Burgos, officially the Municipality of Burgos (ilo|Ili ti Burgos; fil|Bayan ng Burgos) is a municipality in the province of Ilocos Sur, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 12,793 people.
Burgos is from Vigan City and from Manila.
Burgos got its name from Father José Burgos, a member of the martyred Gomburza priests and a native of Ilocos Sur.
Burgos came into existence in 1831 when Father Bernardino Logo was able to convert many natives into the folds of Christianity. The resulting town became Nueva Coveta. It was envied by its neighbors because of its peace and order, as well as its progress, since it sold its resulting products in places as far as Pangasinan and Tarlac.
Burgos became a township of Santa Maria in the latter period of Ilocos Sur's Spanish era. It was later named in honor of Father José Burgos.
Burgos is politically subdivided into 26 barangays, or neighborhoods. Each barangay consists of puroks and some have sitios.
In the 2020 census, Burgos had a population of 12,793. The population density was NaN12,793/44.38.
See main article: Sangguniang Bayan. Burgos, belonging to the second congressional district of the province of Ilocos Sur, is governed by a mayor designated as its local chief executive and by a municipal council as its legislative body in accordance with the Local Government Code. The mayor, vice mayor, and the councilors are elected directly by the people through an election which is being held every three years.
