Congratulations Patis Tesoro, on being named National Artist for Design! 🇵🇭
This also comes with a big thank you. Back in 2008, Tita Patis came to Pampanga and introduced us to Via del Sol. Our group later traveled south to experience it ourselves, and that trip inspired an idea.
I had always wanted to promote Pampanga’s rich culture, heritage, and food. I thought, if the South has Via del Sol, why can’t we create something similar for Pampanga?
That inspiration became Secrets of Pampanga Revealed, and eventually led to Outereater Tours.
Sharing some old photos bring back great memories. One from our trip to experience Via del Sol, and the group photo with fellow Pampanga tourism stakeholders at Alviz Farm, which would later become one of Outereater’s favorite venues for breakfasts, lunches, and special events.
Thank you for the inspiration, Tita Patis. Congratulations on this well-deserved honor!
