An art photograph on canvas entitled Lola Ingga’s Tapuey by Bryan Rapadas was purchased by no less than the Honorable Imee Marcos, Governor of Ilocos Norte. The governor has been staunchly promoting the arts and culture of the province and that she wanted these art pieces be showcased in her humble office. This particular canvas photograph is now strategically hanging in the wall of the governor’s office.

The members of The Ilocandia Photographic Society (TIPS) were invited in the year 2010 in the town of Adams to shoot its tourism sites.
