Youth for Change and Development (Y4CD)



It was a weekend like no other. We have been getting the young ones to be part of a relevant organization all throughout the province and we have been successful in doing it.

After days of getting new members in, we were able to gather more than a hundred of them to become minifacilitators for the bigger event ahead.

With the help of fellow United States Government Philippine Alumni Network (USG-PAN) members Mel and Matt, the Provincial Government of Pangasinan thru the Office of the Governor and Sanggunian Secretariat put up the Youth Empowerment Seminar Pangasinan last February 9-10, 2013 at the Capitol beachfront.

Attended by youths from various towns and cities, participants learned to dream for themselves, their families, community and their province.

They were taught on how to be responsible voters, be responsible citizens who know how to take care and love their province.

Governor Espino was also there to tell them that the Provincial Government is doung remarkable projects for the youth and for their children and children’s children.

Every attendee was very attentive to the story that the governor was telling them, carefully taking into account all the progressive happenings in Pangasinan as told by the leader.

In the end, they were energized, inspired and connected to each other, to their home province and to their culture and heritage.

It was fun and its just the beginning. More of this soon. The young generation will influence their community and change themselves for the better.

With their help, Pangasinan will surely be Number 1.

New Year Beauty Makeover Vibrante-style

I started the year 2013 right. With 2012 being rewarding for me and my family, starting the new year with a blast was just the right move. Armed with my plans for the entire year of personal branding and self improvement, a beauty makeover is in place. But where to have it done was the first question. We had a client that was very serious to penetrate the beauty business in the North and his salon is located in Dagupan. During our taping, I saw how he transformed ordinary faces into glam works of art. Our girls innate beauty were enhanced and emphasized and they all looked gorgeous in the hands of Marcel. Vibrante Salon by Marcel Mendoza is the place to go. I endured the first few days of New Year looking old and less vain. I waited for an appointment at his premiere salon. Vibrante’s services are not for everyone. He created his own niche. Marcel’s regular clients are high end. They belong to the A-list. Yes, he defined his own market. His prices are premium because his serv

Authentic local cuisines were served, heirloom recipes, the flavors of Cagayan was put to test.  Will the bloggers like it?

Each has its own characteristic, eac

This week in Politics and Digital

Wednesday was the start of the work week because of the long holidays declared by the National Government. As many people are spending their holidays somewhere else, many chose to stay at home due to bad weather. Upon return to my beloved province, there was a new project waiting for our team. The I love Pangasinan video, we were to gather video clips from interviewees of different people in Pangasinan. Next our proposed project for the Governor was approved by the Provincial Administrator. Sir Raffy , as he is fondly called is supportive of projects related to information technology. He knows that the society is going also with the digital shift. And an event to showcase all of those things like the Pangasinan Digital ICT Fair is ready to roll out. This event is scheduled on the second week of November at the Capitol Grounds. And then there are Bloopers along the way. Urdaneta refused to accept the tons of trash from Baguio City because allegedly the city can only accomodate 10 t
