Sugpon is the southeastern-most town of the province of Ilocos Sur. It is one of the tiniest in terms of population, and it may be the biggest considering its total land area. It is the exit point of mountaineers who trek the ranges of Kibungan, Benguet. Electric posts rose along the streets in 1990, CNN and HBO came available on the chanel list 10 years later. Everyone knows everybody.
During the early years of the past decade, towers of Globe and Smart were erected one after the other, on top of the two mountains that surround the town. WiFi was introduced on the last quarter of 2011 (who would have thought?).
