Tugot ni Angalo is located in Kabaruyan, San Quintin, Abra, Philippines. The name translates to “Footprints of Angalo,” Angalo being the Adam or First Man in Abra mythology. Locals believe that Tugot ni Angalo is the set of footprints of a real giant in San Quintin. The set measures around 15 meters long, five meters wide, and ten feet deep. On a clear day, it can be seen visibly even from a distance.

Did you know that the province of Abra has their own Adam and Eve? Angalo and Aran are believed to be the first man and woman of Earth, similar to Adam and Eve, in Abra Mythology. They were giants who roamed Ilocos region in search for each other. As Angalo continue his endless search for his love his footfalls became heavier because of lonely heart thus leaving foot prints on the region, he sometimes even knelt down to drink water from the springs where he left his footprints.   Read More: https://chasingculprit.blogspot.com/2016/07/abra-mythology-tugot-ni-angalo.html

“This is considered by the people of San Quintin as their greatest tourist attraction that tourists may not even want to see because of remoteness and of the lack of tourists’ knowledge about this Ilocano myth that exists in this Cordillera province of Abra.”

In this part of the country, hidden by the mountains, there exists the most legendary footprint of all the legendary footprints of Angalo. The thing here is that many people are aware of the story of Angalo and Aran (characters of an Ilocano myth) but few are knowledgeable of the existence of this footprint maybe because it is just hidden, inaccessible and very impractical to visit if your purpose is only to see this (unless you are a fanatic of mysteries, legends and local folklore).  Read More:  http://www.edmaration.com/2012/10/tugot-ni-angalo.html
