Loakan, a place of lush greens, is considered as one of the top performing barangays. It is the place were the top companies like SITEL, TI (Texas Instruments) and many more choose to operate. With this, we can see how beautiful the place of Loakan is to start a business.

The first international airport here in Cordillera Region also operates in Loakan. Loakan Airportserves the general area of Baguio City, located in the province of Benguet in the Philippines. The airport is classified as a trunkline airport, or a major commercial domestic airport, by the Air Transportation Office, a body of the Department of Transportation and Communications that is responsible for the operations of not only this airport but also of all other airports in the Philippines except the major international airports.

Loakan is not only rich in business establishments; it is also once a center of Ibaloi Culture and heritage. It was in this place where the early Ibalois lived. Unfortunately, due to rapid migration of the group, the Ibaloi culture is starting to diminish. With our study, we want to promote community awareness on the declining population of Ibalois and the rapid population growth of the community.
