 in the province of Ilocos Sur, lies Vigan, a captivating testament to the enduring legacy of Spanish colonialism. More than just a historical site, Vigan is a living, breathing museum – the most intact example in Asia of a planned Spanish colonial town, a vibrant confluence of European, Filipino, and Chinese influences that has shaped its unique character for centuries. Vigan buttered up to the ranch and has capitalized on his historic character while the economy remain and flowed. Built in the 18th and 19th centuries, this city was once a major economic center in the Philippines until the World War 2 after which the economy began to decline  and in fact, this decline preserved the integrity of the city over time, and fewer buildings were subject to drastic internal renovations for other purposes. The houses in the Mestizo district were essentially home and office combined, as Chinese merchants and traders conducted their business from shops, offices, and storerooms at ground...

Community Based Research for me is more than just a project. For me, it is journey and a key of connections. Community Based Research thought me a lot of things just like, knowing the unseen issues that our community people are facing, learning their insights, and helping them in making solutions that can make a huge and helpful difference. Of course, we are just a normal student where we also face problems. That is why we decided to document our CBR not just on listing the interviewees answers, nor just in words, but we decided to capture it  in pictures. We were able to capture the moments where in my groupmates where having fun interviewing, talking to citizens. Our CBR journey was documented not only for proof or for our Media Gallery, but the main reason is for us to keep the simple memories that we were able to share on the process of making our CBR. Our CBR journey was documented not only for proof for our activity, or for showcasing our work in Media Gallery, but the main a...

 The Philippines and China have a long-standing relationship that predates European colonization. Trade routes flourished for centuries, bringing not only goods but also traditions, customs, and people. Many Chinese migrants settled in the Philippines, intermarrying and contributing significantly to the economic and cultural landscape. This integration led to the emergence of the Tsinoy community, a vital and influential group that  bridges the gap between both cultures. One reason according to my research is The Tsinoy, Tsinoy community plays a crucial role in keeping the traditions alive. They are the guardians of the cultural heritage, organizing celebrations, sharing traditions within their families, and showcasing the festivities to the broader Filipino community. Their businesses often play a central role in the festivities, offering special promotions, hosting lion dances, and decorating their establishments with auspicious symbols. As what i have said Philippines wnd C...
