Bangui, Ilocos Norte

These defenders called themselves Bangi which is abundant in the coastal settlements, a name that was later adopted by Spanish authorities as the official designation of the municipality.[5] In 1572, Spanish conquistador Juan de Salcedo led an expedition to Northern Luzon to pacify the local population.Upon his arrival in the area, Salcedo and his men introduced Western culture and Christianity, resulting in the construction of churches, some of which remain standing to this day.Fernandez organized local residents into vigilant groups to defend against Moro pirates, who frequently raided coastal settlements.They also introduced public education, established barrios, and developed a lumber industry in Baruyen, where gold, asbestos, and manganese were mined.[10] Today, Bangui continues to thrive as a municipality with its unique history and cultural heritage preserved through the generations.Poverty incidence of Bangui Source: Philippine Statistics Authority[17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] Bangui, belonging to the first congressional district of the province of Ilocos Norte, is governed by a mayor designated as its local chief executive and by a municipal council as its legislative body in accordance with the Local Government Code.
