The shrine marks the place where the "Tiger of Malaya" General Tomoyuki Yamashita, the highest commander of the Japanese Imperial Army in the Philippines, surrendered to the Fil-American Forces. Annually, the Victory Day of Gen Yamashita's surrender is commemorated every 2na day of September. The shrine is a tall edifice rising sheer to the skies, its line reminding of the unique architectural designs of a native Ifugao house. The Military Shrines Service, Philippine Veterans Affairs Office started operation and administration of the shrine on 16 October 1975. (Veterans Memorial and Historical Division, PVAO) --- Marker Text: Bantayog sa Kiangan Lalawigang Bulubundukin Sa pook na ito sumuko si Heneral Tomoyuki Yamashita, ang namumunong heneral na ika-14 na purok ng hukbong Hapon, at ilang matataas na pinunong militar ng mga Hapon, sa magkasanib na lakas ng mga Pilipino at Amerikano noong 1945. Itinayo sa utos ng Pangulong Ferdinand E. Marcos noong Abril 19, 1973 bilang paggunita sa mga namatay sa nasabing digmaan. ---- Officially called the Kiangan War Memorial Shrine, it is a gigantic steel and concrete structure which stands at Linda, Kiangan overlooking the town proper and the capital town of Lagawe to the east. It was built in 1974 to commemorate the end of World War II in the Philippines. Upfront, the structure resembles an oversized Ifugao house of the ‘bale’ type with a larged carved wooden mural at the inside back wall depicting Philippine historical events from the Lapu-Lapus’ victory against Magellan to the Philippine Revolution against Spain up to the battles against the Japanese in World War II. The Kiangan War Memorial Shrine stands commandingly on the spot where the headquarters of the American Lieutenant governor and constabulary commander was located during the early American regime in Ifugao. The shrine was erected in 1974 to commemorate the end of World War II in the Pacific. It was in Kiangan where the last fierce battles were fought between the Japanese and the American forces. The then President Fidel V. Ramos issued a proclamation declaring September 2, 1945 as Philippine Victory Day, the day General Tomoyuki Yamashita informally surrendered. The former Home Economics building of the Kiangan Central School used to bear the telltale marks of the battle wrought by bullets and shrapnels during the War of Liberation. (The old building was accidentally burned to the ground on New Year’s Eve of 1993 and it was rebuilt soon after). It was in this old pockmarked school building where Yamashita coming down from the mountains in Tinoc-Hungduan area surrendered to the 6th Infrantry Division of the US Army. He was later airlifted to Baguio City where he signed the formal surrender of the Japanese on September 3,1945 at Camp John Hay. It was declared as a Military Shrine by virtue of Presidential Proclamation No.1460 s. 1975. | Tangible-Immovable |

Hagabi ng Ifugao | Ifugao Hagabi | CAR | Ifugao | Philippine Intangible Cultural Heritage Inventory | This is the most prestigious and expensive of all Ifugao rites. Not just any kadangyan can sponsor it. The ritual is named after the lounging bench, hagabi, which is carved from a whole tree trunk (usually narra). It is the symbol of the highest status of Ifugao aristocracy among the Tuwali Ifugao, in Kiangan, Hungduan, Lagawe and part of Banaue. It is the ultimate in the long and expensive journey toward the highest status in Ifugao society. The felling of a giant tree, the hewing, transporting of the roughly hewed bench to the house of the sponsors, the blessing and the final polishing – all these entail a series of socio-reigious rites with the corresponding expenses. _____ Inventory No.: 26 ICH Domain: 3 Ethnolingustic Group: Ifugao | Intangible | ||

Archaeological Areas of in Cagayan Valley and Kalinga-Apayao | CAR | Cagayan; Kalinga; Apayao | Archaeological Reservation, National Museum | The Cagayan Valley-Kalinga-Apayao area is one of the richest archaeological regions in the Philippines. Researches undertaken by the National Museum in Cagayan Province have revealed evidences of earliest stone tools and remains of extinct animals, such as stegodons, elephants, and rhinoceros that could be traced back to 800,000 years ago. In other areas of the valley, specifically along the great Cagayan River and its tributaries, archaeological sites have yielded artifacts and ecofacts dating back to the Paleolithic Age and the Neolithic Age. The Neolithic Age is a period in Philippine pre-history when man started to domesticate plants and probably animals. In other sites, metal implements were recovered that provided evidences of the Iron Age that covers the transition from 2000 B.C. to 1000 A.D. In spite of the presence of mountain ranges that act as a barrier, Cagayan Valley was never isolated from foreign influences. The valley was part of the long prehistoric international trade with other countries of Asia. The Historic Age marked the date when Juan Salcedo visited the valley. These discoveries provide a view of the cultural changes that took place in the region.

