Summer Escapade

Never a year our division fails to plan for summer getaway. We’ve been to Bataan, Hundred Islands, Bolinao, Puerto Galera and then this year, the group decided to go to the northernmost tip of Luzon in the Philippines. Yeah, we are heading north this summer-Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte. Everyone is excited and getting ready for the grueling trip.

Attention: Cacai, we are leaving this Friday night. Can you fly back by then coz we don't want you to miss this 3-day trip.

Going back, wanna know what makes Pagudpud a haven for tourists like us? Well, lemme share what’s in store for us – northern trippers.
