Visit Pagudpud Ilocos
2008-05-07 03:17:00 I have been in Pagudpud around 3x times already and I really enjoyed each trip. As a matter of fact a couple of people already asked me to give them travel tips for their upcoming vacation to Pagudpud and Ilocos Norte. Pagudpud is such a nice place for family vacation because of its white-sand beaches and crystal-blue water. Pagudpud is considered to be haven for tourists due to Maira-Ira Point with its secluded beach known as the Blue Lagoon. The place is accessible. Coconut trees line much of the town's coast. Indeed Batanes Islands are visible from Patapat National Park when it is clear day. Also from the town proper is Pasaleng Bay, which offers wide and pristine beaches backed by mountains with breathtaking waterfalls Kabigan and Mabaga, along with the many cool, refreshing springs waiting to be discovered within.

Ilocos Norte road trip: the destinations
2008-03-12 11:35:00 I don't know if I mentioned this before on my blog, so most of you may not know this but I have a thing for lighthouses. Back in 2002, an old friend of mine sent me a lighthouse calendar which I've kept because I love to look through the pictures every now and then. They are beacons yes, but also symbols of perseverance and self-sacrifice. But I think the attraction for me is it's connection to
Discovering the wonders of Ilocos Norte in the Philippines
2008-03-05 13:01:00 Ilocos Norte is more than white beaches and centuries-old churches. Old-time tourists used to say that when you’ve seen Pagudpud beach and Paoay Church, you’ve seen them all. Pagudpud beach, as all tourists probably know, is the home of the white sand beach which had been an all-time favorite spot of frolickers in the North. The ...

Vigan: The Old World Charm Of Ilocos
2007-05-31 03:04:00 by: John Grant Going to the province of Ilocos is like treading back in time. Not only for the Spanish colonial houses, but for the simple, laid-back feel of the towns and its people. In old times, Ilocandia has been described as a God-forsaken land because of its arid and difficult terrain. But the hardy people of ...
More great stopovers in Ilocos
2007-03-13 16:23:00 It was time for our drive down south to Baguio City. It was a leisurely drive from Pagudpud to Laoag since there were just a few vehicles on the road.We would have stopped by Bacarra to check out their church, a national cultural treasure, which is known for its gargantuan bell tower. But since we had a long list of churches to visit today, and since I been there already, we decided to skip it and head straight to San Nicolas, just a few kilometers from Laoag.But before that, we stopped over at the Museo Ilocos Norte so that Jiajin could take a look. At the same time, I needed to take a photo of it for the 2008 HCS Calendar which will feature examples of adaptive reuse. The museum, housed in what was formerly the Tabacalera Building, won the Gawad Alab ng Haraya for Outstanding Cultural Conservation Program (Adaptive Reuse) in 2002.The San Nicolas town proper has a good collection of colonial buildings including the church and convento, municipal hall and elementary school. We stopp...
