LGU-Santa

Santa is a municipality nestled in the central part of Ilocos Sur province in the Philippines. Bounded by natural borders, this municipality presents a gorgeous poetic setting: the ridge of Mount Tetas de Santa in the east; the winding Abra River and delta in the north and NW of Santa; and the South China Sea to the west. The river, the mountain and the sea contribute to its beauty, which made then Governor-General of the Philippines Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. on his visit in 1925 to say, “The mountain in the east, the winding roping river in the north, and the immense sea in the west make Santa a poetic town.”
