The Tourism Promotions Board (TPB) Philippines, in collaboration with the Department of Tourism (DOT) and the Provincial Tourism Office of Catanduanes, officially launched the “Isla Bisikleta - Happy Island Bikepacking Adventure” in Catanduanes from July 18-20, 2026, under the Philippine Cyclo-Tourism (PCT) Program.

PCT promotes the Philippines as a premier cycling and active tourism destination by transforming cycling routes into immersive travel experiences.

This curated cycling experience took the riders to discover Catanduanes on two wheels—from the heritage and history of Bato Church, Bato Bridge, and the Shrine of the Holy Cross, to the coastal beauty of Sacahon Beach, East Coast Beach Resort, Puraran Beach, and the scenic landscapes of Binurong Point, Happy Island Marker, and Tampad Beach. 🚴‍♀️🌊

TPB Domestic Promotions Department Sales Division Chief Cesar Villanueva, along with other stakeholders—Catanduanes Governor Patrick Alain Azanza and DOT Bicol Regional Director Herbie Aguas—welcomed the cyclists before leading the tour in their cycling loop. The launch was also joined by National Bicycle Organization Philippines President Mr. Benedict Camara and Starbike and Maru Bikes Chief Executive Officer Mr. Nico Lee.

In his speech, RD Aguas emphasized that the launch of the Isla Bisikleta Cyclo Tour Package reflects the commitment of DOT and TPB in promoting sustainable and experiential tourism.

The Tourism Promotions Board (TPB) Philippines’ historic ₱40,177,750.50 dividend remittance to the National Government stands as a testament to the agency’s transparent operations, strategic financial stewardship, and unwavering commitment to the public sector.

Recognized during GOCC Day 2026 at Malacañang Palace, TPB continues to champion the Philippines on the global stage, converting institutional milestones into real economic advantages for the country. This remittance represents a 154.88% surge from the previous year and 75% of our ₱53,570,334.00 net earnings for 2025, supporting the National Treasury’s vital public services and nationwide development.

By actively remitting a significant portion of its net earnings to the National Treasury, TPB demonstrates how a forward-looking GOCC can generate substantial public value, helping build a resilient economic foundation that indirectly fosters sustainable wealth and industry growth.

The award was presented by His Excellency President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., together with Executive Secretary Ralph G. Recto, Finance Secretary Frederick D. Go, and Governance Commission for GOCCs (GCG) Chairperson Atty. Marius P. Corpus.

Accepting the recognition on behalf of TPB Chief Operating Officer Maria Margarita Montemayor Nograles was Ms. Teresita D.
