Sinait Ilocos Sur

1. Sinait's church is the Sanctuary of the Miraculous Statue of the Black Nazarene, fondly called by its residents as "Apo Lakay."

 History traces the statue to Nagasaki, Japan. It was sent floating in the sea by missionaries operating in secret in Japan (for fear of persecution). It was found by local fishermen in the shores of Barangay Dadalaquiten. Fishermen from the nearby town of Badoc (in present-day Ilocos Norte) tried moving the box, but were unable to do so. Only fishermen from Sinait were able to move the box, which contains the Statue of the Black Nazarene. The fishermen from Badoc, however, were able to move a box containing a Statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary--which was, in turn, unable to be moved by the fishermen of Sinait. They took the statues to their respective towns, hence becoming their patron saints. Today the landing site of Apo Lakay still exists in Barangay Dadalaquiten, and is a place of pilgrimage for devotees.

Ilocos Best Spots Unlimited

Most people are going to Ilocos as they find this province a one stop for many tourists’ spots like Blue Lagoon, Maira-ira Beach, Bangui Windmills, Saud Beach, Pagudpud, Cape Bojeador Lighthouse, Fort Ilocandia, Sand Dunes of Ilocos and Paoay Church as well as Patapat Viaduct.

1. Blue Lagoon was a secret beach before but lately been explored by many tourists as the beauty never stops there. It is different as the sand is not entirely white but off white grainy that was similar to Boracay’s Boat Station 3. Unlike in any other beaches, the underwater floor is deep but purely sand. Tourists are excited on the option of renting a water cottage and enjoy diving in your own booth. 

Bangui Windmills

2. In Bangui bay, the latest attraction is the 23 storey’s high Giant electric Fans where people love to take pictures and act like there was a pictorial going on. You can best catch the sunset here in Bangui Windmills.

Saud Beach in Pagudpud

3. Saud Beach in Pagudpud is one of the most famous spot in Ilocos. The quality of water is clean and inviting, the gradient waves is very good for a thrill swimming so make sure that kids wear their life vest for security. And one tip is to be careful with jelly fish.

Burgos Lighthouse

4. Cape Bojeador is also known as Burgos Lighthouse. You can overlook South China Sea on the top of the hill as this Faro de Cabo Bojeador was set in. The lantern in the light house or what they call “cupola” is made of bronze surrounded with glass panes whereas the other hand supports a ball shaped flue that exhausts smoke from the flame of the original gaslight.

San Agustine Church in Paoay

5. Ilocos is a very historical place as the The San Agustine Church in Paoay is one of the Baroque Churches in the Philippines and considered as World Heritage Site that you can witness there. 

Ilocos was extraordinary as this is the only place in Philippines wherein you can find desert in the endless coastal sand dunes of Suba. Most people find this place for meditation and reflection.

Fort Ilocandia

6. Lastly, Fort Ilocandia is the only high rated hotels in Ilocos Norte as these were constructed by the Marcos Family. The place is very amusing as the structures are high class and expensive. There is also a mini-zoo with interesting animals that can be enjoyed by kids. Families will also enjoy the Olympic size pool in this resort. The Suba beach is directly in front of the said resort. You can still enjoy the view even though the dark grey sand and rough waves discourage people to swim there.

Review: Driclor antiperspirant for Treatment of Excessive Sweating

During the summer months I suffer from UA excessive sweating(nakakahiya)… I've tried  all sorts of deodorants and  didn’t work for me.  Kahit tag-lamig talagang mayroon pa rin.  I researched what were the remedies sa excessive sweating..Mayroong nagsabing botox injections works for 4-8 months…As far as I remember nasa 25k per 100 units and it will last from 4-8 months… Errrr saan naman ako kukuha ng ganung halaga kada walong buwan?

Then I came across sa isang forum, nabasa ko yung review ng DRICLOR. I immediately ordered sa ebay, nagtanung tanung kasi ako sa Watsons at Mercury Drugs wala silang stocks. After 3 weeks of waiting dumating yung order ko from UK...

Ginamit ko siya ng three consecutive days, finally nawala na yung excessive sweating. I highly recommend this product.

Tips ko lang para sa mga nagwoworry tungkol sa Black underarm, use alcohol and calamansi sa daytime para sa regular deodorant… Wag nalang gumamit ng mga roll-on.

Directions for Use:

• SEE LEAFLET FOR ASSEMBLY AND APPLICATION.
• When using Driclorfor the first time, it should be used once a day, last thing at night. The reason for this being that your sweat glands are least active at this time, this should prevent sweating during the day.
• Driclormust be applied to completely dry skin at night time and then washed off in the morning and not re-applied. Normal deodorant can be used as usual.
• When the excessive sweating has stopped during the day, cut down to using Driclor just tiwce a week or less.

Cautions and Warning:

• Always read the label/leaflet.
• Must be applied to DRY skin.
• If you notice any side effects not listed in the leaflet, consult your GP.
• Do not use if allergic to any of the listed ingredients.
• Do not use a double a dose to make up for a forgotten one.
• Do not use on sensitive, irritated or wounded skin.
• Driclor can stain clothes, so allow to dry before coming into contact with clothing.
• Avoid contact with jewellery and metal surfaces as Driclor can discolour such objects.
• Avoid contact with eyes, lips and mouth.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Ingredients:

• Aluminium Chloride Hexahydrate (20% w/w or 185mg/ml)
• Ethyl Alcohol and Purified Water.
