Top 25 ILOCOS NORTE Tourist Spots PART 1: Laoag, Paoay, Badoc, Batac, Etc.) • The Poor Traveler
Isa ang #IlocosNorte sa mga una naming nabisita together as travel bloggers, kaya naman espesyal talaga sa amin ito. Noong unang punta namin dito, by land kami noon and talagang mahigit 9 hours ang ininda namin sa kalsada. Mas mabilis talaga kapag ililipad mo na lang. Thankfully, may commercial airport dito sa capital city, ang Laoag International Airport (LAO), and may daily flights papunta dito ang Cebu Pacific
Sobrang diverse din ng mga pasyalan dito sa Ilocos Norte. Kaya naman hahatiin natin ang video into 2 parts. In this episode, focus lang tayo sa bottom half ng probinsya – mula #Laoag hanggang sa mga bayan sa south nito:
- Paoay Church (San Agustin Church)
- Suba Sand Dunes ( #Paoay Sand Dunes)
- La Paz Sand Dunes
- Kusina Valentin Restaurant
- La Virgen Milagrosa de Badoc
- Museo nina Juan Luna and Antonio Luna
- Tan-Ok Festival
- Sitio Remedios Heritage Resort
- Solsona View Deck
- Pinili Inabel Center
- Nagbacalan Village Loomweavers
- Ilocos Food Trip
- #Batac Empanada
Sa next video naman yung sa north end!
Ready ka na bang mag-Ilocos Norte? Mas mabilis kung mag-fly ka na lang with Cebu Pacific. Mas mura if makakakuha ka ng promo fares kapag may seat sale. Check mo lang 'tong post namin about Cebu Pacific Seat Sale here:

Malico View Point Cold Climate Tourist Attraction | San Nicolas Pangasinan via Nueva Viscaya Road
Newest top tourist destination in Pangasinan located at San Nicolas Pangasinan. In this video i'll share a brief documentaries and facts about Malico View Point.
Malico is the farthest and remotest barangay of the municipality being 40kms. away from the town proper and adjoins our provincial boundary with the province of Nueva Vizcaya. In fact, it is nearer to Imugan, Nueva Vizcaya, being only 13 kilometers away. It is bounded on the north by Kayapa, Nueva Vizcaya; on the south by BarangayCacabugaoan; on the east by Imugan, Nueva Vizcaya; and on the west by Barangay Sta. Maria East and Fianza.
It has approximate land area of 710 hectares with pasture lands covering the biggest area of land, followed by cogon land. The irrigated land is the third biggest area. The residential land covers the least land area classification. Malico produces mountain crops like sweet potato, gabi and vegetables such as cabbage, sayote, Baguio beans, petchay and carrots. The high elevation, cold climate and fertile soil make Malico an ideal place for vegetable production like Benguet. According to old folks, Malico derived its name from the winding flow of the Cabalisian River which originated from Malico and winds down the mountain connecting with the Ambayoan River in Barangay Sta. Maria East. As could be seen from a vantage point in the barangay, you could see the zigzagging flow of the said river or “liko-liko” and was later called Malico.

Ilocos Norte Loop: Laoag-Sarrat-Solsona-Dingras-San Nicolas
Ilocos Norte Loop covers the following towns & city:
• Laoag City:
One of the richest cities in the country in terms of per capita income and the Human Development Index. Strategically located at the northern tip of the Northwestern Luzon Growth Quadrangle.
Tourism has become a major economic driver of Laoag City, paving the way for new commercial investments and infrastructure development. A recent surge in Chinese and Taiwanese tourists have been flocking to splurge in the city's profitable casino located inside the only 5-star hotel in northern Philippines: Fort Ilocandia Hotel and Resort.
Other places of interest include a tour of heritage sites featuring Spanish colonial buildings, baroque churches, La Paz Sand Dunes, white-sand beach resorts of Pagudpud, and Marcos-era mansions.
• Sarrat:
The town is known as the birthplace of Ferdinand Marcos, the 10th President of the Philippines and for Sarrat Church, the largest church in the province and with the longest nave in the country and an Important Cultural Property of the Philippines.
The Santa Monica Parish Church, commonly known as the Sarrat Church, is the largest church in Ilocos Norte and the most visited place by tourists in Sarrat. The church has one of the longest nave in the country and was declared an Important Cultural Property of the Philippines in September 2009.
• Piddig:
The town is known for its role in the Basi Revolt, led by Pedro Mateo, a native of Piddig. Today, Piddig is known for its basi and for their sariwagwag, a dish made out of gabi leaves with fresh shrimps that are freshly gathered from their rich river.
Piddig's terrain is hilly with rice plains interspersed in between. It sits at a higher elevation than most of the towns in Ilocos Norte. It is a great place for a day hike, if one does not mind traversing through rivers, forests, and fields. The municipio (town hall) is located on top of a hill offering panoramic views of fields and mountains.
• Solsona is a 3rd class municipality in the province of Ilocos Norte, Philippines.
• Dingras:
The following is the List of Cultural Properties of Dingras:
o Versoza House Ruins
o Silvino Madamba House
o Taylan House
o Albano House
o St. Joseph Educational Center of Dingras (Built in the 1940s-1950s; formerly the parish church of Dingras)
o St. Joseph Parish Church of Dingras
o Boy Scouts Monument
o St. Joseph Institute of Dingras Building
o Puruganan Ancestral House (Currently used as Community Rural Bank of Dingras, with NHCP historical marker)
o Josefa Llanes Escoda Monument (House where Josefa Llanes Escoda was born)
o Dingras Cemetery
o Tabacalera de Dingras
• San Nicolas:
Pottery making is the main trademark of San Nicolas. It was introduced by the Spaniards mainly in Brgy. 8, and they called it Alfareria, meaning Art of Pottery. Other traditional crafts include the making of Tagapulot, Lapida, Chicharon and Longganisa. The town also has a large rice field.

