The largest city in Northern Luzon, Laoag is located in Ilocos Norte. The city's name was taken from the Ilocano word "light". The name originated from Spanish times as the closely packed village, that was situated in the north bank of the Laoag River, would shine like a beacon in the night for river travelers to see Laoag was a busy trading port where Chinese and Japanese traders came to do business even before the arrival of the Spanish. Spanish colonizers occupied it in 1580. Augustinian missionaries also established a parish dedicated to 'St. William the Hermit' in the same year led by Juan de Salceda. Modern day Laoag is now famous for being the old ancestral home province of former President Ferdinand Marcos

 

 

 

 

 

In pre-colonial times, Vigan was an important trading post for Chinese junk, trading gold beeswax and other products from the Central Cordilleras for exotic Asia goods. Many Chinese traders settled in the meztizo district, marrying locals and starting new bloodlines. Vigan was captured and settled by the Spaniards in 1572, and grew to become a centre of Spanish political and religious power in the north of Luzon. In 1758 Vigan Diocese became the seat of the of Nueva Segovia. Local legend has is that Vigan got its name from a simple communication breakdown. A Spaniard walking along the Meztizo river apparently met a local and asked which the city's name. Not understanding what he was being asked, but seeing that the Spaniard seemed to be pointing to a tree, replied "bigaa apo" (a giant Taro plant that was common in the area) It is from the word "Bigaa" that Vigan is said to have derived its name.

Pagudpud…. That according to the elders is a deep Ilocano word which means soft sandy soil "kuppuoy" a kadaratan. The residents are pure Ilocanos. There is still a few of the cultural minorities of the Apayao origin residing in remote sitios. However, they are already christened into the Christian religions. Their places are made accessible by feeder roads, bridging them closer to the civilized world, filling the gap of their uncivilized world. Bicolanos, Visayanos, Igorots and others who migrated here are indulged in logging and fishing activities.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Day 04

 

BREAKFAST. BURGOS ECOTOUR WITH SET LUNCH

 

 

Highlights:

 

 

  • Kaangrian Falls

  • Kapurpurawan Rock Formation

 

 

Kaangrian Falls is located in Barangay Paaya, a 5-kilometer drive from the National Highway to the head of the trail. From there is a 4-kilometer hike to the falls. The first 20 minutes of the trail is out in the open and quite hot, so remember to bring a hot. The locals bring their cattle, caribou horses and other animals to grace in these open fields. This treeless area provides a nice view of the surrounding hills, limestone outrcroppings and the area of the hike. When you settle down into the shade cover, you will be grateful for the coolness. Along the trail you can search for signs of hoof prints of small deer or identify many types of plant life, including many varieties of wild mushroom. The waterfalls at Caangrian are every where, creating a semi-circle of water cascading down multiple layers of rock. The beauty of the area was created by limestone deposits which have created hundreds of small sparkling pools around the base of the falls.

 

 

 

 

 

Kapurpurawan Rock Formation which means "white rock". After just one visit, this place will stand out in your mind as a natural wonder. It is a massive rock that juts out into a sea. From afar, it looks like as if someone has wiped off the top layer frosting and exposed the cake that lies beneath. Up close, it is a dazzling bright white rock that sparkles in the sun. Kapurpurawan is a showcase for the power of wind and water on rock and coral. Amazing!