Mga Awit Hudhud ng Ifugao | The Hudhud Chants of the Ifugao | Hudhud Epic | CAR | Banaue, Kiangan, Hungduan, Lagawe | Ifugao | UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity; National Cultural Treasure, National Museum; Philippine Intangible Cultural Heritage Inventory | Hudhud – declared as a masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by the UNESCO, Hudhud epics were mythologically given to the Ifugao people. This is an heritage and can only be heard if sung. In ancient times, old men and women chanted the Hudhud during harvest time, wakes, and several occasions. Hudhud is actually a manner of chanting stories on love, marriage, wealth, courage, strength and female virtues. Associated with the hudhud is the rock of Pumbakhayon located in Bae. It is believed that the hudhud epics were given to the people from this rock. Hudhud Chants of the Ifugao, Philippines The Hudhud is recited and chanted among the Ifugao people - known for their rice terraces - during the sowing and harvesting of rice, funeral wakes and other rituals. Estimated to have originated before the 7th century, the hudhud - comprised of some 40 episodes - often take three or four days to recite. The language of the chants, almost impossible to transcribe, is full of repetitions, synonyms, figurative terms and metaphors. Performed in a leader/chorus style, the reciter - often an elderly woman - occupies a key position in society. There is only one tune, common to the entire region, for all of the verses. Very few written examples of hudhud exist. Threats: The conversion of the Ifugao to Catholicism weakened their traditional culture. The Hudhud was linked to the manual harvesting of rice which is now mechanized. It has been replaced at funeral wakes by television and radio. Although the rice terraces are inscribed on the World Heritage List, the number of cultivators continues to decrease. The few people who know all the poems are very old, and young people are not interested in this tradition. Action plan: The rights of indigenous peoples are protected by Philippine law, including their intellectual property. Publication of historical and ethnological iconographs is planned. The government also proposes festivals and indigenous ceremonies. The National Library and National Museum are responsible for a complete archive of the Hudhud. A project teaching the tradition to young people is foreseen. (Source: http://www.unesco.org/) _ PICHI Inventory No.: 2 ICH Domain: 1 Ethnolingustic Group: Ifugao _ Hudhud consists of narrative chants traditionally performed by the Ifugao community, which is well known for its rice terraces extending over the highlands of the northern island of the Philippine archipelago. It is practiced during the rice-sowing season, harvest time, funeral wakes and rituals. The Hudhud comprises more than 200 chants, each divided into 40 episodes. A complete episode may last for several days nonstop. Since the Ifugao culture is matrilineal, the wife generally takes the main part in the chants and the brother occupies a higher position than her husband. The language of the stories abounds in figurative expressions and repetitions and employs metonymy, metaphor and onomatopoeia. The chants tells on ancestral heroes, customary law, religious beliefs and traditional practices and reflects the importance of rice cultivation. The narrators, mainly elderly women, hold a key position in the community, both as historians and preachers. The first narrator and a choir employing a single melody for all the verses of Hudhud alternately. Through the efforts for the conservation and preservation of cultural heritage, the Local Government Unit added Performing Arts competition on its cultural festivals on the municipal and provincial levels where Hudhud is contested. Through this, the Hudhud culture bearers train the youth in certain municipalities and barangays to compete. The Ifugao Cultural Heritage Office is conducting School of Living Traditions Trainings on the Ifugao Hudhud and chants. - Declared as a National Cultural Treasure by virtue of National Museum Declaration No. 002-01 | Intangible |

Mga Pay-yo ng Ifugao | Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras | Banaue Rice Terraces | CAR | Banaue; Mayoyao; Hungduan; Kiangan | Ifugao; Mountain Province | National Cultural Treasure, National Museum; Marked Structure, NHCP; UNESCO World Heritage Site | Marker Text: Ifugao Rice Terraces The Ifugao Rice Terraces cover an area of nearly 400 square kilometers, and if the walls were placed end to end, they would reach more than half-way around the earth. Those of Banaue, Hapao, and Hungduan are among the oldest in Luzon. Archaeological and historical studies indicate that it took the Ifugaos more than 2,000 years to build them. The stone-walled terraces of Ifugao are the highest, best built, and most extensive in the world. A single migrating people is believed to have carried the terrace culture from South China or Indo-China across to Luzon and southern Japan, and southward to Java and the lesser Sunda Islands — which are the only regions where true rice terraces exist. Remains indicate that the first migration was probably in the second millenium B.C., and carried only a material culture of polished stone, copper and bronze; but a second migration, in the latter part of the first millenium B.C., brought also the use of iron, pottery, and woven cloth. The Banaue people represent the oldest native folk; those of central Ifugao are the typical carriers of the terrace culture; and those of the Kiangan district are the latest comers into the region.

Approved: August 1, 1973 _____ Ifugao Rice Terraces – dubbed as the eight wonder of the world, the Ifugao Rice Terraces are ancient terraces that were carved into the mountains by the ancestors of the Ifugao. These were inscribed by UNESCO into the World Heritage List as Living Cultural Landscape and recognized by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) as a remarkable engineering achievement. The province has clusters of rce terraces in several of its municipalities, however, only five terraces are inscribed in the World Heritage List. In 2001, these clusters were placed under the Heritage Lists in Danger. Since then, the Philippines and the international community have made a joint effort to fund and implement the restoration and preservation of the Ifugao Rice Terraces. | Tangible-Immovable |

