Or, the town could be found at 120 Degrees 28 Minutes East and 16 Degrees 56 Minutes North with a land area of about 58.3 square kilometers and of about 6 meters above sea level.
In appearance, population and way of living it can pass for any other town in the islands where the automobile and other gadgets of science and inventions have not yet induced the inhabitants to live dangerously to any appreciable degree, according to the standard of a modern American community.
To a Tourist who gives the town a casual glance, Tagudin appears prosaic, dull, and trifle conceit. But to an Indio-Filipino who still retains the robust common sense of his ancestors who believed that peace and happiness come to those who have simple wants and simple taste, Tagudin is a place where one becomes a moment and a memory. For here, every man, woman, and child living within the compass of the town, are human beings worth knowing and greeting with affection and respect. To these simple folks, the Golden Rule is the golden mean of life, and honesty is the general rule, not the exception.
Every town has its features, be they be physical or psychological. Tagudin has been unique for having preserved entirely its distinctive features unmarred by the ravages of time and the elements including the enemy during the Japanese occupation. Here under are depicted the familiar profiles that set the heart of a Tagudinian a throb as he comes homeward bound.
2. The Sundials: Unique relics of Spanish seamanship and statesmanship, these los Cuadrantes still register inscrutable time and our geographic relativities to the earth poles. Built in 1841 to mark the civil administration of one Senor Don Cecilio Bunoan Castro in Tagudin by one Rdo. P. Don Juan Sorellas of the Augustinian Order. The time they register and the latitudes they tell us are still just the same.
3. The Church: A mute witness of the religiosity of a people for some 400 years; it is a second to none but only the diocesan cathedral of Vigan. Ever spec and span under the meticulous cared of the Belgian CICM Missionaries and the Belgian Sisters (SMSA) Missionaries of the Canonesses of Saint Augustine (same as our patron saint) or ICM today. Built in 1815 to 1819 under the direction of Don Francisco Hernandez, C.S.A., while Don Francisco Paulo then Don Eugenio Manuel Parpana were the gobernadorcillos respectively.
4. The Town Hall: One of the few public buildings on the scene of the operations not affected by the ravages of wars be the 1898 Revolution for Independence, nor the WWII. Built in 1860 under the administration of Don Narciso Encarnacion; burnt in 1886 by natural lightning during the time of one Antonio Mina; and rebuilt in 1891 under the regime of one Don Cipriano Valencia. Its style which is a medley bears the impress of the administrations of gobernadorcillos, capitanes, presidentes, and alcaldes. It was renovated with classical facade and asotea in 1960 while Don Salvador Valdez Manzano was the Alcalde Municipal.
5. The Public Market: Erected in 1922 under the administration of Don Antonino Villanueva, and since then until the decade 1960's, has been the traditional dance floor during fiesta celebrations that it has been often named - with that Tagudinians expertness at lexicography - "MARKETORIUM".
6. The Monuments, Dr. Jose Rizal's (1928) and Gen. Antonio Luna's (1934): Pet project of Ex-Presidente Mpal. Roman Marquez to whom posterity owe these legacies to the national honor and valor. They dominate the public plaza as their ideals should dominate the public conscience.
7. The Town Layout: Zonified in 1832 under the direction of one Fray Juan Sorella of the Augustinian Order until 1839 while the Brothers Manuels (Parpana) were the incumbent cabesas del pueblo as gobernadorcillos, according to our family griot.
8. The River Wall: The dike was built in 1893 under the administration of Don Justo Villanueva, the last gobernadorcillo of the town and the first Capitan Mpal. of Tagudin. It was unequal to the big flood of 1908 that inundated the town. It was rebuilt in 1910 under the administration of Don Apolonio Villanueva Acosta. It is almost two kilometers long. A mute witness of the youthful might of the Amburayan River in its in younger days.
9. The Amburayan Bridge: Reminds you that you are entering and leaving the province but its story is more than that for the bridge is intimately linked with the destinies of the Republic in the life of the late President Quirino way back during the ferry days. Built in 1927, the seven original spans never completely subdued the mighty Amburayan which always made easy prey of the annex at the south approach. In 1949 , three more spans were constructed making it one of the longest in north Luzon. The project was undertaken by the U.S. Roads and Highways at the time of Army Captain Jose L. Bunoan as the Alcalde Municipal.
10. The Artesian Wells: Some taste that our visitors will remember to remind them of the town due to our sulphuric moorings. But stay with us a week or two and you will learn to appreciate their medicinal properties. Built or installed during 1913-1916 while Don Pedro Bunoan Manzano was the Presidente Mpal., as sanitary measure, together with the street culverts, against epidemics during those years in the islands.
11. The Quirino Building: Formerly the Tagudin High School building built in 1929 on a site donated by, and during the incumbency of Don Felipe Lorenzana Paredes as Presidente Mpal. During the Japanese occupation in the islands, it was used as enemy garrison for which reason was burned by some people who thought the building had changed nationality.
12. The Gabaldon Building: Erected 1912 on a most ideal site, commanding a nice view of the whole town. It is on the hill just east of town. It was built during the Administration of Don Apolonio Villanueva Acosta.
13. The Lighthouse: Erected in 1910 during the incumbency of Don Apolonio Villanueva Acosta as Presidente Mpal., a barrio sprouted around it and was aptly named Farola. Its nightly beacons guide sea craft way up north as far as Tamorong and south down to Darigayos Point near Camp Spencer, home to USAFIP North Luzon where once Army Capt. Jose L. Bunoan was its Comdt. in 1944-45.
