Look! Department of Tourism’s Philippine Experience Caravan in Region 1 23 Mar 2024, 10:28 am

Eureka News | Look! Department of Tourism’s Philippine Experience Caravan in Region 1 | One of the Philippines’ most captivating and stunning regions is Ilocos. It’s a location where nature, culture, and history all combine to provide tourists with an exceptional and life-long experience. The region, which includes the provinces of Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, and Pangasinan, is located in the northwest of Luzon. This is why Department of Tourism launched Philippine Experience Program last March 19 to exhibit culture, heritage, and arts of Region 1. The municipality of Bacarra, which is well-known for its ancient Domeless Bell Tower, is the first of numerous stops in the Province of Ilocos Norte. Once the tallest structure in the area at fifty meters, the building withstood earthquakes and continued to stand as a testament to the Bacarran people’s tenacity in the face of many hardships. 

After the delectable breakfast at Bacarra, the delegates were taken by the Philippine Experience Program (PEP) caravan to see the Malacañang of the North, which was constructed as the late President Ferdinand E. Marcos’ official house. The grand two-story building that commands a breathtaking view of Paoay Lake is the perfect example of Ilocanos’ rich Hispanic architectural legacy.  Now reduced to a shadow of its former existence, the mansion functions as a historical museum. Visitors who would like to see the home may peruse its treasures while taking in the scenery of Paoay Lake, which the estate is situated next to. 

The most exciting aspect, though, was when participants in the Philippine Experience Program (PEP) were welcomed to Kusina Valentin in Paoay with a taste of some classic Ilocano foods, ‘with a twist.’ These included crispy dinuguan, bagnet kare-kare, and pinakbet pizza. Paoay Church may be reached via a short stroll from Kusina Valentin. Secretary Frasco later presented an Award of Appreciation to the Town of Paoay in recognition of the town’s gracious reception of the PEP caravan.

Following a tour of Ilocos Norte’s historical sites, the representatives of the Philippine Experience Program (PEP) journeyed for around 1.5 hours to arrive to Vigan City, located in Ilocos Sur. After making a brief visit at the renowned Luna Hotel, Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco and the PEP delegates were met by Mayor Jose “Bonito” Singson Jr. and other Vigan City authorities at the Vigan Museum.

Visitors may learn about the rich history and cultural legacy of Vigan City at the Vigan City Museum. Along with a home depot and a skills training center for productivity and livelihood, the Museum also contains the local library. The participants were transported from the hotel to the museum by a leisurely callesa ride that took them past the centuries-old history residences that line the cobblestone lanes of Vigan’s ancient heritage town.

Surrounded by rich cultural heritage, the local governments of Vigan City and Ilocos Sur Province honored Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco and the PEP delegates with an al fresco dinner in the middle of Calle Crisologo to cap off Day 1 of the Philippine Experience Program Ilocos Region. As the focal point of the Vigan Heritage City, Calle Crisologo, also called the Kamestizoan District, is recognized. A journey back in time to the Philippines’ colonial past is made possible by the ambiance, which is replete with ancestral mansions from the 18th and 19th centuries, complete with huge hardwood flooring, historic tile roofs, balustrades, and azoteas in a variety of Spanish, Mexican, and Chinese architectural styles. The UNESCO World Heritage List designation of this captivating historical and architectural landmark was made possible by its appeal.

Ilocos Sur Governor Jerry Singson greeted every PEP participant warmly during his welcome speech. “PEP is more than just an event; it’s a representation of our unity as we unite to present the finest that the Philippines has to offer. Together, we clear the path for a more promising future for travel to our nation,” Governor Singson remarked. During her keynote address, Secretary Frasco expressed her sincere appreciation for the PEP participants’ genuine hospitality from the provincial people and local government representatives.

“Philippine Tourism is a source of national pride for our country, that I confidently say that the heritage city of Vigan and the province of Ilocos Sur evince this national pride. For I can see that when tourism is a priority for the local government then everyone comes together to ensure that the destination is well preserved, livelihood continues to be provided to the people, and the heritage and culture of the place lives on in the youth,” the Chief of Tourism said, praising the genuine efforts of the Province and the City to raise the profile of tourism within local government.

Ready, Set, Road Trip! Free Scanning and Alignment Check Before You Go 29 Feb 2024, 9:25 am

Eureka News | Ready, Set, Road Trip! Free Scanning and Alignment Check Before You Go | As March unfolds, bringing with it the anticipation of Holy Week travels, it’s time to ensure our vehicles are not just ready, but in peak condition for the long drives ahead. At ValuePlus Auto Service, we understand the essence of preparation, which is why we’re excited to announce an exclusive offer that goes beyond the standard Preventive Maintenance Service (PMS). This month, when you bring your vehicle in for its PMS, you’ll receive not one, but two complimentary services designed to set the stage for a seamless journey: a comprehensive diagnostic scanning and a meticulous wheel alignment check.

