Zambales being only 3 hours away from Manila, Pundaquit however, is another 30 to 60 minutes away from the first city which is Olongapo. Traveling to Pundaquit is not as hard as it looks, compared to traveling towards the beaches South of Manila. The North has all the scenic roads and interesting people you’ll see along the way. That’s enough reason to make daytrippers and backpackers feel more relaxed, laid back and away from the rat race and hustle and bustle of Metro Manila.

TRAVELING VIA PRIVATE VEHICLE:
Coming from Manila, take the North Luzon Expressway or NLEX and take the San Fernando Exit then head southwest the road to Olongapo. Before you reach Olongapo town proper, there is a shortcut route that will take you inside Subic Base Metropolitan Authority or SBMA which you may want to take to bypass the traffic and a few winding roads pass Olongapo’s busy street.
As soon as you exit SBMA, head northwest and you will pass by the towns of Castillejos, San Marcelino and then the Town of San Antonio. Once you are in San Antonio, it’s advised to ask the locals for the way to Pundaquit as it’s a bit complicated having no street signs in the area. Locals will be glad to answer you for directions.
A fool proof way to ensure you won’t get lost, hire one of the many tricycle drivers to take you there on a convoy. If you made your reservations, mention the name of the resort beforehand so they know exactly where you are going.
TRAVELING VIA PUBLIC TRANSPORT:
The best and most advisable public transport at the moment is taking a bus to San Antonio Zambales and riding a tricycle to the town of Pundaquit. Victory Liner has their schedules posted on their website and there are currently 5 bus stations in Manila with everyday trip schedules towards Sta Cruz and Iba Zambales.
Go to one of the Victory Liner bus stations and get yourself a ticket to either a bus going to Iba Zambales or Sta Cruz Zambales. Both trips will pass by the town of San Antonio. If you are carrying lots of stuff like a sports bag or fishing gears, ask the conductor to have them deposited at the bus’ compartment and make sure you say you are going down at San Antonio Municipal Hall.
All conductors are well trained and are keen to remind you that the bus is nearing the town of San Antonio and you will be dropped off in front of the town proper near the public market. Tricycle are everywhere almost 24 hours a day. Most of the time, they will call your attention from every direction and ask you to take their vehicles for the ride. Just call the nearest one and say the resort you made reservations at and add Pundaquit (Poon-da-kit) and they’ll take you there for only P60 for every 2 passengers and an extra P30 for an extra head. Travel time is 10 to 15 minutes.

...My Microtel Inn & Suites in Cabanatuan has been a great experience for me as a hospitality student because the seminar and stay they had offered to us students had enhanced and build our knowledge on the different sides of the hospitality industry, but it also made a great part on our personal growth as a person and as a worker in the near future. The first seminar that was discussed is about the brief history of the hotel industry and how the Microtel Inn & Suites had started in the world of hotel industry. Mr. Joel Cucueco facilitated the first seminar and discussed on the achievements and milestones of Microtel Cabanatuan. The powerful words and little witty things Mr. Cucueco has said made the opening seminar active, not just because there is a Goya to anyone who will answer Mr. Cucueco’s question, but because the topic is very interesting to be taken for granted. The next topic is the housekeeping department and we are teached on how to make a bed. After  the demonstration of the bed making, we were challenged  that there will be a bed making competition in the morning, everyone was challenged to make-up the bed with the best they can.

Hrm Job Satisfaction

...JOB SATISFACTION, MANAGERIAL AND LEADERSHIP STYLES AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE MARKETABILITY OF THE HOTEL AND RESTAURANT ESTABLISHMENTS IN ZAMBALES --------- Presented by RODEL EBAL CHAPTER 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND INTRODUCTION Job satisfaction in staff/managers of hotels and restaurants should be of great concern to any organization. Hotel and Restaurant staff and management personnel hold the majority of positions in most hospitality-industry settings, and replacement of a licensed personnel is costly and time consuming. Many registered and/or accredited personnel in hotels and restaurant sectors had limited time but ample exposure to varying degrees of job satisfaction. What makes some so happy with their chosen profession, and others so unhappy? Aside from a change of career, is there a solution? With the current employee’s shortage, and the anticipation of worsening conditions, the researcher of this study set out to investigate the sources of dissatisfaction in the hotel and restaurant settings. Most medium-sized enterprises realize that their effectiveness depend on the utilization of their human resources. Employees’ levels of burnout, job satisfaction and job performance give an indication of the effectiveness of an enterprise. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between a dispositional variable (sense of coherence), burnout, job satisfaction and job performance. A once-off cross-sectional survey design was used...

