Visiting Laoag

[Anti_Trust]

Our team had the pleasure of visiting your multi-awarded city in Februray of this year and absolutely stuned by the cleanliness and orderliness that you guys are putting up.

We were looking a place to branch out our small business based in Manila and decided that Laoag would be a good choice. We were actually there in February to spot for the best location for the business - you know, where the most traffic/pedestrian is on a given time.

We are looking forward to doing business there in Laoag City. Truly the sparkling gem of Ilocandia.

[Ridzik]

I know Honda Cars, Phils. sent some delegation in Laoag last February for the same purpose. I don't know what's up with the plans anymore, whether or not it will push through. Hopefully it will.

[Roldan]

Honda Cars - in Laoag? Wow!!!
Sapay koma ta ag-materialize daytoy nga plano da apo tapno saan tayon ton nga mapan diay La Union kada Urdaneta nga gumatang kadetay civic tayon. hehehe :lol:

[gr8-one]

Honda Cars, SM.... kanayonak siguro nga agbakasyonen (tagalog translation - palagi na siguro akong magbabakasyon)... :lol:

[CLONED]

Panagkunak, medyo narigat dayta Honda Cars ta adda met idiay La Union ken Urdanetan. Ngem ditay la ammo nga agpayso.
Gr8-one adu met ket dagitay rental car businesses ditoy ayan tayon. Uray to pay dita Bacarra add rental cars ditan isunga no agbakasyon ka adu iti maupaan.

[sadiri]

I[pabulod ko pay tay kuliglig ni tatang ko no awan masapulam, gr8-one. Kruduam la ketdi. Napintas ta customized didiay. :lol:

Joke Lang!!! :lol: Wen gayam, kumustaek man tay ex-gelpren ko dita 5 sisters, ladies' department. Kumustan Ilonah?

[TxnIlocano]

Anti-Trust what kind of business do u operate? I suggest putting up somewhere close to MMSU or the stadium.

[Roldan]

Ania ngata ngamin aya ti napintas nga business Laoag? Pwera tiang-gi. Tay adda paka-ibatogan ti P150,000. :lol:

[Windoc]

Padasek sa iti aglako iti INOL Oufitters?

[BB-M]

What's a good business?
Almost anything is "good" as long as it is legal and you know how to run the business.

If I had the money though, I'd put up a really "nice, top-of-the-line" disco or karaoke bars full of "never-before-seen" gimmicks.

[AoteaRoa]

How about a tourist related establishment/venture? Perhaps a chartered deluxe bus service going around the province?

[TCardona]

I know Honda Cars, Phils. sent some delegation in Laoag last February for the same purpose. I don't know what's up with the plans anymore, whether or not it will push through. Hopefully it will.
Any progress on this plan?

I'm interested in your business proposition.

To start with, maybe we should put up a "foundtion" to collect our resources to buy LIA. It doesn't matter how much anyone can chip in but this amount will determine how much share he/she eventually owns.

Let me know of any progress.

[BeefPapaitan]

Honda Cars, SM.... kanayonak siguro nga agbakasyonen (tagalog translation - palagi na siguro akong magbabakasyon)... :lol:

Sana naman, para me employment opportunity...kung ke great-one e bakasyon, in my case e permanent residence. I hope Laoag City further dev't will be pushed through.

[gr8-one]

Wala pa rin ba yung Honda Cars diyan?

[BeefPapaitan]

To the thread starter: Please invite several (or many) big business tycoon and tell them to invest in this wonderful city of Laoag to help the Ilocanos to have easy access on jobs (instead of going to Manila or abroad). Besides you enjoyed this city, isn't it great to be WITH the city that you like? ;)

Tama ba yung grammar ko? Man, Engrish is poultry este faulty again! :(

Invest in Laoag! :)

[BeefPapaitan]

I wish some businessmen put up businesses with focus on...

