Viva Vigan.....hey...!!!!!

Vigan is known to be the heritage city in our country. Vigan was said to be an island because it was surrounded by the bodies of water.
The Vigan City Fiesta is held every January 25. It is celebrated during the feast day of the conversion of St. Paul the Apostle. St. Paul is Vigan City’s patron saint. Before his conversion, St. Paul was known as Saul, a zealous persecutor of Christians. After he was touched by a personal encounter with Jesus Christ on his way to Damascus, his name was changed to Paul and he endured a lot of hardships and danger to spread the word of God to far places. Vigan has too many historical places. One of this is the Crisologo street,there are Spanish houses that were preserved by Biguenos . And now it was very known in the Philippines. Every year Vigan was celebrating the grand feast , others said as the longganisa festival. One of the highlights of this event was the longganisa street dancing. There are lots of contest and programs held during the celebrating of Vigan festival.