PAOAY Kumakaway | Ilocos Norte Tourist Spots & Destinations [Travel & Tourism Philippines]
Paoay Town Ilocos Norte Philippines: Virtual Tour - Travel destinations, famous tourist spots and attractions, culture, hostory and heritage churches. From the home of the famous UNESCO World Herigate Site of Saint Augustine Church, Paoay is truly Kumakaway! Be mesmerized with its scenic attractions and breath-taking adventures. Things to Do in Paoay, Top Attractions in Paoay: St Augustine's Church or Paoay Church, one of the most popular tourist attractions in the town. Suba Sand Dunes: Ilocos is home to two sand dunes; one is located in Laoag while the other is located in Paoay. The Suba Sand Dunes are considered to be the safest in the country, in addition to being the widest and longest. Visitors can take in the one of a kind views of rolling sands as they explore as much of this area as they can on a 4-wheel drive all-terrain vehicle. Malacañang of the North: Paoay is home to one of the country’s most controversial presidents, President Ferdinand Marcos; and the Malacañang of the North was his summer and home town residence. Overlooking Paoay Lake, this grand palace is now open to visitors and still retains its aura of elegance with its old but impressive furniture and grandiose chandeliers in each and every room. Paoay Lake: Paoay Lake is the largest lake in Ilocos Norte and is one of the largest natural lakes in the region. The Lake was actually formed after a tragic series of natural events. The land on which the lake sits was once a town. However, the occurrence of a strong earthquake and typhoon, both on the very same day forced the land to give way to the formation of the lake.
#PaoayKumakaway Join Miss Paoay, Mary Majesty Anne Gonong Cruz, in celebrating our home, Ilocos Norte! Ms. Ilocos Norte 2021. Paoay, officially the Municipality of Paoay (Ilocano: Ili ti Paoay; Filipino: Bayan ng Paoay), is a 4th class municipality in the province of Ilocos Norte, Philippines. The town is home to the Paoay Church, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Paoay is politically subdivided into 31 barangays: Bacsil, Cabagoan, Cabangaran, Callaguip, Cayubog, Dolores, Laoa, Masintoc, Monte, Mumulaan, Nagbacalan, Nalasin, Nanguyudan, Oaig-Upay-Abulao, Pambaran, Pannaratan (Poblacion), Paratong, Pasil, Salbang (Poblacion), San Agustin, San Blas (Poblacion), San Juan, San Pedro, San Roque (Poblacion), Sangladan Pob. (Nalbuan), Santa Rita (Poblacion), Sideg, Suba, Sungadan, Surgui, Veronica. Paoay Lake: Another prominent feature of the municipality is Paoay Lake. Legend has it that it was the site of a prosperous barangay called San Juan de Sahagún (Saint John of Sahagún) that sank following an earthquake. On the shores of the lake lies a mansion once used by the Marcoses called Malacañang of the North; it is now a museum. Adjacent to the mansion is the Paoay Golf Course.
HOW TO GET THERE
There are no direct flights to Paoay. The nearest airport is Laoag which is the capital city of the Ilocos Norte region. Philippine Airlines (PAL) fly to Laoag from Manila two times a day with the flight taking approximately one hour.
Manila to Paoay is almost 500kms and will take you around 8 hours if you drive non stop. However, it is recommended to stay overnight along the way. If not, there are a number of places you can stop off along the way to take a quick break which is highly recommended.
If you fly into Laoag, you can take a bus to Paoay which is only about 20 kms and will take about half an hour.
If coming from Manila, there are several bus lines but GV Florida bus lines have a direct trip from Manila to Laoag with a stop Paoay. They have an overnight trip option which is good if you can handle sleeping on buses.
If you don’t have a vehicle, there are plenty of tricycles to get you around Paoay depending exactly where you are and where you want to go.
