Solidarity means that if you
are giving support of a group or the people in it, that's how you can show
solidarity with them. The word "solidarity" is often used to describe
a senses of unity, a group of striking workers, or people who have been
deprived of their rights in some way. The purpose of solidarity is to build our
movement, and to embody our mutual care and concern for justice. Solidarity
works best when we respect each other's differing needs and life circumstances,
understand that there are many ways of being in solidarity, and co-ordinate our
responses within each other.

In Vigan we celebrate "World
Heritage Cities Solidarity Day" on September 8. In Vigan this special day
is actually commemorated with week-long festivities aimed at strengthening pride
in the history and culture of Vigan. Visitors can start their
Vigan heritage solidarity festivities with the Repazzo de Vigan. This is a
parade that is participated in by all 39 barangays, specially the students and
members of non-governmental organizations. The participants dramatize the
Biguenos’ way of life from Spanish time up to the period after World War II
while they walk through the designated parade route, accompanied by music
.
In December 1999, Vigan City
was listed in the UNESCO World Heritage List of Sites and Monuments as the
city, which was established in the 16th century, is the “best-preserved
example of a planned Spanish colonial town in Asia. Its architecture reflects
the coming together of cultural elements from elsewhere in the Philippines,
from China and from Europe, resulting in a culture and townscape that have no
parallel anywhere in East and South-East Asia.
