Diversion road marami na ring commercial establishments. The biggest is the Talon City (as planned). May existing na housing projects, yung Tarlac Young Achievers School etc.

Yung Talon City is only adjacent to SM City Tarlac. So pag natapos sya...para kang nasa SM North Edsa-Trinoma Area.

Actually malaki yata talaga ang plan sa area na yun. Di nga ba na reclassify yung portion na yun from agricultural to industrial. So imminent talaga ang pagboom ng area.

I have photos of Tarlac Cathedral, Tarlac State University, Mc. Donalds Romulo Blvd, a portion of Ninoy Aquino Blvd (with the Ninoy Statue), some market scenes and tinapa (smoke fish).

I didnt take shots of The New Legislative Bldg medyo marami kasi nakablock on the rendering at sa site.

Konti lang muna pictures ah kasi medyo late na kasi last Sunday I have to go back asap sa Clark. Pero next time try ko kunin Robinsons Luisita, F. Tanedo and Mc. Arthur Hi-way. Also im planning to go as far as Camiling and Paniqui and elsewhere in the province (kung saan ako mapunta) to take some shots. I will also take shots of SM Tarlac.

wow, ganda. parang bagong re-paint ang Tarlac Capitol. Kelan mo i popost yung ibang pics mo? You mean nakatayo na ang bagong legislative building?

yung legislative bldg medyo mga 30% nang tapos, yung rendering nya kasi medyo malabo at maraming mga nagsabit na political ads kaya hindi ko kinunan.

Im posting the pictures right now....

http://www.waypoints.ph/vmap.php?wpt=trcx01

Dustin sa map na yan, may major road na going left, sa may Mc Arthur highway, tapat ng Luisita sa San Miguel, naka label na Romulo Bvd. Tapos naka connect sa Macabulos Drive tapos lalabas sa may Ednor Colleges. Mukhang mahaba. It seems a major highway. Planned pa lang kaya yan o existing na. What do you think.

i'll check on it. Pero I think existing na kasi parang nakita ko na yung map sa google

ask ko lang where are you right now?

medyo mabagal mag upload

San Vicente kasi is the biggest barangay in the whole of Tarlac Province (in terms of land area). It starts from TSU (located along Romulo Bldvd na paglabas mo ng Ninoy Aquino Blvd). The road that hosts some major government agencies (BIR, TNHS, DBP, LTO, NBI, SSS, POST OFFICE) is called Macabulos Dr. (nasa San Vicente ka na nun including Tarlac Capitol).

Nasa San Vicente ang 2 sa pinakamalaki at major medical institution sa Tarlac (Tarlac Provincial Hospital at CLDH). Nasa San Vicente ang Red Cross, Capitol, Museo de Tarlac, Court of Justice, Maria Clara Center, Diwa ng Tarlac, Soil Testing Center, Camp Macabulos, Catholic Cemetery, Registry of Deeds, GSIS at marami pang social at commercial institutions.

Yung loop road (San Sebastian-San Vicente Diversion Road) na pag galing ka ng San Vicente ay lalabas ka na ng Mac Arthur Hiway diretso ka na ng Luisita non. (Iwas traffic sa TSU-San Roque intersection). Pag dating mo ng Luisita either diretso ka o gamit ka ng SCTex.

Alam ko idi-develop pa yung diversion road pag operational na ang SM City Tarlac.

Thanks for the info.

he he on line ka pala. dito ako sa Taguig City... Nawala yung label na Romulo Bvd. dun sa road, kahapon nakita ko nakalagay Romulo Bvd. Sa may Luisita pag nasa Mc Arthur Hi-way ka, may road doon pa-left, yun yung tinutukoy ko. Baka katabi yun ng entrance ng Camp Servillano Aquino tapos tuloy tuloy na yun papuntang Camp Macabulos.

From TSU to San Vicente Elem Sch, Romulo blvd ang tawag sa stretch na yun. Then from the San Vicente crossing (intersection) Romulo Hi-way na. It leads to Western towns like Camiling, Sta. Ignacia and towns of Pangasinan.

Then again, Macabulos Dr din ang road na leading to Camp Macabulos. Diretso ka pa then Northern Hills at labas ka na ng San Rafael na malapit na sa Luisita (San Miguel). From there either diretso ka ng Mc. Arthur Hiway or gamit ka ng SCTex.

Yung San Vicente-San Sebastian Diversion road marami na ring commercial establishments. The biggest is the Talon City (as planned). May existing na housing projects, yung Tarlac Young Achievers School etc.

Yung Talon City is only adjacent to SM City Tarlac. So pag natapos sya...para kang nasa SM North Edsa-Trinoma Area.

Actually malaki yata talaga ang plan sa area na yun. Di nga ba na reclassify yung portion na yun from agricultural to industrial. So imminent talaga ang pagboom ng area.