Punnuk ad Hungduan | Punnuk, a tugging ritual in Hungduan | Ifugao Punnuk | CAR | Hungduan | Ifugao | UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List; Philippine Intangible Cultural Heritage Inventory; Registered Property, Province of Ifugao | Inventory No.: 254 ICH Domain: 3 Ethnolingustic Group: Tuwali Ifugao --- Punnuk is a thanksgiving ritual performed among members of three communities in the town of Hungduan, Ifugao province in celebration of a bountiful harvest. The Punnuk, which is held along the Hapao-Baang river, is the final event of the Howah ritual which marks the completion of the rice harvest and the beginning of a new agricultural cycle upon its consummation. The Punnuk water-tugging ritual is branded as one of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 2015. The ritual as a whole, highlights the communities continuing respect for their ancestor's culture, tradition and beliefs. Before Punnuk, the Baki and the Inum, which is the first and second part of the Howah ritual, are held at the ground floor of the dumupag's house. (The dumupag, the designated lead family in the harvest, belongs to the kadangyan, a traditional rich class owning inherited terraced fields.) Both rituals are presided by the mumbaki (ritual specialist) who chants expressions of gratitude to the gods for the harvest and to the forbears for the terrace fields bequeathed to the present generation of dumupag. The third and the last of the howah ritual is the Punnuk. It is held on the day after the baki and inum. The main activities the tug of war in the water participated by the male, female and children members of the three communities. The Actual Punnuk: On the day of the punnuk, three groups of participants wear their traditional attire and march to convergence point of the waters of the Hapao River and its tributary. The three groups come from different directions- Hapao from the east, Bang from the south-west, and Nungulunan from the north-west-making their way through thickets and rice terrace embankments. The men carry the pakid and the king-ag, which are decorated with the dongh leaves (Cordyline fruticosa) while bunches of leaves are waved high to the tempo of boastful cheering of the participants. The punnuk features the kina-ag and the pakid. The kina-ag, the object for tugging, is made of tightly packed dried rice stalks bound neatly with vines called a-e (Tinospora sp.). It is formed like either a ring or a human figure. The pakid, the object for pulling the kina-ag, is the sapling of the attoba tree (Callicarpa formosana). From an adjacent sapling, a formidable hook is fashioned at the base of the pakid where the kina-ag is securely attached during the tugging. The elder member of each participating community performs the gopah, prayers imploring the gods' blessing for a successful performance of the rite and for the community's health and wellbeing. After the gopah, a kina-ag is thrown in the river, and the opposing groups immediately strike and hook it with their pakid. If the river current is strong, the pakid is securely hooked into the kina-ag by one of the elders neutral to the contending groups. The tugging invites cheers from community members positioned at the river embankments eagerly hoping for a victory on their side. The group that pulls the kina-ag, closer to its side, wins the round. The winning group then faces off with the remaining group for another round of tugging. Punnuk can go on as long as there is a kina-ag to pull, if the pakid remains sturdy, or until everyone gets tired. The group that wins the most rounds is declared the victor not only in punnuk but of the entire harvest season. After the matches and a winner is declared, the used kina-ag is thrown into the river to be swept away by the currents so that when it is seen by the communities living downstream, people will know that the harvest in Hapao, Baang, and Nungulunan has been completed. Beliefs: It is believed that after the Punnuk, Binongbong, the deity from the East would declare the lifting of these prohibitions thus being celebrated by the people. The winners likewise during the Punnuk will receive plenty of blessing and their rice granary will always be full. Those who do not win, however, are challenged to fend off a lean year. Setting: The site of the punnuk is at Nunhipukana, where two rivers, Hapao- Baang river and a tributary river meet. Aims: This festival aims to deepen the connection of people to their culture and traditions that are tied to the rice terraces harvest cycles. | Intangible |
Mga Ritwal mula Pagkapanganak ng Tinguian | Tinguian Birth Cycle Rituals | CAR | Abra | Philippine Intangible Cultural Heritage Inventory | The natural cause of pregnancy is understood by the Tinguian, but coupled with this knowledge is a belief in its close relationship to the spirit world. Supernatural conception and unnatural births are frequently mentioned in the traditions, and are accepted as true by the mass of people; while the possibility of increasing the fertility of the husband and wife by magical acts, performed in connection with the marriage ceremony, is unquestioned. Likewise, the wife may be affected if she eats peculiar articles of food, and unappeased desires for fruits and the like may result disastrously both for the expectant mother and the child. The close relationship which exists between the father and the unborn babe is clearly brought out by various facts; for instance, the husband of a pregnant woman is never whipped at a funeral, as are the other guests, lest it result in injury to the child.

