Ilocos Norte: Sunset At Cape Bojeador


The perfect place to see the sunset when your around Ilocos Region. According to our guide Kuya Lawrence, the sun last sets in Ilocos Norte. Just notice the picture of our group below and see the magical effect of the sunset that brings an eerie feeling to the picture...it looks like it was taken a century ago!


(Cape Bojeador is facing the ocean where the sun sets) 

Before, when I still had not seen any sunset or sunrise in another place, I used to think that I'm more of a sunrise person but when I saw sunset at Cape Bojeador and compared it with the sunrise in Mt. Apo a month after, I decided that I love sunsets more. There is just something about the sun kissing the ocean and its bright-dark yellow color. It may look like or may seem like an ending, for sunsets are often associated with endings...for me, it is not. It is like, you know the day has ended and then darkness is near but deep down, you also knew that it's not the end, that there is hope in sunsets, though the sun had set, you knew that in the next day it will rise again.

 In that very moment, that's the moment that we feel hope and should ponder upon ourselves and think about our life through the night and know that there will always be hope that comes through sunsets 'til its sunrise.