Aabangan natin ang pag-boom ng area na yan.

ang layo mo pala. Ako nasa bahay dito sa clark. Pero taga san vicente talaga ako sa tarlac...dito lang ako sa clark nagwo-work

Pilgrims seek healing in La Paz, Tarlac

Source: Philstar
http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=541306&publicationSubCategoryId=86

Every town has a story to tell. But right now, the town of La Paz, Tarlac, has many stories of faith and healing to tell, making it a favorite destination of pilgrims aching for miracles.

There is that story two years ago of the Garingo family from Paniqui, Tarlac, desperately seeking help for their child who was full of sores. Upon entering the parish church of La Paz, the child immediately ran to the altar where Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage (Nuestra Señora de la Paz y Buen Viaje) was enshrined. The child’s wounds were healed.

Then there was that woman from Cavite who was stricken with cancer. In her dream, she saw the image of a Blessed Virgin of Tarlac. She went to several churches in Tarlac until she reached La Paz and recognized the image at the altar. She fell on her knees and prayed. Yes, her wish was granted. Today, she remains a devotee of Our Lady of La Paz.

In 2006, Jansen Bonus was comatose for eight days and doctors had little hope of recovery for him. His family stormed the church of La Paz with prayers. Yes, the boy got the bonus his family wanted.

Capiz Calilong of Amucao, Tarlac, had a cancerous mole on the cheek. Non-stop prayers before Our Lady of La Paz led to a new diagnosis: The cancer was gone.

These are but a few of the stories gathered and narrated by Fr. Ramon Capuno, rector of La Paz’s parish church, which was declared a diocesan church — a santuario — in 2006. He conducts healing Masses especially for pilgrims who troop to La Paz in buses.

Miracles abound in the history of La Paz, which was a popular stopover for merchants and tourists from Pampanga, Tarlac and Nueva Ecija. According to old folks, thorny and sticky amorsecos would be seen on the skirt of Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage. These weeds found on Our Lady’s garment made folks believe that Our Lady went out of her way to protect these travelers from harm, both along the Chico River and on land.

Fr. Capuno says that the first Catholic Church in La Paz was built around 1917, when the image of Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage was acquired by parishioners through donations.

La Paz remained peaceful, he says, even during the time of the rebel Hukbalahap movement. No severe damage was wrought by the Mt. Pinatubo eruption and the recent Typhoon Ondoy even as certain areas were underwater for days.

“Whatever miraculous healings occurred, we can attribute to the intercession of Our Lady. What is important is for us to strengthen our faith in God,” says the charismatic, 40-year-old Fr. Capuno, a Philosophy, Theology and Canon Law graduate of the University of Santo Tomas. To strengthen his parishioners’ faith, Fr. Capuno has been organizing catechetical classes in La Paz barangays ever since he was assigned to this town in 2006.

As La Paz marks its town fiesta on January 23 and 24, Fr. Capuno hopes it will be a celebration made meaningful by a renewed faith in God.

* * *

For schedules of healing Masses, contact Fr. Ramon Capuno at the Santuario de Nuestra Señora de la Paz y Buen Viaje in La Paz, Tarlac, through 0917-630-3080.

Tinapa (smoked fish) abounds in Tarlac specially in Capas.

Kumpara sa ibang produktong tinapa sa ibang probinsya ay masasabi ko na kakaiba ang sarap ng Tinapang gawang Tarlac bukod sa madaming klaseng isda ang ginagawang tinapa ay malambot at malinamnam ang laman at sariwa ang isda.Karamihan nga ay gawa sa Capas at marami din ang gumagawa sa Brgy Amucao, Tarlac City. Sa Metro Manila karamihan ng tinapa ay matigas na parang bato ang laman daig pa ang Tuyo(dried fish).

igimaster, sa mismong kabayanan ba ng La Paz nandun yung church. Ano exactly ang name nung parish church?

Yup, nasa mismong bayan, harap nyan Municipal plaza at, walking distance lang sa munisipyo.

Salamat Igi-master.

TARLAC CITY — A Korean delegation, headed by Mayor Kim Jaen Hung of Gangseo District, City of Seoul, attended the 9th Malatarlac Festival here recently.

During their visit, the Koreans also donated 10 brand new computer units to the City Government as tokens of appreciation.

They also brought with them boxes of noodles for the Feeding Program of Mayor Genaro “Aro” Mendoza, in relation with the Nutrition Program of his government.

Last Monday morning, the City Government of Tarlac and Gangseo District signed a Sisterhood Agreement to strengthen the ties between the two cities.

It can be recalled that last year, the two cities have inked a Friendship Agreement which includes the frequent exchange visits of both city officials. Mendoza said a sisterhood with the Gangseo District is a big blessing. “Actually, there’s more to come,” the mayor exclaimed. He said that the Gangseo mayor pledged to donate additional units of computers for the 76 barangays of the city.

