The history of Diego Silang

Caba is considered the birthplace of Diego Silang, a revolutionary leader of the Ilocos uprising against Spain.

Festivals in June and December

Another calendar-based occasion is Paskua Ti Umili: Caba holds the festival every year in December during the Christmas season.

If a festival is a deciding factor in your trip, check locally in advance for the current program.
