Di naman siguro masyado, pero kung dudumogin ng tao palagi ang SM, malamang traffic yan, baka magwidening sila doon sa San Sebastian-San Vicente bypass road. Para yan sa mga papuntang Western Pangasinan, yung mga papuntang Baguio naman, puede sila daan sa SCTEX, tapos labas sila Lapaz exit.Saka sana maglagay din sila ng overpass sa tapat para sa mga pedestrians.

Medyo kinilabotan ako sa sinabi mo na lumubog ang Paragos. he he. OO, parang nabanggit yata ng mga tiyahin ko na lumubog na raw ang bario nila kaya nagrelocation sila. Mga mid 1980's pa yun pag punta ko doon. Onion producing ang Bayambang, dami sibuyas doon, at kami naman ay rice producing sa Camiling.

my God, what's happening to logo of SM? ang pangit!!! masyadong stiff yung bagong logo nila. and what's with the circle thingy around the logo?

guys lets pray for the eternal repose of our congressman aping yap who passed away last monday....

Mabalacat-Bamban Bridge

This Nielsen-Lohse basket arch bridge is one of the most modern and sleek-looking bridges in the country. The original Bamban Bridge was destroyed in 1991 when Pinatubo erupted, cutting off vital transportation routes since MacArthur Highway is the major link between northern Luzon and Manila. Various other bridges were erected in place soon after but each one was washed away too, forcing some Baguio vacationers from Manila to take the Concepcion, Tarlac route.

The bridge’s arch has a span of 174 meters and contains 1,400 tons of steel. It is one of the longest bridges of its type in the world and was completed sometime around 1998. It is quite a landmark in an area devastated by Pinatubo’s eruption. - Source (http://www.vistapinas.com/article/bamban-bridge)

Local rider rules Stage 5 at own turf (http://www.manilastandardtoday.com/insideSports.htm?f=2010/march/4/sports3.isx&d=2010/march/4)

SAN JOSE, TARLAC—Tomas Martinez of Smart knew the terrain like the palm of his hand and cashed in on it to seize Stage 5 of the 2010 Liquefied Petroleum Gas Marketers Association (LPGMA) Tour of Luzon yesterday at the Tarlac Monastery here.

And while most of the riders were caught off-guard by the challenging landscape, Martinez hardly encountered any difficulty after three hours, six minutes and 11.61 seconds for a solo finish at the end of their 145-kilometer ride from Clark, Pampanga.

“Matagal na akong nag-eensayo sa mga bundok na ito,” said the 29-year-old RP team rider, who hails from Baras-Baras, Tarlac. “Mahirap dito, pero nasanay na din.”

Dennis Von Nickalk of EMG Cycling came 12.43 seconds later followed by Arnel Quirimit of Liquigaz (50.18), Kelly Benefit skipper Reid Mumford (1:02.78), American Vinyl’s Cris Joven (1:27.3) and Tots Oledan (1:33.27), Batang Tagaytay’s Daniel Asto (1:33.27) and Alfredo Asuncion (1:38.33).

Completing the Top 10 in the lap backed by partylist group LPGMA, Liquigaz, GeoEstate Beacon, Burlington, Energizer and Schick were Renato Sembrano of GeoEstate (1:57.53) and Santi Barnachea of Liquigaz (1:57.53).

Mumford grabbed the overall lead with a total time of nine hours, two minutes and 44.53 seconds while erstwhile leaders Ryan Anderson of Kelly Benefits (3:38.11) and James Perry of EMG (4:05.50) lost the pole position after falling eighth and ninth, respectively.

David Veilleux of Kelly Benefits moved up to second (9.54), Nickalk improved to third (19.37) and Barnachea made a surprise progress to fourth overall (2:05.02). Asuncion (2:50.51), Oledan (2:55.29) and Tolentino (3:12.11) also made it into the Top 10.

Martinez broke free in the final 17 kilometers at the foot of the hill with Nickalk, Querimit, Mumford and Joven furiously chasing him down, while the yellow jersey was buried in the main peloton more than five minutes away.

When the big group with Anderson and Perry made the ascent, the riders broke into several splinters as the road undulated and twisted going up.

“Na-sorpresa kami ng daan. Hindi naming akalain na ganito pala kahirap ito,’’ said Quirimit, the 2003 Tour champion and Stage 3 lap winner.

Chief Commissaire Renato Del Mundo marked the last 17 kilometers of the course as a Category I climb, with its steep hairpin turns and harsh elevated layout.

“This one is shorter, but has the steepness of Baguio,” said Del Mundo. Baguio has been classified as Hors, considered as the most difficult elevation in the sport.

Teodoro’s birthday gift to wife: ‘All the love in the world’ (http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/nation/view/20100303-256480/Teodoros-birthday-gift-to-wife-All-the-love-in-the-world)

By Lira Dalangin-Fernandez

MANILA, Philippines—Administration candidate Gilbert Teodoro's green campaign hue was all over the birthday bash of his wife, Nikki, at the Batasan Park in Quezon City Wednesday night, even as the Tarlac congresswoman insisted she wanted to celebrate it with the kids.

The couple arrived in the venue with their 11-year-old son, Jaime Gilberto, amid a crowd of about 4,000, mostly children from the area.

"Since I'm the one who formed the child welfare committee (in the House of Representatives), I decided it's more worthy to spend it with the innocent . . . there's no intrigues," Nikki told reporters in an interview.

The congresswoman, who turned 44, said she traditionally celebrates her birthday with a party with the children in her district, but her friends organized it near the Batasan complex this time because it was close to the chamber where her pet bill was passed, the Anti-Child Pornography Act.

Nikki wore jeans and a black shirt with a green print saying, "Misis ni Gibo."

"I'm the only one who can wear this because I'm his only misis (wife)," said Nikki of the shirt, which she said was a gift.

Teodoro was asked about his gift to his wife, but Nikki replied before he did.

"All the love in the world," she said.

Teodoro added, "And other things. Secret."

Parlor games and dance number by children kept the crowd entertained. The rock band, Rivermaya, who sang Teodoro's campaign jingle, also belted out songs.

Quezon City Representative Annie Rosa Susano and actress Dawn Zulueta, wife of Representative Anton Lagdameo were also spotted in the crowd.

Organizers, supporters, marshals and volunteers for Teodoro were in green.

In lieu of leaflets and stickers, food were distributed like juice, Goldilocks
cupcakes, ice drops, ice cream and chips.

Bebot Diaz, Nikki's chief of staff, said friends of the couple donated for the food and other expenses for the event.

Outside the venue, tricycles with Teodoro streamers paraded the streets.

DOT expects 15% growth in tourist arrivals in 2010 (http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=555425&publicationSubCategoryId=108)

By Ehda M. Dagooc

CEBU, Philippines - The Department of Tourism (DOT) expects at least a 15 percent growth of tourist arrivals in the top destinations in the country in the year 2010, as domestic and travel movement continues to increase, boosted with the recovering interests of foreign travelers.

In an industry report released recently by DOT, it revealed that anchored on the smooth implementation of Tourism Act or RA 9593, the department foresees the coordinated and integrated efforts of the government and the private sector to expand current capacity, increase tourist demand, enhance tourism revenues, and create more employment opportunities in tourist destinations.

Because of the implementation of the RA 9593, DOT is confident to hit at least 15 percent growth of domestic and tourists’ arrivals to the top destinations in the country.

Cebu has emerged as the number one tourism destination in the Philippines for 2009 with total tourist traffic arrival for the year hit 1.61 million, a 1.2 percent increase compared to figure recorded in the previous year.

The Tourism Act of 2009 seeks to regulate and uplift the standard of tourism services; to strengthen promotional capability of our tourism industry; to create infrastructure such as hotel development and beaches; to encourage private sector participation; to ensure and focus a cooperative approach among various agencies and institutions; and to ensure competitiveness and increase market share.

The new law “declares a national policy for tourism as an engine of investment, employment, growth and national development, and strengthens the DOT and its attached agencies to effectively and efficiently implement that policy.”

The report also underscored that by year-end 2009, the DOT has endorsed 28 new tourism projects worth P 36.3 billion with estimated employment capacity of 15,567 once operational.

The bulk of new investments are in the Tourism Economic Zones amounting to P29 billion. These include the Eagle Entertainment City, Bagong Nayong Pilipino Entertainment City, Embarcadero de Legaspi, Akean Resorts and Ilawod Estate Tourism Economic Zone.

