I wasn't sure if the focus was the animals for the Governor. Tons of photos of him and his African hunting. His name on tents, etc. Zoo poor, self promotion even poorer.

Make sure you drop in this place whenever you will visit Ilocos as it is worth coming here. Though they said free entrance but they will tell you to give a small amount for donation/ maintenance. Not bad for kids especially my 4 year old son loves the Animals so much.

There were a lot of renovation works during the time I visited here. It was extremely hot.. And I kind of feel sorry for the animals as they were probably feeling the heat too.

I saw a Camel near the exit to this zoo. Unfortunately it was caged so not a lot of people could see it.

The old lion was also thirsty due to the heat.

It would probably be a good idea to keep the animals hydrated during the Philippine summer months.