Mga Yungib na Panlibing ng Kabayan | Kabayan Mummy Burial Caves | Mummy Caves | CAR | Kabayan | Benguet | Tentative List of UNESCO World Heritage Sites; National Cultural Treasure, National Museum | Kabayan is one of the Municipality of Benguet Province in the Cordillera Mountain Ranges of northern Luzon. The municipality is recognized as a center of Ibaloi Culture. The Ibaloi, the dominant ethno-linguistic group, of Kabayan have a long traditional practice of mummifying their dead. Mummification began prior to the Spanish colonization. Individuals from the higher societal stratum of the Ibaloi of Kabayan used to be mummified through a long ritual process over a long period of time. The process of mummification using salt and herbs and set under fire may take up to two years. When the body is finally rid of body fluids, the mummy is placed inside a pinewood coffin and laid to rest in a man-made cave or in niche dug-out from solid rock. During the Spanish period, Christianity spread and took a foothold in the mountains of Benguet and the practice of mummification and cave burial was abandoned. The remains are then placed in wooden coffins and interred in man-made burial niches in rocks or rock shelters and/or natural caves. Strategically located in the mountain slopes of the municipality of Kabayan, more than 200 man-made burial caves have been identified and 15 of which contain preserved human mummies. (Source: http://whc.unesco.org/) Kabayan Mummies – Acknowledged as a center of Ibaloi culture, Kabayan is known for its cave and rock formations, both of which were used for the burial of the mummified bodies of their ancestors. Ibaloi mummification practices are believed to predate the arrival of the Spanish. The procedure of mummification makes use of salt, herbs and smoking. To get rid of the fluids, the process may last up to two years. When the body is finally devoid of finals, the mummy is placed inside a pinewood coffin and placed in a cave or in a hole dug out from a large rock or boulder. The movement of populations is believed to have facilitated the spread of mummification practices to nearby provinces. | Natural |
Episcopal Diocese of Northern Philippines Mission Compound | Mission Compound | CAR | Sagada | Mountain Province | Local Cultural Property - Heritage Zone (per Joint Resolution No. 1, Series 2017) | In 1904 the Rev. John A Staunton, Jr., pioneer missionary of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America (ECUSA), acquired parcels of land for the mission center in Sagada Poblacion after negotiating with Sagada elders who designated the denuded hilly area east of the community in exchange for Fr. Staunton's offer to build a church, educate their children and provide employment for them. Fr. Staunton had the bulk of this mission land titled in 1915 and registered in the name of ECUSA which in 1994 conveyed by way of donation the mission land to its successor, the Episcopal Church in the Philippines (ECP) from which the Episcopal Diocese of Northern Philippines (EDNP), as a constituent diocese of ECP, derives its jurisdiction and stewardship of the Mission Compound with the Parish of St. Mary the Virgin in Sagada. Fr. Staunton established the Mission Compound as the mission center for the Christianization and development of Sagada and its neighboring communities. Using his engineering background with the help of skilled workers from Manila and laborers in Sagada, Fr. Staunton had the area landscaped and transformed into an industrial mission center which became known as “one of the outstanding achievements of the American occupation of the Philippines” by 1915. The Mission Compound by then had four stone quarries, two lime kilns, planning mill, machine shops, printing press, carpentry shops, vegetable gardens, herd of cows, carabaos and horses; and 20 buildings which housed the shops, stores, and supplies, as well as the school, dormitories, clinic and missionaries’ quarters connected by telephone, with electric lighting, and spring water piped into the whole compound; and where “fifty apprentices were under industrial training and 150 others on the payroll and 150 children were under instruction.” During World War II most of the original mission buildings including the stone church were destroyed and then rebuilt after the war, but four original buildings survived the war and the ravages of time and are still existing at present albeit in dilapidated conditions and in dire need of rehabilitation, namely the Girls’ School, built in 1912, the Lyceum, finished in. 1920, the Mission Office/lgorot Exchange Store, finished in 1915, and Printing Shop/Machine Shop, finished in 1915. While the industrial aspect of the Mission Compound gradually phased out by the 1930s after serving its purpose of providing employment and introducing new livelihood skills, technology and agricultural crops under a cash economy that advanced Sagada’s development ahead of the times, the three original mission arms established by Fr. Staunton and enhanced by succeeding missionaries and local mission workers have remained as the pillars of the mission center today as in the past decades. These are the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, which held its first centennial celebration in 2004, the St. Mary’s School that transformed the pre-literate Sagada society in the early 1900s to a community with a high literacy rate later becoming the first private secondary school in the old Mountain Province and holding its first centennial celebration in 2012, and the St. Theodore’s Hospital which became the first private hospital in the old Mountain Province and still remains as the only private hospital in the new Mountain Province marking its diamond jubilee in 2005. The Mission Compound also includes the Convent (built 1950s, now Parish Office) of the Sisters of St. Mary the Virgin who operated the Holy Child Orphanage (until the early 1970s) which was converted into St. Joseph Resthouse (1980s); old Rectory building (1950s); Doctors’ Residence building (1950s), Nurses Home building (1950s); Novitiate building (built 1970s, now rectors residence); building of the Sagada Community Consumers’ Cooperative, the first cooperative in Sagada established in the late 19603 and still operating; Montanosa Research and Development Center building (formerly Cabalda residence) constructed in the 1950s and renovated in the 1990s; Stapleton Hall building (1960s, now dormitory); Kindergarten building (1960s); and lately, Bishop Edward Longid Centrum; Senior Citizens’ building, Seismic Vaulthouse/Pier (in Tangeb) to monitor seismic movements for the PHlLVOCS center in Quezon City, and the Municipal Fire Station building (under construction). | Tangible-Immovable | |

Paghihiwalay ng Mag-asawa ng Tinguian | Tinguian Marriage Separation | CAR | Tubo | Abra | Philippine Intangible Cultural Heritage Inventory | Divorce is not uncommon, and is effected by a council similar to that just described. An attempt to reconcile the couple is made, but if that fails, the old men decide who is at fault, and assess the expenses of the gathering to that one. If blame attaches to the husband, he must complete any part of the marriage price still due; but if the woman is guilty, her parents and relatives must return the gifts distributed at the time of the engagement. The chief causes for divorce are cruelty or laziness on the part of the man, or unfaithfulness of the woman.

This act immediately places the household under an obligation to protect him. When offered food, it must be accepted, otherwise the act will be considered a declaration of conflict because to their way of thinking “only an enemy wil not eat with me”. _____ Inventory No.: 166 ICH Domain: 3 Ethnolingustic Group: Kalinga | Intangible | ||

He crushed the Spanish troops and took the civil guards as prisoner. At the Tejeros Convention Ricarte was elected Captain-General and received a military promotion to Brigadier-General in Emilio Aguinaldo's army. He led his men in various battles in Cavite, Laguna, and Batangas. Aguinaldo designated him to remain in Biak-na-Bato, San Miguel, Bulacan to supervise the surrender of arms and to see to it that both the Spanish government and Aguinaldo's officers complied with the terms of the peace pact. Near the end of World War II, Ricarte again found himself taking flight from American and Filipino forces. It was stated by Colonel Ota, that he ask Ricarte to evacuate the Philippine island but Ricarte refused, stating ""I can not take refuge in Japan at this critical moment when my people are in actual distress. I will stay in my Motherland to the last."" Due to the hardship and difficulties from evading American and Filipino attacks, Ricarte became ill and suffered from debilitating dysentery.

