Place: Vigan Public Market (City of Vigan, Ilocos Sur)
Date: 25 May 2008
All of us wanted to buy longganisa (sausage), so it was a must that we pass by Vigan Market. Aunt Julie and I were hoping we could buy longganisa in Laoag (we were told that although they look quite similar, the sausages from two […]

Place: Garlic Stand (Pinili, Ilocos Norte)
Date: 25 May 2008
The night before, there were arrangements made that we would all drop by Laoag City public market to buy garlic because Tita Letty somebody gave her some garlic from Laoag that costed only 40 pesos per kilo. In La Union, it’s 160 pesos per kilo, so all […]

Place: Magapit Bridge (Lal-lo, Cagayan)