Additional investment in the accommodation sector with total cost of P5.4 billion is projected to employ 2,722 people. This include the Remington Hotel (1,000 rooms) and Microtel Inns and Suites (150 rooms) in Manila, Sheridan Beach Resort (96 rooms) in Puerto Princesa City, Highlander Hotel (76 rooms) in Nueva Vizcaya and Green Canyon EcoPark (75 rooms) in Tarlac.

In connection to this, the airline sector responded to the growth in the tourism sector as Cebu Pacific, Zest Airways and SeaAir have poured investments to acquire new aircrafts to cope with the demand for increased air travel. Total investments of these airlines were valued at P15.9 billion.

Total tourist traffic in the top fourteen (14) destinations in 2009 reached 8.9 million for 14 percent growth. This feat is attributed to the combined efforts of the Department of Tourism, the private sector, local government units and other stakeholders to continually diversify the tourism products, increase accommodation and transport capacities, and upgrade existing tourism services.

Top 10 destinations in the Philippines include; Cebu, Camarines Sur, Metro Manila, Baguio City, Davao City, Boracay Island, Cagayan de Oro City, Zambales, Bohol, Puerto Princesa City, Camiguin, Cagayan Valley, Negros Oriental and Ilocos Norte.

Tarlac loses political giant with death of peacemaker Yap (http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/inquirerheadlines/regions/view/20100302-256275/Tarlac-loses-political-giant-with-death-of-peacemaker-Yap)

Philippine Daily Inquirer

TARLAC CITY—PEACEMAKER and one of Tarlac’s political giants, Rep. Jose “Aping” Yap, died of prostate cancer on Monday night.

Yap, 81, had been a pillar of Tarlac politics and was a leading advocate of peace when he led the government negotiating panel that reached out to communist leaders during the administrations of Presidents Corazon Aquino and Fidel Ramos.

Yap, who died at 10 p.m. Monday at the Chinese General Hospital in Manila, spent most of his life in politics, starting out in the early 1950s as mayor of his hometown of Victoria when he was 26.

A close friend and party mate of the slain Sen. Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr. under the Liberal Party, Yap was a staunch critic of the Marcos dictatorship and martial law.

Known as Aquino’s political tactician, Yap led the opposition in Tarlac during martial law.

He was appointed administrator of Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System during the Aquino administration.

In 1988, he was elected representative of Tarlac’s second district and served for three terms.

A known close associate of former Tarlac Rep. Jose “Peping” Cojuangco Jr., Yap, in 1998, surprised his province mates when he coalesced with the political party of businessman Eduardo “Danding” Cojuangco Jr., Peping’s estranged cousin, and ran for governor against reelectionist Gov. Margarita Cojuangco, Peping’s wife. Yap won and served for three terms.

In 2007, he returned to Congress to represent the province’s second district. His son, Victor, won the gubernatorial race that year against Peping Cojuangco.

Yap, a lawyer, was running for a second term under the Lakas-Kampi-CMD in the May 10 elections when he died. His death took Tarlaqueños by surprise as his illness was not known to many of his province mates.

His remains lie at the Sta. Maria Della Strada Church in Quezon City. He will be given honors in the House of Representatives on Thursday morning before he is taken to the Tarlac provincial capitol in the afternoon.

Yap will be taken to his hometown of Victoria on Friday and will be buried on Sunday in Sitio Lubigan in San Jose town, site of the Monasterio de Tarlac.

SM na ang bagong stop over ng mga byahero!

Sana hindi ito magdulot ng matinding traffic lalo na sa Romulo Hiway-Mc Arthur Hiway Juction

Alam ko they have traffic schemes para maiwasan ang clogged ng traffic sa may SM CITY area.

Yap, nakita ko sa Phil. Star, may slot na doon sa ads ang SM Tarlac Cinema announcing that it will be opened on April 23, 2010.:banana:

OO nga, may slot na sya sa newspaper. April 23 na nga ang opening. Ang ganda ng SM Tarlac...hindi dahil sa taga-Tarlac ako pero as in ang ganda ng outcome nya. The color is so vibrant (as in combination ng matingkad and pale na blue) Nag iba talaga ang landscape ng portion na yun ng Mc. Arthur Hi-way...

I never saw it last friday na umuwi ako kasi past 9 na ng gabi and nakatulog ako sa bus ng pag gising ko Siesta na. Then nung Sabado, my family had lunch sa may Tessie's Grill (right in front of SM CITY TARLAC) and doon ko nakita sa in lahat kami napa WOW.

Uwi ka Tarlaqueno-ako...see it in daylight para malaman mo what I mean..

my God, what's happening to logo of SM? ang pangit!!! masyadong stiff yung bagong logo nila. and what's with the circle thingy around the logo?

Ok naman sya...i guess nasanay lang tayo dun sa dati...but I have to agree na they could have done it more creatively.

Di ako nakauwi Dustin kasi busy ako nitong weekend. Baka sa holy week na ako makauwi. Di mo ba nadala digi cam mo kaya wala kang pic ng SM? Excited na ako makita ang new SM dahil sa mga sinabi mo.he he.

Ano sa palagay mo sisikat kaya ang Tessie's Grill pag bukas na ang SM? Kasi ang ganda ng location tapat sya ng SM City. Dati nasa tapat sila ng Metrotown.

Baka sa Eco Tourism Park yan sa San Jose, Tarlac yan gagawin. Di kaya?

Di ako nakauwi Dustin kasi busy ako nitong weekend. Baka sa holy week na ako makauwi. Di mo ba nadala digi cam mo kaya wala kang pic ng SM? Excited na ako makita ang new SM dahil sa mga sinabi mo.he he.

Ano sa palagay mo sisikat kaya ang Tessie's Grill pag bukas na ang SM? Kasi ang ganda ng location tapat sya ng SM City. Dati nasa tapat sila ng Metrotown.

May mga pics ako baka bukas ko na ipost. Ginagawa ko kasi research ng pamangkin ko hehehe..:nuts:: I have pics nung bagong Spa sa may EZ CENTER... then 2 pics ng SM Tarlac.

Ok naman ang patronage ng Tessies Grill. Actually matagal na rin sya kasi college pa ako kumakain na kami dati sa Tessies (sa old location pa nya sa harapan ng Metrotown Mall). Pero syempre mas sisikat sya kasi tapat sya mismo ng SM.:banana:

April 23 na ba talaga grand opening ng SM City Tarlac? Hindi ba siya magkakaruon ng soft opening? I expect na mag-open sya before the Palarong Pambansa dahil siguradong maraming dadayo sa SM kung sakali. And nabasa ko na major sponsor sa Palarong Pambansa 2010 ang Smart at SM.

Baka sa Eco Tourism Park yan sa San Jose, Tarlac yan gagawin. Di kaya? Siguro nga. Sobrang ganda ng view dyan lalo na kung asa taas ka ng monestary, kitang kita mo pano ka lawak ang Tarlac. sana mapagplanuhan ng mabuti ang mga developments dyan

April 23 na ba talaga grand opening ng SM City Tarlac? Hindi ba siya magkakaruon ng soft opening? I expect na mag-open sya before the Palarong Pambansa dahil siguradong maraming dadayo sa SM kung sakali. And nabasa ko na major sponsor sa Palarong Pambansa 2010 ang Smart at SM.

I think meron kasi ang definite lang sa April 23, 2010 ay ang mga sinehan (SM CINEMA). Kasi naisip ko rin baka ihabol sa Palarong Pambansa kasi kung titignan mo halos tapos na sya then Mar 8 pa lang ngayon. Sa April 11 ang Palaro, so baka mag soft open sya sa duration ng Palarong Pambansa. SAna lang! Pero baka nga.

Im planning to get some pics of the Palaro venue kaya lang di ako makaalis papuntang San Jose. Laging busy.

In the meantime heto muna mga pics. Sana maenjoy nyo!

We had dinner nga pala sa Robinson's Luisita last weekend. Nandun pa rin ang Dencio's, Pancake House, yung mga banko existing pa rin., and napansin ko dumarami ang mga tao pag almost gabi na. (mga 4 to 6). Yung Jollibee at Maxx Restaurant puno halos wala kang maupuan. Same with Chowking and may Mini-Stop na rin. Sa Mang Inasal kami kumain kasi yung pinsan ko mahilig sa unlimited rice :banana:.

May mga kiosk din like yung mga hotdog on sticks, black pearl, native deli, shakes, siomai outlets, goto, shawarma, fishballs, kikiam, squidballs and marami pa.

