At the Beginning

(Richard Marx, Donna Lewis)

We were strangers, starting out on a journey

Never dreaming, what we'd have to go through
Now here we are, I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you

No one told me I was going to find you

Unexpected, what you did to my heart
When I lost hope, you were there to remind me
This is the start

And life is a road that I wanna keep going

Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey

I'll be there when the world stops turning

I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

We were strangers,
on a crazy adventure

Never dreaming, how our dreams would come true

Now here we stand, unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you

And life is a road that I wanna keep going

Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey

Region I: Ilocos Region Hymn

From the mountains and the rivers
Thro the plains and winding trails
To the shores where breezes linger
That's the place I love so well

It's the home of men who loved her

Men who died to keep us free
Men who toiled tho' bad the weather
That in want we'll never be

[Chorus:]
Region 1, Oh Region 1
There's no better place I see
Region 1, Oh Region 1
Dearest home by far to me

From her care I learn my lessons

In her vales I work and play
She has kept me safe and happy
As I live on day by day

Tho' to other lands I wander

As I search for wealth and fame
In my heart I will remember
Region 1 beloved name

Repeat [Chorus:]

Tho' to other lands I wander

As I search for wealth and fame
In my heart I will remember
Region 1 beloved name

INCAT HYMN
Hail to thee our most beloved INCAT
Thy sons and daughters pledge loyalty
To thee, Alma Mater dear
Forever and 'er we're ready to dare
Uphold thy banner with glorious fame
Hail to thee our most beloved INCAT
Our solemn oath and our sincere pledge
We'll sing with praise to be true forever.

ASEAN Hymn
(ASEAN Song of Unity)

ASEAN, oh ASEAN,
Our voices rise as one,
From land to land, from sea to sea,
Reach out for everyone.
ASEAN, oh ASEAN,
Let's link our arms and stand,
Behold the sun has risen to,
The level of our eyes.
Behold the sun has risen to,
The level of our eyes.
We Shout Laoag
Music by Nhick Ramiro Pacis
Lyrics by Erwin Suguitan

There’s always a special place for special people

a place of unending fun and adventure
a new world of experience, a new world of dreams
they call it Laoag where a fiesta of excitement begins
There’s always a place where u can catch the sun
a place where color, beauty, and grace have never gone
pleasant by day, enchanting by night
They call it Laoag a world so brilliant and vibrant

[Chorus:]
C’mon and join us everyone before the night is gone
and shout Laoag, we say Laoag
What more reason to celebrate
what wonderful dreams and perfect things we create
We shout Laoag, we say Laoag

…. now u can see ours is a world of pleasure

A world that’s kissed by god and nature
A world that’s easy to embrace and yet so difficult to forget
But one thing’s certain, you’ll never regret..