- IT, Eng'g, Commerce, Health Care, Education and Tourism

-not just SME's but biiiiiigggg businesses..kelan kaya mangyayari yun? :(

[BeefPapaitan]

Give me money and I'm gonna put my MAIN BRANCH in Laoag City. :)

[BenLopez]

I'll do the feasibility studies, BeefPapaitan :lol:

[BeefPapaitan]

It will be more imperative if you do the financing as well. :lol:

But it is my big dream to be with Laoaguenos and put my businesses there. mejo tinatawanan na nga ko ng mga relatives ko dito, e. Ok lang, pakialam ba nila, hehehe!

[Quite_Slurp]

So what kind of business will you be putting up?

[BeefPapaitan]

I wanna put up an internet cafe, a resto, a computer and celfone refair and retail store, and a resort. :)

[HardOne]

If you ever need a busboy, let me know. I plan to put up a service company there that caters to dry-cleaning, coffee distribution in the offices, and related services. They still don't have this so I'm sure it will be profitable. Your business, my business. :)

[BeefPapaitan]

Coffee distribution?!!

[BB-M]

Coffee distribution?!!Here in the states, there are companies that supply ready-to-drink coffee/mocha in the big offices. That is probably what HardOne meant, Beef Papaitan.

[CLONED]

Ober hir we can setel por da portabol kopi meker with kinirog nga bagas or kinirog nga mani :lol:

[Anakin Skywalker]

Hahaha, malagip ko lang ngarud idi ubingak pay kasta ti pagkape da tatang ken nanang. Ngem dakami nu kua idi ket daytay Segget :lol:

Permi nga kaaduan ni nanang ti danum diay lutuen na nga bagas saminto bantayan nga agkakabsat ket nu agbureken nakasagana dagitay tasa min nga makargaan iti segget :)

Uy, parang laundry service, hehehe!

[IronMaiden]

In a small business company where I work, we have our own coffee maker and whoever gets in the morning first gets to do the honor - of making the coffee that is :lol:

[BB-M]

That's how it is. That's how it's suppose to be :)
I use to have latte at Starbucks every morning for around $3 but it adds up. Now I only settle for the 7-11 variety :lol:

[Freddie]

hi

[TCardona]

99 cents still add up BBM :)
Mabay-bayag lang

[BeefPapaitan]

Will a pc/celfone store/repair shop survie in Laoag?

[BB-M]

Will a pc/celfone store/repair shop survie in Laoag?
I believe so, yes. I would also add that that kind of business will survive almost anywhere :lol:
Suggestion: include also cell phone gadgets/add-ons :)

[BeefPapaitan]

Oo naman, kasama pati accessories...

Magkano kaya ang starting capital ng ganun? Saka kita na rin?

[BB-M]

I'd say from about P0.25 to P0.5 Million you could get started plus advertising - you know, just to test the waters but I am sure it's a big hit. Even elementary shoolers have cell phones/pagers. Can you believe that?

You can't be wrong :)

[Boying]

helloo

[mila]

Is there anyone who can help me regarding timetables from Hongkong, China, Taiwan nor Singapore to Laoag International Airport. Please do forward me some information in my e-mail mcalmar@ofir.dk.

Thanks a lot,

[juVans]

nasay-say-at no inka yanta travel agency (kano)

[BeefPapaitan]

Me regular flights pa ba from Asean to Laoag? Kala ko puro charters lang kasi nga sa SARS?!!

[BB-M]

I believe those regular flights were resumed after the SARS was contained but now that SARS might be coming back - those flights may once again be cancelled.

[BenLopez]

Updated ngata met lang dagita nga schedules from Fort Ilocandia?

[schRindger]

hi. Im a student from University of Santo Tomas and we are planning to conduct our businness exposure trip at Ilocos Norte. I am just wondering if you can give me some sugestion on restaurants that offer Ilocano food at a reasonable price. thank you. :lol:

[wild105fm]

Hello Traveler...
Thanks for considering our humble province to visit...
I had my second degree at UST.. (masscom)
IF YOU ARE IN A BUDGET OR A BUDGET-CONSCIOUS TRAVELER,
I would advice you to go to "PALAZZO DE LAOAG HOTEL" in "Vintar Road", right in the heart of Laoag City.. They have a POOL, a night CLUB, and a KARAOKE BAR. Room per night is about P900.00 plus tax to P1,800 per night... They also have a Restaurant inside the hotel which has a good reputation among business organizations in laoag.. its called the Cafe' Teresa, specializing in ilocano cuisine, like Pinakbet, bagnet, Dinengdeng and among others... for dessert, try their special "marunggay" (malunggay) ice cream.. if you go there ask for "LOT-LOT LAURETA" shes the S&M manager, a good friend of mine.. Tell her Michael Jay of Wild 105.5 fm in Maui sent you... (pseudo air name)..She will definitely give you a discount.. you can call Lot-Lot at this #: (77) 773-1842 or 773-1848
If you feel like going out for a walk in the city and rather not go back to the hotel to have your meal, i suggest you go to "La Preciosa Restaurant.. Its Located at the West End of "Rizal St.".. You can either take a "trike" (tricycle ride) or a "kalesa" to the place... just tell them where you want to go.... Laoag is a small city so you dont need to give them directions...
If you will be travelling OUTSIDE Laoag City, The best place to visit is the world famous "PAGUDPUD"... Its about an hour to hour and a half drive... If you dont have a ride of your own, you can either take the BUSES that travels to "CLAVERIA, CAGAYAN" or to "PAGUDPUD".. They have Air condition busses also, so you might wanna take that... if you have your own ride, you may wanna stop at "CAPE BOJIDOR" or as known as the "LIGHT TOWER" in the town of Burgos. Burgus is the town after PASUQUIN, you will see the light tower on your right hand side of the road.. This is known to be the tallest light tower in the Philippines so this is a must see.. When in PAGUDPUD, there are alot of RESORTS to consider... i can not tell you exactly where to go to but all of them are nice... If you want to save money, just ask LOT-LOT LAURETA to arrange a TOUR for you... That includes everything... She might be also available to show you guys around...The best way to go Pagudpud is to just bring your OWN FOOD and just have a Picnic at the beach....
if you wanna go south bound, Dont forget to visit the BATAC, the birth place of MARCOS... Then on to PAOAY for the Famous, WORLD FAMOUS PAOAY CHURCH... Continue your trip south bound to a town called "CURRIMAO"... When in Currimao, Check out D'CORAL BEACH RESORT... They also have a local restaurant if you feel like eating seafoods... Ask for Mrs. AVELINA QUILALA... She's the owner of the resort... Tell her Mr. Alan Bagasao Valenzuela sent you there... The place is ussually packed so its best to let them know that you know or someone they know sent you there..If she's not there, ask for ATE MIDA (mayda) or if not you can also go to "NIPA BEACH REASORT"... This is an exclusive resort hotel so you may want to make or call for an appointment first.. Or you could either go to SUBLI-SUBLI beach resort.(means keeps on coming back).. ASK for Mr. Willy Rasay... He is the ONLY authorized proffesional instructor/scuba diver in the province if you want to snorkel...

THERE IS A 5 STAR HOTEL IN ILOCOS NORTE, "THE FORT ILOCANDIA RESORT HOTEL" WHICH RANGES FROM P2,000 TO P5,000 A NIGHT...
They have all the amenities you want but its costly though..

email me at : michaeljay@radio411.com if you want more details or facts about Laoag City and Ilocos Norte... I'll Gladly help make your trip to Ilocos a memorable one...

Alan "Michael Jay" Valenzuela

excuse any typo... if any..

At the "home" page, scroll down to right about the middle of the page you will see a column with the heading that says: Going Ilocos?
Click the image right below it and a new browser window should pop out. There's a section in there that lists some well-known restaurants around Ilocos Norte and Laoag.
Not sure if the telephone numbers are updated though. Good Luck!
