This research study sought to find out the status of the implementation of Iloko Code of La Union in the municipality of Aringay. The researcher focused on the four specific categories, which are aligned with the provisions of the code, namely administrative or public service, tourism sector, business enterprises, and health sector. The data gathered, such as public documents, signages, brochures, interview manuscripts, Facebook posts, and official hymns, were analyzed using the theories of language policy, multilingualism, linguistic landscaping, and language activism. To find out if the municipality is compliant with each of the provisions, a checklist of criteria was crafted. It revealed that out of the 25 provisions under the four categories, only 11 provisions were complied with by the municipality, thus the failure of compliance to the said ordinance. The failure of such can be attributed to the following the disregard of the ordinance by the local government unit (LGU) and the concerned establishments; lack of awareness of the key managers who can help in the proper implementation of the provisions; and the prevalence of pro-forma standardized and government/company-funded monolingual signages among public and private establishments.
