This legend forms a part of the living culture and the richness of the traditional oral literature not just in this little village but also in the rest of the Ilocandias.
Β» Once upon a time, there were two giants who inhabited the planet named Angalo and Aran. These two giants were believed to be the first two inhabitants of the planet.
Β» When we arrived in Palang, no one could help me go near the footprint.οΏΌ
In the presence of modern technology, under a digital ecosystem where children engage the world through digital citizenship, I reached a quiet village engulfed by mountains and isolated by a great river. The village is called Brgy Palang which could be accessed by crossing the Abra River in the town of San Quintin in the province of Abra. From this village, you could visualize a...

I thought that it was already the end of the journey as we reached the end of the road in Barangay Poblacion. This great river seemed like a predicament in pursuing this ride adventure in 2012. It was a peaceful place, yet it's also a beautiful obstacle in our pursuit to explore this town.

I checked out the gasoline meter of my motorbike. It was close to draining. Oh no! There was no gasoline station nearby; and as far as I remember, the closest gasoline station I was aware of in 2012 was about 15 minutes away.
...they don't want you to intrude to their "territories." So people under suspicion of spying or destabilizing has no room in their territory. As someone from Ilocos Sur, the western neighbor of Abra, I also felt that way in 2012.
I introduced myself that I want to know what are the tourist spots or interesting places to see in San Quintin, until he told me that there is no tourism officer in the town.
