Behold Bataan: Pillars of Action Program – Tourism Statistics System Reaches the Municipality of Pilar

The Provincial Tourism Office of Bataan continued the roll-out of the Tourism Statistics System under the Behold Bataan: Pillars of Action Program, with its third implementation held on June 25, 2025, at the Conference Room of the Municipal Hall in Pilar, Bataan.
This third leg of the rollout gathered tourism stakeholders in Pilar for an orientation and walkthrough of the system, which aims to replace the traditional manual reporting process with a more streamlined and user-friendly digital platform.

One of the participants, Ms. Reideline Rivas of The Garden Galleries Boutique Hotel, shared her experience: “Mas pinadali talaga ng bagong system ang reporting. Dati po, araw-araw at gabi-gabi kaming nagbibilang ng dumadating na guests sa aming establishment gamit ang manual form. Ngayon, naka-system na, mas mabilis na ang proseso, kaya malaking ginhawa po ito sa amin.” We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Municipality of Pilar and the Municipal Tourism Office, headed by Ms. Jeneva Cruz, for their warm support and active participation in this meaningful initiative. Maraming salamat po at Mabuhay!
