Thunderbird Resorts launches ‘Power 7 Wedding Suppliers’ book

In a pioneering effort to celebrate the wedding industry, Thunderbird Resorts worked with seven of the country’s most esteemed and in-demand wedding suppliers and showcased them in the book entitled Thunderbird Resorts presents: The Power 7 Wedding Suppliers.

These suppliers—who are nothing short of visionaries—represent the growing breed of creative individuals that are lending their own form of artistry into the industry. They are wedding coordinator Ernest Pascual, photographers Dino Lara and Oly Ruiz, bridal couturier Veluz Puno-Reyes, florist and event stylist Teddy Manuel, wedding stylist and caterer Kaye Cunanan, and wedding videographer Jason Magbanua.

Aside from showcasing how each supplier works, it also gives a glimpse of these suppliers’ personal lives: how they started, how they discovered their passion for their craft, how they overcame their struggles, and how they sojourned and succeeded in this industry.

“We decided to feature ‘The Power 7’ because they are artists who work hard to bring to life the vision that their clients have for one of the biggest days of their lives,” says Thunderbird Resorts country manager Fabio Moretti. “With these suppliers, weddings become personal expressions of the bride and groom’s personality, love story, and journey as a couple. That in itself is extraordinary.”

“Our resort is named after the mythical creature that is believed to cause excitement and change with the flapping of its wings,” adds Angel Sueiro, design and construction vice president. “In the same way, these suppliers are stirring the wind in their respective fields by blazing the trail and setting standards.”

The suppliers collaborated and brought their artistry to the resort’s properties in Poro Point, La Union and Binangonan, Rizal. The book contains anecdotes from each supplier on how they jointly conceptualized the themes and worked on creating a complete vision of a dream destination wedding befitting Thunderbird Resorts’ mantra to “create extraordinary experiences”.

Also sponsored by Themes & Motifs, the book will be launched at the Wedding Expo Philippines (19th Edition) on September 10, 2011 at the SMX Convention Center. It will be available at the Thunderbird Resorts booth.

Thunderbird Resorts is an international property developer of dynamic, themed, and integrated venues that are anchored by casinos. It is a provider of branded casino and hospitality services in Costa Rica, India, Nicaragua, Peru, and Philippines.

10-10-10: A Celebration for Mother Earth

Today, 10-10-10 marks a significant event for Mother Earth as people from around the world joined together in the fight against climate change.

As part of Thunderbird Resorts Efforts on Environmental Sustainability (T.R.E.E.S) and in one with 350.0rg in a celebration for Mother Earth, two clean up drives were held in the communities of Binangonan, Rizal and Poro Point, La Union.

Thunderbird Resorts Rizal spearheaded the Laguna de Bay Clean Up Drive participated by the local government, Thunderbird Resorts executives and employees lead by Mr. Raul Sueiro, vice president for Asian & European operations.

In Poro Point, La Union, employees gathered seaweeds and cleaned the beach shores. The Coastal Clean Up was in partnership with DENR, NEDA, Philippine Navy, the local government units (Brgy Poro and Brgy San Agustin), Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University and Caritas Manila.

Still in the works and is part of a developing plan, the collected seaweeds are being eyed as a source for a livelihood project.

Last year, also as a way of taking part in the cause of 350.org in fighting climate change, Thunderbird Resorts held a simultaneous tree planting activity in both of its properties in Rizal and La Union.

With these projects, Thunderbird Resorts continues to live by its thrust of helping its communities and the environment.

Discover Nature at Thunderbird Resorts

On June 5, Celebrate WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY

What’s World Environment Day?

The United Nations Environmental Program’s (UNEP) World Environment Day (WED) 2010 is aimed to be the biggest, most widely celebrated, global day for positive, environmental action.

Commemorated on 5 June since 1972, WED is one of the principal vehicles through which the UN stimulates worldwide awareness of the environment and encourages political attention and action.

