Governor Joy Bernos opens Abra to the world

Abra may not be the first destination that comes to mind when one thinks of exploring the northern region of the Philippines, but thankfully, more tourists are unraveling the air of mystery surrounding this underrated gem of a province up north.

There is so much to discover in Abra, which boasts of beautiful tourist attractions, one-of-a-kind Abel fabrics, and the merriest festivals that should be on every traveler’s bucket list. As proof of its festival-loving culture—they have at least seven major ones—Abra just concluded its centennial celebration that lasted almost two weeks, led by the province’s mother, Governor Joy Valera- Bernos.
