Finding Philippines HIDDEN FORMER CAPITAL! Lubuagan, Kalinga (Cordilleras E03)

LUBUAGAN IN KALINGA WAS THE CAPITAL OF THE FIRST PHILIPPINE REPUBLIC FOR 73 DAYS IN 1900.
Hidden away from plain sight, the town appears suddenly as you turn a corner.
From Sagada to Kalinga is a much improved but still fairly dangerous ride through an impressive river valley - we follow this today!

Hello Kumander, I feel happy that your subscribers keep on growing in numbers. Despite the depression you went through, it doesn't seem obvious that you went through it because you're a very cheerful person and your positivity is very contagious. Keep up the good work. 😊

Hi Kumander Daot, I’m from Lubuagan, Kalinga.. indeed Lubuagan was once the Capital of the Philippines during the time of Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo. The Spanish were never able to rule this part of the Philippines. Back on March 6th, 1900, Emilio Aguinaldo actually declared Lubuagan the "seat of government" of the First Philippine Republic. For 72 days, this place acted as "the capital" of the country! That’s why he has a statue near our Plaza to commemorate the once Capital of the Philippines.. Thank you for featuring our hometown in your vlog! Come visit again to see other beautiful tourist spots here in our municipality, Lubuagan, Kalinga😄