“We are proud that Gangseo officials have chosen Tarlac City as their second home,” the mayor added.

Mendoza disclosed that the people of Tarlac should not be amazed if Korean visitors multiply in the city. He said that at present, there are more than 1,000 students enrolled at the Tarlac State University studying the English language.

“They prefer to stay in our place because aside from our being hospitable, our city is one of the peaceful areas in the country,” Mendoza stated.

The two top city officials expressed hope that the sisterhood agreement will last and bring prosperity and progress to the economic condition of this city, especially the tourism industry.

Tarlac City one of improved mid-sized cities in country

BY: Mar T Supnad



TARLAC CITY– This component city is now one of the most fast-developed and improved mid-sized cities in the country, based on a recent survey.
This was the finding of the Philippine Cities Competitiveness Ranking Program Policy Center of Asian Institute of Management which conducted the survey, showing that Tarlac City under the leadership of Mayor Genaro Mendoza appeared to be one of the most progressive in terms of economic development in the mid-sized cities category in the whole country.
Ahead of slim points were highly urbanized cities such as Olongapo and General Santos which garnered 7.05 and 6.94, rating while Tarlac City got 6.80.
AIM based its findings on Cost of Doing Business, Dynamism of Local Economy, Human Resource and Training, Infrastructure, Local Government Unit Responsiveness, at Quality of Life aspects.
“Ito lamang ang katunayan kung bakit patuloy na dinudumog ng mga naglalakihang negosyante ang ating lungsod, kaya naman ito ay dapat nating ipagpasalamat at ikarangal,” proudly said Mayor Mendoza .
Mendoza said this was the result of the Tarlakenyos’ support on his various programs aimed at upgrading the economic development and living conditions of the people here who have been provided improved and immediate services from the City administration.
Among these that have contributed to the economic development of the city are the opening of the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway, the completion of the public market and the imminent entry of various giant establishments such as Robinsons and Shoemart.
“Noong una ay ang pagkilala ng Commission on Audit sa atin bilang pinakamalakas na lungsod sa larangan ng kita sa buong rehiyon, at itong panibagong karangalang ito ay nagpapatunay lamang ng pananagana ng mga programang pinasimulan ng ating alkalde,” said a source from the City administrator office.
It will be recalled that Mendoza was given an award for being “Most Responsive Local Government Chief Executive” due to his openness and accessibility to the public, making the community closer to the city government.
This award was given during the recent “Usapang Pilipino,” a national radio program aired and launched by the DzRB and DzRM.

ok ang laki ng improvement ng Camiling. Are those pics taken from the site you told me to visit? Yung portal ng Camiling town? Indeed the pics are nice.

OO din sa mga koreans. Marami na rin sila sa city natin. In fact madalas nakakasabay ko sila sa mga groceries at supermarket. Buti nga SM is to open soon. At least naman may alternative sila aside from magic and metro. And Robinson naman is quite far sa city proper. Im also seeing them at the public market and "bagsakan ng gulay".

Tarlaqueno-ako... take a look at your post at # 399 AND 401. Di ba dapat ikaw lang ang pwede mag-edit? I never realized it was possible...or my eyes just playing tricks on me coz im 3 days sleepless na.

Hi Dustin. Thanks for your comments. Yes, thanks for www.camiling.net, I've taken those pics from that website so I can post in this forum in order to promote my hometown. So everyone can visit our beautiful place.

Galing ako sa Tarlac last weekend. So far di pa ako naka meet ng Koreans, I'm happy that they like our place. I'm hoping they will also pour hefty investments in our city in the near future.

Pag naka puesto na monument ni Cory sa may Cathedral pakipost naman ng pics dito para makita namin. Thanks again. I've read sa Central Luzon daily, Feb. 24 yata ilalagay.

Tarlac City is really doing well. I've noticed the new businesses left and right along Mc Arthur Highway from Bgy San Nicolas, San Sebastian and San Rafael. Then Robinson's Luisita is also enjoying a good share of visitors/patrons. Maganda naman kasi ang lugar.

Di ko pa nakita yung Talon Citi Plaza sa San Sebastian-San Vicente road. I hope na magboom din yung area.

I also saw Tarpaulin announcing the Grand Opening of SM City on April 23, 2010. And they are still hiring applicants, kaya sa mga naghahanap ng trabaho go na kayo!

Then, residential developers are there, like FilInvest, Camella Homes, Fiesta Communities sa Matatalaib and others.

Ang layo pa bago tayo maka Thread 2 he he. Nasaan na yung ibang forumers? Sana may magpost ng updated SM City Tarlac pics.

