Carmeling is the mother, Floro is the father...
of Bingbong Crisologo. Mr. Floro Crisologo was the one who got shot in the church and not Carmeling. My entire high school class had the very good fortune of having her as our host for our Ilocandia tour in 1985. Good blog though. I plan to visit Ilocos this month.

vigan mem'ries
i love vigan so much, the mem'ries particularly. visited the place april 2005 with a very special person...we stayed in vigan plaza hotel...absolutely a great place to stay if you have the right budget P2500/night with free bfast. king size antique bed, very comfy and relaxed. try the pinakbet at grandpa's inn just few blocks away...huh the best pakbet i've ever tasted in my whole life...and the chichacorn from small stores along vigan heritage villas is great. the empanadas? i guess, i had 4 in one sitting...hehe..i brought some bagnet, fried big pork chop (like lechon kawali) and sundried, best for sauteed veggies. My bro loved it. A wonderful experience...i wish i could go back...i love the memory and the man still...

Can you help me find a car that would tour us to Vigan and Laoag
hi! My family and I are planning to go to Pagudpud and make a stop both at Vigan and Laoag. Imagining the long trip ahead, of course I wanted to make a full tour of the place - ALL the tourist spots before we proceed to Pagudpud. We are not bringing our car because super long drive is tiring for my husband. I hope you can help me find somebody in Ilocos for the tour. Thanks in advance!!!

Very useful info
As early as now, i'm already planning for a getaway together with my husband in time for our 2nd wedding anniversary this coming November 24th. When I asked my husband to which place he'd like to go - Subic, Batanes or Vigan - he quickly replied "VIGAN!" And Vigan it is! I'm surfing the net and came upon your blog. It made me so excited that I can no longer wait until November to visit the beautiful city that is Vigan. Thanks for sharing your Vigan trip... it gives tourists exciting expectations of the place. :)

vigan..my home!
hi there...taga vigan ako...nice place talaga cia..! but if your planning to visit vigan..I suggest the following places and itenerary: 1. Baluarte at Caoayan (house of Gov. Chavit)-take a tricycle or a calesa ride...(free yung entrance sa baluarte) 2. Bantay Church and Belltower- try nyo umakyat sa belltower...ask the key to the caretaker (with donation po ito!) P.S. Dito nagshouting sina Judy Ann at Rico Yan from the film "Kay tagal" 3. Burgos Musuem-birthplace ni Padre Burgos...additional info...sa tabi ng musuem na ito ay may kulungan....dito sa kulungan na ito pinanganak si Elpidio Quirino 4. Plaza Salcedo-May lagoon doon... 5. archdiocese of nueva Segovia-my musuem dito...maganda siya..kinda scary... 6. Vigan Cathedral--nice place to get married...ideal cia... 7. Empanada Eating---located near the belltower just beside the church... 8. Try also the SINANGLAW..the best cia...pagnakakain kayo nito...complete na ang vacation nyo... 9. Heritage Village-puros old houses cia...P.S. ingat may dumudungaw bigla sa mga binatana...enjoy shopping here for your pasalubong; Syquia Mansion-Try to find this place..it's the house of Former President Elpidio Quirino... 10. Crisologo Musuem-house of former governor of Ilocos Sur, Crisologo...Nice antique house... 11. Pagbunaryan---limited lang ang pumupunta dito...but i highly suggest punta kayo dito.... 12. Vigan Public Market--nice place to buy pasalubong such as bagnet (250-300/kilo), vigan longaniza (100-120/dozen), and chichacorn... Try also tinubong... Have a safe trip..enjoy...

Beautiful!! See to believe.

Which would of been the 20th or 21st US time. It is comforting to know how beautiful a place my grandmother was born in. Thank you for this Web site. " I will plan to come to visit this place next year 2011.

Thanks for these two sisters for the well documented travel itenerary had they posted here. With this I am now possitive that I will travel to Vigan. My first stop is actually in Laoag because of the flightn I book from Manila. Again thank you to both of you. Theresa

"Sayang"
I am an ilocano from La Union now resideing in Las Vegas, Nevada. After reading this article, I knew I have missed something so near yet so far away. "Sayang", I was not able to visit Vigan when I was still in La Union. "Sayang", I was not able to see the beautiful places that were portrait in this article and "sayang" that I believed during those years when I was in La Union, that Vigan was a no mans land, and notorious political killings occurred. "Sayang" that I was so afraid to visit such a beautiful place then. Surely, i will go visit this place in my next balik-bayan trip nbo matter what. A full blooded Ilocano should visit this place and hopefully I still have the time to do so. Thanks Nonong Rimando Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
