My first and (I'm not sure) if it's my last visit to Vigan,
I was already in awe and at peace going around Vigan City
with my officemates in year 2002.
It was a vacation for the whole department and Gia & Edward, two of our darling contractual employees at that time, offered Ilocos Norte and Ilocos Sur as the departments' destination were the 2 resides or where the 2 places are their hometowns.