Socio-cultural evaluation identifies the tourism potentials of these resource-assets with relevance to the environmental and cultural settings of the host communities. It also identifies the existing and perceived impacts of tourism to these socio-cultural assets and to devise appropriate mitigative measures and management plans to protect and better enhance cultural heritage for tourism development.

The primary step towards effective study habits is to face up to this reality. One need not feel guilty if one doesn’t look forward to studying.

These marks are made by DPWH, as a sign that they will cut these trees, because “because many people have died due to falling branches.” according to Antonio Molano, DPWH Central Luzon director. However, there are no official records that support his claims. Ironically, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, which should be the department that will defend the environment, is the one who submitted the tree-cutting plan to the Office of the President.       Anti-Trees   Not only in Mabalacat, but also in the City of San Fernando, Pampanga, where the present government planned to cut 576, which are in the side of the MacArthur Highway, from Brgy.

History of Philippine Cooperative

...History of Philippine Cooperative Based on available sources, notably the Cooperative Development Authority, tracing the history of Philippine cooperative movement would not be complete without mentioning the name of Dr. Jose P. Rizal who, in his travels to Europe in the latter part of the 19th century, was impressed with the success of a new economic movement which transformed the economic and social life of the Europeans. After his side trip to Sandakan, Borneo in 1892, Rizal requested Governor General Despujol to allow him to move with some relatives and friends to that place and establish therein a colony under the cooperative production and marketing plan of Robert Owen, who is acknowledged as the father of world cooperation. Instead, he was arrested for treason and banished to Dapitan, Zamboanga del Norte. In Dapitan, Rizal had his ideas in cooperation partially fulfilled. He put up a school for the poor community on a purely cooperative basis. He also established a cooperative store with the help of his pupils. One noteworthy group organized by Rizal was the La Sociedad de los Abacaleros (Society of Abaca Producers). This functioned for only one year. Rizal returned the members share capital without any loss. Another name worthy to mention is Teodoro Sandiko, who in his travels in Europe, must have had a close contact with the cooperative movement in Germany where he came across with the Raiffeisen movement.

...Stand Alone Enrollment, Student Records and Billing System THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTINGS This Chapter contains data that gives a general idea about the proposed system and its beneficiary; it explains the reason of choice of the institute and its background. This also explains what are the scope and limitation of the system, the different troubles that has been encountered with the use of the existing system/manual process and the subsequent solution that may arrive at the different stated objectives. 1.1 INTRODUCTION Nowadays, Enrollment System is really needed in every school. It records all the necessary information of the enrollee for future use. If the school needs to retrieve the data of their student, the encoder will just input a particular detail (such as Student Number) of the student in the system and all the required information will show. In an Enrollment, Student Records and Billing System, the school will be able to trace their students’ standings. The asked information to the student is inputted in the system like the payment, subjects, section, year level, etc and it will automatically be saved. If there is no enrollment system in a school, it may lead to chaos and troubles such as data disorganization, non-systematic flow of recording the student records and loss of data. It is definitely useful for a school to have a system to make the enrollment process much easy and consistent. The proponents’ purpose of creating an Enrollment, Student Records and...

On the Job Training

...Chapter 2 Review of Literature Foreign Literature * Your attitude in the workplace can be one of the most - if not the most - telling aspect of how others in the company look at you and feel about you as a co-worker stated by Mueller (2006). Your attitude therefore will definitely define you. Personality according to psychology is made up of the characteristic patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviours that make a person unique. In addition to this, personality arises from within the individual and remains fairly consistent throughout life. Experience and academic research has shown that an individual’s personality has a strong influence on how they work within an organization. One's image in the eyes of other people is important. If one is to represent a company and indeed one's self, an image of orderliness is vital, to win confidence. * According to Koontz (2007) many opportunities for development can be found on-the-job. Trainees can learn as they contribute to the aims of the enterprise. However, because this approach requires competent higher – level managers who can teach and coach trainees, there are limitations to do on-the-job training. Planned progression is a technique that gives managers a clear idea of their path of development. It may be perceived by trainees as a smooth path to the top, but it really is a step-by-step approach which requires that task to be done well at each level. Trainees learn about different enterprise functions by job rotations...

But, unfortunately, there are many poor families who cannot afford or provide for the education of their children. Some families can only afford to eat one meal a day and cannot send their children to school. Sometimes the parents encourage their children to work and earn for their living, so that they can have something to eat. But we cannot blame them, because sometimes it is better to have something to eat, than to have something to feed your mind.
