Old Times


Calle Crisologo in Vigan, Ilocos Sur, is one of the most beautiful and well-known streets in the Philippines. The moment you step onto its cobblestone road, you’ll feel like you’re walking through history. The old Spanish-style houses, wooden balconies, and warm yellow lights give the place a magical feeling. It’s a street where the past and present meet where you can enjoy the beauty of old traditions while still feeling the life and energy of today’s Vigan. Calle Crisologo is not just a tourist destination; it’s a symbol of Filipino pride, showing how we value and protect our culture.


Every corner of Calle Crisologo tells a story. The beautiful antique houses remind us of the Spanish colonial period, while the people’s kindness shows the true heart of Vigan. The sound of kalesas (horse-drawn carriages) passing by adds to the calm and peaceful atmosphere of the street. As you explore, you’ll also notice many local stores selling handmade crafts, souvenirs, and native food that reflect the creativity of the people. One of the best things to enjoy here is the famous Vigan empanada. Its crispy orange shell and delicious filling of longganisa, egg, and fresh vegetables make it a must-try treat. The smell of empanada being cooked in small stalls fills the air, inviting you to take a bite. Eating it while sitting along the street, watching the sunset and the soft glow of lights, makes the experience even more special. It’s a simple moment, but it captures the warmth and charm of Vigan life.


Calle Crisologo is more than just a beautiful street, it’s a living reminder of who we are as Filipinos. It shows the value of preserving our culture, our traditions, and our food. The old houses, the friendly smiles of the people, and the tasty empanada all work together to make Calle Crisologo a place worth loving. Visiting it is not just about taking pictures; it’s about feeling the story behind every wall, every stone, and every bite of empanada. Truly, Calle Crisologo is a treasure, a place where history, culture, and flavor come together in the most unforgettable way.

CLEAN UP DRIVE

Image
Our community joined forces in a clean-up drive to promote a healthier and greener environment. Everyone, young and old, helped out in picking up trash—it was a simple act that made our community shine brighter. The clean-up drive reminded us that throwing garbage properly is not just a rule, but a way of showing love for our home. With every piece of trash collected, we felt that we were giving back to nature and making our surroundings more livable. Beyond cleaning, the drive brought smiles, teamwork, and the spirit of bayanihan alive in our community.

ICT REFLECTION

My ICT Reflection This school year, I learned a lot in our ICT class is not just about computers, but also about patience, teamwork, and trying my best. From learning about how the internet started, to helping with Nutrition Month, and even making my own blog, it was a fun and sometimes challenging experience. One topic I really found interesting was the history of the internet. Before, I thought the internet had just always been there. But I learned it actually started way back in the late 1960s with something called ARPANET, which was used by researchers to share information. Then in the 1980s, email and domain names were added, making it easier to talk online. In the 1990s, Tim Berners-Lee created the World Wide Web, which made websites and browsers possible. After that, the internet grew fast and now we have social media, smartphones, cloud storage, and Web 3.0. Learning all this made me realize how far technology has come and how much we use it e...
