Naguilian

Naguilian is a municipality of the Philippines in the province of La Union. Its official website presents the town under the banner "Home of the Original Basi" and provides municipal information, services, and governance updates. The site lists Hon. Reynaldo J. Flores as Municipal Mayor and Hon. Abraham P. Rimando as Municipal Vice Mayor.

The official website of Naguilian states that the town was originally part of Bauang in the province of Pangasinan, and that its name derived from the Iloko phrase "Nag-ili-an dagiti gan-ganaet", meaning "a place where people from other places come to stay". It adds that the name was formed from the Iloko root word "ili" meaning "town", later modified as "NAGUILIAN", and that its separation from Bauang coincided with the centennial celebration of the Catholic Church of Naguilian in 1839. According to the same source, when La Union was created by a Royal Decree in 1850, Naguilian was one of the twelve towns that comprised the province.
