Revival of the Estero de Paco: A model for La Union's "Mabaho Beach"

As the managing director of Creative Alliance Services, which covers trainings and events production,  I typically visit potential venues for different types of events starting from Pangasinan, La Union, Baguio, Ilocos Sur , up to Ilocos Norte. The last place I scrutinized was the Ortega Sports Complex, which is located  few steps from what is popularly known since we were kids as "Mabaho Beach." This coastline area is where many families thrive in their shanties. From the name itself, I believe I don't need to explain more.
