            Vigan City is conducting many activities this January. Vigan is an island, which used  to be detached from the mainland by three rivers - the great Abra River, the Mestizo River and the Govantes River.

Change is not bad because you life does not get better by chance, its...

Essence of Christmas

      Everyone waited this season, a season where we can rest from studies and work and a season where we can have a bonding time or vacation with the family.
