Kannawidan Ilocano Festival

Image
    Kannawidan has a long history in Ilocos Sur. Kannawidan comes from the Ilocano word "tawid," which means "heritage" or "inheritance." Kannawidan got its start in 1992, when Guia Monroy Valenciano, then the vice-president of PCI Bank, started talking to acquaintances about starting a museum. The first night began with a dancing fountain show, followed by a drone light show and a spectacular fireworks display from the top of the New Legislative Building. As a tribute to all frontliners, the drone light show showed the strong character of Ilocosurians to not give up in the face of the pandemic. Following that, the Quirino Stadium hosted a comedy night. The Saniata Ti Ylocos beauty pageant was crowned on Kannawidan's second day. The Chef Wars Cooking Competition, which took place on the same day, was an exhibition of inventiveness and expertise for foodies. The festival was capped off on the third day with the LGBTQ Night, which featured a Your Face S...

Joy to the world full of challenges

Image
E very year, the Christmas season is the most anticipated occasion. Giving and receiving gifts, as well as exchanging hearts. Even in the midst of the pandemic, we still manage to be compassionate. We're having a good time with our loved ones. Last year's season was a little dull because we spent it mostly at home. Even with the epidemic, though, today's situation is different. I was able to go home at Vigan myself and go to see my friends and love ones. Then my entire family spent their vacation here, and we were able to appreciate the season as a whole. I'm hoping that this year will be the start of the changes and the end of the obstacles we've been given.  May the Christmas spirit bring everyone joy, the joy of Christmas bring you hope, and the warmth of Christmas bring you love. Rejoice in the Christmas spirit of peace, the Christmas miracle of hope, and the heart of Christmas, which is love.

Newly Vigan Fiesta celebration

Image
  The Vigan fiesta is one of the most anticipated events in Vigan, Ilocos Sur. Usually back in the days when there were no classes, no work, and everyone was celebrating Vigan. Going to carnivals and watching every group of people's parades. Those were the happy times that we all desired. Since the pandemic is still ongoing, I'm guessing it will be held online as well for everyone's safety. The Vigan City Fiesta is held on January 25th each year. It is observed on the feast day of St. Paul the Apostle's conversion. Vigan City's patron saint is St. Paul. St. Paul was known as Saul before his conversion, and he was a zealous persecutor of Christians. After having a personal encounter with Jesus Christ on his way to Damascus, his name was changed to Paul, and he endured many hardships and dangers in order to spread the word of God to distant lands. So let us do our best and wait for the right moment to restore normalcy.

"A new year, a new you"

              The holidays are over, 2022 has arrived, and it's time to get back to work. For some of us, last year was the worst year ever for staying at home fearing of the virus and being bored all day. However, this year must be the year of hope for change and a return to normalcy. Things are starting to return to normal now since almost all youngsters and grownups have been completely vaccinated. There have been hearings that there may be a possibility for face-to-face classes. Before that, we must all be prepared to return to work and bring out our best selves this year.

Celebrating the holidays despite dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic

  The holidays are approaching. The days of December have begun, and you can feel the cool breeze. It's time to set up a Christmas tree and begin decorating our halls with twinkling lights. It's time to reflect on the value of love. Giving and sharing gifts with friends and family is an important part of the Christmas season. Let us put our problems aside and rejoice in the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Christmas teaches us that, despite the pandemic's challenges, we must never forget the significance of joy and happiness. It is a tradition that helps us shape and keep our family connected in a special way over the holiday season. One of my favorite traditions is having a full family dinner on one night with friends, cousins, and the folks we care about. Giving and receiving presents, as well as exchanging cards. This explains everything that Christmas spirits are truly in our hearts.

"The pandemic's impact on us"

               Children and adults were both impacted by the Covid-19 epidemic. However, it is mostly the youngsters that are affected. Schools have been shuttered, education has been interrupted, many school activities have been missed, and school years have been delayed. As a result, the school days and events that we were intended to participate became useless. Our high school career had just come to an end, and we were about to miss out on some unforgettable moments. Today's education consists of a boring stay-at-home online class and self-study.
