The town is known for its role in the Basi Revolt, led by Pedro Mateo, a native of Piddig. Today, Piddig is known for its basi and for their sariwagwag, a dish made out of gabi leaves with fresh shrimps that are freshly gathered from their rich river. The municipio (town hall) is located on top of a hill offering panoramic views of fields and mountains.
Piddig is the birthplace of Teófilo Yldefonso, a Filipino swimmer who is the first Filipino and Southeast Asian to win an Olympic medal, and the first Filipino to win multiple medals.
Piddig's terrain is hilly with rice plains interspersed in between. It sits at a higher elevation than most of the towns in Ilocos Norte. It is a great place for a day hike, if one does not mind traversing through rivers, forests, and fields.
Barangaysedit
Piddig is politically subdivided into 23 barangays.[6] Each barangay consists of puroks and some have sitios.
In the 2020 census, the population of Piddig was 22,475 people,[4] with a density of 100 inhabitants per square kilometre or 260 inhabitants per square mile.
Piddig, belonging to the first congressional district of the province of Ilocos Norte, 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.
Almost each barrio or barangay in Piddig has its own elementary school. The town's poblacion Anao, historically had two, Piddig Central (North) and South Piddig Central elementary schools. Both schools are situated next to each other north of town. The schools' rivalry is legendary. In the late 1980s the schools merged as one, Piddig Central.
There are three high schools in Piddig: Piddig National High School, Roosevelt High School, and St. Anne Academy (Catholic). However, many students attend high schools in nearby Laoag City.
