Burgos Museum, Vigan


This was Father Jose Burgos's house, located near Vigan City Hall. They opened this house to the public, displaying a collection of antiques, not only from Father Burgos's personal collection but also from the Kankanay and Ilocano Tribes. You'll get to know the famous personalities and heroes from this Northern Region that we read about in our history books. 

 Below are the photos taken inside the museum:

They have used this tool to squeeze out sugar cane juice

We've been curious about this tree planted in the backyard.  No one can exactly tell what it is.  It definitely seems to be a kind of berry.  There are a lot of these fruits on the ground, so we pick them up and plan to try to have one planted at my mom's place.   I tell you, we love plants!