Ang daming tao as in iisipan mo saan sila nanggagaling. Yung parking ng Robinson's puno sigurado mga travellers ang mga iba na nag stop-over lang.

I'm sure super hit ang SM Tarlac kasi by the reception na nakita ko sa Robinson's, baka triple pa ang mangyari sa SM. Knowing the patronage of SM Supermalls... kahapon nga sa SM Clark gabi na pero ang dami paring tao.

Kwento ko lang ah…. Last night pagdating ng bus sa Dau tumuloy ako sa SM Clark para sa last screening ng “ALICE IN WONDERLAND”. Nabasa ko kasi sa Naga Thread na showing sa kanila ang movie (SM Naga) in 3D format and also at SM CLARK. They even had yung SM Cinema ads sa newspaper posted. So I checked with the SM Cinema and indeed ALICE in Wonderland is showing in SM Naga and Clark in 3D.

At SM Clark, the movie is showing in 2 cinemas. 2 AND 3. Cinema 3 is in 3D.(with 3D glasses). The admission is 250 (Cinema 3) may libre ka pang pop corn (wala syang coke) pero sponsor ang Coke and nakalagay sa stub one free meal.

So I went to see the film dahil super curious talaga ako how is it like seeing 3D in a regular size screen.

SO my verdict (opinion ko lang ah)… As for the film, it was indeed a visual feast. Pero I would still prefer the IMAX Screen for 3D. Kasi I didn’t enjoy the experience. I even went to the 1st row ng sinehan para lang mafeel kong nagpa pop-out yung mga characters sa screen. Unliike for instance yung scene sa ‘A CHRISTMAS CAROL” na umuulan ng snow, you would feel na inuulanan ka rin ng snow and that the snowflakes are getting into you. I think yun ang difference. Iba ang 3D sa IMAX Theater than a regular size screen.

At tsaka nakikita mo yung mga upuan sa harapan mo unlike sa IMAX na napakasteep ng set-up ng mga upuan kaya there’s nothing to block your view. And malalaki yung mga 3D glasses sa IMAX theater.

Maybe nasanay lang ako sa IMAX for 3D format. Kasi pumupunta pa ako ng MOA kung may showing na 3D sa IMAX na gusto ko. Kaya my experience yesterday failed in comparison. (or rather suffered by comparison?)

So kung willing naman kayong magtravel to MOA or North Edsa... mas ok kung sa IMAX theater na lang kayo manood ng 3D, kasi dagdag ka lang naman ng konti sa admission fee mas maeenjoy mo pa ang experience.

Opinion ko lang naman.

guys,,, meron akong ginawang fan page ng SM sa FACEBOOK.... hope na makasali kau... just type SM CITY TARLAC.... meju konti pa lang ang sumali... hope na dumami pa tau... kung sino man sa inyo ang may facebook.... join na kau... thanks!!!

Siguro nga. Sobrang ganda ng view dyan lalo na kung asa taas ka ng monestary, kitang kita mo pano ka lawak ang Tarlac. sana mapagplanuhan ng mabuti ang mga developments dyan

Yap, ganda. Gusto ko rin sana makita ng personal yan. Maybe maraming dadayo diyan especially ngayong holy week.

Wow, ang ganda na ng SM. Wish ko lang sana mag soft opening sila during the opening of Palarong Pambansa, sigurado puno yan. He he.

Welcome to Tarlac City and Province thread ppotter 77.

Thank you for the pictures Dustin. We enjoyed it a lot.

Maraming nagagandahan sa architectural design ng Jollibee Luisita. Dami pa nagpapapicture dyan. I'm glad na dinadayo pa rin yan. Sana maski may TPLEX na, madami pa ring mag stop over dyan sa Tarlac Via Mc Arthur Highway lalo na ngayon may SM na.

^^ Great update Dustin!

Yap, ganda. Gusto ko rin sana makita ng personal yan. Maybe maraming dadayo diyan especially ngayong holy week. May parts ng kalsada leading to Tarlac ecopark single lane lang pag galing ka ng Tarlac city, may bridge dun single lane rin. parts naman mejo rough road lalo na kung via capas-san jose.

^^ Pictures na kuha ko last year.. may bagong pictures ba kayo dyan ng monestario? :)

Ganda talaga ng view Allan Dude, sana kasama ka diyan sa picture para makita ka naman namin he he.

I hope to visit that place someday kasi may brother in law ako sa San Jose tapos papasyalan ko na rin yung Tarlac Recreation Park.

Im planning to get some pics of the Palaro venue kaya lang di ako makaalis papuntang San Jose. Laging busy.

In the meantime heto muna mga pics. Sana maenjoy nyo!

We had dinner nga pala sa Robinson's Luisita last weekend. Nandun pa rin ang Dencio's, Pancake House, yung mga banko existing pa rin., and napansin ko dumarami ang mga tao pag almost gabi na. (mga 4 to 6). Yung Jollibee at Maxx Restaurant puno halos wala kang maupuan. Same with Chowking and may Mini-Stop na rin. Sa Mang Inasal kami kumain kasi yung pinsan ko mahilig sa unlimited rice :banana:.

May mga kiosk din like yung mga hotdog on sticks, black pearl, native deli, shakes, siomai outlets, goto, shawarma, fishballs, kikiam, squidballs and marami pa.

Ang daming tao as in iisipan mo saan sila nanggagaling. Yung parking ng Robinson's puno sigurado mga travellers ang mga iba na nag stop-over lang.

I'm sure super hit ang SM Tarlac kasi by the reception na nakita ko sa Robinson's, baka triple pa ang mangyari sa SM. Knowing the patronage of SM Supermalls... kahapon nga sa SM Clark gabi na pero ang dami paring tao.

Pinaka service area kasi ng SCTEX Luisita exit ang Robinson's Luisita kaya dito nag sstop over mga travellers papuntang North. Kaya siguro palagi maraming tao. May choice na sila pag open na ang SM City.

Yung taas ng Robinsons mukhang di pa tapos, puro BPO na lang kaya ang gagawin doon?

Favorite ko rin ang Mang Inasal. Kasi meron dito malapit sa office namin.:)

Sa tingin ko di practical ang bagkakadesign ng Tarlac Pub Market. Medyo masikip, mas pinahalagahan pa itsura kesa function, para lang sakin e dapat balanced kc di maganda, para sakin din di maganda pagkakadesign ng architecture. Wala ngalang akong picture para makita nyo. Ang motto ko lang kc sa architecture, "design should compliment function"

ilang level ba tong sm city tarlac?

Ang alam ko yung sa harap, 3 levels, yung gitna 4 levels tapos yung likod 2 levels.

Ang ganda ng color ng SM Tarlac, wait na lang natin yung malaking SM signage sa harapan.

I hope na magproliferate pa ang business establishments dyan sa McArthur Highway starting from Luisita up to Tanedo crossing especially sa Romulo Highway/McArthur Highway junction where the SM Tarlac is located. Just like in Calamba crossing of Laguna.

I think magkakaroon yata ng branch ang Robinson's Bank sa Luisita.

it's both

Ang ganda ng color ng SM Tarlac, wait na lang natin yung malaking SM signage sa harapan..



Actually installed na yung malaking SM signage kanina sa harapan. Nandito na ako ulit sa Tarlac. I arrived kanina sa Siesta mga 5:00 pm. Nabigla nga ako dahil ang bilis nilang nainstall.

SM City Tarlac is the first SM Supermalls to use the new SM Logo. Iba na yung signage nya ... yung bagong logo na ng SM.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/17/Smtarlacnewsmlogo.jpg

Ganito yung signage nya sa harapan. Bago ako bumalik sa work try ku kuhanan ng pic para maipost dito.

Mas mabilis talaga ang installation ng logo ng tarlac kasi circle nlng ang ikakabit plus the letters kesa sa old SM logo kasi iniisa isa talaga

Sige nga pakikuhanan ng picture Dustin, Im very eager to see na the SM Tarlac with the big signage.

Lahat na ba na bagong SM ganyan na ang magiging logo?

Sana maganda rin ang loob ng bagong SM City Tarlac. Baka may oval din para sa entertainment shows. Sana mag mall tour dyan yung cast ng First Time ng GMA sigurado patok yan sa mga bagets. he he. Tapos sina Gerald naman at Kim ng ABS.

