VIGAN BURNAY
 


As Vigan is known for its historic ancestral houses that illustrate a fusion of architecture from Spanish colonial time with Asian influences, the people of Vigan also exert great effort to preserve the tradition of making “burnay”. Burn ay is unglazed earthen jars, an industry that dates back to pre-colonial times when immigrants from China came and settled in Vigan. Burnay jars have small openings, and its earlier use
were for tea drinking, storage for water, rice grains and as container for salt, brown sugar, local wine (basi) and bagoong (fermented fish).

HIDDEN GARDEN VIGAN CITY



The Hidden Garden is a relatively recent addition to Vigan's tourist attractions, but it has quickly become popular for its lush flora, soothing ambiance, and local charm. What started as a personal garden by Francis Flores, a retired professor and plant enthusiast, has transformed into a sprawling space featuring a variety of indigenous plants and flowers, antique decorations, and traditional Vigan pottery.

CALLE CRISOLOGO


Calle Crisologo is truly worth visiting both day and night, with each period offering a unique charm. During the day, you'll enjoy browsing through the numerous antique souvenir shops and small museums like the Father Burgos Museum and the Crisologo Museum. These are housed within the Spanish heritage buildings lining the car-free street. Take a ride in a Spanish-style horse carriage called a 'kalesa' for a delightful tour of Vigan's rich cultural heritage.

First Quarter Reflection

My reflection about the first quarter of our last school year as Junior Highschool students This first quarter of Grade 10 was honestly a fun memory, and I hope it will continue until the last quarter. I got to experience so many different things from creative projects to competitions and it made this school year a lot more exciting and not just about academics. One of the things I struggled with was finishing all my notes. I think it was because there were just so many schoolworks going on and sometimes I focused more on group work or other tasks. Even though I didn’t complete all of them I still managed to understand the lessons and keep up with everything important and I know it’s something that I want to improve next quarter. On the other hand, I successfully passed all my thematic outputs and defended our research title together with my fellow researchers or group mates using Arduino. Our “Integer Game Boy” project was so cool and good experience I learned a lot from it and enjo...
