We traveled to Ciudad Fernandina otherwise known as vigan which still exudes the beauty and power of the past. Baluarte a private Zoo and a fabulous park attract foreign tourists and locals alike. It is located within the vicinity of this teeming city. Governor Chavit Singson an Ilocano must have realized that regaining the glory of Vigan is to invest extensively on a landmark that will bring in lively hood and better living on this northern part of Ilocandia, the grand creation of Baluarte. His vision as a political leader is something to be admired and worthy of emulating.
We visited his residence and had coffee; I jokingly ask a favor from the honorable governor if there is the possibility of continuing the construction of the Bulaga Bridge that is supposed to connect Cervantes Ilocos Sur and Tadian Mountain Province. I informed the good governor that the officials in Mountain Province seem to neglect its construction. I ask him a favor to keep this lateral road very passable with a complete Bulaga bridge since it is a vital link and a short cut to the Ilocos Region from the land lock Cordillera region and the rich Cagayan valley. Hopefully His smile on the request will go a long, long way.
