The Ilocos coast people whose Ilocano nation produced Ferdinand Marcos and Gabriela Silang from the same soil, exported more overseas workers per capita than any Philippine region, and built UNESCO-listed Vigan, Asia's best-preserved town.
Ilocano people — an Austronesian-speaking nation of the Ilocos Region whose resource-scarce homeland between the Cordillera and the South China Sea forged a cultural ethos of legendary frugality and outward migration, their diaspora reaching Hawaii's sugar plantations in the early 20th century and every continent since. Gabriela Silang's 1763 command of the Ilocano revolt after her husband's assassination — making her the Philippines' most celebrated female revolutionary — and Vigan's UNESCO cobblestone cityscape define an Ilocano heritage of beauty and defiance in equal measure. This interactive sweatshirt connects you to that Ilocos coast legacy and Ilocano Filipino heritage with a QR code linking to the full story.
