Not far from the
cathedral is a well-known restaurant to both tourists and locals. It's just a
simple looking restaurant from the outside but let it not deceive you.
You'll be surprised when you get inside and see the homey ambiance.
To truly enjoy your visit
in Laoag & Paoay, you must at least, stay overnight. We have a car so
we decided to stay a night at the Northview Hotel. Their service is okay
though their rooms are kind of old. The air con at the first room had
stopped suddenly so we have to move to another room.
Patapat Viaduct is a coastal bridge connecting Ilocos Norte and Cagayan Valey Region. It's really amazing to see this snake-like bridge in between the ocean and the mountains. It's the 4th longest bridge in the country.
A framed letter written by the former President Ferdinand Marcos posted just outside the Mausoleum in Batac, Ilocos Norte.
Father of All Mankind,
We ask you to look down upon our people, and fill our hearts with your spirit, that we may have the grace and the wisdom to look into ourselves, and in so doing, see are weaknesses and our strengths.

This is the church of the former President Ferdinand Marcos’s birthplace. One of its priors wrote the "Relacion", retelling Diego Silang's rise against the Spaniards. The original church that was built in 1620 was damaged. It was reconstructed in 1690 and finished in 1692. The facade was just renovated recently.
Another reason I want to come back in Ilocos Norte is this church. Also known as Saint William Metropolitan Cathedral, is one of the biggest and oldest churches in the country. It is known for its Italian Renaissance design and its Sinking Bell Tower, which sinks into the ground at a rate of an inch a year.
Paoay Sand Dunes, also known as La Paz Sand Dunes, is a national geological monument expands from the boundary of Currimao and Paoay to La Paz in Laoag City. The scenery going to this place is not that pretty but when you get to see the sand dunes, you’ll be amazed. Sand dunes are built by either wind or water flow.
Formally called St. Augustine Catholic Parish Church is one of the oldest churches in the Philippines and inscribed in the UNESCO’s World Heritage list. The church was constructed in 1694 and finished in 1710.
Locally called dakkel danum, which means large body of water. It is a legendary lake because of the interesting and enchanting history passed upon by forefathers to present generations.
This beautiful house of two-story sits on a five-hectare property with a magnificent view of Paoay Lake. It has grand living rooms, seven bedrooms, and expansive terrace and a beautiful garden overlooking the lake. Malacanang is the official house of the Philippine President. It was called Malacanang of the North, because this was an official house of the former President Ferdinand Marcos during his time. An extravagant gift from Imelda Marcos to his husband on his 60th birthday.
Commonly knows as Bangui Windmills is also along the way going to Pagudpud. This is the first wind-generating farm in the Southeast Asia. This was built due to insufficient power provided by National Power Corporation. It's very ideal for the Philippines to install wind turbines because it's near the monsoon belt.
This centuries old 45m bell tower is the first thing you'll see when you arrive at Laoag’s town proper. This St. William Cathedral's bell tower is reputed to be the most solid, massive and tallest tower in the Philippines. The tower is so heavy and has sandy foundation thus the sinking.
Cape Bojeador is located at Burgos, Ilocos Norte and the first land sighted by vessels approaching Luzon from the northen ports of China and East Asis. It’s well known for its most visited lighthouse, the Burgos Lighthouse.
Originally know as San Miguel Church, this church is renowned as the largest church in the whole Ilocos Norte province. What interests me most of this church is the bell tower, standing proudly just beside the church. Unlike the other bell tower I've seen so far, this is the shortest one.
Also located at Burgos, Ilocos Norte, just a few minutes from the lighthouse is the Kapurpurawan Rock Formation. A beautiful yet delicate formation created by the forces of the ocean.
Also known as Metropolitan Cathedral is a must visit when you go to Vigan City. It was considered a major religious landmark not only in Northern Luzon but the county as well.
The original church was constructed in 1574. The church as it stands now was completed in 1800. This is truly one of the oldest churches in the country, although it looks new.
The first and original chapel was made of wood and thatch was built with the command of the Spanish founder of Vigan, Juan de Salcedo. The facade of the church does not look impressive compare to the other old churches in the province and the country. However, it said that the interior of the church is something to be admired.
I only saw this church when we had our Kalesa tour ride and took a couple of pictures. It's not included in the tour so you can just visit later on when you have extra time. I will definitely visit this church when I go back to Ilocos Sur.

Our next stop during the Calesa tour is the Syquia Building. An old house of the former Philippine President Elpidio Quirino, now converted into a museum. This two-story house is actually owned by the wife of President Quirino, Dona Alicia Syquia (Sy-Kia).
The old historic belfry of the church, known as the Bantay (To Guard) Tower, served as a watchtower for pirates back in the Spanish era. It's the first thing you'll see from the entrance of the Bantay Church, a perfect spot to watch for an attack.

Bantay Church, also known as St. Augustine Parish Church, is one of the popular tourist attractions in the province of Ilocos Sur. A visit in Vigan is not complete without seeing this church. Don't confuse this church to Paoay Church, though, since they have the same official name.
Travel Date:April 4-8, 2012
Not far from Syquia Mansions stands the Crisologo Museum, a museum built in memory of the former Ilocos Sur Congressman Floro S. Crisologo, who died a tragic death. The museum contains most of his and his family's memorabilia