YUng circle para doon sa S and M letters (SM) ay installed na. Pero wala pa yung mga letters na S at M. Pero yung 2nd line na "CITY" at yung 3rd line na "Tarlac" ay nakalagay na.

I think OO. And sigurado may mga celebrity mall shows...lahat naman ng SM Malls meron.
Try mo kasi umuwi kahit balikan lang... travel ka ng maaga then uwi ka ng mga 6 ng hapon...lapit lang naman ng Tarlac sa Manila...para naman makita mo. Kasi kung sa Holy Week ka pa uuwi medyo matagal pa yun. Pero if talagang busy ka, sige pictures na lang muna.

it's both

I see. I was kinda confused since it only says Robinsons Luisita not Robinsons Place Luisita. Is this a new thing for Robinsons or is it a different type of Robinsons mall like an SM City and an SM Supercenter?

I have to agree with you. Functionality-wise parang hindi masyadong napag-isipan. Para ding ang daming idle na space. Sayang yung area... mas may maganda sanang pwedeng itayo. Ano sa tingin nyo?

Welcome nga pala sa SSC!

Ganito yung signage nya sa harapan. Bago ako bumalik sa work try ku kuhanan ng pic para maipost dito. Ganyan na nga, may malaking bilog. nakita ko rin :)

As compared to other cities, mAS madami ngayon ang job openings sa Tarlac City, na observe ko lang, di lang ang SM ang may vacancy, may iba pang companies, type nyo lang jobs in Tarlac City sa yahoo search, baka may maapplyan kayo. 94 counts lahat ang bakante minsan umaabot ng mahigit 100. Grabe, galing ng Tarlac.

Yang kart city dyan madalas ang mga pamangkin ko. Sa tessie's naman favorite resto ng kapatid ko so lagi nya kaming nililibre ng lunch at dinner. And masarap naman talaga yung chicken at yung pancit canton.

and these two favorites are located right in front of SM City Tarlac. just across the street along the Hi-way:banana::banana::banana:

Sabi ng uncle ko (who works as an engineer sa SM City Tarlac), they are trying to beat an April 10 opening in time for the Palarong Pambansa (April 11-17).

Ang ganda ng SM natin noh! (though lahat naman ng SM maganda)

Pero in my opinion stand out ang SM Tarlac, SM Clark, SM Marikina, SM Baguio, SM Rosales. Exception syempre yung MOA.

I think maganda rin yung SM Naga. Nakita ko na yung SM Naga kaya lang hindi pa sya bukas the time na nasa Naga ako. Kasi April kami nandun at May siya nagbukas.

So mga Tarlaqueno... ilang tulog na lang may bagong mall na naman tayo at SM na. Kung ilang araw yung nasa Palaro countdown yun din ang araw na hinihintay natin sa pagbubukas ng SM City Tarlac! :banana::banana::banana:

I must agree na maganda ang SM Tarlac like SM Baguio and SM Clark pero di ako nagagandahan sa design ng SM Rosales, saka parang ang liliit ng mga stalls sa loob. Ang liit ng National Book Store same with Silicon Valley etc. Anyway, I just hope gumawa agad sila ng overpass sa tapat ng SM Tarlac. Ang hirap at nakakatakot kasi tumawid sa part na iyan. And I think magkakaruon ng road widening sa McArthur Highway.

Opinion ko lang naman yun... welcome nga pala ulit. Post no 2 ka na...sana madalas kang magpost dito sa tarlac thread... taga tarlac ka ba? i think oo siguro?

Siguro maglalagay sila kasi para ngang edsa sa bilis yung mga sasakyan sa part na yan ng highway then ang lapad pa ng tatawirin mo.

pero para sakin, maganda yung interior design ng SM rosales, ung exterior niya plain white at yellow dapat blue n lng sana gaya ng sm tarlac.. mas malaki pa nga ang leasable area niya kesa sa sa sm bacolod at baliwag eh.

Phinkiss, matanong ko lang... ano nang balita dun sa SM Urdaneta? Meron pa ba?

Kasi kalapit lang ng Rosales sa Urdaneta... anong balita sa inyo?

ang ganda ng sm tarlac....

ndi pa xa feasible at the moment na patayuan ng mall kc 9 kilometers lng sm rosales na..
at tsaka may problem daw sa land....but they are planning to build somewhere in metro dagupan (calasiao, mangaldan, dagupan) at ang robinsons nakabili n ng 15 hectares of land sa calasiao, pero ang sm ndi pa din foreclose ung property nila sa dagupan at urdaneta, cguro for future develpment...

Sa tingin mo why did SM prefer Rosales over Urdaneta? Di ba originally Urdaneta sya? What do you think? Hinarang ba talaga sa Urdaneta? yun kasi ang balita ng mga pinsan ko dyan sa Urdaneta. Di lang ako sure.

hinarang tlga xa, dapat nga 2004 p lng may sm urdaneta na, un tlga ung plano after itinayo ang sm baguio nung 2003.. balita q ung mayor ng urdaneta kamag anak nila ung ceo ng magic mall, CSI mall at pati CB balingit mall.

Oo ang alam ko din 2002 pa lang nasa plano na sya and dapat 2004 operational na. Sayang... Anyway nalipat naman sa Rosales, yun nga lang medyo nalungkot yung mga ibang nasa Urdaneta na SM fanatic. Sayang talaga.

Wow, ganda ng SM Tarlac. Last night lang ako last na nag log in dami na agad nagpost.he he.

Nice shots Dustin. Ang ganda ng perspective photo ng SM at night. Sana makuhanan din ng actual in the future pag operational na. Sa actual, wala pa nga lang yung mga halaman, sana may greenery din ng kaunti sa harapan like in SM City Edsa.

Agree ako, nakakatakot tumawid dyan, ang bibilis ng mga sasakyan. In the meantime sana maglagay na sila ng designated pedestrian lane sa tapat.

Favorite ko rin yung pancit dyan sa Tessie's Grill. Sana lalakas pa ang Tessie's maski may SM na.

Sana may shot din yung buong junction yung kuha yung mercury drug, gusto ko makita yung pagbabago ngayon na may SM na he he.

Thanks Dustin! Actually, Im following this thread for quite awhile kaso ngayon lang ako nagkaruon ng lakas ng loob na mag-post.hehehe...yap, taga-Tarlac ako. Sa may Ligtasan kami likod lang ng Tarlac City Hall. Excited na talaga ako sa opening ng SM kasi naman tuwing may bibilhin ako kailangan ko pa pumunta ng SM Clark, wala kasi National Book Store dito sa Tarlac tapos yung Odyssey sa Metro Town Mall nagsara pa. Pati nga yung pamangkin kong babae pumupunta pa sa SM Clark para bumili ng sapatos dahil wala siya mabili dito na kasya sa kanya.

Nga pala, any updates sa Palarong Pambansa? Sana may mag-post ng pictures ng mga venues. Yung mga venues pala naka lista sa website ng provincial government of Tarlac. Just check it out!

I'm always taking pics of new development sa city natin. Gusto ko nga rin sana sa ibang towns ng province natin kaya lang di ko matyempuhan lagi kasing walang time.

Yung pics ng SM kinukuha ko bago ako bumalik ng Angeles for my work.

dustin,,,,,,, kung mabisita mo ung fan page ng SM CITY TARLAC sa Facebook.... pwede bang dagdagan mo ng pics.... para naman makita nila lalo na ung mga hindi pa nakikita ang SM... gagawin kitang admin dun... thanks...

Parang mas maganda yung dating logo. O di kaya naninibago lang tayong tngnan yang bagong logo? he he.

Buti naman may SM na, tama kayo mas complete ang mga stores sa SM. Importante yung National Bookstore lalo na sa mga students. Minsan ang hirap maghagilap ng mga books na required ng School.

Di kaya dagsain ng mga Tarlaquenos ang SM sa opening? Kasi sa amin sa Camiling noong bago raw ang Jollibee, ang dami pumupunta ng bayan he he.

Sana maglagay na sila ng Tarpaulin sa bawat bayan kung kelan ang opening ng SM Tarlac.

Ano kaya balita dyan sa Metrotown?

Sa Holy week pa ako uuwi, sad to say nga lang that time di pa open ang SM. Sana dyan na ako mag grogroceries.

