I started the site around September 2006. I was thinking of starting a site that is similar with my former boss website. It was a community service site. I said to myself "hey, i can do it myself. Why not? There are no websites about La Union that time". So I started creating the lay outs, designs, photos and scripts.

The same month that year, I launched the website. It was a script-based site though I forgot what script was used back then. Of course Pinoy mentality, some of my friends doesn't even like to support the site. They were so negative thinkers. So I started constructing the contents all by myself.

I've been living in La Union since the day I was born and when is it? Its a top secret. :) I pretty know the things that is happening on La Union because I'm only few minutes away from the city.

My ultimate goal for the site is that it would be an informational website for tourists and vacationers.

I hope you enjoy the site as I love creating contents and posting contents. Hoping you visit
LA UNION PHILIPPINES SOON!
