It is so detailed and inspired in early Spanish architectures that has been brought to the Philippines. It is almost like architectures from the European region. That's why we need to protect and preserve them
Most of the streets we navigate now had been the sites of massive destruction during World War II seven decades ago. But have you ever wondered why Vigan survived and remained preserved all these years?
Well, the answer has something to do with matters of the heart.
According to tales about the Calle Crisologo love story, two love affairs between Filipinas and Japanese officers blossomed during World War II. The first was between Belen Castillo and Major Sakae Narioka; the second involved Adela Tolentino and Captain Fujiro Takahashi, both couples got married.
So concerned were the Japanese officers for their families that they bravely defied their superiors’ orders to burn Vigan. All they asked for their acts of courage was that their loved ones be spared by the citizenry from the unfortunate fate of others who had become intimately associated with the departing defeated former conquerors.
Another story about Vigan is that the Americans wanted to bomb Vigan because of the presence of the Japanese but the bombing was aborted and redirected to another place because Fr. Joseph Klecamf, then parish priest of Vigan, told the Americans that there were no more Japanese soldiers in the area.
It was believed that Klecamf was requested by two Japanese officers, Takahashi and Narioka, not to allow Vigan to be bombed as their families were living there.
The Americans listened to the call of the priest not to bomb Vigan.