So nakauwi ka pala and namasyal sa Tarlac City. Saan ka naman nakarating? I mean hanggang saan ka pumunta? Wala na din yung mga ibang forumers parang tayong 2 na lang ang natira. ka inggit naman yung ibang thread kasi yung mga residents nila active na active. Yung sa Naga for instance kadami nilang forumer and I think they even set a date para magmeet sila. Same thing sa Cavite, sa Pampanga, sa Legazpi at sa visayas at sa mindanao.

Yes, umuwi ako sa Camiling, dinalaw ko lang parent and siblings ko then, kinabukasan bumalik na ako Manila tapos dumaan muna ako syempre sa Tarlac City. Tiningnan ko SM, malaki pala yung space sa harapan akala ko dati noong may harang pa, masikip, may sufficient space pala para sa babaan ng mga tao. May mga picture ako ng SM sa CP ko kaya lang I don't know how to post it here. Sana gawin na rin nila yung malaking sign ng SM para maganda he he.

Tiningnan ko rin yung Romulo Boulevard, tama ka maraming important establishments doon. Ano nga pala ang makikita sa Tarlac Museum? Na-observe ko, mukhang may itatayong commercial arcade doon malapit sa 7 Eleven. Then, maraming namamasyal sa Ma. Christina Park. Sana pagandahin din nila ang Romulo Boulevard like Ninoy Aquino Boulevard, maganda kung may garden sa gitna tapos may lightings din to make it more lively especially at night times.

Hanggang Luisita lang ako, mag didine in sana ako sa Mang Inasal kaso wala nang budget he he kaya next time na lang. But earlier, I tried kumain doon sa May Wet Market, may kainan doon, masarap yung pancit Palabok nila kaya malamang babalik ako doon, malapit sa Mc Do sa river side.

Yes, na-noticed ko rin kasi pa minsan minsan nagpopost ako sa Cavite Thread, dami nila. Dito sa Tarlac Thread, wala man lang maki join. he he.

nand2 naman ako... medyo busy busyhan lang kasi on going ang thesis defense...

I've heard Tarlac will be hosting this years Palarong Pambansa, anyone who care to post pictures of the venue?

Yan din ang bridge na naisip ko. Kaya lang may budget kaya... As I recall kc ginawa yung bridge na yun during the APEC Summit Meeting na ginanap sa Subic.

Kasi ang alam ko mahal ang ganung design ng bridge. Pero kaganda sana no kung kagaya nun ang tulay sa may Ninoy Aquino Boulevard.

Sabagay may BOT naman...sana lang may makaisip and sana may political will.

What do you mean by BOT Bro? Build-Operate-Transfer? Ibig ba sabihin niyan magpapabayad sila sa mga dadaan to have their ROI? Huwa na lang tama yung ganung tulay.

What do you mean by BOT Bro? Build-Operate-Transfer? Ibig ba sabihin niyan magpapabayad sila sa mga dadaan to have their ROI? Huwa na lang tama yung ganung tulay.

Well tulay ang pinag-uusapan natin so most probably Build and Transfer (BT). Marami kasi yan. I can elaborate if you want. May nakita ka na bang tulay na may toll fee?

Build-and-transfer (BT). - A contractual arrangement whereby the project proponent undertakes the financing and construction of a given infrastructure or development facility and after its completion turns it over to the government agency or local government unit concerned, which shall pay the proponent on an agreed schedule its total investment expended on the project, plus a reasonable rate of return thereon.

Welcome nga pala sa Tarlac Thread!

I've heard Tarlac will be hosting this years Palarong Pambansa, anyone who care to post pictures of the venue?

Yes, Tarlac is hosting this year's edition of Palarong Pambansa. Hayaan mo im planning a trip to the venue to get some shots medyo 20minute drive (more or less) lang kasi sya from our place.

State-of-art Tarlac venue to hold CLRAA meet
(The Philippine Star) Updated March 10, 2009 12:00 AM

SAN JOSE, Tarlac , Philippines – Tarlac Gov. Victor Areno Yap, said yesterday the province is ready to host the Central Luzon Regional Athletic Association (CLRAA) athletic meet on March 15-21 at the P250-million Tarlac Recreational Park (TRP), considered as one of the biggest sports venues in the country.

TRP has 60 hectares of land wherein 35 hectares has been developed for the holding of the various athletic events. The rest of the site will be used for motor cross field, BMX events, jogging, trekking, mountain climbing and other outdoor activities.

Yap said that the structures being constructed in the place include a grandstand with a view of the whole sports park, a track oval, three volleyball courts, basketball court, baseball and softball fields and dormitories for the athletes.

Yap added that the complex is being built not only for athletic competition but also as an eco-friendly recreation area.

“Eco-friendly sports complex is what we are building,” he said.

