HISTORY OF PARAISO TI CARIBQUIB
 
by Flordelina B. Utleg, April 25, 2011
 
The Paraiso ti Caribquib is situated in Sitio Daramuangan. It is three kilometers (3 km) away west from the National Highway.  When HON. ADONIS B. MANUEL was still a Kagawad, he saw children always taking a bath in the dam. The dam was concreted in 1986 through the help of the Municipal Mayor, Hon. Carlito N. Abadilla. Water is coming from the falls.
 
When he was elected as Brgy. Chairman in the year 2007, it came to his mind to develop the place to make it a tourist spot. He called a meeting and he told his plans to the Brgy. Officials.  So, they decided to go on with their plans.  They were thinking what was  the best name for the place.  Everybody suggested names and they had chosen the name - Paraiso ti Caribquib because it is only the mountainous part of the barangay.  The dam is in between the two mountains.  At the southern part of the dam, the people can stay under the trees. Barangay folks are very cooperative in developing the place and after few months they had already put up four small cottages and one big cottage.
After some improvement, the barangay officials invited Bishop Sergio Lasam Utleg to hold a mass as well as to bless the place.  From that time, some visitors, picnickers coming from different towns, students, tourists visited the place.  It has Zipline and One hundred sixty meters (160) long which is the first zipline in Ilocos Norte and Hanging Bridge which has thirty (30) meters long connecting the two mountains and it was placed  near the ending area of the zipline. The grotto of Virgin Mary is situated at the mountain side of the northern part of the zipline. The zipline and hanging bridge were funded by the municipality through the leadership of Mayor Carlito Abadilla II and Vice Mayor Carlito N. Abadilla.
 
The land area of the Paraiso is One hundred (100) hectares which was awarded by the DENR. 
Every day,  there are three (3) officials who are assigned at the entrance to be responsible for collecting the entrance and cottage fees. The entrance fee is Five Pesos (P5.00) and the fee for small cottage is Two hundred Pesos (P200.00) while the big cottage is Four hundred Pesos (P400.00).  The zipline fee is Fifty Pesos (P50.00) per ride. 
 
The barangay folks are thanking the Almighty Father for giving them the Paraiso and also the  National, Municipal and Barangay leaders who molded and inspired the constituents of the barangay to have teach the value of discipline, unity, cooperation, cleanliness and environmental awareness, thus making Barangay CARIBQUIB a progressive, peaceful and beautiful place to live in.
