Iba, Capital municipality of Zambales, Philippines
Located along the South China Sea, Iba extends over coastal plains and features long stretches of sand beaches bordered by the Zambales Mountains.
The settlement began as Paynauen village in 1611 under Augustinian Recollect priests and established permanent roots along the Bancal River to defend against sea raiders.
The annual Paynauen Festival brings together residents and visitors through local art exhibitions, traditional dance performances, and regional culinary presentations.
Visitors reach Iba through regular bus services from Manila, with the journey taking approximately five hours along the National Highway.
The municipality houses a memorial marking the birthplace of Ramon Magsaysay, who served as the seventh President of the Philippines.