He added that the said sports and recreational park was conceived by his father, then governor Jose V. Yap, now a second district representative, after the former Tarlac athletic field was converted into a commercial area leaving the province with no sports facilities for years. In fact, it will be the first time the province will host the CLRAA meet after 20 years. – Ric Sapnu

Lapus dismayed over heavy traffic during CLRAA kick-off

BY: Eden Gutierrez

SAN JOSE, Tarlac -- Department of Education (DepEd) Secretary Jesli Lapus was a bit dismayed over the traffic jam he experienced over the weekend during the opening ceremonies of the Central Luzon Regional Athletic Association (CLRAA) Meet, held at the Tarlac Recreational Park (TRP) in this town.
Lapus, a prominent son of the province, was invited by the provincial government to be a guest of honor and speaker of the event.
“Muntik na akong ma-late sa programang ito dahil sa sobrang trapik,” Lapus lamented.
Lapus added that if the province of Tarlac really wants to host the Palarong Pambansa in 2010, they have to settle the traffic problem first, prepare everything and settle some snags that might hassle the said big event.
Heavy traffic here began when delegates from the seven participating provinces arrived in the province.
“Sa sobrang dami ng sasakyan, hindi namin na-kontrol kaagad ang trapiko kaya nagkabuhul-buhol at naging dahilan upang maantala ang mga delegado at mga bisita sa pagpunta dito,” a traffic enforcer said.
Visitors from other provinces also commented that Tarlac may not be ready to host this event for lack of facilities.
“Hinog sa pilit ang preparasyon ng Tarlac,” they said. Some motorists, meanwhile, complained of lack of parking space.
Mediamen also found some marshals of the event very arrogant. “Di kami makakuha ng magandang anggulo, kasi pinapatabi kami nang pinapatabi ng mga marshal na yan,” they lamented.
In his statement, Lapus emphasized that this sports event is necessary in enhancing students’ good education, especially those in the lower level.
“Sports must be embedded as early as in lower education,” Lapus said. “Children should encourage to learn and play. Kung puro learning lang tataas ang drop-outs kasi walang pinaglilibangan. Ang mataas na academics ay mataas na atleta. They need to conquer themselves, they need to outdo themselves,” Lapus added.
He said that in events like this, integrity is important and honesty must be the number one standard.
He also announced that modernizations of sports events are now at hand like digital reporting, that helps a lot of media people their news reporting.
The secretary also said lack of support for sports is the reason why the country has poor athletes, especially those competing abroad. But he ended up encouraging the athletes, saying, “Hangad ko ang inyong tagumpay.”
However, Governor Victor Areno Yap was very grateful for the support he received from different sectors and agencies in hosting the CLRAA Meet. He thanked all delegates from the whole region, fully supported by their local government officials.
Yap said the fair weather complemented the opening of the CLRAA Meet.
Yap also announced that some senators also made pledges for the completion of the TRP.
The 60-hectare TRP, when fully completed, can be considered one of the most state-of-the-art sports complex not only in the country but also in Asia.
The CLRAA Meet, which kicked off Sunday, will end on Saturday, March 21.

I thought this venue is for infrastructure and development. And besides, napakaluma na nang balitang yan. Im sure everyone is aware of that. And besides, this forum is not about politics.

May ibang thread naman for political agenda. Medyo OT yung post. (or OT talaga). Hindi naman lahat ng Taga-Tarlac makaNoy or makaGibo. And some are not even interested in their affairs.

Of course we are proud as Tarlaqueno that two of our nation's great (Ninoy and Cory) is from our hometown.

But then this forum is about the latest happening in your city or town. It's about progress in the works.

Thousands attend Grand Malatarlak Festival 2010


TARLAC CITY - Thousands of visitors attended a more festive Grand Malatarlak celebration here that was highlighted with a pompous array of entertainment, as gratitude to Mayor Genaro “Aro” Mendoza’s advocacy of the renaissance of culture and history.
Highlighting the usual variety of events were the Grand Parade and the all-time favorite Search for Mutya ng Lungsod ng Tarlac which featured 17 candidates who are seemingly qualified to join the Binibining Pilipinas pageant, Tarlac City Tourism Council chair Lydia Co said.
Co said that the funding for such a lavish preparation did not solely come from the people’s money but from the civil society and business sector spearheaded by Tarlac Filipino Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry and its counterpart, the Tarlac Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
“The more-than-a-week celebration was a manifestation of the cordial spirit of Tarlaqueños who, after a year of hard work, deserve relaxation,” Co said.
Every night, thousands of Tarlaqueños and guests from other municipalities and provinces, including balikbayans, gathered at Tarlac Plazuela F. Tanedo Street and other venues to witness artistic and cultural presentations participated in by multi-sectoral groups.
Mendoza thanked the locals, particularly the benefactors and the civil society, for being supportive to cultural and historical awareness, saying that it’s time for Tarlac City and its people to shine and also stand out in the eyes of fellow Filipinos.
“Thru our celebrations at Malatarlak Festival we can mirror the peculiar culture of our people in the form of songs, dances, products, and services and other forms of socio-anthropological presentations,” Mendoza added.

