Any locally-owned businesses in Urbiztondo, San Juan, Elyu?

Recently moved to San Juan and I’ve met so many people and discovered so many places here. Just wondering, do you know any businesses in San Juan, particularly around Urbiztondo, that are owned by locals? Like born and raised in La Union.

I’ve noticed that a lot of businesses are owned by foreigners, investors, or people from outside the province, so I’d love to intentionally support more locally owned spots. Restaurants, cafes, souvenir shops, small businesses, anything really. Would love your recos! Thanks much!

Naka book na ako ng bus (Partas) back and forth to Manila pero instead of going back to manila sa tarlac sana ako dideretso, pwede ko ba sakyan yung originally booked ko na bus then pa drop off nalang ako sa any bus stop along the way to Tarlac? San ako pwede mag transfer ng bus to Tarlac po pag galing ng La union?

Lagi kasi ako sa LU for work. And in my last few visits lagi ko nakikita mga nagtitinda ng grapes. So nung Tuesday bumili ako.

Where do you get your water and how much is your water bill?

Hello! Ask ko lang po saan ang source ng water ninyo and how much po ang water bill ninyo per month? Naka deep well kami and may sariling pump pero parang ang gastos niya sa kuryente? So ang options ay:

  • magpalinya sa water district, or
  • bumili ng water tank para hindi laging nagpupump ng tubig

SJ PRO TIPS

As someone na mahilig gumimik sa SJ bigyan ko kayo ng tips sa mga gustong pumunta dito soon.

Uminom muna kayo sa places na mura like turtlebeach, store sa gilid gilid or (ang pinakadabest) bumili ng alak sa 711 then magdala ng camping chair at table at pumunta sa tabing dagat - nakasave ka na, nakalibre ka pa ng music. (madalas pumepwesto kami malapit sa little surf maid kasi may banda dun at sobrang lakas ng music, maririnig mo din talaga na parang nasa malapit ka lang)

Pag medyo amats na tsaka kayo pumunta sa target nyong bar like flotsam,hara, after hours, etc.

ang ideal time na pagpunta sa mga bar is 10pm. pero kung flotsam/hara ang pupuntahan nyo, 7pm palang pumila/pumunta na kayo kasi bandang 10pm puno na yan.

sobrang pricey ng alak sa SJ ngayon at kung gusto mong magenjoy na hindi masyadong nabubutasan ang bulsa, try niyo yan hahahha always naming ginagawa yan at so far sobrang saya naman ng experience.
