A TOUR IN ILOCOS

 INTRODUCTION
A place where nature and history collide, Ilocos is truly a great place to visit. From the
historical streets of Vigan to the great formations of sand dunes in Paoay, Ilocos is near to
perfection when it comes to rest and recreation. Region 1 was first inhabited by the aboriginal
Negritoes before they were pushed by successive waves of Malay/Austronesian immigrants that
penetrated the narrow coast. Tingguians in the interior, llocanos in the north, and Pangasinense
in the south settled the region. From the data on the population distribution of Region 1, it is
clear that not all the inhabitants are llocanos. Around one-third are non-llocanos and yet there is
a popular misconception that all the inhabitants are llocanos.

The use of the term llocos Region promotes the wrong notion that all the residents of
Region 1 are llocanos. Before the administration of Ferdinand Marcos, Pangasinan was not a part
of the region. The Spanish arrived in the 16 th century and established Christian missions and
governmental institutions to control the native population and convert them to the Roman
Catholic Church. Present-day Vigan City in llocos Sur province became the bishopric seat of
Nueva Segovia.

Ilocanos in the northern parts were less easily swayed, however, and remained an area
filled with deep resentments against Spain. These resentments bubbled to the surface at various
points in the llocos provinces’ history as insurrections, most notably that of Andres Malong and
Palaris of Pangasinan, Diego Silang and his wife Gabriela Silang in 1764, and the Basi Revolt in
the 19th century. However, it was the Pangasinenses in the south who were the last to be stand
against the Spaniards. In 1901, the region came under American colonial rule, and in 1941, under
Japanese occupation.

During 1945, the combined American and the Philippine Commonwealth troops
including with the llocano and Pangasinese guerillas liberated the llocos Region from Japanese
forces during the Second World War. Several modern presidents of the Republic of the
Philippines hailed from the Region: Elpidio Quirino, Ferdinand Marcos, and Fidel V. Ramos.
Before the formation of the Cordillera Administrative Region, Region 1 also included the
provincesof Abra, Mountain Province, and Benguet. Before Region 1 was modified by
Ferdinand Marcos, Pangasinan was not part of the region.
