VIVA VIGAN!!!

"We've got to face the fact that some people say you fight fire best with fire, but we say you put fire out best with water. We say you don't fight racism with racism. We're gonna fight racism with solidarity."

Vigan is an island, which used to be detached from the mainland by three rivers - the great Abra River, the Mestizo River and the Govantes River. It is unique among the Philippine towns because it is the country’s most extensive and only surviving historic city that dates back to the 16th century Spanish colonial period.

Every September, Vigan City celebrates the World Heritage Cities Solidarity Cultural Festival. This month-long festivity, in solidarity with other World Heritage Cities around the world, aims to strengthen the pride in the city’s history and culture, promote friendship and diversity between countries and serves as a great venue for forging ties and understanding through community’s involvement in the city’s various activities that highlights love for culture, arts and entertainment.

Vigan City is a home of an amazing culture so we must protect and be proud of our own city.  VIVA, VIGAN!!!

Journey To A Happy School

"Paaralang Masayang Maglingkod, Tagumpay ng Bata'y Itaguyod."

As we articulate our vision of enabling our Filipino learners in realizing their full potential and making them builders of our nation, a call of creating a more positive school culture, a place where people work and learn happier must be the covenant and passion of all stakeholders.  The Department of Education Region 1 launched an advocacy on how to make schools happy and also believes that establishing a positive school atmosphere reflects quality service.  Being a happy student can make the whole school happy.  Every children has the right to go to school and learn new things.  But we don't only go to school to gain and learn something new.  We also go to school to have friends and to be happy.  The students brings joy and fulfillment to teachers and to our school.

A happy school leads to a successful school.  According to William Butler Yeats, "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire."  We can be successful in the end if we study hard and live happily.
