KENNETH DEL CASTILLO TABIL. |
The following photos are some of the sunset photos I spotted on social media—taken by random Ilocano netizens from different barangays/towns of Ilocos Sur.
All photos taken on 26-July-2020 from different parts of Ilocos Sur.

| 2 | [SAN JUAN] ► ILOCOS SUR SUNSET TAKEN AT BRGY CAMINDOROAN, SAN JUAN BY ILOCANO NETIZEN AERONNE JOSEPH DELOS SANTOS. |
I think this is one of the most beautiful beach sunset photos I've seen on social media the other day. It was captured by a netizen from Camindoroan, San Juan, Ilocos Sur. San Juan is known for its calm waters. The beautiful sunset was well-reflected by San Juan's pristine coves and bays.

| 3 | [BANAYOYO] ► ILOCOS SUR SUNSET TAKEN AT BANAYOYO TOWN BY ILOCANO NETIZEN
AHMIE JHOY MANGIBAT. |
Banayoyo has no beach. It's an upland town in the second district of Ilocos Sur, but look! The Ilocos Sur-wide sunset phenomenon also created a spark in the quaint interior town of Banayoyo. Netizen Ahmie Jhoy captured the sunset, painting the sky over the rolling hills of Banayoyo.

| 4 | [SANTA] ► ILOCOS SUR SUNSET TAKEN AT BRGY MABILBILA SUR BY ILOCANO NETIZEN
ANGELA AMOR FEBRE. |
Let's check out the sky in Santa! Ilocano Netizen Angela Amor Febre shared her photo of the fiery sunset at Brgy Mabilbila Sur of Santa town with a remarkable silhouette.
 |
| 5 | [SANTIAGO] ► ILOCOS SUR SUNSET TAKEN AT BRGY AMBUCAO OF SANTIAGO TOWN BY ILOCANO NETIZEN
ANNALIZA MOLINA DOLLENTE. |
The Ilocano netizens of Santiago also witnessed this sunset phenomenon in the province. Annaliza shares her sunset photo taken at Brgy Ambucao in the town of Santiago. The gentle waters of Santiago mirrored the spectacular sky so well!
 |
| 6 | [SINAIT] ► ILOCOS SUR SUNSET TAKEN AT BRGY CABANGTALAN OF SINAIT TOWN BY ILOCANO NETIZEN ELHYSSE REYES. |
I wonder what the jellyfishes of Cabangtalan were doing when this sky appeared over the Cabangtalan waters that they inhabit? While we avoid the jellyfish stings of Cabangtalan, fret not. I would say that Cabangtalan cove is still one of the best places to watch sunset in Ilocos Sur.

| 7 | [VIGAN] ► ILOCOS SUR SUNSET TAKEN AT BRGY TAMAG OF VIGAN BY ILOCANO NETIZEN
ERWIN ROSARIO. |
So the netizens in the residential-commercial barangay of Tamag also have their share. Look at this gorgeous photo of a house in Tamag with the beautiful rays by Erwin Rosario.

| 8 | [SANTIAGO] ► ILOCOS SUR SUNSET TAKEN AT SANTIAGO BY ILOCANO NETIZEN
FLORO MAMACLAY. |
I don't mind concentrating this collection with Santiago sunsets. I mean, who would ditch the popular and "sosyal" cove of Sabangan? If you are an Ilocos Surian, you know these beaches are somehow part of our memories and our lives. This Santiago sunset photo of netizen Floro Mamaclay is another dope!
 |
| 9 | [SANTA] ► ILOCOS SUR SUNSET TAKEN AT SANTA BY ILOCANO NETIZEN
GEMART FRANZ CARDENAS. |
Wait. Is this in Pasungol or Rancho? It's been a while since I visited the island barangays of Santa situated at the mouth of Abra River. Regardless of its location, this photo of Ilocano Netizen Gemart Franz Cardenas was so creatively captured as he mixed three elements: sunset, bridge, delta waters—also the three things that Santa is also for (aside from 'ipon' of course).

| 10 | [SINAIT] ► ILOCOS SUR SUNSET TAKEN AT SALLACAPO, SINAIT BY ILOCANO NETIZEN
IYANA JOYY. |
Look at those huge and powerful light rays! What a grand display of art over Brgy Sallacapo! I'm speechless for this immense and thick fiery light.

| 11 | [SANTIAGO] ► ILOCOS SUR SUNSET TAKEN AT SABANGAN, SANTIAGO BY ILOCANO NETIZEN
JACKIE AGBULOS. |
Look! Ilocano netizen Jackie Agbulos captured the trending sunset at the most expensive beach cove in Ilocos Sur—the Santiago Cove, home to the Vitalis Villas. As usual, Santiago Cove doesn't disappoint.

| 12 | [CABUGAO] ► ILOCOS SUR SUNSET TAKEN AT BACLIG, CABUGAO BY ILOCANO NETIZEN
JASMINE LUISA VENTURA NAVAL-CASTILLO. |
Another inspiring 07-26-2020 sunset phenomenon was captured by a netizen from Baclig, Cabugao! The remarkable rays illuminated the rich neighborhood of Baclig.

| 13 | [SANTA CATALINA] ► ILOCOS SUR SUNSET TAKEN AT PARATONG, SANTA CATALINA BY ILOCANO NETIZEN
JOANA RAGSAG RAFANAN |
This photo captured by Joana was very similar to the cover photo I featured. The two photos were probably taken at the same time since both were taken at Santa Catalina's beach.
 |
| 14 | [VIGAN] ► ILOCOS SUR SUNSET TAKEN AT SAN PEDRO, VIGAN BY ILOCANO NETIZEN
JULIUS CESAR CUARESMA |
Barangay San Pedro in Vigan belongs to the same line of black sand beach that extends up to Santa Catalina, so I expected that this photo would look the same compared to the cover photo (Santa Catalina beach sunset). They were taken from different places but with the same features. This sunset is omnipresent!

| 15 | [CAOAYAN] ► ILOCOS SUR SUNSET TAKEN AT PANTAY TAMORONG, CAOAYAN BY ILOCANO NETIZEN
MARK ALLEN DEL PILAR |
Let's go to Caoayan! In the fertile plains of Pantay Tamorong, netizen Mark Allen Del Pilar captures the trending sunset with this model on his motorbike. What a great opportunity to save great memories with the great trending sunset!

RAINE MERYLL BRYNEE YADAO |
The beauty of Teppeng, home to the beautiful Teppeng Cove of Sinait, also has its share for this sunset phenomenon that happened in Ilocos Sur the other day.

I'm not yet done. Check out this photo by Chevette Macalma taken at Brgy Pussuac in Sto Domingo. I also picked this photo to give you a perspective on how Ilocano netizens saw the trending sunset from the comfort of their home. This photo shows as the subtle beauty of the sunset as Chevette watches it decorate the sky while chilling at home.

| 20 | [VIGAN] ► ILOCOS SUR SUNSET TAKEN AT AMIANANCE, VIGAN BY ILOCANO NETIZEN
SALVADOR SANCHEZ |
To end this listicle, let's go back to the laid back Vigan! During the pandemic, Vigan reclaimed a long rest from the tourist crowd. Devoid of tourist crowd, netizen Salvador Sanchez shared his photo of Brgy Amiance in Vigan. Brgy Amianance is home to several dozens of ancestral houses in Vigan outside the popular Calle Crisologo. What's amazing in Amianance is that the ancestral houses are occupied by real residents, not by commercial stores. The beautiful sunset made this barangay in Vigan even more nostalgic and meaningful.
How about you? Were you able to document the sunset in your town? 💚
