LAOAG CITY- Members of the Laoag City Press Corps experienced first-hand the new adventure spots offered here during the recently conducted media day celebration. | |||
According to Ramon Formantes, the city government’s public information officer, media members need to undergo the adventure themselves so that they could truthfully describe the experience. | |||
The media group was given a briefer and a moment to try out a fast-rising sports adventure, the sand boarding in the La Paz sand dunes. | |||
“It’s a new experience. The previous years, we would only conduct indoor parties. Now we get to experience and enjoy the beauty of Ilocos,” Formantes said. | |||
The group also enjoyed native dishes when they were treated to authentic Ilocano cuisine. | |||
Formantes said that it is also their way of promoting tourism by experiencing it and writing about it. | |||