Nagchajan (pronounced ‘nagchayan’) Viewpoint serves as a rest stop and a historical landmark, commemorating the site where, at the twilight of World War II, Japanese forces took their last stand from July 25 to August 7, 1945. This “Battle of Mayoyao” continues to be recounted by locals. The Japanese had the upper ground, but were besieged, and eventually surrendered. Mt. Nagchajan, where Filipinos and American troops fought the fierce battles against the Japanese troops during WWII. The mountain has several grottos, stone walled trenches, and fox holes. One can also find rusty shells on this old battleground. Mt. Nagchajan is also enlisted as a World War II Memorial site by the National Historical Institute of the Philippines, and honored during the town festival called “Lenong” which means “Peace”. From the viewpoint (1281masl), there is a trail that leads to the summit (1455 masl) where Smart has a tower. Though short, the trek is still a respectable one, with steep ascents on ancient, rocky footpaths. There are enough pine trees to remind the hiker of some parts of Mt. Amuyao. At the summit, we could see the rice terraces and the surrounding mountains on one side; and Mayoyao town proper on the other. From a distance looms the lowlands of Isabela and vague outlines of the Sierra Madre. The road is being built all the way to the viewpoint, which means that the trek will be an abbreviated one in the future. Nagchayan now is accessible by any type of vehicles. | Natural |

This event which was an uprising in Ilocos in bloody protest against Spanish tyranny and oppression was also called the “Basi Revolt of 1807”. Inflamed by the prohibition to make “basi”, the native wine, rebels led by one Ambaristo rose successfully in Laoag, Sarrat, Batac and Piddig, all towns in Ilocos Norte. Then they engaged the Spanish forces at Bantaoay River in San Ildefonso to capture Vigan but they were badly outnumbered and disastrously defeated by well-armed Spanish soldiers. Another significant event was the bloody battle between Ambaristo and one Malong. Ambaristo and his brother Ambalong, both mighty sons of Sarrat, Ilocos Norte, wanted to rule the whole Ilocandia. They gathered their men and armed them with bows and arrows and sharp pointed sticks. They moved south from Sarrat and conquered all the towns they passed by. Malong was another fearless warrior of gigantic field. He was from Pangasinan. He not only wanted to be the ruler of Pangasinan but also of the whole Northern Ilocandia. From his town Binalatongan,now San Carlos City, he mobilized his army to the north conquering also every town he passed by. The two bold and daring leaders with their armies met near the wide and deep river called the Bantaoay River or Rio de Bantaoay in San Ildefonso. They fought bravely. Hundreds after hundreds fell and died. It was so bloody that the water of the River turned red. Ambaristo died in the battle, and was succeeded by his brother. Overpowered Ambalong’s men had to retreat to the mountains. To show them their victory Malong and his men placed Ambaristo in a cage and paraded him as a sign of victory. In September 16, 2007, the LGU celebrated the 200 years anniversary of the Basi Rebolt.

Bahay Medriano | Medriano House | FACOMA | Region I | Aringay | La Union | Registered Property, Municipality of Aringay, La Union | The Medriano House is already more than 200 years. It was built during the Spanish occupation, bearing Spanish influence in its design. During the American occupation, the FACOMA helped the farmers through buying their goods at higher prices. The Chinese merchants on the other hand, had to cope up with the competition, that led them into buying the goods from the farmers using the same price or even higher. The FACOMA, with its history, architectural design, integrity, and authenticity is a beauty in itself. It evokes nostalgia, and the memories of yesteryears. It is the only house from the Spanish era that still stands today. It is picturesque all throughout its existence displaying a multicultural influence. Its ambiance speaks of Spanish, the character comes from Chinese for its economic spirit, yet a Filipino by heart. The architectural design- the form, layout and build is definitely of that Spanish era. The Medriano House is therefore of cultural heritage significance because it is an excellent example of its type. It also clearly demonstrates its principal period of significance: the 1800s. The Medriano House was constructed in mid-1800s. It is the only remaining house from its period. The Medriano House demonstrated the Renaissance plan used by the Spanish Colonizers in establishing towns and cities during the 1800s. We can see the grid used by that time in relation to the house, the church, the town plaza, and the municipal hall. The structure also underscored a page in Aringay’s history during the American Occupation, when they converted the house into the Farmer’s Cooperative Market (FACOMA).The cooperative were buying the farmers’ goods at higher prices. Hence, the farmers would prefer selling their products to them. So, in order for the Chinese merchants to cope up with the market, they had to follow the lead and buy the goods from the farmers using the same price or sometimes even higher. Thus, the FACOMA also talks about the story of the Chinese commercial activity during the period. | Tangible-Immovable |

