Thank you for your blog. I have been at Sitio Remedios twice. Each stay was relaxing and my family had fun in the resort. We also appreciated the management and staff’s knowledge of the local culture. I think the strength of Sitio Remedios is that it takes genuine pride in Ilocano culture – from the Abel towels, the trips to local cloth makers, the personal tour guides to rummage for old ba-uls, and the fresh vegie and fish meals. The site of fishermen and their wives and children hauling their daily catch is unforgettable. I have also attended a mass at the Sitio chapel and it was one of the most solemn masses i have attended. I plan to go back to Sitio this year.

Thanks for your blogs about Ilocano foods. Where can I find an authentic Ilocano restaurants in MetroManila? Please give their locations (or addresses), so my family can go there in our vacation this December. Please email me about these Ilocano restaurants addresses in MetroManila. Thanks a lot, I will appreciate it.

Great place. I’ve been there twice, thanks to Doc Cuanang’s architect, Rex HofileÃ±a. Nakadinner pa ako, kulet! :-). Andami ko nakuhang pix, kaso after a week I lost my phone, asar. Ipost ko pa naman sana un sa site at frndstr ko. I appreciate Doc C and his team behind the development of Sitio Remedios, you can see their sincere effort to relive the golden days of Ilocandia culture. Not just the perfect place to relax, but to reminisce the past as well. hahaha tama ba grammar ko? :-)

That was great of the good doctor! Only a customer-oriented business owner would have reacted and made action that way…not just words. Hope to spend vacation in this place soon!

My family, we’re Sitio regulars. Each time we are there, we are asked for comments and suggestions. We note that they are not ignored, but addressed readily. The good doctor welcomes criticisms as this resort is a new venture very much different from his profession. A work in progress indeed, and one that includes hands-on training for everyone who is part of the project. But it is a project borne out of love for one’s heritage, one’s orientation of service and sharing of good things coming one’s way. Dr. Cuanang’s known dedication to excellence and professionalism will surely permeate the resort soon, if it hasn’t yet. His presence in Sitio when his work as hospital director permits, and therefore personal touch on such occasions is truly special treat for guests. Lucky are those who experience his personal hosting. I am sure many past guests will agree.
After reading Mr. Marketman’s piece, somehow I knew that Dr. Cuanang would react to it positively. All’s well that ends well.

To MM: It’s good to read about the responses of those establishments you review. It’s nice when they actually listen and do something about it.

To Dr. Cuanang: Hi sir! I was one of your students :-) It’s nice to see you online.

(Dr. Cuanang is actually one of the best neurologists in the country. I have attended his lectures way back in med school and he is a very supportive educator and mentor. His bedside manners should be emulated by young doctors. He is also a patron of the arts and support many artists. I think he still has two galleries, one in Antipolo and in Cubao (Boston Gallery, if I am not mistaken.))
