FINALIST IN 7 WONDER CITIES RACE The 2014 campaign to push Vigan as one of the 7 wonders to the finish line had just started from July 7 and ends on October 7. Vigan was a trading port long before the Spaniards arrived in the late 16th century. The city is known for its Spanish-era mansions, cobblestone streets, culture, and home to martyred priests. The global competition was initiated by non-profit New7Wonders Foundation whose aim was to preserve the world's man-made and natural heritage sites. I visited the place in 2011 and was very impressed that everything was well preserved, bringing memories of nostalgic days to visitors.

The roster of 21 finalists will be further reduced to 14 for the final round, which will be announced October 7.