Daungan ng Pandan | Pandan Sea Port; Pandan Port | Pandan Port; Puerto Pandan de Vigan; Fishmarket; Fishport | Region I | Caoayan | Ilocos Sur | Registered Property, Municipality of Caoayan, Ilocos Sur | Before the conquiestas of the Philippine Islands, there were major ports in the archipelago--- the ports of Cebu, Manila and Caoayan in Vigan (Puerto de Vigan, Pandan). The port of Caoayan was a cradle of civilization especially in trade and commerce in the long years before the arrival of Spaniards. It continued as such during the Spanish colonization of Ilocandia until the American occupation. Before the Spaniards ever set foot in Caoayan at sundown on June 12, 1572, Ilocos was already a center of trade and commerce especially at Pandan, Caoayan, Ilocos Sur. Whenever the Chinese traders arrived at nightfall, they would no longer proceed to Manila City but instead, entered the port of “Los Ylocos” and unload their commodities and entrust them to the “Sanglays” or Chinese Mestizos of Vigan and to the natives. It was a good opportunity and privilege among the Caoayeños and Bigueños. The Sangleys (Chinese) and Japanese traders were the first to dock at the Pandan port in Caoayan and Agoo in La Union unloading fine silk jars and porcelain plates across the sea. Here also exited Abel (hand woven Ilocano cloth), alig (beeswax), diro (honey) and balitok (gold) --- products of the Samtoys, the Itnegs, and Igorots. The port of Pandan was very useful to the lives of the people in the ancient Ylocos because it prolonged the sustenance of their living as such of that continuous trade and commerce that happened between Filipinos and other races. The port has been one of the final docking points of sailboats from one of the Biray ports located at the south of PantayTamurong Island which navigated in the Butao River (estuary) going to Fuerte (Puerto). Sailboats (goletas), birays, pontings (pontines y pancos) --- vessels which range in sizes that plied the rivers and sea serving in commerce and industry as well as bridge between the Samtoys and other races in the olden days. These small sailing vessels travelled from Caoayan to Aparri, Cagayan, Agoo, La Union, Pangasinan, Manila, Zambales, and other places it could reach. Even the galleon ships plied this port to Manila to Acapulco, Mexico loaded with tobacco. Another major industry that was centered in Caoayan including the Vigan harbor was the building of boats or the so called “boat industry” like pontines y pancosfor coastal services as well as sailboats (goletas). This industry was eased out as means of transportation with the onset of modern highways especially those connecting the Ilocos provinces to Manila and Cagayan. Another event was when the Seven Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres led by Mother Marthe de St. Paul and Sr. Josephine Rappeport landed on 5 June 1905. They were welcomed by His Excellency Dennis Joseph Dougherty, the Bishop of Nueva Segovia, together with the young ladies of Vigan. The port of Pandan is indeed very important in the history of Caoayan and Ylocos because it has witnessed the transitory events in the province and had contributed a rich and colorful history in the establishment of Ciudad Fernandina de Vigan, now, the famous World Heritage and Wonder City of Vigan. This site, the ancient port of Ylocos region and its saga will remain vivid in the memories of the people. It has much significance for it has carved in the timeline of Caoayan, Ilocos Sur and Philippines respectively. | Tangible-Immovable |

Himpalan ng Daang-bakal ng Aringay | Aringay Train Station | Istasyon Ti Tren | Region I | Aringay | La Union | Registered Property, Municipality of Aringay, La Union | The Aringay Passenger Train Station is architecturally and historically significant because it is an excellent example of the many small –town railroad stations built by the Americans during the 1910s to 1920s. Its importance is highlighted by its aesthetic unity, physical condition and a one-way railway track to the North (Pangasinan to La Union). It was during the early 1990s when the commerce and industry started to boom in the municipality. With the presence of train services, the transportation became convenient for the people. They can directly travel to Tutuban to buy goods that they will be selling in their local market. The increase in the number of passengers augured well for ambulant vendors in the train stations. The station even at its decrepit state, still serves as a favorite location for photography enthusiasts. It stood the test of time and displays the haughty grandeur of the past. It embodies qualities of strong visual impact and an imagery of a bustling transportation center. The Aringay train station is a highly intact example of a concrete train station building. The old Aringay Train Station is already 106 years old. It is important in demonstrating the history of the municipality insofar as it constitutes a physical evidence of the Commonwealth Government's policy of constructing branch lines as a means to develop municipalities in provincial districts. | Tangible-Immovable |

Ina ng Pag-asa (Istatwa) | Nuestra Seňora de la Esperanza (Statue) | Our Lady of Hope; Apo Esperanza | Region I | Caoayan | Ilocos Sur | Registered Property, Municipality of Caoayan, Ilocos Sur | Both coincidences and God’s will are obviously present in this traditional account handed down by old folks. Before, during, and even after the Spanish Era, boat sailing was an important industry of the people of Caoayan. Some of the well-to-do families owned sailboats, pontingS, and bancas. The Spanish government owned many galleon ships that plied from Pandan port to Manila to Acapulco, Mexico, loaded with tobacco. As the story goes, it was one of the trips of the pontings when the crew sighted a floating object on the China Sea waters. The sailor fished it out and to their surprise; it was the statue of the Blessed Mother of God with Baby Jesus on her arm and holding an anchor in her right arm. It was really a coincidence because every ship and sailboat carried an anchor aboard which was called “Esperanza,” a sign of hope for sailboats to anchor safety. The sailor unloaded the statue in one of the warehouses at the Pandan Port. The first miracle that happened was the oozing of blood from the anchor when it was salvaged by the sailors. The church authorities called the statue “Nuestra Senora de la Esperanza.” The Lady of Hope perhaps did not like to stay permanently at Pandan Port. Although masses were celebrated at the warehouse, the Mother of God had a preference for a sanctuary of her own. Oftentimes, her bonnet had been seen hanging among the branches of the bamboo grove where the church now stands. On many a moonlight night, she had been witnessed by some devotees taking a walk with the Baby Jesus among the bamboos. These were the miracles that happened during her sojourn at Pandan Port. A certain Don Paulino Llanes, whose second wife happened to hail from Abra, gave an initial donation of timber from that province to lay the foundation of the church, which, over the years had been assiduously improved by the people of Caoayan. What once started as a simple house of devotion is now the massive brick church dedicated to the Mother of God, which she herself selected, at the “Talocatok ti Caoayan” or the highest elevation in the town. Since her enthronement at the Talocatoc, the place has never been flooded, indeed considered even by some skeptics as the Lady’s continuing miracle. So the church authorities interpreted that it was the will of God that Nuestra Senora de la Esperanza was to become the Patron Saint of Caoayan. | Tangible-Movable |

