Solidarity Celebration

            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.

A lot of us Filipinos in our country are good at unity, also known as “solidarity”; especially among the individuals with a common interest. Let us just say that in working, helping, and as agreeing to every each of one’s statement, yet the significance is projected to be far-reaching.

 

            Among the citizens of the Philippines, we all know the rituals or temporary happenings, and perspective doings about today’s celebration or topic. The Philippines Centennial celebrates the tyranny of colonialism and its transformation into an independent and proud citizen of the nation and also around the globe. The Centennial celebrates the history of the Filipino’s struggle and solidarity. The story of the birth and growth of his race.

As the Organization of World Heritage Cities was created on a 8 September, it was decided, as a commemoration of this flagship event, that 8 September be declared “Solidarity Day of World Heritage Cities”. All World Heritage cities are invited to celebrate this day once a year.