Pakipicture na lang ang loob ng SM pag nag open and also yung mga Palarong Pambansa activities and venue. Thanks

wow ganda na ng sm tarlac. sa lahat ng mga nag post ng pics ( dustin and others) mula sa bakod palang :) hanggang eto na ilang tulog na lang at tapos na talaga..salamat sa mga updates...wish ko lang mas marami pang new developments sa tarlac city and sa buong tarlac province. katuwa din pala nung pinalabas sa trip na trip ang tarlac, as far as i remember this is the first time na napanuod ko na feature ang probinsya natin, it really gives joy to a lot tarlaquenos living abroad.

I can recommend Microtel at Luisita or La Maja Rica Hotel along the Mc. Arthur Hiway. There's also a strip of transient houses at San Isidro, Tarlac City. I just don't know the current rates. But im sure it's not pricey.

Last November we spent 3 nights at Bambinos Transient at San Isidro for 300 per night. The place is good.

Wish ko lang di magshortage ng matutuloyang place ang mga visitors nitong darating na Palaro. Sana may magpost dito ng mga place to stay in with contact numbers, lalo na yung mga may apartments na vacant. Kasi pag sa hotels may kamahalan.

Welcome po. Paki check po yung website ng Tarlac for the Palaro Venues. Ang swimming po ay located sa Tarlac Recreational Park San Juan De Valdez, San Jose Tarlac. May map po doon sa website pero wala po doon yung direction papunta sa TRP (main venue), north-western po sya ng Tarlac City proper.

Tarlac now insurgency-free
CAMP AQUINO, Tarlac City, March 23 (PNA) – The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) on Tuesday formally handed over the primary internal security responsibility to the local government unit as a declaration that the province is now insurgency-free.

The handover of the primary internal security responsibility was formalized with the signing of the memorandum of agreement (MOA) held at the provincial capitol grounds in Ma. Cristina Park, Macabulos Drive of this city.

The principal signatories to the joint declaration of an insurgency-free province and partnership in strengthening the internal security of Tarlac province were Governor Victor A. Yap, Major General Irineo C. Espino, Commander of 7th Infantry Division, Philippine Army and Chief Superintendent Arturo G. Cacdac Jr., Central Luzon acting regional police director.

Northern Luzon Command (Nolcom) Chief Lieutenant General Ricardo David Jr. affixed his signature as witness to the signing of MOA, together with Brigadier General Gominto Pirino (701st Infantry Brigade), Col. Jose Caparas Jr (3rd Mechanized Infantry Battalion), S/Supt Amador Corpuz (Tarlac PNP Provincial Office), Vice Governor Marcelino Aganon Jr., among others.

One of the highlights of the program was the symbolic hand-over of a bayanihan replica to Gov. Yap which symbolizes the Filipinos’ spirit of communal unity or effort to achieve a particular objective.

Governor Yap, in his message, said “we cannot truly end insurgency if there is no real and lasting development. There is no development either if there is no peace.”

Yap congratulated the AFP for establishing a clear direction for internal security.

He also lauded the PNP and civilian authorities for extending their all-out support

For his part, David said he was happy with the development as he noted that Tarlac is the fourth province to be declared insurgency-free since the onset of 2010.

The others are Quirino, Apayao and Aurora, all under the area of Nolcom’s jurisdiction

Handover was possible when the local terrorists’ threat to the province’s stability, peace and order, and development has already been significantly reduced and relegated to inconsequential level, which means that the prevailing security situation is within the capacity and function of law enforcement.

Apparently, Tarlac and the three other provinces satisfactorily met the criteria.

David said he is confident that the local government with able support from the PNP is capable of taking the lead role in aforementioned provinces when it comes to internal security.

He urged all agencies to work hand in hand in the preservation of peace and order within their communities.

He pointed out that the combined efforts of the AFP, PNP and local government units paved the way for the clearing of these provinces from the influence of the local terrorists.

He also attributed it to the "whole government approach" wherein particular attention was given on the root causes of insurgency.

He said pure military solution will not solve the problem. (PNA) http://www.pna.gov.ph/index.php?idn=2&sid=&nid=2&rid=265974

anung dialect ito? pwede po bang paki translate... sa mga nakakaintindi....

Busy siguro ah..? napapansin ko kasi dumadalang na ang visit mo dito. Dumadami na tayo...dati 2 lang tayo active ngayon parami na tayo.

Di ko lang maintindihan usapan nyo kaya di ako makahirit. he he. Anyway sana Tagalog na lang o English usapan nyo. I'm Ilocano kasi, remember northern Tarlac speak Ilocano dialect.

I think Im proud to be Tarlaqueno is a student of TSU Licinda Campus. Curious lang ako kung papano pumunta sa Lucinda Campus kasi parang malayo eto sa Highway magkano ang tricycle from Mc Arthur Highway saka walang route ng dyip papunta dun.

May listahan ba kayo ng mga tenants ng SM Tarlac?

Magtanong tayo kay THETHIRTYSIX connected yata sya sa SM. May list sa Wikipedia, di ko lang alam kung reliable.

OO wlang dyip na papuntang Lucinda Campus... mura lang siguro sa tricycle siguro di naman aabot ng 50 pesos.

Alam mo pinag-uusapan sa Metro Manila Mall Thread yung bagong SM logo, maraming di nagkagusto. Mas maganda nga yung dati.

Thanks for the info.

Wow, according to Wikipedia, may Mang Inasal ang bagong SM Tarlac, Gerry's Grill, Kenny Roger's, Starbucks at iba pa. Tapos Jolibee, McDonalds, Greenwich, Chowking at KFC.

Alam mo pinag-uusapan sa Metro Manila Mall Thread yung bagong SM logo, maraming di nagkagusto. Mas maganda nga yung dati.

at yun na nga ang bago kasi sa SM Clark ganun na rin sa mga posters at tarpaulins.

naninibago lang tayo sa bagong design ng logo dahil nasanay tayo sa lumang design....pag nagtagal masasanay na rin tau.

anung dialect ito? pwede po bang paki translate... sa mga nakakaintindi.... Pangasinan language, ginagamit parin sa ibang mga bayan tulad sa San Clemente at Camiling, meron rin pangasinan speakers sa Moncada at Paniqui.

Tagalog, Capangpangan, Ilocano, Pangasinan ang mga salita sa Tarlac - kaya tinatawag na melting pot of central luzon.

sorry kay Tarlaqueño ako.... kung hindi mo naiintindihan ang mga tinayp namin hehehe... i'm proud to say rin naman that i'm also an ilocano... my mom is form Paniqui kaya meju nakakapagsalita and nakakaintindi ako ng ilokano... d nga lang madalas... usually kasi kapampangan ang medium of language sa school o kaya sa bahay...

ung tanong niyo na walang sasakyan papuntang lucinda campus... meron.... actually school transport service siya... para rin siya puj... magbabayad ka ng seven kasi more thatn 4 kilometers iyon... makikita niyo yung terminal namin sa may harap ng kent lumber sa gilid ng tsu main... doon sa may nakabakod na orange... tabi ng building ng GSIS...

honestly speaking mas gusto ko yung dati.... yung walang bilog... na hugis itlog... hehehe... para kasing naseset aside yung SM tarlac kasi kakaiba sa alomost 38 na SM sa bansa... pero sa tingin ko sa umpisa lang to.... masasanay rin siguro tayo....

Danding and Gretchen build another beautiful church
(The Philippine Star) Updated March 21, 2010 12:00 AM

MANILA, Philippines - After their old parish church burned down 10 years ago, the people of Camiling town in Tarlac prayed that someday, they would again have a proper place of worship.

Time came when their efforts to raise funds enabled them to start building a new church, near the ruins of the old one. But spiraling costs and insufficient planning only brought their dream farther away from their grasp.

Until a contingent of parishioners, led by parish priest Fr. Macario S. Ramos Jr. decided to approach one of the province’s most famous sons — former ambassador and current San Miguel Corporation (SMC) chairman and chief executive officer Eduardo “Danding” Cojuangco Jr.

Cojuangco and his wife Gretchen have, after all, built and donated three churches in select parishes over the years: St. Rose Church in Paniqui, Tarlac; Queen of the Most Holy Rosary church in Miranda; and St. Michael the Archangel in Pontevedra, both in Negros.

“I have always been very grateful to the people of Camiling,” he relates. “They helped me in my career. The people are very nice, and I have friends here who have stayed friends through thick and thin. I owe the district a lot. So I said, sige, magtulungan tayo (let’s help each other).”

The plan was to build a new church this time on the ruins of the old one. The construction took 15 months before the Cojuangcos, the clergy, and the Camilenos finally dedicated the new Saint Michael the Archangel Parish Church of Camiling.