MARIANO BALANCIO Y DEL TENIENTE (indecipherable marks) D. HILARIO CALICA A SU YGLESIA DE BAUANG This bell was originally presented to Friar Mariano Garcia on behalf of the Church of Saints Peter and Paul in 1883 by Governor Mariano Balancio and Hilario Calica. It remained in the church belfry until 1901 when it was removed by U.S. forces stationed in the Philippines. It was later taken to the United States by General Thomas Barry. The circumstances surrounding the removal of the bell and its journey to the U.S. remain lost in history. General Barry later presented the bell to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York in 1915 where it remained for the next century. Over the subsequent decades, the origination of the bell and much of its history became obscured until 2015 when a group of American Veterans (sic) rediscovered the bell. Subsequent research identified that the bell belonged to the Church of Saints Peter and Paul in Bauang, La Union. The American veterans group then worked with Father Ronald R.O. Chan and Mayor Martin P. de Guzman III to formally request that the bell be returned to the church. In 2016, Lit. Gen. Robert J. Caslen, Jr., the 59th Superintendent of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point honored the request and agreed to return to the Church of Saints Peter and Paul as a gesture of good will and in recognition of America’s enduring friendship with the Philippines. | Tangible-Movable |

Established in 1918, the provincial capitol serves as the seat of the government of Ilocos Norte and continually brings quality services and assistance to the Ilokanos after its complete inauguration in 1924. Former named Doña Aurora Park in honor of President Manuel Quezon’s wife, this box-life edifice welcomes anyone who enters the province with its warm and pristine white Corinthian pillars in the main entrance. With rich story of Ilokano genuineness and architectural grandeur, the capitol building speaks of imperial dominance as its style is greatly inspired by American colonial structures. Before it became the official figure of provincial power, the area where it is established is a former headquarters of the United States Army during the American regime in 1900. Now, the provincial capitol sits at the heart of Ilocos Norte as it beats for Ilokano identity, character, and rapid development of life. Its front lawns are decorated regularly with eye-catching design that suits to what the province celebrates- may it be fiesta, Halloween, and Yuletide season. Any Ilokano can truly notice how the capitol exists to bring life and progress as Ilocos Norte continues to attract millions of tourists every year. Apart from its booming tourism, the capitol takes pride with its wise and great leaders who seated and ran the province. Former governors such as Antonio Raquiza (1955-1957), the present House Majority Leader Rodolfo Fariñas (1988-1998), and incumbent governor Imee Marcos (2010) contributed massively in making the province known and heard in the national and international landscape. Its century-year-old capitol building will be recognized by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) and National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) as a historical landmark in Ilocos Norte. Just like the resilience of Ilokanos, the capitol building remains strong and tough for the next one hundred years.

Ownership contested by Aglipayans, 1901. Scene of Diocesan Marian Congress, 1932 and 1949. Year Unveiled: 1950 ____ The Baroque style is said to be concerned with the unexpected. This facet is clearly seen in the facade of the church. There is a superficial feeling of chaos marked off by an apparently illogical arrangement of elements. There are too many features and a lack of integration between levels. There is discontinuity between lines and patterns resulting in a "bold and vibrant approach at massing," which is another way of looking at this bedazzling facade. It is this curious juxtaposition in contradiction that, in a manner of speaking, gives the structure its own "humor." The main arched entrance is flanked by massive engaged columns "applied tight against the wall, without pediments," topped by pseudo-Corinthian capitals composed of rosettes and acanthus flowers and crowned by urn-like finials of a very primitve form. Rising from the architrave, five sets of mini-columns with Doric capitals decorate the choir loft level, echoing the ones in the lower one. The columns of each story follow their own pattern and do not reach the next level but end abruptly, somewhat lower than expected if one were to follow the canons of architecture.

The windows are huge and sashed and are made of latticed capiz-tagkawayan. Its façade has those Romanesque Doric-like pillars I’d seen only in pictures like the Parthenon. Its rooms were big and wide, with lauan floors. Its doors were imposing and made from thick and heavy narra.

Sentro para sa Sining at Kultura ng San Nicolas | San Nicolas Center for Arts and Culture | Artesiano | Region I | San Nicolas | Ilocos Norte | Registered Property, Municipality of San Nicolas, Ilocos Norte | The water pump was named “Artesiano.” Since it drew water from a deep level, the piston and cylinder of the pump had to be lowered some thirty feet below the surface of the ground to enable it to suck the water. As a person was pumping his body had to bend and move up and down with his buttocks swaying back and forth. In Ilocano this body motion is called “agbuabo-buabo.” Passersby then from adjoining towns named the place and the pump together as “buabo-buabo.” In the year 2009, to preserve this historical landmark, the Local Chief Executive envisioned that the Artesiano (Buabo-Buabo) be converted into a center for Arts and culture, pursuant to Municipal Ordinance No. 1, series 2005. This learning center is aimed at generating historical and cultural awareness in the community. It showcases the San Nicoleños artistry, originality, creativity and craftsmanship as far back as can be recorded, thus, giving visual form to San Nicolas history. This vision was realized through the relentless efforts of the municipal government and the generous support of Dr. Marina Badua, a renowned San Nicoleño, whose kindness and undying affection to her native town, earned her the coveted San Nicolense – International 2008 award.

