Discover the Charm of the Heritage City of Vigan



 The Heritage City of Vigan is one of the most beautiful and well-preserved historical places in the Philippines. Known for its cobblestone streets, Spanish colonial houses, and horse-drawn carriages called kalesa, Vigan truly captures the essence of the past while blending it with the energy of the present. Walking through Calle Crisologo feels like stepping back in time, surrounded by the stunning architecture and warm hospitality of the Ilocano people.

Aside from its historical beauty, Vigan also offers a wide range of local industries and products that showcase the creativity and culture of its people. One of the most famous is burnay pottery, where skilled artisans create traditional clay jars that have been part of Vigan’s identity for centuries. Tourists can also enjoy local delicacies such as empanada, longganisa, and bagnet, which represent the rich culinary heritage of the region. These products not only satisfy cravings but also support the livelihood of many local families. Promoting Vigan as a tourist destination is more than just inviting visitors—it’s about preserving and celebrating our culture. By taking pictures of its landmarks, industries, and people, we share the story of our community with the world. Every photo of Calle Crisologo, Plaza Salcedo, or the pottery workshops becomes a reminder of how tradition and progress can exist together in harmony.
The Heritage City of Vigan continues to inspire pride and love for Filipino history. Through tourism, education, and local support, we can help maintain its beauty for future generations. Let us all be part of this mission—visit Vigan, experience its magic, and keep our heritage alive. References: Department of Tourism – Region I. (https://www.ilocosregion.gov.ph/)

Waves of Changes Starts and Ends with Us

Plastics, bottles, and wrappers were scattered everywhere, making the place look messy and harmful to the environment. Because of this, I decided to join the coastal clean-up activity. Even though I was by myself, I did my part to help clean the beach. I picked up bottles, bags, and even bulky trash that was left behind.

This year’s National Science Month theme, “Harnessing the Unknown: Powering the Future through Science and Innovation,” reminds us of the endless possibilities waiting to be discovered.

In the coming decades, innovations in renewable energy, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and space exploration will shape industries and communities. These advancements will not only provide convenience but also address urgent challenges like climate change, public health, and food security. Science thus becomes a bridge that connects knowledge with the survival and progress of humankind. ...
