Vigan Longganisa: A Taste of Tradition Through Community-Based Research

When introduced to Community-Based Research (CBR), I knew this project would be special. Sure, I'd done research before, but CBR meant diving into a topic that hit close to home – the world-famous Vigan Longganisa!

Having grown up in Vigan City, the smoky aroma of Longganisa frying has always been a comforting part of my life. But this CBR project was a chance to go beyond the deliciousness and explore the story behind this local treasure.

From Pressure to Collaboration

Forming our groups and realizing it was CBR brought a wave of excitement (and maybe a little pressure!). Deadlines loomed, and we had a lot to learn. But Vigan City's spirit of community shone through as we started working together.

As the leader, I delegated tasks while also delving into my own research on Longganisa production. There were moments when I pitched in for others, but seeing my group's enthusiasm kept me motivated.

The Heart of the Project

Interviewing Process

One of the most rewarding parts of the project was interviewing local Longganisa makers. Stepping into their production spaces, filled with the now-familiar Longganisa aroma, was a sensory experience. But more importantly, their passion and knowledge were inspiring.

These weren't just interviews – they were conversations with the heart of Vigan's culinary heritage. The Longganisa makers weren't just sharing their secrets; they were sharing a piece of Vigan's history and culture.

From Research to Reality

Building a Digital Legacy

With our CBR research complete, we embarked on the next exciting step: building a website using HTML tags. This is where things got really fun! While I had a basic understanding of HTML, applying it to showcase Vigan's Longganisa tradition was a whole new challenge.

Creating the website solidified the importance of those HTML skills and codes. But more than that, it felt like we were building a digital legacy for Vigan's Longganisa makers. Their knowledge and passion deserved a platform, and we were determined to create it.

CBR: A Journey of Learning and Appreciation

This CBR project wasn't just about research and websites. It was about community, collaboration, and a newfound appreciation for Vigan's Longganisa. It was a journey from gathering information to sharing the story of a local treasure.

So, the next time you savor the smoky goodness of Vigan Longganisa, remember the generations of tradition and passion that went into making it. And maybe, just maybe, you'll also get a whiff of the inspiration and collaboration that went into this CBR project!

Like Longganisa, CBR's a Product of Progress
