(1)

The City of Santiago is heading towards becoming a key city in the Philippines. From its humble beginning of being just a small native settlement along the banks of a river, Santiago evolved into a Pueblo, reverted back to being a barangay of Echague, became a full-pledged municipality in 1910 until it finally became an independent component city in 1994. In 1998, it was transformed into a Compone

nt City and later through a historic Supreme Court decision, regained its original status as an Independent-Component City. Corollary to its political status of being the first city in Region II is its phenomenal economic growth, which can be traced as far as the Spanish and American periods where its economy started to flourish through the Cagayan River, which provided the main migration and trading routes. After the war, reparations of war damages made way for more development, the most notable of which was the construction of the Pan American Highway including one of the major components, which is the steel arch Calao Bridge. Reciprocating its great strides in infrastructure and utility development is its geographic centrality with respect to the different towns and provinces of Region II and the different neighboring regions as well. Forming a proverbial infinite tie, the three (3) major roads that converge at the urban area practically polarized and shaped the city to become what it is today known as the FASTEST GROWING ECONOMY in Region II. It is now being groomed as an agricultural center and the Commercial Haven of the North.

The National Costume of Miss Isabela: DIVINE SPIRIT OF IKAPATI IN FULL BLOOM.

IKAPATI | Giver of Life & Harvest

From the fertile lands of Isabela comes the legend of Ikapati, goddess of fertility and protector of cultivated fields. Hidden behind towering bamboo grass, she once fell for a mortal man, and from their love came a being unlike any other—mystical, ever-watchful, and born from both earth and sky. This guardian, the Bambanti, emerged in her place when Ikapati vanished, watching over farmers and fields as a symbol of love, sacrifice, and divine purpose.

This national costume pays homage to Isabela—the agricultural heartland of the Philippines.