Through WED, environmental issues are given a human face and enable people to realize not only their responsibility, but also their power to become agents for change in support of sustainable and equitable development.

WED is also a day for advocating partnerships among all stakeholders or perhaps, even more correctly, among all species living on this one planet and sharing a common future.

TOP 10 THINGS TO DO IN LA UNION

1. Surf’s Up!

La Union is known as the Surfing Capital of the North and is famous not just to the local surfers but even to the world surfing circuit. The beaches in San Juan are said to have some of the most perfect waves in the region. It is perfect for board surfing from November to February. Carlatan and Wallace in San Fernando are also good spots.

2. Dive Deep in Fagg Reef

If you prefer to dive rather than surf, then Fagg Reef is for you. It’s the most famous dive site in the area and marks the divide between the Lingayen Gulf and the South China Sea. The site is also known as The Tanks, after the three World War II tanks that were dropped off here, resulting in a wide and diverse marine life, perfect for scuba diving.

3. Visit Our Lady of Namacpacan

For Marian devotees, the Shrine of Our Lady of Namacpacan in the centuries-old church of St. Catherine in Luna is a site to behold. History gives importance to Our Lady because indigenous people claimed that she appeared as an old woman and offered them food and invited them to be baptized. Her image, which came from Spain through the galleons, reportedly performed miracles ever since she landed on the shores of Luna

4. Learn History at Museo de Iloko and Museo de La Union

Museo de La Union, which is in the Provincial Capitol in San Fernando, houses archaeological finds in La Union during the pre-Spanish period. On the other hand, Museo de Iloko is the old “presidencia” of Agoo houses artifacts and other pieces of cultural importance to the Ilocanos. Both museums are open to the public from Monday to Friday, from 8AM-5PM

5. Soak up nature in La Union Botanical Garden

The first of its kind in the Philippines, this is a 20-hectare scientific garden that’s the center of laboratory research in Northern Luzon. Showcases include the Sunken Garden, Medicinal Garden, Chinese Garden, Japanese Garden, and Fragrance Garden.

6. Breathe in history at the Pindangan Ruins

Pindangan was the original name of San Fernando and in the Ilocano dialect, literally means a place where meat is sun dried with salt for preservation. This was the place where the Spanish built the original church to start the evangelization of the locals. They transferred the church because of constant pirate raids and looting. Today, the ruins’ buttresses and walls are still standing. An old well which supplied the area with cool water through the centuries, can still be found at the side of the church. Made of corals and bricks, the enchanting well is still in good condition.

7. Taste the Culture of the Region Through Its Industries

Learn Pottery Making in Taboc, San Juan. Watch the age-old art of blanket weaving in Bangar. Have a taste of Basi, the Ilocano native wine in Lioac, Naguilian. You can learn much about a place’s culture by observing and understanding these industries

8. Salute the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers

Located at the intersection of Pennsylvania Avenue, Quezon Avenue and Diversion Road leading to Poro Point, the structure is a reminder of the noble deeds of the Filipino and US soldiers who died in the name of freedom.

9. Lose yourself in the San Francisco-Canaoay-Pagudpud Beach


Splendid white sand beaches that offer a spectacular sunset view adorn the San Fernado City’s coastline. It can be found in eleven of the coastal barangays of the city (and Thunderbird Resort Poro Point is part of that!)

10. Dream, Play and Live at Thunderbird Resorts Poro Point

Paradise is nestled on a scenic cliff, overlooking the white sand beach and the edge of a headland that dips into the South China Sea. Thunderbird Resorts is slowly becoming famous for the beauty of its Meditteranean-inspired architecture, the exquisite dining pleasure of Olive’s Restaurant, Vegas Café and Patio Santorini, the world-class 9 hole golf course of The Cliffs Golf and Beach Club, the world-class gaming facilities of Fiesta Casinos and the over-all extraordinary experience that guests can enjoy.
