In my recent posts, I mentioned that I am an Igorot but then we live in Cervantes, which is within the Ilocos Region. I am a pure Igorot but then maybe you are asking why then am I in Ilocos? My father's family lives there while my lola (mother side) is also from a barangay of Cervantes, namely Aluling. My lolo (mother side) is from Tadian, Mt. Province. Some roots of my father came also from Aluling and Abatan Bauko, Mt. Province. I'm not really sure where is our ancestors came from but that's what I know. Why am I telling you these? it is to give you an overview why are we in Ilocos. It is because, as I heard from the stories, Aluling before was owned by Mountain Province, which is mainly an Igorot province, but agreements we're made and it was said that Aluling is still within the borders of Cervantes and that's how, at present, that Aluling is within the Ilocos Region.
