A Journey to Remember in Bagulin

      Lorma Colleges conducted its yearly outreach program in Tagudtud, Bagulin, La Union. Going to Bagulin is very adventurous and exciting activity itself what more if you reach its peak. Bagulin is a 5th class municipality but it is very rich in nature. They're so many tourists spots and treasures that Bagulin has.  

      I think this is the longest hanging bridge in La Union. This hanging bridge is a just a walk away from the Municipal hall of Bagulin, La Union. This is a big help to the folks.

      I don't know the exact length of this hanging bridge but we took time in walking it through the other side. Over the hanging bridge you can see the stunning mountains filled with trees. Trees were very green and its like a group of bundled broccoli. Down the hanging bridge, you can see the refreshment of the river and rock formations.

      The Bagulin Municipal hall is just beside the basketball court where some of jeepneys park. We have to ride in a jeepney to be able to reach Tagudtud.

 We prefer to ride on top of the jeepney so that we will witness the beauty of nature. It's already past 9 in the morning and the rays of the sun getting hotter.

The ride going to Tagudtud from Bagulin town proper takes 1 hour. The way is narrow and very dangerous. Along the way you can see the beautiful arts of nature. 

   Were here already. They were the students of Tagudtud Elementary School. The dialect usually used by folks in Bagulin were ilokano and kankanaey.
