From: Surfing San Juan by CATHERINE CALDERON
Inflight.ph, August-September 2010
source: http://www.inflight.ph/surfing-la-union/


La Union’s history told of Japanese, Chinese and Moro pirates invading its shore and leaving a trail of destruction. Pindangan Church Ruins in the City of San Fernando is testament to this. When the pirates came to Pindangan (Ilocano term that means a place where meats are salted and hung to dry) sometime in the 1800s, they pillaged the place and burned down the church, built in 1764. What remains of the church now are the brick walls, the flying buttresses and an old well made of corals and bricks right by the left wing of the church.

St. Catherine Parish in Luna, built by the Augustinians in the 19th century, is home to the miraculous Our Lady of Namacpacan, which draws devotees from all walks of life.

Capitol Hill and the Freedom Park/Heroes Hill, the seat of the local government, where the governor holds office, has the best view in town. The Romanesque-inspired building sits on top of a hill and from its verandah, which is also a view deck, you can see the city of San Fernando and the China Sea. Just right outside the corner of the building’s east wing is Freedom Park or Heroes Hill. Walk up the hill’s 100 steps to see the busts of Filipino heroes.

Yup, like what I have just told. Spanish house-inspired naman ang achitecture nito. One of the most beautiful Jollibee store facade for me

about Agoo Museum

Quote:
Museums in the local government levels featuring history and ethnographic collection of the locality multiplied in number. In 1969, the province of Iloilo through Governor Conrado Norada donated a 2,000 square meter lot on the provincial capitol to the Board of Travel and Tourist Industry (BTTI) which eventually housed the Museo Iloilo. In 1970, the Benguet Provincial Board formed a committee on culture headed by Governor Palispis that established the Benguet Museum. The Cagayan Museum, a division under the Governor’s office was conceived by Hon. Teresa Dupaya in 1971 and opened to the public two years later. The Museo de La Union was constructed and completed in 1979 as a repository of the rich cultural and historical artifacts gathered in the province of La Union. The Museo Iloko was the former presidencia of Agoo town, La Union which was restored by the Philippine Tourism Authority in1981.