Think of it as a health check-up for your car, one that ensures every part of its electronic system is communicating perfectly and functioning as intended. This preemptive measure is crucial, as it can reveal potential issues that aren’t visible to the naked eye but could lead to significant problems down the road.

Wheel Alignment: Ensuring a Smooth, Safe Drive

Next, we’ll perform a thorough wheel alignment check, ensuring your vehicle’s wheels are set to the optimal angles. This precision not only improves vehicle handling and safety but also contributes to more even tire wear, better fuel efficiency, and a smoother ride overall. Proper alignment is key to enjoying a hassle-free drive, reducing the risk of unexpected issues on the road, and ensuring you and your loved ones can focus on the journey ahead, not the condition of your vehicle.

Why Avail of Your PMS in March?

Our March offer is designed with the savvy traveler in mind. By availing of your PMS this month, you’re not just ticking off a task from your vehicle maintenance checklist; you’re investing in peace of mind. The complimentary diagnostic scanning and wheel alignment check are our way of adding value to your PMS, ensuring that when you set off on your Holy Week adventure, your vehicle is as ready as you are.

Le Meur Redefines Fresh, French Skin Science with a Bang this 2024! 17 Jan 2024, 8:54 am

Eureka News | Le Meur Redefines Fresh, French Skin Science with a Bang this 2024! | The new year calls for new beginnings. These new beginnings could mean a new set of resolutions, a new take on life, or even a new career. Whatever the year has in store for you, take the time out to pamper yourself at Le Meur Aesthetic Clinic. With Le Meur’s expertise in French beauty standards, you will be fresh, glowing and ready to face 2024.

Located in the heart of Quezon City, Le Meur Aesthetics Clinic’s European-style interiors showcase elegance and style, reflective of the luxury treatments that the clinic offers. From their lavish waiting areas and treatment rooms to their state-of-the-art machines and latest innovations in skin care, Le Meur boasts of services that are designed to give the best results possible to their clients. 

Le Meur has started 2024 with a big bang as it recently acquired Ultherapy, the gold standard and United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) cleared non-invasive procedure that lifts the neck, chin and brow and improves lines and wrinkles in the upper chest. 

“Through the ultrasound imaging with Ultherapy, energy is delivered precisely to the place where it will benefit our client most for natural-looking results that improve over time.” 

In addition to being non-invasive, Ultherapy produces natural results with minimal to no downtime. It is a single procedure that is safe and helps build collagen.

“Some clients see an initial effect right after their treatment. The real results, however, appear over two to three months as new collagen builds, gradually lifting and tightening the skin on the face and neck and smoothing the skin on the chest,” as mentioned by Le Meur team,  Rosette Thea Santos-Villegas, MD, MBA, In-House Physician, Ma. Geraldine Lanzar, Skin Specialist, Maricar Villareal, Senior Skin Specialist and Ghie Mae Faye Ongcal, Clinic Manager.

For clients who are not ready to undergo Ultherapy, can go for facial care and try Le Meur Youth 360 and Curestem Exosomes, both Le Meur’s best-selling treatments that are designed to give clients optimum skin care at competitive prices. The clinic also offers services that target very specific needs for skin and body care and rejuvenation. Some of these popular procedures include Exilis Ultra, Emsculpt Neo and Refrax Laser Pore. 

If you are planning to make this a bonding experience with your partner or friend, Le Meur Aesthetics offers a couple room. Clients may choose to enjoy a full French skin care experience and a wide array of other Le Meur services. These include facials, drips, scrubs, injectables and other advanced treatments for the face and body.

Le Meur also offers online clinic consultations with their in-house board-certified doctors. These reliable and efficient consultations help clients plan out a personalized program to address their concerns and goals. 

Since skin care is a commitment, Le Meur also has its own line of skin care products so clients can continue the Le Meur approach to skin care even when clients are not in the clinic. Their assortment of luxe acne gels, anti-aging sunscreens, face serums and facial cleansers are available in regular and travel sizes.

To cater to more clients, Le Meur Aesthetics is expanding to San Juan City. Watch out for their new clinic which is scheduled to open sometime in February 2024 in Greenhills Mall located at Greenhills, San Juan. The new clinic will definitely bring the French skin care experience to more Filipinos with its promise to affordability. 

Ready for your French luxury beauty experience? Visit Le Meur Aesthetics at Steelworld Tower, NS Amoranto corner Biak Na Bato, Quezon City. For more information visit their Instagram account https://www.instagram.com/lemeur.aesthetics/?hl=en

For appointments, you may  call 0917-639-6963 or 0917-160-5523.
