My wife is from Baguio and is Ibaloi/Kankanee. Her native dialect is Ilocano though.

I guess she's a Genuine Igorota?

She'll be joining me in Olympia, Washington hopefully by Christmas.

Yes, she is indeed a Genuine Ilocana. I have a friend who is from Baguio City and she is Ilocana.

I'm proud to say that my groom to be in California was born and raised in Ilocos Sur.

My wife is from Laoag too. What Brgy are you from. Sorry I dont speak Ilocano, even though I live in Hawaii and most of my friends are FBI. There are many Ilocanos here, esp here on Kauai. I guess half the Island is Filipino and 90% are Ilocano. So my wife has no culture shock here. In fact at times, I have the culture shock here.

I was born and raised in the town proper and now I reside in Metro Manila where I work. I got lots of relatives in Waipahu in Oahu, they say there are lots of GI or FBI there too. Yeah, I'm pretty sure your wife will never miss the Philippines there in Kauai. I think you'll be the one who will be lost in the maddening crowd ... Mahalo & aloha!
