Welcome to beautiful Vigan!
Imagine stepping back in time or what I said it’s like stepping onto a Wild West movie set! What a beautiful city with amazing food!
Unfortunately due to the recent earthquake we couldn’t visit a lot of the areas and it’s very sad to see the damage it has caused to the city. Even with this it was still so beautiful to walk around and we hope that it all goes back to normal soon.
We tried a traditional breakfast and also their very famous empanadas! DELICIOUS!

We LOVED our trip to The Philippines and we went to 14 different places in total from going all the way up North here in Vigan, to the islands down South with the bluest water we have ever seen! 🇵🇭
We enjoyed many adventures together in this beautiful country and tried as much food as we could fit in too!
We would really appreciate any recommendations and ideas for our next trip, anything we missed? Where do you think we’d enjoy exploring next?

Love anything “silog”! Si for sinangag (garlic fried rice) and log for itlog (eggs) and always come with some form of viand e.g. Tocino (to-si-no) so it would be Tosilog; And Longganisa (Long-ga-ni-sa) plus silog is Longsilog. My favourite s Bangsilog, Bang for Bangus (milk fish). Enjoy your time in Vigan, thanks for taking us with you ❤❤❤🇦🇺🇵🇭
Amazing we might need to try this thank you 😊
Hello enjoy explore the beautiful vigan and enjoy food trip pandisal inpanada delicious .u drink alcohol god bless stay safe.
Thank you 😊
You're just walking around? It is so hot in Vigan. I admire your strength to do so.
The bell tower incurred a lot of damage during the latest earthquake. I don't think people are allowed in.
It was so hot that day and we realised after this might have been the case! So sad!
I think batanes would be great for you to visit next
I think it would! Maybe it’s on the cards 😊
BIG YES BIG THUMBS UUPP👍🏽🇵🇭
Yay 😀
Breakfast looks yummy! 🥰🥰🥰
It sure was 😍
Wow Enjoy!
Thank you 😊
Hi' you pronounce it correctly 💓 take care and thank you for visiting our country 😊
Yay 😀
Love to see both of you having vlog everyday. I'm really having fun to see both of you. Take care always.❤️just enjoy life.👍
Thank you 😊
I enjoy watching these angels
Thank you 😊
The Bell tower got destroyed by an earthquake last July,it might be undergoing repairs.
So sad 😞
You should go to ilokos norte at kapurpurawan rock formation, and then to the wind turbine then at Hanna's blue lagoon.
Oh wow ok we will check this out thank you 😊
Hello Alice and Jess… hope you can also visit Baguio City, the summer capital of the Philippines… and also Batanes. Keep safe and God bless you both.
They already explored Banaue and Sagada. I don’t know if they roam around Baguio.
Batanes looks incredible 🤩
Yes guys, Vigan was actually heavily damaged by the recent earthquake :( I actually thought you knew about it before going there. But i was surprised that it looked quite presentable in your video coz from what i've heard before, they say it will take like 10 years or so to completely repair all damages. The epicenter was actually further north in Abra but it was so strong that we felt it here in Manila as well. Plus there were plenty of aftershocks days after. And i believe there was another strong one that happened weeks later. Can't remember the dates anymore.
Sadly, PH is really calamity-prone, being both in the Typhoon Belt and the Pacific Ring of Fire (why we have plenty of volcanos too). But inspite of all these challenges, we continue to have a positive outlook on life and remain one of the happiest people in the world. :)
Btw, i think it would have been better if you just went to Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar in Bataan province. It's a historic resort with 40 original Spanish-Filipino Colonial structures that were transplanted there from different places. Maybe consider it next time. :)
You guys sure are positive and Vigan was still so beautiful and presentable like you said. Thank you for the suggestions 😊 and thank you for the comment!
Wow that is so yummy.
Was very delicious 🤤
Alice and Jess, thank you for visiting Philippines hope you enjoy 😀

I like the way you travel as foreigner traveller vlogger , you prioritize not the most fancy & famous convenient tourist destination whete most vlogger goes ONLY. You ecplore ,other routes just the way you walk on those streets of Vigan City.
Thank you 😊
You guys are fantastic.
Thank you 😊

My mom is from Ilocos Sur. The next time I go back home, I will definitely visit Vigan and eat Enpanada. Thank you for sharing your experiences in Vigan. 🫰♥️😍😘
Amazing thank you 😊
Just loved watching you taking bites on that empanada like two hungry human beings and sitting by the sidewalk.You're so amusing really coz even ur eating and trying local food in another country is also an adventure to you. Haha.
I thought you'll not upload your tour in Ilocos sur. Glad you did.
Yes of course we did 😊
good thing the heritage area has reopened. There was a strong earthquake that hit the ilocos an abra just recently and dealt a lot of damage to the old houses, including the church and the bell tower. i think thats why the bell tower is still close coz its too dangerous as it has been weakened and and suffered the most damage. im glad u guys still enjoyed
So sad this happened!
pa notice miss beutiful ❤️💯🇵🇭🙏🏻👋🏼
welcome to Vigan, enjoy
Thank you 😊

