 Vigan City is already a tourist attraction in and of itself. You can see the Spanish-era homes and streets from everywhere. Additionally, calesas (horse-drawn buggies) provide rides around the city. Numerous shops selling gifts may also be found on the city’s streets. It is also known for its cobblestone streets and unique architecture, which combines Philippine and Oriental building designs and construction techniques with colonial European architectural styles. Vigan was inscribed on the UNESCO World Legacy List in recognition of its one-of-a-kind Spanish colonial history in Asia, well-preserved Spanish structures and edifices, and vibrant cultural heritage.  When you visit Vigan in the first week of May for the feast of Sto Cristo Milagroso de Vigan, you’ll observe that the city’s population is dotted with massive buildings constructed of light materials.

No interruptions and it indeed helped us to finish it faster and easier.   Then, the most satisfying part of this is the presentation. Aside from it is the last thing we need to do, it also give flashbacks to all the stuff we have worked hard for. This last task made us realize that everything was made with passion and dedication, that we already made it to the end and our work is slowly coming to an end. No more stre...

We, the Filipinos celebrate Chinese New Year due to the country's significant Chinese-Filipino population and the deep cultural ties between our communities. Over centuries, Chinese immigrants have contributed to Philippine society, bringing their traditions and celebrations along with them. As a result, Chinese New Year has become an integral part of the Philippines' diverse cultural landscape and we are celebrating it with them as a form of respect to their traditions.  In cities with substantial Chinese communities, such as Manila, Cebu, and Davao, you'll find colorful parades, dragon and lion dances, and fireworks displays during Chinese New Year. Many Filipinos, regardless of their ethnic background, join in the festivities, enjoying traditional Chinese food, giving and receiving red envelopes or the so called 'angpao', and hoping for good luck and prosperity in the coming year. It's a wonderful example of how different cultures can blend and enrich each ot...
