Vigan City, found in Ilocos Sur, is one of the most beautiful and historic places in the Philippines. It is known as the Heritage City of Vigan and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its old Spanish-style houses and streets made of cobblestones. Walking along Calle Crisologo feels like traveling back in time. The horse-drawn carriages, known as kalesa, and the warm smiles of the people make the city even more special  Vigan is also known for its local crafts and products.

  Every October, we celebrate National Teacher’s Month to honor the people who shape our minds and guide our paths  our teachers. The 2025 celebration with the theme “My Teacher, My Hero” reminds us that teachers are not just mentors in the classroom but everyday heroes who inspire, support, and empower us to reach our dreams. Despite challenges, they continue to teach with patience, love, and unwavering dedication and that’s what makes them truly heroic. Teachers are more than educators; they are life changers. They don’t just teach lessons from books but also lessons about life, respect, and perseverance. They believe in us even when we doubt ourselves and push us to become the best version of who we can be. Their sacrifices often go unnoticed, but their impact lasts a lifetime. I show my gratitude to my teachers by listening with respect, doing my best in class, and letting them know that their efforts matter. A simple “thank you” or even a smile can brighten their day.
