Situated near the Bangui Bay in Ilocos Norte, Bangui Windmill Farm is the right destination for tourists who want to explore the northern region.

Operated by the NorthWind Power Development Corporation, Bangui Wind Farm was born out of a study done in 1996. 22 years later, the windmill farm is still standing strong, providing 50% or 33 megawatts of Ilocos Norte’s electricity.

It was Southeast Asia’s largest wind farm until its next-door neighbor, the Burgos Wind Farm, took the title in 2014. Even with the title stripped, it still draws more tourists than the Burgos Wind Farm because of its accessibility.

Each windmill turbine has three vertical rotor blades standing 70 meters high above the shore. There are a total of 20 turbines arranged on a single row along the shoreline of the Bangui Bay just in front of the West Philippine Sea.

There are implications to capturing candid photos. The essence of street photography is authenticity and rawness. So many street photographers often avoid asking permission to take someone's photo before they hit the shutter.

First and foremost, check the laws where you are shooting. Within the United States and Canada, taking and using photographs of a person without their permission is completely legal unless it is for commercial use. Here is a great video by Sean Tucker having a conversation w

Marcos attended school in Manila and studied law in the late 1930s at the University of the Philippines, near that city. Tried for the assassination in 1933 of a political opponent of his politician father, Marcos was found guilty in November 1939. But he argued his case on appeal to the Philippine Supreme Court and won acquittal a year later. He became a trial lawyer in Manila. During World War II he was an officer with the Philippine armed forces. Marcos’s later claims of having been a leader in the Filipino guerrilla resistance movement were a central factor in his political success, but U.S. government archives revealed that he actually played little or no part in anti-Japanese activities during 1942–45.

Fort Ilocandia also has somewhat an interesting history. This hotel was built to house the guests for the wedding of then presidential daughter Irene Marcos to Greggy Araneta. It was said, that intensive pressure was placed to finish the hotel before the wedding. Here, guests entertained themselves before, during and even after the wedding.
