Laoag is the capital of Ilocos Norte Province in Philippines. The city is home to a population of about 100,000 residents and is the political and industrial hub of the province. In the native language, Laoag means the ‘place of light’.
The city has a tropical monsoon climate with two main seasons: wet and dry. The wet season extends from May to October, while the dry season dominates the period from November to April. Cyclones and typhoons are occasional occurrences.
Historically, Laoag was a flourishing trade centre for Chinese and Japanese traders. Today, apart from trading in rice, jewellery, metal crafts and other small-scale industries, it is also a major ecotourism centre.
