Album Info:

(DSC04737) Paoay Municipality in Ilocos Norte: "PAOAY" was derived from the phrase, "makapaway kami", which literally means, “We can live alone”. When the early settlers were frequently attacked by the "tirongs" (or Moro pirates), they were forced to move eastward into higher ground. In their settlement site, they discovered that they have friendly neighbors, in what is now called Batac town. Believing that the "tirongs" are still a threat to the new settlers, their neighbors convinced them to seek refuge in their place. The new settlers begged off, and bravely replied, "makapaway kami"! Through the passage of time, the place was eventually and permanently called "Paoay".
