From Municipality to Cityhood: The Evolution of Vigan


    Vigan is a place filled with history and culture, known for its cobblestone streets and ancestral houses. Before becoming a city, Vigan was a small municipality where life was simple and peaceful. The people depended on farming, pottery, and weaving to support their families. Even during this time, the community was proud of its traditions and worked hard to preserve its historic landmarks, which would later make Vigan stand out.

    As years passed, Vigan transitioned from a municipality into a city. With this change came improvements in public services, infrastructure, and opportunities for the people. Vigan became a center of tourism, attracting visitors from all over the world because of its rich culture and heritage. Despite its progress, the city has managed to maintain the charm and beauty that make it unique, earning its title as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.


    Vigan today is a perfect example of how a community can grow without forgetting its roots. The local government and residents worked together to ensure that the historical value of the city remains intact. While modern facilities and businesses continue to develop, Vigan has kept its identity as a place where history and progress meet.


    The journey of Vigan from a municipality to a city shows how important it is to protect and preserve our heritage while striving for growth. Vigan is not just a city of progress; it is a living reminder of how the past and present can coexist. Its story inspires other communities to honor their history while building a better future.

A Second Quarter Reflection

During the second quarter, I gained a deeper understanding of HTML, which forms the backbone of website creation. I learned about the two kinds of tags in HTML: the container tags which require opening and closing tags together and the empty tags which stand alone. The structure of an HTML document had been taught to include tags such as <html>, <head>, and <body>.
