San Fabian beach has been one of the most visited places in the early 70’s and 80’s until the late 90’s. Visitors from Isabela, Cagayan, Nueva Ecija, Nueva Viscaya, Tarlac, La Union, and Benguet usually flock the beach in May 1 or they call it “Pista ng Dagat”. The beauty of the beach is exceedingly great that the people who go to the Shrine of Our Lady of Manaoag are tempted not to visit San Fabian.
As of today, it is still a place of destination and relaxation.

LINOX Observer:
Mas maganda ang San Fabian Beach kung alisin ng lokal na pamahalaan ang mga maraming pinatayong sheds na parang kabuti na iskuwater shanties. Karamihan dito ay ang papangit tingnan at marurumi. Dapat ilayo nila mga sheds na ito sa mismong beach kasi karamihan doon na nakatira ang mga may-ari nito. Saan nila tinatapon ang kanilang mga basura at anong klasing kubeta ang ginagamit nila ? Mabuti pa nga ang mga beaches sa Dasol, Anda at Bolinao, balita namin pinagbabawal ng mga Mayors nila ang pagpapatayo ng napakaraming sheds
na hindi angkop sa lugar. Kaya nga hindi masyadong nagpupunta mga maraming dayong turista sa San Fabian Beach kasi takot sila na baka maholdap at mabugbog na lasing na karaniwang nag-iinuman sa mga sheds dito. Ano bang meron mga may-ari dito bakit ang lalakas nila sa munisipio ng San Fabian?

agree po ako sa commento ni linox. maganda at very historical ang san fabian beach, kaya lang walang gustong maglagay na matinong resorts kung nagkalat yong kanya-kanyang patayo na sheds malapit sa beach. kaya kung minsan mga “duming-tao” minsan makikita na tinatapon sa tabi-tabing basura.daming lasing sa gabi. noong nagpunta nga kami noong barkada ko, nakursunadahan dahil napagkamalan hindi nagbayad ng paninda sa mga “sari-sari store sheds.” Mga lasing kasi may-ari sa sheds at nagiinuman sila malapit sa beach.

May potential ang San Fabian Beach kung kasama sa programa ng mga nagwaging politiko sa eco-tourism project. Mas maganda nga ang lugar na ito kasi mas malapit kumpara sa “pinagmamalaking beaches ” ng iba lugar ng western pangasinan. Yong nga lang napag-iwanan dahil mukhang walang plano ang lokal na pamahalaan. Pag ginawa ninyong world class ang beach segurado na tambak ang turista dito at magkaroon ng marami pang trabaho na taga-rito. HIndi katulad ngayon na pinapabayaan lang kung sinu-sinong patayo na lalong nagpasira sa imahe ng magandang beach na ito. It is not yet too late kabaleyan. Ang nakita naming maganda pero exclusive na lugar para sa mga VIPs at guests ng may-ari ng Maalikaya . Alam na nang taga rito ang ibig kung sabihin,he-he-he-he…

OK sa amin ang San Fabian Beach maski ano ang sinasabi nang iba na hindi maganda. Sa aming mahihirap basta makapunta sa beach at makasinghot ng hanging dagat OK na kami. Lalong-lalo sa mga anak naming maliliit na may sipon.

We know that the owner of Maalikaya put up an exclusive house structure like a mansion with big court yard near the beach. I dont know if they are still using the house specially for big parties.Several decades ago, when Maalikaya SPA is still at its peak, whenever there was exclusive party, lahat ng dames diyan are wearing “nothing” as if they were in the garden of eve. You can’t see from the outside because of tall enclosures. From big time businessmen and generals up to the people in high places, nakikita nila lahat ng girls ay palakad-lakad sa garden na naked…These are the special girls, galing sa Maalikaya’s Presidential Suite, you know yong “special room” for big time payers.If you want to participate or enter that garden, you have to remove all your clothings just to cavort with them. Kaya nga ang tataas ng bakod which is more than 12-foot high. That the “open secret” pag nagtanong ka sa mga taga roon.

Now we know why that big house near the beach have very high walls and its hard to climb. If these babes really came from presidential suite of Maalikaya, wow, they look like the sexy supporting actresses. If Im not mistaken, for 2 hours massage for this class will cost you 8K ,wala pang tip and special add-on for more type of special service, eh?

Kaya nawala ang Maalikaya dahil pumasok ang Pegassus (pe”gastos” sabi ng friends kong mahilig)at Lexus…Teka nawala tayo sa topic ng San Fabian Beach…Dapat naman gawing first class ang beach para pakinabangan ng San Fabian people kung may nagsidatingan ng turista, hindi lang yong naka-jeep kundi naka-tourist buses para kumita ng dollares, aliwan sika met.

LINOX Observer: In the Philippine history during World War 2, San Fabian Beach going to Bonuan Beach ,up to Lingayen Beach were the places where the American allied forces landed to subdued the Japanese occupying forces.Lingayen was higlighted becaused of ruins at the back of provincial building. There you can see the bomb crater and post marked at the side of the building where diff. kinds of ammo exploded. We knew that San Fabian beach is considered a historical place, too. We do not know if there are markers that commemorate the significant of this beach. I was in Normandy few years ago with some veterans friends. We went to other beaches also and there are lots of historical markers.I was fascinated how the people in other countries gave importance to their history. Can we do this on this beach? Maybe it will remind our youth that this beach is a witness to those soldiers who gave their lives for this country in order to obtain its freedom. Their precious blood poured and mixed with the water that pounded the shore of San Fabian Beach.

I agree with your proposal Mr. Linox that we should have historical markers commemorating the events during WW 2. Aside from the landing of Gen.Macarthur’s American forces. This was the the landing point of Lt. General Homma, Commander of the Japanese Imperial Expeditionary Forces on December 24, 1941. Let us maintain the historical significant of this beach.

Tama na ang marker-marker na yan…enjoy the beach pare…Tanggalin mga shades na nipa huts dahil maraming nag-iinuman …Yang historical markers baka kakahuyin pa at ibebenta sa junkshop…