Downtown Concepcion, Tarlac (February 07, 2010)

I've been to Concepcion last Sunday (took the jeepney from Angeles City to Concepcion) and I was so glad to see some major development in this town. I had my lunch at their Jollibee branch before I went home to Tarlac City. I also rode the jeepney back home and it was so humid. It was 2:00 in the afternoon and the sun was blisterring hot.

http://i45.tinypic.com/dlhppy.jpg
I have to say that the building that host this 7-11 branch is quite a charm. Beautiful!

http://i45.tinypic.com/2qv61aw.jpg
I heard Mc. Donalds is about to set-up its branch in Concepcion, Tarlac too. Good news indeed!

magkasing laki lang pala ang jollibee ng concepcion sa capas,

Sana maraming manood para lalong makilala ang Tarlac City. Syanga pala ano ang meron sa Kart City.

Im hoping na mag boom pa yung Tarlac City and Camiling junction kasi may prime lot pa dyan na vacant yung eastern side, sana may mga investors na mag put up pa dyan ng commercial buildings.

Thank you Dustin, Nagustohan ko talaga. he he Ang linaw ng kuha. Lalong gumanda ang view sa Tanedo St. Isa na yan sa mga pinaka highlight na site sa City natin. Pinaka gusto ko yung last shot, yung kuha ang Cathedral. Maganda rin yung close up shot ng Cory Monument.
Titingnan ko eto pag umuwi ako, minsan kasi dyan ako naglulunch sa KFC.

It seems na witnessed mo personally ang unveiling ng Cory monument.

Okey din yun Concepcion Tarlac photos. Isa sa mga gusto kong makita eto na town sa Tarlac kasi hometown eto ni Ninoy. Parang Calamba City eto kung baga sa Laguna.
Palagay ko eto ang susunod na magiging city sa Tarlac, kasi pinaka-populated at saka in terms of revenues, nangunguna sya along with Capas, Camiling and Paniqui. Siguro dahil malapit sya sa Angeles City at Mabalacat. Pinaka-advantageous sa town na eto yung SCTEX exit kaya very accessible na rin sya even pag galing ka ng Manila.

magkasing laki lang pala ang jollibee ng concepcion sa capas,

lap_sn08, kelan ka magpopost ulit ng pics?:)

How about some information about the TSU Hostel at Lucinda Campus? Papaano pumunta doon and is this open to travellers? How much is the rate? Sana may magpost ng pics including location map.Thanks.

I'm excited again sa SM update saka yung big Tarpaulin announcing the opening of Palarong Pambansa 2010 sa Tarlac, nakalagay daw sa may SM.Any pictures?Thanks.

DOLE’s K-Ito program to continue in Tarlac town (http://www.pna.gov.ph/index.php?idn=2&sid=&nid=2&rid=260955)

GERONA, Tarlac, Feb. 25 (PNA) -– The municipal government of Gerona and the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) have entered into an agreement for the second round of the the Kabataan Information Technology Opportunities (K-ITo) Program.

The K-Ito program is one of the DOLE’s deliverable priority projects that mentors interested rural workers on information technology (IT) knowledge and use.

“Ang pamahalaang bayan ng Gerona ay laging handang sumuporta para sa ikabubuti ng taumbayan. Ipagpapatuloy pa natin ang K-Ito program (The municipal government of Gerona is always ready to support the welfare of our constituents. We will continue the K-ITo program),” Mayor Dennis Norman T. Go said during the recent awarding ceremony for the first batch that availed the program.

Go said he was very glad seeing his constituents being taught about the information technology, which he strongly believes is very vital in this modern times.

The project was made possible through the cooperation of the Municipal’s IT department head Rouie Arciaga, Public Employment Service Office (PESO) manager Ninette Mamucod, and DOLE Tarlac provincial director Ma. Rima Hernandez.

The K-Ito program in this municipality started October last year at the Municipal Library’s e-Learning Resource Center.

Twelve hopefuls yet technologically inclined youth were given job opportunities as mentors of 96 enrollees (eight each mentor).

The mentors were part of the first batch of graduates of K Ito project.

During the ceremony, DOLE handed each mentor a stipend of P4,400 in check and a brand new computer set to the PESO office in appreciation to Gerona’s efforts.

DOLE Tarlac have a total of five co-partners in the project namely: local government units of Tarlac City, Sta. Ignacia, Pura, Gerona and Camiling in which the co-partners have engaged 60 mentors with a total of 480 trainees/ beneficiaries. (PNA)

1,217 graduated in TESDA’s different courses in Tarlac town (http://www.pna.gov.ph/index.php?idn=2&sid=&nid=2&rid=260951)

PANIQUI, Tarlac, Feb. 25 (PNA) -- A total of 1,217 graduates of different courses received their certificates of completion from the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) at the Don Juan and Dona Lualhati Gymnasium here recently.

