 Vigan, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a treasure trove of history in the Philippines. Its journey from being a simple town to being a progressive city is a testament to its rich cultural heritage and resilience. Vigan as a Town Back then  Back then, Vigan was a town known for its stone streets, Spanish colonial houses, and being the political and religious center of Ilocos Sur. During this period, Vigan's economy depends on agriculture, small-scale industries, and traditional handicrafts such as pottery and weaving. Despite its historical importance, resources were limited and the town's development was slow. Vigan people are very close to their traditions and culture. Festivals like the Viva Vigan Binatbatan Festival showcase the vibrant spirit of the town. However, as a town, Vigan has limited management capacity and lack of funds, so its progress is slow. Vigan as a City Today  On January 22, 2001, Vigan was declared a city by virtue of Republic Act No. 8988. Its ci...

  This year's Christmas is filled with joy and love with my family. On December 29, we went on a joyful vacation and visited the historic Paoay Church. We were amazed by the beauty of its architecture and the serene environment that gave us the opportunity to pray and reflect. After this, we stopped by Robinsons to shop. The experience was very joyful because we could really feel the vibrant spirit of Christmas while shopping for gifts and necessities. On December 31, the entire Rabena family gathered for our year-end party. That day was joyful and full of life because of the delicious food, laughter, and stories.

  The beginning of the year is a fantastic time to review objectives and make positive changes. Saving money is something I often take for granted, so this year I made the decision to focus on it. Back then, I often spent on unnecessary things, so my savings were always short when there was a sudden need. This year, I understood the importance of being careful with money, not only for security but to reach my dreams. To accomplish my goal of saving, I will plan carefully.I start by making a monthly budget to keep tabs on my expenses and identify areas for savings. Second, I'll set up a different savings account and contribute a portion of my monthly paycheck to it. Lastly, I'll learn to prioritize the things that are vital and refrain from purchasing items that aren't necessary. I know this process will not be easy. There are temptations and times when I may struggle to control spending. But I'm determined to stay disciplined and remember why I'm doing it. By the en...