14. The Convento Building: Evidently the symbol of Spanish authority in the past. Its former hauteur has almost been subdued by the dignity imparted to it by the religious temper of its present occupants. Whereas it must have been so imposing and hostile, it has now become a symbol of humility, charity and tolerance.
15. The Grotto: A replica of the grotto at Lourdes, France. Attended by the tender hands of the Hijas de Maria that is almost their exclusive care. Scene of the nine-night wake in February. The lodestone of the faith and devotion of our numerous nuns.
16. The Plaza Auditorium: Built in 1973 during the tenure of Mr. Ricardo L. dela Cruz as municipal Mayor of Tagudin over the old volleyball-tennis court and the 1940 kiosk for open-air concerts built by Don Encarnacion as Commonwealth Mayor.
17. The Tagudin Justice Hall: Built in 1981 to house the sala and offices of Branch 25 of the Regional Trial Court for Southern Ilocos Sur. The unit office of the Commission on Audit and the Services of the Department of Agrarian Reform during the incumbency of Mr. Ricardo dela Cruz as mayor of the town.
18. The Tagudin Memorial Chapel: Erected in the 1960's by the UCCP to commemorate labors of the Protestant movement in the locality and its vicinities pioneered by the late Bishop Cecilio Lorenzana Paredes of the Evangelica Unida. Its spire that seems to want to reach the permanent of civility could be seen from afar reminding everyone the cultured spirituality of its member.
19. The Friars Building or SAS Boys Department: It was obviously the recluse of a Spanish dignitary. By its renovation with a second floor, it has lost its antique dignity but has gained the prestige as the alma mater of quite a number of illustrious sons and daughters. It served also as psychiatric wards during the battle for Bessang Pass in 1945 of the USAFIP North Luzon Base Hospital located in the entire plaza and patio.
20. The SAS Girls Dept. Building: Like the young women it accommodates, is a hidden beauty.
21. The Dutch Building: Houses SAS laboratory rooms and the elementary departments.
22. The Rectory that houses the Parish Curate, the Parish Council Room, and the Tagudin Credit Union Cooperative Union founded by the CICM Missionaries, Fr. Rick Cornette.
23. The WWII Battle Monuments: An iron plaque to commemorate the site of the USAFIP-NL Hospital located in front of the Town Hall; the battle marker in iron plaque to commemorate the opening salvo for the Battle of Bessang Pass at Bitalag Junction erected 1959 during the incumbency of army veteran Salvador M. Valdez as the alcalde of the town.
In ancient times, the sundial was called solarium. The Spaniards called it "el
cuadrante solar". Today, a quadrant is a kind of a measuring instrument, and a solarium meant a sunroom or balcony, a sunbath room or a healing place in convalescent homes.The sundial was one of the first devices used by ancient people to tell the time. Its face bore graduations, and figures marking hours, et cetera. It tells the time by means of the shadow cast by the sun's rays. Users included the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, and the Incas of the Americas.
"Besides the time of day it tells, our sundial in Tagudin also shows our Town's position on the globe as 16° 47' 30" latitude or altura del polo and 126° 45' 30" as longitude East or longitudal oriental, marked on either side East, West, respectively. The cuadrante is also directional and its pointers show true North. It is an oblique rectangular cube on two to three meter edifice. Its drooping dial face south while its opposite dial looks north, for use during the period from September 23 to March 22 on winter solstice, and on the period from March 22 to September 23 during summer solstice, respectively. The dials are traced square with the shadowed pointers at the centers of the top lines, and the radials trace accordingly to numerals 7 to 12 right, down gradually to the bottom line clockwise, and up from 1 to 5 to the left on its face to the north. While its drooping face to the south, its radials trace down accordingly to numerals 7 to 12 down, and 1 to 5 up counter-clockwise or from left to right, in Arabic. Some cuadrantes have its numerals in Roman numbers. According to history books, the sundials in Tagudin were the first ones made in the islands, or else, the first Philippine Sundials.
"The earliest known sundial still preserved is an Egyptian shadow clock dating from at least the 8th century B.C. The Greeks, and Romans constructed very complex sundials, and the Renaissance produced many beautiful designs. By the 19th century, clocks, and watches were so accurate that the sundials was used only as an ornament in gardens. But some specially designed for scientific purposes were made as late as the beginning of the 20th Century."
According to the late Don Fermin Batac, a local historian, the sundials in Tagudin were put up by the aid of a sextant by a learned Spanish friar named Reverendo Padre Don Juan Sorella, an Augustinian Missionary who decided to mark for posterity reasons the amiable and liberal civil administration done by and in gratitude to their local appointee R. Don Cecilio Bunoan Castro of Laoag, as a gobernadorcillo of Tagudin in A.D. 1841.
The aforementioned parish curate produced and erected the sundials, in a garden fronting the ancient Casa Tribunal Town Hall as a marker, as well as for use as time piece by the public and the people of Tagudin.
Besides this Edifice in the plaza, the learned curate made another sundial column, and posted in the backyard of the big Convento, west of the Sacristy for the Ecclesiastics in town.
Sometime on the 9th of October, 1909, the sundial at the Town Hall was renovated during the administration of D. Apolonio Villanueva Acosta.
When Fray Juan Sorella was transferred to the diocese or parish of Nueva Caseres in Naga, Camarines, the benevolent priest put up again another sundial for his parishioners and for his other missionaries in that town.
Only Tagudin, and Naga have the distinction of having the only Roman type of sundials in the Philippines. This is how we have come to posses such a rare edifice in the whole archipelago today.