You need to visit it’s beautiful 🤩
Hi Jess and Alice, you know hot "pan de sal" goes great with hot coffee and better to have the bread spread with butter. It's a staple breakfast for every Filipino and a good afternoon snack as well.
Sounds delicious 🤤
enjoy!
Thank you 😊
Try to visit las casas filipinas de aguzar in bataan its a filipino heritage house during Spanish occupation.
We will have a look into this thank you 😊
Enjoy
Thank you 😊
I enjoy watching
y’guys explore our beautiful country, and also you pronounced the food langgonisa perfectly, and Filipinos loves to eat langgonisa, they’re sooo yummy👌
So so so yummy 😊
Amazing how u went to the pottery place and see how its done but missed the bell tower.. The row of houses ur seeing with small square capiz windows are remnants of the Spanish Era about which houses were actually designed during the 18th century when we were colonized by Spain.
They are so beautiful 🤩
Horse with carrier is what we are using during the days that automotive is not invented yet , one of our transportation expept from horse is carabao ( buffalo ) with carruer
No way we didn’t know this 😊 thank you for sharing your knowledge with us 😊
You're very much welcome 💜

I hope you'll be in Cebu on the 3rd week of January for the SINULOG FESTIVAL....here's Mike & Nelly of Making It Happen Vlog & George & Lucy ( from UK) of The Juicy Vlog in SINULOG festival before the pandemic strikes I'm the Philippines
Stay safe and God Bless to your next adventure.
Thank you 😊
Ohh also in Pampanga (if you haven’t been yet, I’ve been seeing a lot of videos of Mt. Pinatubo excursions) looked fun!
Amazing thank you 😊
try the pandesal while its hot with butter or queso de bola. never star margarine.
Ok we have to try it 🤩
Cute how you pronounced Tocino as how people in the UK will pronounce the "C" in Celtic. In Filipino it's actually "toh-see-noh". Hehe. Really enjoying your videos.
Also eating rice in the Philippines, you need to swiitch your utensils. The spoon to your right, to scoop the rice and cut through meat. They don't use knives while eating. Use the fork to push the rice to your spoon. It's easier that way.
Thank you and thank you for tolerating us know the pronunciation! We will try the other way haha 😂
You guys are so cute! I think you’re one of the few vloggers I’ve watched that actually managed to see A LOT of places in the Philippines! I kind of grew up there and left when I was 14 & haven’t really had the opportunity to see other spots. Originally from Pampanga but I’ve been to Ilocos Sur & Coron.
Sorry I wish I knew your name but you did pronounce the sausage right “long-ga-knee-sa” 👍. The Tocino (cured pork is typically marinated in salt and some sugar) and it’s pronounced “toh-see-no”. While in vigan you have to have to try these: bibingka (it’s different from the ones they have in Manila or Pampanga) .. it’s more like buttery yummy mochi cake, bagnet (double fried pork belly), and their local empanada (again tastes different from the ones down south). Fun!! Can’t wait to see where you go next!❤
Thank you for all the recommendations 🤩
nice video , love it so much...
Glad you love it thank you 😊
New sub here😊 I love both of you because you have no qualms in trying Filipino food, traditional and street food. I enjoy watching your videos because both of you are so natural, and you really show your appreciation of the places you’ve been to💕
Oh wow thank you so much we really appreciate the lovely comments and welcome to the channel 😊
Good food choice❤️❤️❤️🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Thank you 😊
YES, It is correct pronounciation for longanisa. That's how you eat the breakfast combine the rice, egg and tocino. good job ladies! when you eat the pandesal, add cheese or make a scramble eggs or just plain good butter, or peanut butter.
Oh yummy! We might have to try it with cheese now 😍
You pronounce it perfectly.
Yay 😀
Your taking in to Filipino breakfast is quite interesting. I think that place is supposed to be a UNESCO Heritage site.
You are correct it’s a UNESCO 😊
My father’s family is from Vigan like the house 20 minutes walk to Calle Crisologo. The last time I was in vegan was when my father died in 2018 and have never visited since. Vigan is in Ilocus Sur and Ilocos Norte is also stunning.It’s the place of the current President. The place was the setting of the Filipino-Thai movie called Suddenly It’s Magic. It featured the famous Thai actor Mario Maurer and the Filipina Actress Erich Gonzales.It’s a Romantic Comedy movie and it’s a good movie.
We hope you can go up and visit soon and also we are sad to hear about your father. It’s a very beautiful city!
Was there last month, wish I was there now
It’s so amazing 🤩
Jist amazing guys! U are really on the nove. Are u in spain? Looks like old madrid to me.
It sure does we couldn’t believe it 😍
Oh and I can Remember jazz partners name. But lol you did pronounce your breaks meat longanisa correct. By the way I finally get to see jazz partner bite into something. Cuz it’s always jazz biting into a high burger !!! 😂
Haha Jess and I love food! I just always manage to film Jess and not myself haha!
🇵🇭🇵🇭
😊
