Suggestions: You can try to travel up north Luzon. You can check the Boracay of the North ... The Anguib Beach Sta. Ana Cagayan. It cheaper there, not like Boracay. Callao Cave. Then you can check Batanes Island. You can check online these places .

Handsome Ilocanos & captivating Ilocanas💜 Thanks to Michael for this more peaceful, serene presentation of Vigan ilocos Sur. The more touristy presentations I’ve viewed (such as from 👸🏻Miss Universe pageants, they frequently do the side trips to Vigan for 📸photo shoots 😄) & official tourism departments, haven’t had this …atmospheric quality. Though they presented the area well. I just appreciate M’s take.

Ilocos Sur is quite exposed when it comes to tourism and all, Ilocos Norte isn't that exposed, however Ilocos Norte is the Balikabayan Province of the Philippines. And the best part of the north is that the cost of living is very low, from rent to almost everything. As per safety, it is one of the safest and cleanest province in the whole country

History: You will know it is an old city/ municipal in the Philippines when you see a plaza (or town square) in between a cathedral and the capitol/ municipal government buildings. It was designed naturally to keep the balance and separate power between the church and the states. It was designed during the Spanish era to make sure that the church won't influence the government's works and vice versa, however, the two power must be nearby to make sure that the ruling of the government will always be based with the spiritual guidance of the Church. Before, when the Spaniards introduced Christianity (conquered the Philippines) the church or the friers always intervenes in the policy and rules of the state and because of this, the Filipino leaders and officials make it sure that it will never ever happen again by putting a town square or a plaza in between both powers.❤ Enjoy your stay in our beloved Philippines.🇵🇭👍🙏

After the Diocese of Manila was elevated to Archdiocese, they had to decentralize so they created the Diocese of Nueva Segovia, Diocese of Nueva Caceres in Naga and Diocese of Cebu in Cebu. All 3 are now archdioceses.
