THE SECOND CITY COUNCIL, 2004-2007


The term of the Second City Council of Vigan has come to an end but the chamber’s role to legislate to protect the heritage remains. As an institution, the legislative branch of the City Government of Vigan will continue to perform its functions to make laws, approve development plans, and appropriate funds for the general welfare.


We will remember the Second City Council for enacting landmark legislations for the City of Vigan. Among which are the Vigan Conservation Code as amended, Vigan Revenue Code as amended, Investment Incentives Code, Transportation and Traffic Code, Vigan Youth Code, Ordinance Establishing the Traditional Industries Board, Ordinance Granting an Annual Development Budgetary Aid to all Barangay Governments to at least One Hundred Thousand Pesos(Php 100,000.00), Ordinance Bestowing Monthly Performance Allowance for Barangay Officials and Tanods, and Ordinance Providing Annual Group Insurance Policy for Barangay Officials and Tanods.

We will also remember the Second City Council for pioneering projects such as the Electronic Session(E-Session), 1st Vigan City Job Fair, 1st Himig ng Kalayaan, 1st Bikini Challenge, 1st Heritage Showdance, and a weekly radio program, “Ti Konseho ti Vigan.” The Second City Council will be remembered as the Outstanding Sanggunian of Ilocos Sur and the First Runner-up of Region I.

In line with its Vision to come up with a dynamic, independent, responsive and effective legislative body that will ensure a better quality of life of the people, the Vigan City Council remains committed to legislate to protect the heritage.
