Looking For Cheap But Awesome Nature Adventure In Tarlac? Visit Tibagan, Tarlac City!

ADVERTISEMENT

It's Open and It's Free!

Blogged By: Era Nunag

Tibagan is one of the Barangay in Tarlac City. The Tibagan river is one of the hidden falls in Tarlac that other "Tarklakenyo didn't know or undiscovered.

The rise of low-cost carriers had made this world a lot smaller and interesting destinations closer. The distant islands north and south have become easily accessible to Philippines-dwellers, who are eager to escape the heat of the city to a paradise that can give them a relaxing and exciting affair with nature. (Or, in some cases, just an affair.) Flying is relatively cheap now. But with all the surcharges, taxes, terminal fees, and the cost of land or boat transfers, the trip that is opened at an airport can still be quite heavy on the pocket.

Tibagan  River may be just another River to many but it is the getting there that makes a visit an unforgettable experience.

There’s a thrill-seeking explorer in everyone just raring to come out. But for the lot of us with “normal” jobs, our days are usually spent behind a desk without having so much as a glimpse of the sun.

So when the long weekends and holidays come rolling around, the usual thing to do now is to book a flight away from the concrete jungle or to make a long drive to a place where nature is abundant. We then come back to the office feeling a bit more refreshed but also with an itch for another adventure.

Tibagan Mountain is a great place to start for wannabe mountaineers. The 811-meter climb is challenging enough to get your heart pumping, but not too difficult that you can’t make it all the way up. A tour guide isn’t even necessary for the trek because it’s a straightforward route.

Meet The First Ever Woman Who Celebrated Her 18th Birthday In MOA Arena

Her: "Mom i want pasabog na debut."
Her Mom: "Ipapa-MOA Arena natin yan!"


She's the first ever debutante to do so!

On a scale of one to "I'm the first debutante to celebrate my birthday at the MOA Arena," how did you spend your 18th birthday? We ask because we recently found out about 18-year-old Dian Serranilla's debut, which was held at the MOA Arena no less. We were so curious about what made her choose to spend it there that we got in touch with her to ask for more details.

Here's what went down at her 18th birthday:

Her debut was all about fashion.

"New York Fashion Week was the theme."

Dian and her family chose the venue based on the theme's specifications.

"MOA Arena was the top choice because the venue met all the specifications needed for the stage and everything else."



The MOA Arena wasn't exactly their first choice.

"The debut we were dreaming of needed a high ceiling and the other venues we were eyeing did not meet the specifications."

They did not fill up the entire arena with guests.

"More or less a thousand guests attended."

One of the reasons she had a grand celebration was to reconnect with everyone.

"We are a big family and we all had guests to invite. Since it is the last debut for my immediate family, we wanted to reconnect with everyone."

Dian and her guests got dolled up by MAC Cosmetics.

Thank you, @maccosmetics for dolling me and my guests up! The night would not be complete without you! @emerbuenaventura 😘

To say that Dian made a ~*grand*~ entrance is an understatement.

She wore an Albert Andrada for her opening number.

Thank you, tito @albertandrada for my opening outfit and 18 roses gown. You make me feel confidently beautiful, as always. 👸🏻

Her ball gown was by Ezra Santos.

Guests were entertained by different production numbers by Dian's family and friends.

One of the special moments of the night was when she got a puppy from her boyfriend.

My two favorites in the whole wide world 😍

Overall, Dian and her family were quite happy with how the event turned out. 

"It was very overwhelming but it is the debut we were all dreaming of. Words cannot suffice #DVSaDecadeAndEight. The debut exceeded all our expectations."


If you're wondering how they were able to pull off or afford such a big and grandiose event, it's because Dian's family's businesses include producing concerts (remember when Kanye was here?), among many other things. As for the expenses, let's just say they've worked so hard for it.
