-my pagnapagna-

Still at Poblacion Uno, Currimao, Ilocos Norte, from the old watchtower, under the heat of the noon sun, we walked to the nearby Tabacalera ruins.

It is a fenced area wherein there were some 2 to 3 residential houses inside. There were also some mounds of sand beside the ruins. It must be a "sand and gravel" business thing.

After asking permission from one of the residents, I went near and inside the structure.

Made generally of bricks, the structure is now roofless. Its walls are strengthened with exterior buttresses and can be mistaken as a church.

The structure is also included in the list of pending cultural properties for consideration for declaration as Important Properties or National Cultural Treasures by the National Museum for 2016.