The edifice, an imposing 1,500-capacity colonial design, is now the pride and joy of the town.

With a total floor area of 2,200 square meters, the church features intricately designed stained glass windows depicting Jesus Christ, the Virgin Mary and angels. Its centerpiece is an ornate and elegant retablo in gold and deep brown.

The church is said to be the newer “twin” of another famous church that the Cojuangco couple built — the St. Michael the Archangel in Pontevedra, recognized as one of the most beautiful churches in the country.

During the church dedication attended by the whole town, Cojuangco thanked all those who were involved in the project, but conceded there was one person who deserved greater credit.

“I’m referring, of course, to my wife Gretchen. She has been the moving force behind this project and a frequent visitor to Camiling throughout the year-long construction process,” he said.

“Assisted every step of the way by engineer Romeo Palanca, Gretchen designed virtually every square meter of this church. From the tiles to the engraving of the altar, from the holy water stoup to the details in the stained-glass windows, everything bears her imprint. This is her handiwork and we are so very proud of what she has accomplished.”

Cojuangco said that he feels sad during his travels when he sees empty churches in Europe and the United States. “To see our church filled with to the rafters today makes me very happy.”

He is open to the idea of building more in the future. SMC, the conglomerate he chairs which is now diversifying to new industries, may also consider helping, he says, as part of its corporate social responsibility projects.

“When the opportunity rises, why not? It makes you feel good, trying to give back some of the blessings that you have received from above. Not everybody is given the opportunity to do such a thing and I consider myself very blessed because of the fact that I am able to contribute towards the construction of this church.”

Pangasinan language, ginagamit parin sa ibang mga bayan tulad sa San Clemente at Camiling, meron rin pangasinan speakers sa Moncada at Paniqui.

Tagalog, Capangpangan, Ilocano, Pangasinan ang mga salita sa Tarlac - kaya tinatawag na melting pot of central luzon.

I think it doesnt just apply sa central luzon but the whole of Luzon... differences/mixed cultures, dialects has given Tarlac Province the distinction of being the "melting pot of Luzon".

honestly speaking mas gusto ko yung dati.... yung walang bilog... na hugis itlog... hehehe... para kasing naseset aside yung SM tarlac kasi kakaiba sa alomost 38 na SM sa bansa... pero sa tingin ko sa umpisa lang to.... masasanay rin siguro tayo....

Not for long...marami namang in the pipeline na SM Malls na for sure yung bagong logo na ang gagamitin. I wonder lang bakit kaya nagpalit ng trademark logo ang SM to think na sikat pa naman sila... i think they are trying to experiment at cost cutting na rin siguro. Kasi mas mura yata yung bilog kesa dun sa customized na S at M letters.

What do you think?


NADAAN ka na ba ng gabi sa may SM City Tarlac... maganda yung signage nya pag gabi... ang ganda ng pagkaka illuminate.

BTW. iMPROUDTOBEtarlaqueno...bakit hindi mo i-edit ang location mo at lagyan mo ng user-title.
TARLACQUENO-AKO.... why don't you put yung location mo sa profile mo at user-title na rin
GREENICE....same thing also..

I think it doesnt just apply sa central luzon but the whole of Luzon... differences/mixed cultures, dialects has given Tarlac Province the distinction of being the "melting pot of Luzon". Central Luzon lang, wala naman significant population ng mga Cordillerans, Ibanags or Bicolanos sa Tarlac. If you say melting pot of Luzon or RP, Metro Manila na yun.

Hi! Magandang Gabi Tarlac City..!

Bakit po ganyan Logo ng Sm Nyo?Bagong Style..
Anyhow po Congratulations and Mabuhay ang thread nyo..:)

^^ Ganyan na siya @Domeng. I think all SM signages will be changed to that one.

huh?ganun?:uh:Mas Maganda parin yung dati.:)

Even in their advertisement in the newspaper for SM Department Store and Hypermarket, SM is already using that new logo. Although I think marami pang hindi aware na bago na ang logo ng SM kaya nagtataka sila pag nakikita nila ang signage ng SM City Tarlac. But personally, mas gusto ko yung old SM logo, mas classy ang dating compare sa bago with the circle. I wouldn't mind if they just put circle on the old SM logo than completely changing the famous S and M letters. Anyway, we have to get used to it...u

^^ The old one is timeless, just like Coca Cola's logo. The new one looks so outdated.

Guys, napansin ko nga pala na nagkaruon ng renovation ang Metro Town Mall. I think early this year ng irenovate nila ang interior ng mall. Pinalitan nila ng pure white ang tiles sa floor tapos yung ceiling din pinalitan. Ang ganda ng ilaw sa ceiling paiba-iba ng kulay. Right now, yung exterior naman ang ginagawa nila. Do you think it is wise to undergo a renovation with the impending opening of SM? If they want to compete with SM at least they have to wait and see first. I mean gumastos sila ng malaki sa renovation pagkatapos lilipat din pala ang mga tenants at customers nila sa SM, so what's the point right? Isa pa, I don't think they need a major renovation unlike Magic Star Mall.

Pinalitan nila ng pure white ang tiles sa floor tapos yung ceiling din pinalitan. Ang ganda ng ilaw sa ceiling paiba-iba ng kulay. Right now, yung exterior naman ang ginagawa nila. Do you think it is wise to undergo a renovation with the impending opening of SM? If they want to compete with SM at least they have to wait and see first. I mean gumastos sila ng malaki sa renovation pagkatapos lilipat din pala ang mga tenants at customers nila sa SM, so what's the point right? Isa pa, I don't think they need a major renovation unlike Magic Star Mall.

Ok na yun kesa naman po gumawa sila ng paraan kong nalulugi na talaga mall nila diba?parang yung Mall samin sa Naga. gumagawa sya ng kong anu anung promo at paraan para lang hindi sila tuluyan malugi.
Meron yang Libre sakay at meron silang ginawang Terminal para lang taohin parin mall nila.kong hindi ka kasi sasabay sa sm?or kong hindi ka didiskarte? talagang malulugi mall mo.:)

Actually, I forgot to mention that. Instead of renovation kasi why don't they concentrate on marketing. I think it's less expensive and proven effective. That is the most practical way to be competitive for me. They used to offer free ride pero wala na yata ngayon. And I believe they're doing some advertisement also. May mga nakikita kasi akong ad nila sa mga poste. I hope they can sustain their operations kapag bukas na ang SM. Mas gusto ko kasi ang mall na ito compare sa Magic Star. Well, lets just wait and see what would be the impact of SM to our local malls..u

Even in their advertisement in the newspaper for SM Department Store and Hypermarket, SM is already using that new logo. Although I think marami pang hindi aware na bago na ang logo ng SM kaya nagtataka sila pag nakikita nila ang signage ng SM City Tarlac. But personally, mas gusto ko yung old SM logo, mas classy ang dating compare sa bago with the circle. I wouldn't mind if they just put circle on the old SM logo than completely changing the famous S and M letters. Anyway, we have to get used to it...u

Majority still like the old SM logo pero masasanay din tayo. Lahat yata ng SM malls will eventually carry the new logo. Kahit dito sa SM Clark at Pampanga sa mga flyers at tarps nila yung bagong SM logo na ang dala. And I think kahit sa mga SM Malls sa Visayas.

So taga Tarlac ka pala. Welcome kabayan and happy SSC posting. AKo din naimpressed sa interior ng Metrotown. As in pagpasok ko nastruck ako...ang layo sa Magic Star. Ang ganda ng bagong color combination. At may Abenson pala sa Metro ayun nakabili tuloy ako ng electric fan.

Ask ko lang din... how true na SM Lucena is not doing well daw. Is there a truth to that rumor?

I think you can never compare naman Magic as well as Metro sa SM Mall. Parang David at Goliath yan. SM is a brand and very famous at that. Kaya nga diba nagtagal ang construction nya dahil maraming ayaw na maitayo ang SM Tarlac (specially among the business sector).

Yun ngang sa Urdaneta hindi natuloy dahil yata sa political factor. Buti sa atin may paninindigan ang mayor natin...kaya hayan may SM CITY TARLAC na.

