Reflection on Vigan Festival

 Umay ken Agrag-sak tayo!


The celebrations of the Ilocanos culture as known as the Vigan Festival held in Vigan City, Philippines. It is done annually by the Ilocanos to show their rich culture and colorful community. I was suddenly overcome with amazement and love for the customs that were on display as I reflected on what I had witnessed at the Vigan festival. This festival offers a variety of appealing events that draw visitors and encourage them to stay to watch the stunning performances. The Vigan Festival of the Ilocanos is celebrated during the second week February and this is the time of year when street games, music acts, traditional dances, and colorful parades are celebrated. In 1572, Spanish explorer Juan de Salcedo arrived in the Ilocos region and established the city of Vigan. As governor of the area, Salcedo turned transformed it into a hub of trade for the Spanish. It was during the 16th century when Vigan became an important stopover and trading post on the historical Silk Route. In the years that followed the city flourished and became the center of political, religious, and commercial activity in the Northern reaches of Luzon, because of this, I am able to appreciate the beauty of Vigan City. I will always remember going to the Vigan Festival because of how much they loved and were proud of their own culture. I became aware of the significance of Vigan's history because of this festival.
