From Manaoag, I rode a tricycle to the sleepy town of Pozzorubio. There are no jeepneys going to Pozorrubio. I can’t recall how much I pay.
St Jude Thaddeus Parish Church (SJTP) is the main Roman Catholic church at the heart of the town. Nearby you can find the plaz and Municipal hall. There’s also an old ancestral house nearby which I later found out to belong to the Jovellanos-Venezuela clan.
Pozorrubio is sometimes misspelled as Pozzorubio.