All the graduates came from the different barangays in this northern municipality of the province as part of the “Pagsasanay na Pangkabuhayan (PnP) training program.

This brings a total of 22,000 trainees from the province graduated from different courses since Gov. Vic Yap initiated the program in 2007.

The training program, through the full support of TESDA, aims to provide skills training and retooling to those who cannot afford to go to college due to poverty.

Yap said that “access is what the government is giving to Tarlaquenos.“

“Access to education, access to training, access to jobs, access to opportunities and likewise encourage everyone to grab these opportunities which really belong to every Paniquenos and particularly to all Tarlaquenos,” the governor said.

For the period of six to 10 days, different courses were being taught to the trainees in their chosen field like motorcycle mechanic, cell phone repair, manicure/pedicure, dressmaking, haircut/barbering, practical electricity, food processing, massage therapy, shielded metal arc welding, basic computer and barista/food and beverage.

Engineer Pepito Suba, senior TESDA specialist, was the one who confirmed the new technical skill graduates.

SC’s Justice on Wheels brings to Tarlac (http://www.pna.gov.ph/index.php?idn=2&sid=&nid=2&rid=261158)

TARLAC CITY, Tarlac, Feb. 26 (PNA) – Aimed to hasten the resolution of cases of the detainees in the province, court officials have recently brought the Justice on Wheels (JOW), a mobile court to the Tarlac provincial jail here.

The Supreme Court (SC) has launched the JOW program, in coordination with the provincial government of Tarlac, with an objective to address the serious backlog of court cases.

The JOW projects aims to literally bring the courts to the people via an air-conditioned bus that houses a small courtroom and offices.

It is divided into two main sections—the front section serves as the courtroom while the rear section serves as the mediation room.

The mobile court is provided with a presiding judge, clerk of court, prosecutor, public attorney, court stenographer, docket clerk, process server, driver and security guard.

The judges are assigned to the mobile court on a rotation basis.

Assisted by the members of the Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP)-Tarlac chapter, mobile court-annexed mediation, legal aid clinics as well as medical and dental missions have also been conducted for the inmates.

Chief Justice Reynato S. Puno led a forum via Information Dissemination through a Dialogue between barangay officials of this city on increasing access to justice wherein all sectors agreed on the benefits of the JOW program.

Gov. Victor A. Yap underscored the SC’s mobile court program as he defended the High Court’s record in addressing the backlog court cases.

“The alleged slow judicial process is a union of several factors, ranging from our judicial structure which adheres to the constitutional mandate of according due process to litigants, to insufficiency of resources,” Yap said.

“Just the same, the high court has come out with various rules and programs to improve the administration of justice,” he said.

The governor also accompanied Puno and other SC officials inside the jail facilities and had conversations with some detainees. (PNA)

Good morning! I'm back here sa Clark ulit. Kahapon nasa Tarlac ako. I forgot my digicam kaya wala akong pics. Sayang nagpunta pa naman kami ng Western towns kahapon.

I just want to say ang ganda ng Capitol grounds kapag gabi. Illuminated sya ng mga lanterns na may logo ng Palarong Pambansa. May giant tarpaulin din sa harapan ng Diwa ng Tarlac at may countdown din.

Ang yung SM City Tarlac halos tapos na. Kung gaano sya sa rendering ganun din kaganda yung exterior facade nya. Ang ganda ng color.

Nagpunta kami sa Mayantoc at Sta. Ignacia. Uwi ka kasi para makita mo. Magpagabi ka para makita mo yung capitol grounds at night. At yung Capitol Bldg na mismo. Uwi ka ng mga 8pm marami pa namang sasakyan pauwi sa Camiling noon. Wala ka bang relatives sa Tarlac City para matuluyan mo?

Wala akong relatives. Pero natry ko na ilang beses umuwi na ginabi. Maski gabihin naman ako may mga bus pa na available at pagdating ng Camiling 24 hours na ang tricycle doon papuntang Bario.Thanks. he he.

Diyan na ako mag grogroceries sa SM Tarlac pag uuwi ako. Paminsan minsan kasi sa Magic Star at noong bago pa ang Uniwide, na try ko na rin. Kaso di puede ang credit card sa Uniwide. Di ko lang alam ngayon.

Mayantoc is the summer capital daw ng Tarlac. Ang Camiling daw ang mother town ng Sta Ignacia at Mayantoc. Marami pa ring residents ng Mayantoc at Sta Ignacia ang namimili sa sa Camiling kasi mas mura daw ang bilihin doon.

Mayantoc is the summer capital of Tarlac. It is also known as "little Baguio". Maganda pero twice pa lang akong nakakapunta. May mga classmates din ako sa college dati na taga "tiuek" ba yun... sa Camiling sya. Basta ganun halos ang spellng ng place? Tama ba?