Wigan is very rich in the Philippines- Spanish culture. It brings you back to olden times. It looks like you are in a movie set 😀 What a great experience you had there.
Looks like we are! So cool 😎
I think they closed the Bell tower because it was hit by an earthquake few months ago so they temporary closed it by now.
We assumed this after! So sad
I hope you visit ilocos province to try the sand dunes and to see the giant wind mill
Unfortunately we can’t but it’s on our list to do in the future 😊
When you come back here to visit again here to the Philippines, it's good for you here December to May ,it's just because you there's having long activity like Penanggena in Bagiuo City, Sinulog Festival 🎎 in Iloilo City, month of January , 👍😎🇵🇭
Oh wow thank you for your recommendations we will take note and hopefully visit in this time! We love the Philippines 🇵🇭❤️
Heard that its nice now in the Makati Ayala Triangle Area because of the crazy light show thatbthey have there. Hope you can visit there too .😇😇😇
Thank you we will look into this 😊
Its good, u pronounce it right for longganisa
Amazing thank you 😊
Wow. Jazz partner is really blonde but not like a typical blonde color. It’s like white blond that’s AMAZIN. !is she a Viking ?
Nope not a Viking 😂
If you haven’t heard of it already you can watch Maria Clara at Ibarra a Filipino TV series currently on GMA. The setting there is Vigan during Spanish times. You can watch clips of it in TH-cam to have some idea of what it may have really looked like back then
Ok thank you for the recommendation 😊
12:29 You see the architecture is like mix east and west. Spanish influence in lower part, then upper part is local style.
It’s a great mix of architecture 😍
After that u can go to hundred islands actually theres so many beaches around pangasinan.
We will look into this thank you 😊
Your next stop is Baguio City. Enjoy and have fun in Vigan City.
Thank you 😊
come to batanes next you guys would absolutely love it there❤
We would for sure! 😍
As always….your video is always entertaining! I grew up in the Philippines and I didn’t even get to go to this places you girls are going! It’s always nice to see the appreciation you ladies have for the Philippines ❤
Thank you 😊
Empanada is good with vinegar!❤
Amazing 🤩
Sadly an earthquake damage the Vigan town last july
So sad 😞
Batanes next? Pls don't miss it
We will try and get there!
Vigan is one of the hottest cities (if not the hottest) in the Philippines that's why you might notice only few people on the streets because they are hiding from the sun. Pandesal is usually available starting 5am and perfect with coffee when it's serve very hot.
You must savor tsokolate. It’s traditional Filipino hot cocoa. Made from locally grown cocoa beans. Simply amazing!
Vigan was recently struck by an earthquake registered at 7.2-7.8 in the Richter Scale. Very, very strong and devastating earthquake.the Philippines was formed by volcanoes millions of years ago because it is located in the Ring of Fire. It is often visited by typhoons or earthquakes. This has made the Filipino to be resilient.
We could tell it was so hot! And also we are loving it in coffee 😍
So so sad 😞 thank you for the recommendations!
❤️
you should try vigan's vegetable EMPANADA
We tried the meat one but wish we tried the veg one 😊
So sad earthquake happen this year thats why bantay watchtower was also closed but the vibe is still there the spanish influence vigan is one of the unesco world heritage site and vigan city retain its beauty of old spanish colonial architecture! But still enjoy your stay there!❤
It’s so beautiful but so sad about the earthquake!
Try The Hundred Islands in Pangasinan its located in Central Luzon 👍👌
Ok thank you 😊
Paoay church is nice
So beautiful 🤩
Go to batanes
It looks amazing 🤩
You pronounced it right 😄
Thank you 😊
visit also churches so nice.
We agree 😊
Now you've seen how Filipino communities were like during the 300 years of Spanish rule. That's why Vigan was preserved.
Did you get a taste of Vigan's famous crispy & juicy bagnet? Next to lechon, it's my second favorite.
So beautiful and no we didn’t get to try this!
What Bagnet ?
@@piacash5216 Deep fried pork but done in a uniquely Vigan way. Very crispy & juicy.
The North really have the best longanisa in the entire Luzon area👍
We loved it here 😍
Tocino is bacon in spanish
So delicious 🤤
Empanada's filling is made of grated green papaya, chopped Vigan longganisa, onions, garlic, eggs, salt, and garlic.
Oh wow we didn’t know this thank you 😊
Visit Siargao guys
Maybe 🤔
It will come alive during the night
It was beautiful at night!
Face mask is voluntary indoor and outdoor. You may remove your face mask outdoor (except if you are in transpo).
Some other malls still require indoor wearing but have seen some do not wear.
Ok thank you 😊
Oh you didn't try traditional pottery in Sagada
We were gutted we missed doing it in Sagada!
usually called tocilog (tocino, "sinangag"-fried rice, "itlog"-egg) and longsilog (longganisa, sinangag, and egg). tocino is pronounced "to-si-no" and you actually pronounced longganisa correctly and its funny how you were the one to apologize even though it was correct 😆
Amazing information thank you 😊 haha we glad we got one correct!
