             Vigan Philippines which is located in Ilocos Sur Province, is famous for the old massive stonewalls and Spanish brick houses which date back to the Spanish colonization period. The old city of Vigan lies north of Manila and can be reached by bus. Travel time can take from eight to twelve hours depending on how heavy the traffic is going out of Manila.

             The Vigan Philippines festival aims to harness Ilocos Sur's rich historical values and products in order to attract foreign and local tourists and investors.
Like last year, thousands tourists and visitors are expected to flock to Vigan Philippines and its neighboring towns during the unique festival to have a glimpse of the old traditions, culture and unique products of the people of Ilocos Sur.
            “Through this Kannawidan Ylocos Festival, an Iluko term which means feast of all heritages, practices and products in Ilocos Sur, we will showcase and promote our old customs, traditions, culture and products to strengthen their demand,” Savellano said.
