Sand Dunes, Malacanang of the North,
00:20.5
amongst others, eto na nga,
00:21.9
Saud Beach, all of these places that
00:24.1
we know. Hindi pa natin
00:26.0
napagusapan yung mga eastern towns.
00:27.7
Hindi pa natin napagusapan yung mga
00:29.7
nasa bundok. I was explaining
00:31.9
on the way here to the secretary
00:33.9
that we have a town,
00:35.7
Adams, which is higher than Baguio.
00:38.4
And it is pristine.
00:43.7
river rafting, kayaking,
00:45.5
around there during the season.
00:49.8
maganda talaga masyadong Pilipinas.
00:52.1
Kahit isang katumingin, maganda.
00:54.1
Siguro yung mga city lang,
00:55.7
masyadong hindi kasing ganda.
00:58.0
But, once you leave the city,
00:59.7
you see the real Philippines,
01:01.8
there is no place in the Philippines
01:03.8
that's not beautiful. So,
01:06.2
yan ang puhuna natin.
01:07.9
Let's take full advantage of that.
01:11.5
planning to, here in Region 1,
01:14.2
planning to assess, to promote
01:15.7
the various dive destinations naman.
01:18.1
The provinces such as Pagodpud,
01:19.9
Badok, and Curibao.
01:21.5
And we could not have a better proponent
01:23.5
for that than our secretary
01:26.0
who comes from Cebu,
01:27.6
one of the best, if not,
01:31.1
destinations in the world.
01:34.3
And she herself is a diver.
01:36.0
So, she knows exactly how it's
01:37.8
supposed to work.
01:40.0
So, yan ang mayanang ipopromote
01:41.9
pa natin. So, we encourage
01:45.0
continued engagement of LGUs,
01:49.9
have also collaborated to
01:51.6
safeguard, to conserve our protected
01:53.8
areas. Particularly,
01:55.8
the Calvario Patapat Natural
01:57.9
Park. To preserve,
01:59.7
to honor, the cultural legacy
02:01.8
of Ilocos Norte, we are
02:03.8
currently developing the
02:05.5
Ilocos and Pangasinan Regional
02:07.9
Historical Trail.
02:10.0
As we anticipate the influx
02:11.9
of tourists in the area,
02:13.7
we are building more facilities
02:15.1
to accommodate more visitors here
02:17.5
in our province. We started
02:19.6
the construction of the Ilocos Norte
02:21.4
Transportation Hub in February
02:23.9
of this year. Once completed
02:27.7
we anticipate that the
02:29.3
intermodal terminal will
02:31.3
ease traffic control, connect
02:33.6
transportation modes seamlessly.
02:37.6
we are now pursuing the development
02:39.3
of the Luwag International Airport.
02:41.8
The expansion of its runway and
02:43.4
rehabilitation of the passenger terminal
02:45.3
building will allow the airport
02:47.4
to accommodate bigger aircraft and
02:49.3
bring in more tourists to this region.
02:51.7
We have released funds for the construction
02:53.7
of new bridges in the
02:55.4
Pansan Viaduct along Manila North Road.
02:58.1
We expect that this project
02:59.3
will provide protection to our people
03:00.9
traversing that road. All these projects
03:09.4
not only tourism,
03:10.9
but the broader development
03:13.1
of the countryside that follows
03:15.3
a strong tourism industry.
03:19.1
that these exciting developments
03:21.3
will become a springboard for further
03:23.1
success for tourism here in
03:25.1
Ilocos Norte and the Philippines
03:27.1
and from this moment on.
03:33.1
congratulations and gratitude to
03:35.1

03:37.1

energy that we are achieving
04:01.3
by working together
04:03.3
and working together
04:09.3
with a single destination in mind
04:11.3
for all that we are doing,
04:13.3
I believe that we will succeed.
04:15.3
We hope for that continued support
04:17.3
for all the tourism
04:19.3
programs across the archipelago.
04:25.3
only do Filipinos love
04:27.3
the Philippines, but we can tell
04:29.3
our foreign friends guaranteed
04:31.3
you will love the Philippines.
04:33.3
Let us work together
04:35.3