Uwi ka para makita mo ang SM dito sa atin. Ako sa friday pa ang uwi ko then Sunday balik ako ulit dito sa Pampanga.

Kung gusto mo ng pancit palabok, halo-halo, canton, dinuguan, puto, chicharon...try mo Puring's Kitchen sa MH del Pilar (sa may Puno Arcade). May large-sizes din sila for takeout orders. Masarap ang gawa nila.

Malapit lang ba ang Camiling sa Bayambang? Kung malapit sya I'll try my best para makarating sa town ng Bayambang. Di kc ako familiar sa ibang towns ng Pangasinan. Ang alam ko lang at napuntahan na ay Dagupan, Manaoag (lagi), San Fabian, Urdaneta, Rosales, Sual, Mangatarem, Alaminos, Bolinao.

Hello guys magandang araw!

Nagreresearch kasi ako about power crisis, baka naman alam niyo ang lahat ng power plants na nakatayo sa Tarlac?

So far ang alam ko lang ay:

18.9 MW Bunker C Power Plant sa Capas, Tarlac

Totoo bang merong 40 MW na Bio-Energy plant na nakatayo? At meron bang existing na 100MW Hacienda Bio-Energy plant?

Tapos baka alam niyo rin yung 15 MW na ethanol based power plant na itatayo daw this year.

May mga nakita kasi ako sa net pero hindi ako sure kung existing na ba talaga ang mga ito.

Sana may makapagconfirm. Salamat in advance!

malapit lang yun,sakay ka lang ng byahing san carlos ,kapit bayan nyo lang kami dyan nga kami namamalingki kung minsan sa camiling 15 mins lang ang byahe ko pag trycycle and 10 mins pag bus.

Next town after Camiling is Bayambang, pag dineretso mo yung highway pagdating mo ng Camiling junction pag galing ka ng Tarlac. Di ko alam na 15 min. lang pala yan pag tricycle, di ko na kasi maalala,once pa lang ako nakapunta doon sa may Paragos Bayambang Pangasinan kasi may auntie ako doon at nanghiram ako ng Barong Tagalog ng cousin ko, sumakay pa kami ng bangka para makatawid at marating namin yung bahay nila he he. Takot ako kasi ang lalim ng tubig.

Try mo pumunta Dustin para may maishare ka naman sa amin. Kasi di ko pa rin nakikita ang town proper ng Bayambang. May nabasa pa nga ako na ang Camiling daw ay dating barrio ng Bayambang.

Yap try ko pag may time yung sinasabi mo na Puring's kitchen. May kinainan kasi ako last time sa likod ng Mc Do sa may palengke, ok naman. Sana lang ma maintain ang cleanliness ng MH del Pilar kasi parang extension eto ng Tanedo. Effective siguro kung maging practice natin yung tapat ko linis ko. Tapos maglagay ng pa-isa isang painted trash cans along the streets para magandang tingnan.

Try mo pumunta Dustin para may maishare ka naman sa amin. Kasi di ko pa rin nakikita ang town proper ng Bayambang. May nabasa pa nga ako na ang Camiling daw ay dating barrio ng Bayambang.

Yap try ko pag may time yung sinasabi mo na Puring's kitchen. May kinainan kasi ako last time sa likod ng Mc Do sa may palengke, ok naman.

Sa Manila ka ba nagwowork? Ano work mo at saan sa Manila? Madalas kasi ako sa Mall of Asia may transport services na kasi ang Philtranco from SM Clark to Mall of Asia, Megamall at Cubao. Sa SM Tarlac kaya magkakaroon din ng terminal ang Philtranco?

Hayaan mo try ko magtravel to Bayambang. Alam mo kasi isa sa mga hilig ko ay yung mag joy-ride. Kahit ako lang. Every year kasi, I make it a point na makapagtravel sa mga lugar na hindi ko pa napupuntahan. Minsan, nakaka 4 to 5 places ako na napupuntahan...(in and out of the country). And also, one of the perks sa company namin ay yung travel package na once or twice a year binibigay sa mga admin officers.

Type ko nga magpunta ng Batanes at Bohol. Pero di pa siguro ngayon toxic pa sa work... baka sa mid-summer na.

Kung gusto mong mag food trip pag nasa Tarlac ka...punta ka sa bagong palengke sa F. Tanedo. Yung mismong gitna nya ay stalls ng mga carinderia at mga food shop. Minsan kasi naglunch ako doon. Pili ka lang saan ang gusto mo.

Malapit lang ako sa Mall of Asia, mga 15 minutes ride. he he. Office worker ako. Galing pala ng company nyo dahil you have that previlege to travel, airline or travel agency ba kayo?

Di ko pa nakita loob ng new public market, try ko pumasok pag may time.

Ano pa kaya mga new infrastructure projects sa Tarlac, private and public? I'm very eager to know some developments in our province and city.
