Historical Landmarks of Northern Samar
The Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Northern Samar, presided by Vice Governor Atty. Antonio P. Lucero, recently passed an ordinance authored by 2nd Dist. Board Member Albert A. Lucero, declaring seven churches and two lighthouses as historical landmarks of the Province of Northern Samar.
The historical landmarks are the Roman Catholic Churches of Bobon, Catarman, Catubig, Capul, Laoang, Pambujan and the ruins of the Palapag Church. While the Lighthouse of Batag in Laoang and the Lighthouse in San Luis, in Capul Island were also declared as Provincial Historical Landmarks.
On the island of Batag, in Laoang town sits an old American-era lighthouse, which was an important beacon for ships coming in from the open Pacific and moving towards the San Bernardino Strait. Capul Island is also topped by a Spanish lighthouse and the sea surrounding the island is littered with dozens of sunken Spanish galleons, some laden with silver and treasure.
Provincial Board Member Lucero noted that the province of Northern Samar is rich in culture and heritage and that it has historical landmarks as the evidenced by the centuries old churches and lighthouses.
In passing the ordinance the legislators of Northern Samar cited Section 16 of the Local Government Code of 1991 which provides that "every local government unit shall exercise the powers expressly granted, those necessarily implied therefrom, as well as powers necessary, appropriate, or incidental of its efficient and effective governance, and those which are essential to the promotion of the general welfare.

Maupay Nga Adlaw!
Good day to you dear reader! I can see in the traffic stats for this blog that most of the traffic comes from abroad, particularly the US and Canada, Europe and Australia. Probably, you're all Nortehanons homesick of your hometown.
As an added treat, you can email me at northernsamar@gmail.com to ask for requests of a place to have a story from complete with photos of that place, if possible.
Meanwhile, a friend who lives not outside the Philippines but still pretty far, Manila in actuality, wants to see the famed huge house in Pambujan near the beach, unfinished till now, that she heard of owned by a Pambujanon married to a Canadian. Here are the photos, i hope the owners won't mind though.
