From Town to Thriving City

From Town to Thriving City

Vigan was once a small municipality known for its rich history and Spanish-era houses. Despite its size, it played an important role in trade and culture during the Spanish period. Over time, it grew into a well-known heritage site, attracting visitors with its colonial architecture and unique traditions.

When Vigan became a city, it saw major improvements in tourism, economy, and infrastructure. Being a UNESCO World Heritage Site helped boost its popularity, drawing more tourists to places like Calle Crisologo and local food spots. Businesses and tourism projects helped modernize the city while preserving its historic charm.


Today, Vigan is a top cultural and tourist destination in the Philippines. Cityhood has led to better services, governance, and sustainable development. By balancing history and progress, Vigan continues to shine as a model for heritage conservation and modern growth.

My 3rd quarter journey

 MY 3RD QUARTER JOURNEY As the third quarter ends, I reflect on what I have learned. I improved my time management, asked for help when needed, and developed better study habits. I also realized the importance of perseverance and self-discipline in handling difficult subjects. Despite this, I faced challenges, especially in balancing schoolwork, extracurricular activities, and personal responsibilities. Some subjects were harder, making it difficult to keep up with lessons and deadlines. To overcome these, I created a study schedule, set priorities, and asked for help from teachers and classmates. Taking short breaks and practicing self-care kept me motivated. Moving forward, I will stay organized, improve my study habits, and face challenges with a positive attitude. With determination, I know I can achieve my goals in the next quarter.

Reflection on 2nd quarter

  During the second quarter, I have significantly expanded my understanding of coding and HTML formatting tags. I learned how to structure a webpage effectively using basic tags such as <html>, <head>, <body>, and <div>. I also discovered the importance of semantic tags like <header>, <footer>, and <article> in improving accessibility and readability. Additionally, I explored styling HTML with inline and external CSS and mastered the use of attributes, such as id and class, for better layout management. One major challenge was debugging errors when the page did not render as expected. Misplaced or forgotten closing tags, incorrect nesting of elements, and unfamiliarity with certain attributes caused frustration. Understanding how CSS interacts with HTML also posed difficulty, especially when dealing with complex layouts or conflicting styles. To overcome these challenges, I relied on consistent practice and using developer tools like the br...
