Burgos, officially the Municipality of Burgos (Ilocano : Ili ti Burgos; Filipino : Bayan ng Burgos) is a 4th class municipality in the province of Ilocos Sur, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 12,793 people. [3]
Burgos is 43 kilometres (27 mi) from Vigan City and 374 kilometres (232 mi) from Manila.
Burgos got its name from Father José Burgos, a member of the martyred Gomburza priests and a native of Ilocos Sur.
Burgos came into existence in 1831 when Father Bernardino Logo was able to convert many natives into the folds of Christianity. The resulting town became Nueva Coveta. It was envied by its neighbors because of its peace and order, as well as its progress, since it sold its resulting products in places as far as Pangasinan and Tarlac.
Burgos became a township of Santa Maria in the latter period of Ilocos Sur's Spanish era. It was later named in honor of Father José Burgos.
Burgos is politically subdivided into 26 barangays, or neighborhoods. [5] Each barangay consists of puroks and some have sitios.
