Know Your North Special - The UNESCO Heritage Sites of Ilocos Region

The historic city of Vigan and the baroque churches of Paoay and Sta. Maria in the Ilocos region are among a handful of World Heritage Sites designated by UNESCO in the Philippines. These heritage properties are of the utmost universal value, embodying a distinctive and incomparable legacy and exhibiting an exceptional creative accomplishment from the Spanish colonial period. Properties included on the World Heritage List are the collective patrimony of the world. These sites are a source of pride for all Filipinos.

It is only appropriate that Victory Liner, in its 75th year of service, honors these timeless and enduring treasures, symbols and manifestations of durability, adaptability and the highest benchmarks of excellence – qualities and virtues the company aspires for and values deeply.

#KnowYourNorth remains an advocacy to archive the rich culture and traditions of northern Luzon, featuring storylines that embody the aspirations and essence of its people to foster a deeper appreciation and awareness of a truly encompassing identity. The themes continue to be about environmental protection, heritage preservation, and cultural elevation.

This video tribute to the UNESCO heritage sites in Ilocos is expressed from the perspective of a Spaniard who looks back fondly at the outcome of a shared history and the interchange of diverse cultures.