Sana lagi kang magpost dito...kung may alam kang bagong development sa province at city natin...share mo dito sa amin. Ilan lang kasi tayong forumer na taga-Tarlac na active.

ang usap usapan kasi samin mas malaki na daw ang income na nakukuha ng Sm City Naga kaysa sa LUcena.
peru hindi ko yun sure.:)

guyz,,,, dumaan ako kanina sa SM..... and they are announcing that mag oopen ang SM CITY TARLAC sa April 30..... meju matagal-tagal pa....

ok lang yan!atleast makaka pag ipon kapa ng pang shopping..:lol::lol:

Hello everyone, I'm back again in Manila from my trip to my home province Tarlac.

Oo, nakita ko nga sa Tarpaulin nila April 30, 2010 pa ang opening ng SM Tarlac. Halos tapos na nga, tama may basement sya kasi nakita ko yung escalator sa may entrance pababa.

Di masyadong lively ang business sa may Mc Arthur highway noong Holy Thursday pero sa Tanedo street dami pa ring tao. I hope nitong Sunday, mapupuno na naman yung mga restaurant along Mc Arthur Highway like Luisita. Dumaan ako kanina doon, ang linis ng paligid, ang ganda ng ambience para kang nasa Greenbelt. Tapos maraming tao sa mga restaurants especially Max, Jollibee, Chowking, Mang Inasal, Mini Stop at Starbucks.

Sa Camiling naman, tapos na yung new Catholic Church, ang ganda. Saka yung Public Market na bago tapos na rin kaya lang di pa binubuksan. At may balita ako na nagcoconstruct daw sa Bgy. Cacamilingan ng Camiling branch ng USST College. So these are very good developments.

Guys, napansin ko nga pala na nagkaruon ng renovation ang Metro Town Mall. I think early this year ng irenovate nila ang interior ng mall. Pinalitan nila ng pure white ang tiles sa floor tapos yung ceiling din pinalitan. Ang ganda ng ilaw sa ceiling paiba-iba ng kulay. Right now, yung exterior naman ang ginagawa nila.

Isa pa, I don't think they need a major renovation unlike Magic Star Mall.

Sayang di ako pumasok sa Metrotown nung Thursday at nitong Saturday pagbalik ko ng Manila, sana nakita ko rin ang renovated interiors ng Mall.

Well siguro naman, may contract pa yung mga tenants nila for a certain period bago sila umalis o lumipat saka compared sa SM baka naman mas mura pa rin ang rental sa Metrotown. Kaya yung renovation nila, kasama na rin sa marketing strategy nila para yung mga tao, attracted pa ring pasukin ang mall.(Tingnan mo si Dustin, nakabili yuloy ng Electric Fan) he he. Saka nakita ko nga rin, may mga pa promo sila. Nice move yun para sa Metrotown.

Hi Cebuboi, click the link posted by Proud to be Tarlaqueno, the Palarong Pambansa 2010 venue was shown in the video. Ang laki pala ng TRP.

Ang ganda ng video, mukhang kaunti pa lang nakakaview.

Nangingiti ako sa mga pinakitang pagkain, ganun na ganun mga niluluto sa amin sa Camiling.:)

Thanks for the post Proud to be Tarlaqueno. It is very informative sana maraming maka view nito.

O nakabalik ka na pala. AKo di pa ako umuuwi sa Tarlac since holy week. Pero right now nasa Clark na ako.

Maganda talaga dyan sa may Robinson's Luisita. Kahit ako pag nagugutom at tyempong nasa Tarlac...dumadaan muna ako dyan sa may Dencio. Masarap yung sisig nila at yung crablets...


Any new photos of SM City Tarlac?:D

Pag-uwi ko sa Tarlac hayaan mo i'll try to take some shots of SM City Tarlac (day and night). Maybe sa wednesday.

^^ Thanks.:D

dati ko nang napanood yan..... ngayon ko lang pinost d2 sa thread natin... i hope it will help to promote our province in the coming days for the upcoming palaro... sa Sunday na to... so let's go TARLAC.

SM Supermarket Tarlac opens April 30.. hindi pala Hypermarket ang nasa Tarlac

May bagong commercial complex na itatayo sa may San Roque at sa may tapat ng TSU main campus.

Malapit na ding matapos ang tarlac city legislative building.:banana:

umuwi ako kanina then balik ulit ako ng 8 pm. may ilang shots ako ng SM. Bukas ko na lang i-post medyo pagod na ako eh.

Kumusta mga Cabalen? Malapit na ang election, pero sa ngayon wala pa akong ideya kung sino sino ang mga candidate for Governor vice gov and board members ng Tarlac province, first time voter kasi ako ngayon sa Tarlac, I transfer my voter's registration from Quezon City to LaPaz. any feedback?

Yap, malaki rin pala yung legislative building, 4-storey siya.

Saan itatayo yung commercial complex sa San Roque?yun kaya yung dating vacant lot sa halos katapat ng bagong SM kasi napansin ko parang nilinisan na.
Very prime na rin kasi yung location ng lot sayang kung di kaagad mautilize para gawing rental property, sa opinion ko lang.

Wow, ganda pala ng SM logo pag gabi. he he. Pasyal kami ng nephew ko dyan pag uwi ko sa May bago magpasukan. Hopefully may budget kami pang SM he he.

Paano pumunta ng SM Tarlac galing Manila?

Paano pumunta ng SM Tarlac galing Manila?

Sakay ka lang ng kahit anong bus either papuntang North or Western portion pero specifically Five Star, Victory, Genesis. Yung Five Star kasi at Victory, sa may SIESTA ang stop-over siguro mga 200 meters lang ang layo sa SM CITY TARLAC. Yung Genesis naman sa lampas ng Metrotown MC Arthur hi-way din. Philippine Rabbit din pala sure na dadaan sa SM CITY tarlac.

Kasi di ako sure sa ibang liner kasi baka ang exit nila sa SCTEX sa may part ng Lapaz so hindi sila dumaraan sa MC. Athur Hi-way.

Matanong ko lang, how come you know a lot about SM? Are you in any way part of the SM Group or its affiliates?

Nakaschedule na ako sa April 11 para sa Palarong Pambansa opening. Kasama ko yung buong family ko excited na din sila. At syempre ang walang kamatayang kodakan...para ma-ishare dito sa inyong lahat. :banana::banana::banana:

talagang updated ka Dustin hah.... bilib na talaga ako sau... hehehe

Mukhang masarap pumunta dyan sa water falls ng San Clemente Tarlac, parang Pagsanjan falls ng Laguna.

2 days na lang.... Palarong Pambansa na....!!!!!

Tarlac province all set to host 2010 Palaro


Preparations for Tarlac province’s hosting of the 2010 Palarong Pambansa are all in place as the youth games opens on Sunday, April 11, in the town of San Jose.

The Palarong Pambansa, an annual national scholastic competition by 17 regional athletic delegations – will be held from April 11 to 17.

The 15 competition venues – where 17 sports in the secondary level and 15 in the elementary class will be disputed – have all been completed.

"All the requirements have been put in place, especially the game venues and what I can say is that we the people of Tarlac are ready to hold the games, which the province will be hosting for the first time in the 53-year-history of the Palaro," said Tarloc Gov. Vic Yap

The newly-built Tarlac Recreational Park at barangay San Juan de Valdez in San Jose town – a sixth class municipality 11 kilometers east of the provincial capital Tarlac City – will be the main hub of competitions.

Organizers decided not to schedule games from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. to avoid athletes being exposed to extreme heat brought by the El Niño phenomenon. Sufficient water supply and additional electric fans will be provided to all venues and at the athletes village for the same purpose.

Except for archery and arnis – which will only be played in the high school division – sports to be disputed in both levels are athletics, badminton, baseball, basketball, boxing, chess, football, gymnastics (artistic and rhythmic), sepak takraw, softball, swimming, table tennis, taekwondo, tennis and volleyball.

Other playing venues are the Tarlac Plazuela in Tarlac City, the Victoria covered court in Victoria town, Sunrise Subdivision, Lapuz Coliseum, Bayanihan Institute, Provincial Capitol gym, Hacienda Luisita, Paniqui Court, San Sebastian Court, Diwa ng Tarlac Park, Nolcom Park, Don Bosco, San Isidro Covered Court, CLDH Covered Court, San Rafael Covered Court and the Ecumenical Christian College. – GMANews.TV

Preparations for Tarlac province’s hosting of the 2010 Palarong Pambansa are all in place as the youth games opens on Sunday, April 11, in the town of San Jose.

The Palarong Pambansa, an annual national scholastic competition by 17 regional athletic delegations – will be held from April 11 to 17.

