Yes, I have to agree, like watching a natgeo episode. You should have your own tv show. I rarely post comments but I am compelled to do now to appreciate this video. Beautifully made ❤️👏 I guess even when you post a collection of bloopers or behind the scene shots, will still enjoy watching.
Vigan is a Filipino Town and a Colonial Town with many historical structures and are mostly built in Bahay na Bato. Our architectural structures isn’t Soley Spanish because it has mixture influences with a Filipino-Chinese and Spanish Colonial influences. And our architectural styles in our country are really hybrid even in some other Asian countries. Because we experience influences in our countries such as colonial era and the Spanish did care our culture a bit and decided to have some Filipino Influences with Chinese and Spanish with the help of a Filipino people. But our architectural style is overall Filipino. And overall this video has a really good presentation since I am an enthusiast of historical and grand structures and landmarks. Keep it up!
I’ve been to Vigan and have to say you did a good job covering most of the city. I should also point out that the fountain and light show in the plaza is worth th3 trip alone.
Wow! We live near Seattle and God willing, we plan on building our home near Vigan in San Vicente near San Sebastian beach by the Armstrong Family PinayKano Construction company. We're hoping to break ground sometime in 2025.

Very nice vlog. Sana po at the end of the vlog you can share your expenses pati na yung pamasahe sa mga tricycle, jeep etc. para mas helpful sa mga gusto din mag DIY. Thanks for sharing!
Hello po! I’ll keep that in mind next time. 😊Medyo hindi po budget friendly trip ko eh kasi expensive po yung flight ko hehe. Hotel Luna and La Casa Blanca are not cheap hotels as well but pwede po ninyong i search sa Agoda latest rates nila. Thank you for watching 🤗
Beautiful place Vigan! I love the Spanish Architectures & the Calle Crisologo. I can’t wait to see Vigan, hopefully in March 2025. Thanks for sharing your experience & journey. Incredible video.👍🏼😍
Ilocos was one of the best tours I've ever had, since I was interested in History, Vigan was amazing for me. I would honestly come back to Ilocos if I can.
Correction: UNESCO not only declared one section of the city particularly the Mestizo District (Heritage Village) BUT the whole City of Vigan due to its intact Spanish colonial fabric unparalleled in Asia.
I love watching this channel of yours ! Very educational pa for the kids coming visit this place. Thank you for sharing the beauties of my Town Vigan. God bless your vlogs , we will go visit when we come to visit the Philippines. Mabuhay ka ading! Watching from San Francisco California, USA love this vlogs ❤️
I live in metro Vigan. Nothing comes close to Vigan when It comes to structures anywhere else in the Philippines. I always love my hometown. Correction lang apo: it’s a filipino architecture overall and not solely spanish. The houses have spanish, chinese, native styles that makes it unique. We also have pottery making which originated from China, a delicacy called Pipian that you can only find in Vigan.
😂😂😂❤this vlog...very nice place to visit...nkkamangha at naalala q c Maria Clara at at Ibarra😅...salamat bro😊...like what iv said....entertaining, simple and interesting...
grabe ang galing ng vlog, very detailed ang lahat. ❤ new subscriber here. mga pinupuntahan mo na simbahan grabe. ❤ anu po gamit ninyo pag video? 2013 nakapunta na po ako ng Vigan.
Nakakalungkot na putol na yung old bridge, diyan tumalon yung character ni Snooky Serna sa Bata Pa Si Sabel...diyan din nagkakakilala ang mga characters ni Judy Santos at Rico Yan sa pelikulang Kay Tagal Kang Hinintay.
Vigan has the same feel as Luang Prabang, Laos except that the latter is cleaner and more cost friendly. Accommodation in LP is very luxurious reminiscent of Bali but with distinctive Laotian/French identity. There’s none of the very basic and poor man’s room as the apartelle you stayed at in Vigan. Even restrooms in hall in the wall restaurants are very clean and they smell great. I hope Vigan follows the example of Luang Prabang to attract more tourists.
@@aldenescabarteWow! Saan po kayo banda sumakay? Tapos pabalik ng Vigan, Vigan po ba ang nakasulat sa bus or ibang destination po (tapos dadaan lang sa Vigan)?
Hey Louie. I took a UV Express to Sta Maria. Nag abang ako sa may Jollibee across Bantay Town Hall. Around 80-100 lang ata pamasahe and 45 min yung trip. Then baba ka sa Savemore ng Sta. Maria, then take cab to the church 😉
Hello sir! Must book in advance po lalo na ngayon na bakasyon ng mga schools. inconvenient din po mag hotel hopping napakainit sa Vigan hehe. I recommend booking through Agoda.
30-45 mins po travel time. Sakay ka ng bus sa tapat ng 7-Eleven Bantay pa-Southbound (usually mga bus papuntang mnla and baguio) baba sa Save more Sta. maria then tricycle papuntang church ;)
Na drop off na lang po kayo sa highway going to Manila if mag aabang kayo bus or fx going to sta maria, then baba kayo sa savemore or chowking sa sta maria then hail a tricycle :)
Questions….how were you able to get to Sta. Maria from Vigan? and also, were you using a Gimbal for your camera during the calesa ride?…’coz I used only my cellphone during my calesa ride there and it came out so shaky it was horrible.
Hello po! DIY lang po ako sa Vigan kasi madali lang po talaga mag tour sa city; malalapit lang lahat. I stayed in Vigan for 3 days and 2 nights, kasama na yung pagpunta ko sa Sta Maria, Ilocos Sur. 😊
Thank you for a well presented vlog - the video, articulation and the content. How did you commute (tricycle, bus, etc) to Sta Maria? What are the buses to take to Sta Maria and back to Vigan? I hope you can help.
Thank you for watching and for the kind words! I really appreciate it :) You can take any PUV (ideally an AC bus) going to Sta Maria. Its just 45 mins from Vigan. I took the bus and waited in the highway. There are lots of buses along the way. You can take the bus going to Manila or Baguio. :)
I stayed in Vigan for 3 days and 2 nights po. I spent around 15k. Yung mahal lang talaga sa Vigan is the hotel that I stayed-yung La Casa Blanca but its worth it 😊

Sana they will rebuild the bridge kasi its a historic one

Kaya nga po eh. Yung visit ko po sa Vigan is around a week lang after ng bagyo. Sana ma repair ang bridge and be restored to its original state.

Hindi po. DIY lang po lahat hehe need lang talaga mag research and ayusin ang itinerary
Sir, how many days po kayo? And DIY tour lang po kayo or u availed tour packages? :)
Hello po! DIY lang po ako sa Vigan kasi madali lang po talaga mag tour sa city; malalapit lang lahat. I stayed in Vigan for 3 days and 2 nights, kasama na yung pagpunta ko sa Sta Maria, Ilocos Sur. 😊
I wont suggest availing a tour package kasi maliit lang po talaga ang Vigan hehe 1 kalesa ride lang ok na. Commuting is not hard as well.
Kuya, what was this video shot in?
Shot on iphone :)
