Abstract
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Amulung was officially founded on December 15, 1734 by Manuel Romero who was then alcalde mayor of the province. Romero gave an image of “Our Lady of Victory” to the inhabitants of the town, then a barrio of Iguig. It was enshrined in its first church built somewhere in 1746. Predominantly populated by the Ilocanos and Itawes, it is this municipality where quaint dialects are spoken. Some Spanish precede the Itawes translation so that the same sentence or question is substantially stated or asked twice.
Amulung is 26 kilometers north of Tuguegarao City and could be reached in 35 minutes by land transportation. It has 47 barangays and classified as a first (1st) class Municipality, covering an area of 24,220 hectares and populated by about 54,342 inhabitants.
The enactment od Republic Act 7160, otherwise known as the “local Government Code of 1991” extended the powers of the Local Government units to include not only the ability to create sources of funds, but also gave them total independence in managing, deciding and planning its own administrative and financial affairs in conformity with the National Government and thrust for sustainable social and economic development. Amulung is politically subdivided into 47 barangays. Each barangay consists of puroks while some have sitios.
