IV. LEARNING ACTIVITIES

1. Choose one province within the region and convince us through writing to make that province
their next travel destination.
 Pangasinan
Pangasinan is a destination for tourists who wish to explore islands and beaches,
waterfalls, and feast on tasty local cuisine—all just 3-4 hours of drive from Manila.
Pangasinan translates to “place of salt” as it is a major producer of salt. In fact, two of
their main products are bagoong (shrimp paste) and alamang (krill) that give additional
flavor to dishes. Add Pangasinan to your bucket list if you're looking for a quick escape
from the city.

2. If you design a package tour for region, what kind of tours will you have and what sites and
attraction will you include.
 Pangasinan is home to many natural wonders, including caves, waterfalls, mountains,
hills, and, of course, its famous white sand beaches. The province’s coast is not only an
attraction but also a source of livelihood for those who farm salt from its rich salt beds.
In fact, the province’s name is derived from the word “panag-asinan,” which means
“where salt is made.” This doesn’t necessarily mean their food is salty though—two
famous dishes from the province are tupig and puto calasiao, two different kinds of
sweet rice cakes.

I visited the Kamay ni Hesus shrine and I am very thankful for that
wonderful experience. The Kamay ni Hesus Shrine located at exactly in Brgy.
Tinamnan, Lucban, Quezon, and a 2 nd class municipality in the province of Quezon,

especially every Holy Week to reflect, praise and give thanks to him. The place is

reflected on all the sacrifices of Jesus Christ to us.

REGION/PROVINCE CURRENT SLOGAN USED HIGHLIGHTS OF EACH SLOGAN

ILOCOS REGION “Home of the Citizen-Friendly
Policemen and Protector of Human
Rights"
ILOCOS NORTE The Best of Culture and Nature
Ilocos Region leads the way in
providing law enforcement and
public safety services nationwide and
from this humble beginning.
Ilocos is a bastion of heritage
preservation in the Philippines,
where visitors can enjoy Vigan, a well
preserved Spanish-Filipino village,
and a true showcase for Spanish
influence in the islands.
ILOCOS SUR Heritage Village of the Philippines Vigan known as heritage village is
unique for having preserved much of
its Hispanic colonial character,
particularly its grid street pattern and
historic urban lay out. Its significance
also lies on how the different
architectural influences are blended
to create a homogenous townscape.
LA UNION Pilgrimage Center of North Luzon It is a province with rich history that
is known for its ancient churches and
pilgrimage sites. In recent years, the
town of San Juan and the city of San
Fernando have gained popularity as a
surfing destination for beginners and
experienced surfers alike.
PANGASINAN Hundred islands and Hundred Flavors Taking from the extra and clearly
humble lifestyle of the Pangasinense,
with his dependence on the sea and
conduits and the land, bagoong

eating regimen. Mixed in with plain,
fresh vegetables like okra, squash,
and eggplant in a fortifying soup or as
a dive for fire seared catfish or
Bonuan Bangus (milkfish), bagoong
has become a typical sight during
dinner of most nuclear families.
