 Vigan City, Ilocos Sur. Vigan City is a
World Heritage Site in that it is one of the few
Hispanic towns left in the Philippines, and is well
known for its cobblestone streets, and a unique
architecture that fuses Philippine and Oriental
building designs and construction, with colonial
European architecture.
Established in the 16th century, Vigan is
the best-preserved example of a planned
Spanish colonial town in Asia. Its architecture
reflects the coming together of cultural elements
from elsewhere in the Philippines, from China
and from Europe, resulting in a culture and
townscape that have no parallel anywhere in
East and South-East Asia.
Vigan has the intangible heritage of
being able to relay a story of a lost era. It stands
as a reminder of what the past looked like, a
tidbit of the rich but painful history of the
Philippines under the Spanish period. As it
stands with pride in being recognized as one of
the only wonder cities in the world, it is more
than providing a vintage aesthetic, it’s a mark of
our past that we have to learn from, the present
we currently embrace and the future that we
make in which we anticipate.
The Kadayawan Village expresses not
only a deeper appreciation of the indigenous
and Moro’s history but also an appreciation with
Philippine architecture.
From being a window to how the six
Moro and five lumad tribes live, the Kadayawan
Cultural Village in Magsaysay Park here has taken
on another purpose: Breaking the cultural
divide, debunking the myths about them, and
preserving their vibrant culture and traditions.
Located on the northern side of Mactan
Island is Mactan Shrine. It's said to be the
location where the Battle of Mactan. The Battle
of Mactan is an armed struggle between
Spaniards led by explorer Ferdinand Magellan
and the men of Datu Lapu Lapu, one of the
leaders of the tribes who live in Cebu.

Sir Florencio Cuizon
The Mactan Shrine’s intangible heritage
is it’s a mark of the value of bravery. Defying
Magellan was a message sent, not only to Spain,
but also to the rest of the world saying that we
Filipinos were and will always be a force to be
reckoned with. Lapu-lapu’s courage during the
Battle of Mactan made the whole world know
that Filipinos have bravery running through their
veins. Magellan’s armor, though worth a
hundred men, pales in comparison to the fierce
courage of Lapu-lapu, the first national hero.
More than showcasing the pure and
untainted culture of Davao by The Kadayawan
Vilage in Magsaysay Park, it has an intangible
heritage of the traditional arts and ways. It
serves as an eye-opener of the beauty of the arts
in the past that contain a lot of symbolic
meaning. It showcases our lost relic of traditions
that may be gone and not passed down from
generation to generation. The heritage reminds
us more than about Davao’s rich culture but a
red flag of the possible original and old traditions
we’d lose if we don’t start embracing them.
