WHICH WAS BETTER FOR THE COMMUNITY? VIGAN AS A CITY OR A MUNICIPALITY

   Vigan city was established in the 16th century, it was the best preserved example of a planned Spanish colonial town here in Asia. Its architecture reflects the coming together of cultural elements from elsewhere in the Philippines, from the country of China and Europe which results in a culture and townscape that have no parallel anywhere in East and South-East Asia. Vigan has a exceptional beauty that attracts the eye of incoming visitors from the whole world. Inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1999, Vigan has been recognized as a model of best practices in World Heritage site management, at the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the World Heritage Convention. The distinction will be officially announced and a certificate presented to the Mayor of Vigan, Ms. Eva Marie S. Medina, during the closing event of the celebrations of the 40th anniversary of the World Heritage Convention in Kyoto, Japan, on 8 November.

   Vigan as a municipality was great because the local government was given authority to govern a specific geographic area. This can include cities, towns, villages, and boroughs. They are capable to enact local laws, regulations, and policies. They often provide services like policing, fire protection, and public works that can ensure a safe interaction in the community without the risks of danger.

 

  When Vigan became a City, there was sudden improvement that changed the lives of the residents of Vigan because it provided a wider range of services, have more extensive infrastructure, and are usually more densely populated. The City of Vigan was now capable of conducting mayor-council or council-manager system of government that further enhance the capabilities of the government.


 The sudden change created new hope and opportunities in the City of Vigan, it won't be possible unless everyone participates in renovating what we had. Change is prominent to all of us, there will always be  possible effects if we were to change our course of action in doing good.

My insights towards the lessons we learned during our ICT time

Image
  I didn't manage to do well last quarter but I pushed my limits and was determined to do necessary action so that my grades would skyrocket! B ut it wasn't that easy, even if I try'd so hard, I couldn't manage to fullfil some of their expectations. H owever, I never gave up, I want to be someone I could be proud of that is why I exceeded my limits and continue to strive for the better.       I n this quarter, we learned how to code basic html tags that could help us in our growth as a student. A t first, it was difficult for me to code because I always commit mistakes by misplacing the tags used in our activities. It was a rough time since I don't excel at tech-based activities and would often ask my teacher on how to do it properly.  B ut after a while, I get the hang of it and managed to do it properly and would help my seatmate John Paul whenever he is in need. But it doesn't change the fact that I was the one who corrupted our USB drive.....I swear! I...

MY INSIGHTS DURING OUR 3RD QUARTER

Image
      Our teacher taught us so many things that we will probably use in the future. We were tasked to create a community-based research, I didn't expect that I would be the leader of our group which is why I provoked my team mates and ask them why they chose me to guide them. I realized that I am really capable which is why I committed myself to do my best for our group.     During our research, several issues arrived which I managed to solve with the help of my team mates. I assigned them with separate tasks according to the capability of the individual. Whenever they are in need, I would assist them in fixing their anomaly's. I took the opportunity to showcase my ability as a student so that we could have our desired outcome. We sacrificed our skin, flesh and bones in order to complete the standards that the world pressured into us.      Overall, my ability to command was greatly improved and I could now manage my time when doing a specific task...
