esprit de corps. Now that I’m based in Pangasinan, I’m fortunate enough to sample some of our best new culinary finds this side of the region, or at least reignited my love for some of them. Without further ado, I present to you the 4th District of Pangasinan’s top 15 culinary eats of 2021.

Exploring the province’s Tondaligan Beach will soon include the option of a long, scenic, and refreshing bike ride once a 1.2-kilometer bike lane along its shores gets finished.
Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Mark Villar on Wednesday, February 10, teased the public of with a pre-completion look of the bike lane by the beach.
Villar shared on his official Facebook account a picturesque drone shot of the bike lane dubbed as “the longest bike route in Pangasinan.”
The bike lane sits just meters away from the beach, allowing visitors to carry out a top-notch cardio workout while breathing in the clean breeze.