Simbahan ng San Andres Apostol ng Bacarra | Parish Church of Saint Andrew the Apostle of Bacarra | Simbaan ti Bacarra; Bacarra Church | Region I | Bacarra | Ilocos Norte | National Historical Landmark, NHCP; Registered Property, Province of Ilocos Norte | The town of Bacarra was founded by Augustinians on 18 September 1590, headed by Fr. Benito Mena who was a native of Vigan. The church dates back to the 16th century. Construction was supervised by Fray Felipe Fernandez of the Order of Saint Augustine. When the first building was destroyed, it was rebuilt in 1700 and was finished by 1706 headed by Fray Diego de Mendrosqueta, Fray Miguel Abiol and Fray Antonio de Villanueva. The church was damaged by an earthquake the following year and later by yet another one. The present church was rebuilt by Fray Juan Martin that was dated around the middle of the 19th century. Indigenous materials were used for the construction. Coral bricks made of sticky clay and molasses mixed with leaves and tree trunks of a tree soaked in water or “sablot” were used instead of cement, granite or adobe stones. The mixture resulted in a sticky fluid which was then combined with lime from ashes of burnt shells. The bricks were pieced together with stucco, the mixture beaten to paste. All the labor was manual. // The Parish Church of St. Andrew in Bacarra, Ilocos Norte was first constructed at the end of the 16th century by Agustinians but was later destroyed during an earthquake in the 1700s. In the mid-19th century, then parish priest Fr. Juan Martin orders its reconstruction.Supported by large buttresses, the rectangular-shaped church is adjoined to an L-shaped structure which serves as a convent.

One major uprising was lead by Diego Silang in Vigan. Silang secured a large following and gained control of the region. Inspired by the said rebellion against Spanish domination, the people of Binalatongan (now Pangasinan) with Juan de la Cruz Palaris at its helm, followed suit. Unfortunately, his forces were subdued in 1765. A large number of Filipinos abandoned their villages to avoid persecution through forced labor and excessive tax. They moved to mountains and regions that were beyond the control of the Spaniards. Many of these northern people seeking peace and freedom in regions beyond control, took the sea with small sailboats and sampans. They chanced to come upon the mouth of Bani River and Tambac Bay. Although barred by a shallow sandbar that is knee-deep during low tide, they moved to a farther side of the region. They saw a huge tree that fell on the shallow rapids of Don Cayo. The adventurers of the Ilocos provinces and Pangasinan came from strife-torn communities. They are the first inhabitants of Bani and they settled in the border of Ilocos Region. Their settlements around the banks of Don Cayo became a sitio, the nucleus of the town. The residents who were referred as "300 souls" by Fr. Mains de Lomboto petitioned their Governor to convert the sitio into a township when the town of Bani was still a part of the province of Zambales. They evinced their desire to contruct a "visita" or chapel in the community. The Governor of Zambales then conducted an ocular inspection of the sitio. The town of Bani was founded later, on March 18, 1769. | Tangible-Immovable |

Banal na Krus ng Santa Catalina | Santa Catalina Holy Cross | Holy Cross | Region I | Santa Catalina | Ilocos Sur | Registered Property, Municipality of Santa Catalina, Ilocos Sur | In the 15th century, Ciudad Fernandina was under Spanish rule and Sta. Catalina was part of the ciudad. When the Spaniards sailed westward, they arrived at the sand dunes of Mindoro and Pantay (now Vigan City) overlooking the Govantes River. This river serves as the natural boundary of Vigan and Sta. Catalina. They noticed a small island lying across the river. They crossed the river with rafts and arrived at a place called "Cabittaogan." This place is called "Cabittaogan" because of the abundance of a tree species called "palomaria" or "bitaog" in local dialect. The Spanish forces planted a big wooden cross at the exact location where they rest. The cross is primarily the symbol of Christianity. It marks the Christianization of the inhabitants. It also serves as a symbol of conquering the place. No documentary evidence was found to show the exact date as to when the cross was planted. However, the fact that the cross still stands at the exact spot where it was planted remains, even after many centuries. The original cross was made of wood. Concrete was later added to reinforce the structure. It was covered with white paint and has just been repainted to make it look neat. The inscription on the cross was covered with cement which made the markings no longer visible. | Tangible-Immovable |

The Spanish forces could have run away or were subdued by the Katipuneros. The thirteen brave men died during the military encounter. This battle prompted the town’s independence from the Spanish colonial rule. At the time of the battle, a newly constructed church was burned down to cover the escape of a priest. This church was built through forced labor for several years. The structure was said to be the biggest church in Western Pangasinan. The town fiesta was set on March 7, to commemorate this historic battle yearly. However, the date of celebration was moved to March 27 for an unknown reason. _____ Sa lugar na ito nakipagbaka ang labintatlong martir ng bayan noong Marso 7, 1898 laban sa mga guwardiya sibil ng kolonyal na pamahalaan.

Like most municipalities, Bani has its own legend that is passed from generation to generation through oral tradition. San Simon is the old name of Bani. According to the legend, the image of the Imaculate Conception, the patron saint of the town has disappeared from the church altar. The people and Spanish authorities searched for it. It was then found on top of a tall Bani tree located in the vicinity of the present Roman Catholic church of Namagbagan. Subsequently, the image would mysteriously disappear on several ocassions. It will then be found on the same place. The townsfolk decided to leave their homes and to settle at the present site of Bani because of the mysterious phenomenon. From then on, they renamed the town "Bani" from the "Bani tree" where the image was miraculously found. _____ Nakalagay noon sa kinatatayuan ngayon ng altar ang dating puno ng Bani.
