  WELCOME!!!

Since my motor was available I decided to give you a peek of my town and invited Princess to kill some time. Yes, it was worth it! Come in PASUQUIN^_^

Pasuquin, Ilocos Norte, the Hometown of the Famous Biscocho.  Where recently amended because the number of tourist and visitors stopping by increased. You can see the billboard before the public market going north.

 2 Kinds of Biscocho

1.         Soft Biscocho

2.         Toasted Biscocho

After the public market, is here the newly Pasuquin Town Plaza, just in front of the Municipal Hall-presently under renovation. Near the Christmas tree is the kid’s playground and they have this “SINE LUBSAK” during night where you can be able to watch a movie. There’s also installed two drinking fountains around the corner. 

In the center of Plaza is a fountain opened during night time with light.  It’s a nice place to have some shots.  So we did.

Lets enter one of the Barangays’ of Pasuquin, Ilocos Norte  for cooling our body- SURONG

From the market of Pasuquin to our destination in Surong will take us 5-10 minutes drive. Then after that we’ll trek for 15-20 minutes- good for the health.

The LUTTUONG FALLS. It was breathtaking even though the water falling are lesser than it usual flow. We wish to soak a bit but there were men out there singing the theme song of Voltez 5 of course having good time in the falls, you see we are two ladies in adventure but have fears and limits. Even though we didn’t feel the water, we were entertained by their song and contented to have a picture of the falls so then we get back rest a bit in the fields and plan our later place.

Next spot is Puyupuyan Proper, but before that we went to Pragata-Bungro, known for its relaxing, scenic views of the beach and farms. It is a well-loved barangay adding the long bridge, a way to see its beauty.

Why there’s a bridge? Because during rainy days the water goes up and the island where the bridge is connected is affected. Usually tourist make this a good spot for photo shooting.

Afterward is the Puyupuyan proper where the main attraction is the old Spanish Tower located behind a grotto some fanatic people built. 

 This fortress was built by the Spaniards as watchtower for some pirates roaming the ocean for their victims. The grotto they alleged to have some apparitions were never verified by either the government or the Church, yet some people believe that the grotto has healed some illness and brought some luck to fishermen. This depends on one's belief.

GOOD NEWS!!! Recently the old Spanish Tower was included one of the new National Cultural Treasures which is now to be put under the protection, preservation, and promotion by the national government and concerned agencies such as the National Museum, National Commission for Culture and the Arts, and National Historical Commission of the Philippines, among others. They are now starting to develop it.

There are more to discover so come and uncover ;)
