Balaoan
Welcome to Balaoan, town of 2 prominent Senators (Camilo Osias and Magnolia Antonino), former part of Ilocos Sur, and home of the Pink Tricycles! Huwaaat?? Pink? The gods must be crazy.
Anyway.. Balaoan of La Union is my hometown… i was born here in Manila, but when my parents settled, they decided to raise our family in Balaoan. I basically grew up in Balaoan, studied and graduated Elementary and High School.
Though i’m now based here in Manila, my home will still be Balaoan. I still hope to retire in that town, raising my own family and grandchildren in the future.
Just a little trivia. 
Below are some images of this beautiful town:
