Viva, Vigan!



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. One famous product is the burnay jar, made from clay using traditional methods that have been passed down for many generations. Another local product is abel Iloco, a colorful handwoven cloth made by local weavers. Visitors can watch how these crafts are made and even buy them as souvenirs. These products show the creativity and hard work of the people of Vigan.


Food in Vigan is another reason why tourists love visiting the city. Travelers can enjoy tasty local dishes like Vigan longganisa, a garlicky sausage, and Vigan empanada, a crunchy snack filled with vegetables, egg, and meat. Eating these foods while exploring the old houses makes the trip even more fun and memorable.


Vigan also celebrates its culture through colorful festivals. One of the most popular is the Viva Vigan Binatbatan Festival of the Arts, where people dance in the streets, wear bright costumes, and show their local traditions. These festivals make visitors feel welcome and let them join in the fun while learning about the city’s rich history.


Through the “It’s More Fun in the Philippines” campaign, Vigan continues to share the joy and beauty of Filipino culture with the world. It is a place where history, culture, food, and fun come together. Visiting Vigan is more than just a trip it is an experience that makes you proud to be Filipino and shows why it’s truly more fun in the Philippines.

  Dear President Marcos, Good day, I am writing to extend my respect for your Leadership and the initiatives you have undertaken for the progress of our nation. I also wish to provide constructive feedback on an issue that I believe is important for the welfare of the Filipino youth, our education system. I humbly suggest that more resources and attention be dedicated to addressing the concerns. Strengthening our education system will not only benefit students like me but will also prepare the next generation of Filipinos to contribute meaningfully to our nations growth. I believe that with continued commitment to quality and accessible education, our country can ensure that no student is left behind.  Thank you for your deeds and honesty Mr. President. I wish you wisdom, strength, and compassion as you continue to lead our beloved nation. Photo references:  https//:istockphoto.com https//:apnews.com
