Apayao - Finding the Spanish Church Ruins of Pudtol

Page was viewed times

The province of Apayao is formerly part of the larger province of Kalinga Apayao until it was divided into 2 separate provinces on February 14, 1995 under Republic Act No. 7878. It is one "off-the-beaten" destination that most travelers hardly visit. That's why when I got the chance to travel to Northern Luzon some time last year, I see to it that I include this province in my itinerary. We traveled for 4 hours from Laoag, Ilocos Norte to the sleepy town of Pudtol in Apayao in search for the Spanish Church Ruins.

Since the town of Bantay is just outside the Historic Heritage City of Vigan, we decided to just walk towards the town square. This leisurely walk brings back memories when I first set foot in Vigan, in 2004. It was a quick trip with my cousins, a time when analog cameras were still widely used and cellphone camera's resolution was only VGA. Hahaha! I'm happy to be back in Vigan, the capital City of the Province of Ilocos Sur known to be the only heritage city in the country.

After visiting Sta. Maria Church, we hailed an ordinary bus bound for Vigan, Ilocos Sur. It took us roughly 40 minutes to reach the town of Bantay where St. Augustine Parish is located. Though not part of Vigan, this church is a popular tourist destination for travelers visiting Vigan because it is actually one of the first things you will see before entering the heritage city. It wasn't my first time in Vigan, I've been there in 2004 but we missed to visit this church.
