Vigan as a Municipality: A Glimpse Into the Past


Vigan, before it became the city we know today, was once a quiet municipality with a rich history. It was a place where time seemed to slow down, with cobblestone streets, old Spanish-era buildings, and simple, yet beautiful, traditions. The town was a hub of culture, a place where Filipino and Spanish influences merged. Even as a small municipality, Vigan’s charm was undeniable, attracting people who appreciated its history, peaceful atmosphere, and the sense of nostalgia that lingered in the air.

Vigan's Transformation: From Municipality to City

The moment Vigan became a city in 1999, it was like the beginning of a new chapter. Gaining city status gave the town the tools it needed to grow while still respecting the heritage that made it so special. This transformation meant better infrastructure, more resources for preserving its historic sites, and an increased ability to showcase its beauty to the world. It was an exciting time for the people of Vigan, as they saw their beloved town start to receive the recognition it truly deserved. Becoming a city gave Vigan the spotlight it needed to thrive.


Vigan Now: A City of Culture, Heritage, and Progress



Today, Vigan is a vibrant city where the past and present come together in the best possible way. It’s not just a historical destination; it’s a place full of life and energy. While Vigan has embraced modern progress, it has done so while keeping its heart intact—preserving its historic homes, streets, and traditions. The city now draws tourists from all over the world who come to experience its beauty, rich culture, and the warmth of its people. What once started as a small municipality has grown into a city that’s a living, breathing testament to Filipino heritage, with one foot in history and the other in the future.

For me this  term in ICT class has been a great experience. We spent a lot of time working on HTML typing, which at first felt a bit challenging, but as we went along, it became really rewarding. I learned how websites are built from scratch using simple tags and how every small detail, like a single missing symbol, can make a huge difference. One thing I realized is how important it is to focus and be patient. There were moments when things didn’t work as expected, but troubleshooting and figuring out the problem was surprisingly satisfying. It felt like solving a puzzle. Overall, I’ve grown more confident in using technology, and this class showed me how much effort goes into creating even the simplest web pages. I’m excited to keep learning and see how these skills can be used real-life projects. I’ll always cramm for my exer’s beacuse sometimes I’m absent or my hands was very slow and my eyes can’t see the other wrong words but it’s fun typing and i have new ideas for computer ...