The 15 competition venues – where 17 sports in the secondary level and 15 in the elementary class will be disputed – have all been completed.

"All the requirements have been put in place, especially the game venues and what I can say is that we the people of Tarlac are ready to hold the games, which the province will be hosting for the first time in the 53-year-history of the Palaro," said Tarloc Gov. Vic Yap

The newly-built Tarlac Recreational Park at barangay San Juan de Valdez in San Jose town – a sixth class municipality 11 kilometers east of the provincial capital Tarlac City – will be the main hub of competitions.

Organizers decided not to schedule games from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. to avoid athletes being exposed to extreme heat brought by the El Niño phenomenon. Sufficient water supply and additional electric fans will be provided to all venues and at the athletes village for the same purpose.

Except for archery and arnis – which will only be played in the high school division – sports to be disputed in both levels are athletics, badminton, baseball, basketball, boxing, chess, football, gymnastics (artistic and rhythmic), sepak takraw, softball, swimming, table tennis, taekwondo, tennis and volleyball.

Other playing venues are the Tarlac Plazuela in Tarlac City, the Victoria covered court in Victoria town, Sunrise Subdivision, Lapuz Coliseum, Bayanihan Institute, Provincial Capitol gym, Hacienda Luisita, Paniqui Court, San Sebastian Court, Diwa ng Tarlac Park, Nolcom Park, Don Bosco, San Isidro Covered Court, CLDH Covered Court, San Rafael Covered Court and the Ecumenical Christian College. – GMANews.TV

Hi proud to be Tarlaqueno. Punta ka ba sa opening ng Palaro?

Sa mga pupunta ng Tarlac City, it helps kung bibili kayo ng EZ Map ng Tarlac sa National Bookstore. Para di kayo maligaw. Ingat sa biyahe and welcome po sa Tarlac City and province.

Transportation dilemma hits CV

EVERYTHING seems to be smooth-sailing for the Central Visayas Regional Athletic Association delegation in the Palarong Pambansa in Tarlac except for the distance of the venues from the satellite billeting area of Region 7.

The 500-strong delegation is billeted in two venues—at the Don Bosco quarters located in the city and at the Paniqui South Central School, which is 37 kilometers away from the city.

“We were told beforehand that we would be billeted far but we did not realize how far it was until now,” said an athlete, who asked for anonymity.

“It is so far away, we have to travel for an hour before getting to our venues from the billeting area. Also, we need to make a reservation two days ahead before we can get a service vehicle, which is difficult especially if the games are ongoing and events are happening simultaneously,” the athlete said.

The bulk of the team is at Don Bosco but the lawn tennis, sipa, archery and chess squads are in Paniqui.

“The billeting is ok. It is spacious. In fact we’d rather stay here than in the other billeting because the latter is small, crowded and there are very few comfort rooms. Our only problem here is the transportation,” said the player.

The other day, they failed to participate in an event because they were not able to tell the coordinator that they needed transportation.

“We informed them the night before but we were too late,” said the athlete.

The athlete added they had to resort to renting a jeepney to take them to the city. They had to pay P400 for it from their allowances.

Meanwhile, Department of Education’s mobilization and special projects committee head Vivian Ginete said they would address the problem and might be assigning two vehicles in Paniqui for the athletes’ mobilization.

NM bets suffer difficulties in Tarlac

Friday, April 9, 2010

IT SEEMS that Tarlac province is not prepared at all as this year's host of the Palarong Pambansa.

Northern Mindanao coaches shared this sentiment after encountering various kind of difficulties upon the NMRAA team's arrival in Tarlac some two weeks ago.

The 2010 national students meet for the country's top elementary and secondary athletes will open on Monday (April 11) at the newly-constructed Tarlac Recreation Park in San Jose, Tarlac.

"Pag gabii wala nay tubig. Walay mga teachers nga ga-assist unlike in the Tacloban Palaro last year," texted badminton coach Eric Miguel who also criticized at how traders in the area are taking advantage of the situation.

"Tanan nga palaliton mahal. Even the rela fare has peaked at P30," Miguel told Sun.Star Cagayan de Oro Thursday.

Miguel further said how they were shocked upon learning that a badminton court is asking P250 per hour for a team practice, while another is offering P120 per head for one hour.

"Sobra ra kaayo ilang gibuhat. Dapat dili sila mosakay sa panahon," Miguel said.

The region's swimming team, meanwhile, has to travel outside Tarlac if only to look for a viable swimming pool for practice.

"We have no choice but to chip-in for rental fees among other expenses. It's a hard life over here," one swim parent, said.

Messy classrooms for the athletes' sleeping quarters that are lacking with comfort rooms had greeted earlier the NM bets who were also bothered by the abundance of mosquitoes at Tarlac National High School's annex building.

"Gawas ana, looy ang mga bata kay wala pa diha ang allowance wala na miy mga money dire," another Cagayan de Oro-based coach reported.

Meanwhile, Tarlac Palaro organizers are giving participants and officials a break from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. as a precaution against heat stroke which caused two deaths and more than a hundred cases of heat stroke in previous stagings of the games.

"We will no longer hold games from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. because it is usually the time when it's really hot," said DepEd's Palaro consultant Len Toledo.

The new rule will be implemented for the first time in the history of the annual multi-sports meet.

Two deaths and more than 300 cases of heat stroke were reported during the 2007 edition of the annual meet in Koronadal City, South Cotabato.

"We're not taking any chances," said Toledo. (With JV reports)

Agree ako dyan sana masolusyunan agad ang mga hinaing ng mga delegado.

Sana naman huag magsasamantala ang mga iba.Nakakalungkot talaga makabasa ng ganito tungkol sa ating probinsya.

Tingin ko kasi wrong timing ang hosting...kasi election season di gaanong focus ang mga organizers.

Tingin ko kasi wrong timing ang hosting...kasi election season di gaanong focus ang mga organizers.

Nasabi na rin yan ng nanay ko.... My mother is an employee of the Provincial Capitol of Tarlac (PGT) and according to her.... di pa raw talaga handa ang Tarlac to host this event... Marami pang kailangang asikasuhin to make this event possible and successful... And also Election era rin nga... naka focus ang mga pulitiko for their campaign like Gov. Yap who is seeking for his re-election.

Sports patron Manny V. Pangilinan, the Smart/PLDT top honcho, will lead the roster of guests in the 4 p.m. inaugural rites at the newly built Tarlac Recreational Park that serves as main venue of the multievent, weeklong competitions for elementary and high school athletes.

Trade and Industry Secretary Jesli Lapus, and Mona Valisno, who took over his former job as education secretary, will share centerstage with Pangilinan.

Organizers have made adjustments to prevent heat-related incidents, including stopping action in all outdoor events from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., according to chief coordinator Len Toledo.

Perennial overall champion National Capital Region is expected to stamp its class in the 17-region field with Western Visayas (Region 6) and Calabarzon (Region 4A) as its main rivals.

The Big City athletes will try to cash in on medal-rich swimming, athletics, taekwondo and the ball games (football, basketball, volleyball, baseball, softball, lawn tennis, table tennis and sepak takraw).

Also on tap are boxing, chess, gymnastics, archery and arnis. Dancesports is also in the schedule as a demonstration sport.

Overall, NCR ruled the field last year in Tacloban City with 588 points based on its showing in all events. West Visayas was second with 460, followed by Calabarzon (382), Central Visayas-Region 7 (215) and Cotabato-Region 12 (211).

“All the requirements have been put in place, especially the games venues. The people of Tarlac are ready to hold the games,’’ said Gov. Vic Yap.

Several events will be staged outside of the Tarlac Recreational Park

sinabi mo pa wala namang bago sa kalakaran sa gobyerno... :ohno:

Hi Dustin, sana maka-attend ka and also Proud to be Tarlaqueno. Aabangan ko na lang ang update dito sa Thread. Siguro ang dami ngayong tao dyan sa Tarlac City, kumusta naman ang traffic situation?

Di kaya nahirapang makapasok sa City proper at hanggang sa Tarlac Recreational Park ang mga visitors?

Nakapost sa facebook yung lahat ng venues ng Palaro. Grabe, ang daming comment doon sa swimming pool na may pa-curve.

May isang nagcomment di raw alam ng tricycle driver yung location ng TRP. Wala kayang mga signage directing the site?

Di ako nakapunta kasi wala akong sasakyan.... according to a reliable source... inopen ang Palaro ni President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo... magaganda daw ang performance ng region 2, 10, and 12.
