A glimpse of Dasol

Rhea and I; Whenever we're having our vacation in Pangasinan, we try to visit new places that we have never been.
We've been already to Bolinao and Lingayen and last April 5, 2012, we went to Dasol.

My family is from Pangasinan, and I'm familiar with Dasol as a municipality only but not a summer destination.
I heard couple of years ago that Dasol has a nice beach then I said to myself. "hmm.. to see is to believe".

This year, we took the opportunity  to visit Dasol since we're having our summer vacation in Alaminos. It was 45mins to 1hr drive from Alaminos. I'm with my mom, Rhea and Kiel when we went there.

We really have no plans for swimming; we just went there to see the place for possible destination of our next summer outing. Luckily, Kiel pooed and we had to wash him to the beach. Hehehe




A glimpse of Dasol, hope to experience you soon.

Lingayen and Sindayen

"I shall return" The famous words of Lt. Gen. Douglas MacArthur when he was forced to leave the Philippines due to Japanese invasion.

Indeed, he returned. After two years, he fulfilled his promised and returned to Philippines.

Together with his forces they arrived and landed in Lingayen, Pangasinan.

The Americans were victorious by accepting the surrender of Japan and the rest is history.

I have described Lingayen as a modern day historical landmark. Beautiful and progressive municipality of Pangasinan that you can no longer notice that it played an important role in our history. Unlike Corregidor, you can't find structures or buildings that were damage during WWII. However, artifacts and photos were placed in a small museum type within the vicinity of Provincial Capitol.

Some relics from the war like tanks, planes and anti-aircraft cannons are still there as if war is not yet over. :)

Lingayen beach is also okay (clear and white sand), open to public (free), and it is clean (because cottages have enough distance to the shoreline).

Unfortunately, we hadn't chance to swim when we went there; only visit and took some pictures. :(

I guess this is not the last and definitely we shall return. :)
