via Manila Bulletin, 12 January 2022: Iconic building in Vigan turned into a living museum.
Declared an Important Cultural Property by the National Museum of the Philippines, this 19th-century bahay na bato in Ilocos Norte has been unveiled in its reincarnation as a living museum
For many decades, in its decaying state, the ground floor of what has been described by the National Museum of the Philippines as (one of) “the oldest, most imposing heritage houses in Ilocos Norte” was rented to vendors selling all manner of native food and delicacies.
