Famous souvenirs include candles, rosaries, and ampullae of blessed oil with flowers (which supposedly has healing properties), as well as less religious ones such as bagoóng monamon and tupig. ### List of Cultural Properties of Manaoag[edit] Cultural Property wmph identifier | Site name | Description | Province | City/municipality | Address | Coordinates | Image | | | | | | | | Minor Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary of Manaoag | first chapel built in 1600s; rebuilt during World War II | Pangasinan | Manaoag, Pangasinan | | 16°02′39″N 120°29′20″E / 16.044044°N 120.488858°E / 16.044044; 120.488858 (Minor Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary of Manaoag) | | Our Lady of Manaoag College | formerly an old convent beside Manaoag Church | Pangasinan | Manaoag, Pangasinan | | 16°02′35″N 120°29′22″E / 16.043014°N 120.489346°E / 16.043014; 120.489346 (Our Lady of Manaoag College) | | Manaoag Town Hall | where the Municipal Government of Manaoag is located | Pangasinan | Manaoag, Pangasinan | | 16°02′37″N 120°29′14″E / 16.043631°N 120.487125°E / 16.043631; 120.487125 (Manaoag Town Hall) | | Veterans Freedom Hall | | Pangasinan | Manaoag, Pangasinan | | 16°02′37″N 120°29′14″E / 16.043500°N 120.487178°E / 16.043500; 120.487178 (Veterans Freedom Hall) | | Llamido House | Constructed in 1960's | Pangasinan | Manaoag, Pangasinan | 351 N.
