The Beauty of Vintage

The Beauty of Vintage An Ilocos, PH Adventure

REGION 1

Referred to as the Ilocos Region mainly because it is home to a majority of Ilokanos and the seat of the Ilokano culture, heritage, and language. Ilocos means "people in the river", very much like the Tagalog's "taga-ilog" which reffered to the early settler's living along riverbanks. It is located on the Northwestern coast of Luzon island, it includes four provinces: Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, and Pangasinan.

Ilocos Sur

Abagatan nga Ilocos is a province located on the mouth of the Mestizo River. Ilocos Sur was founded by the Spanish conquistador, Juan de Salcedo in 1572.

BALUARTE ZOO

Baluarte Zoo Foundation Incorporated is a public zoo owned by Chavit Singson. The following are some of the pictures I've took.

Road that leads you to the Malacańang of the North.

MALACAÑANG OF THE NORTH

Few photos taken inside the Malacañang ti Amianan located in Paoay, Ilocos Norte. It is a presidential museum because it was the residence of the family of Ferdinand Marcos when he was still the president of the Philippines. This grand mansion was a gift from the first lady, Imelda Marcos to her husband's 60th birthday.

Relaxing view when you go to the balcony. Nice breeze and ambiance.

Well-preserved furnitures that contributed to a more historical look of the house.

Intricate interior design that really symbolizes how elegant Marcoses are.

BANGUI WINDMILLS

Another tourist attraction that is well-known in Ilocos Norte is this windmill farm found in Bangui Bay that faces South China Sea.

Windmills between the ocean to its left and a mountainous view on the right.

Brown sand shore on a crystal-clear water. A perfect place for recreation.

Close-up view of the giant windmill together with the "kubo" where tourists eat and have their siesta.

This is just a glimpse how beautiful Ilocos is. Explore and see for yourself! Carpe diem.
