         It is such a great history to celebrate big festivals like Kannawidan Festival. This said festival is rich in cultural activities, segments, contests, and showoffs. KAnnawidan Festival is celebrated from January 28 to February 17 that corresponds with the commemoration festivity of Ilocos Sur and its yearly  celebration  out of appreciation for its anniversary.  Many townsmen are entertained because of different activities that are held on the avenue or in Ilocano, "pag-Kannawidan." this place is for entertainment, fun, and food.         They offer the One Town, One Product (OTOP), where they showcase their significant products;  Vigan - Longganisa,  Santiago  - Handloomwoven Products,  Lidlidda  - Smoked Meat (Etag), and many more. This is not only for the delicacies, but it is the strong history of it.          A pageant of beauty and brains is also conducted in ...

It is very sad to celebrate our fiesta in our own house. No parades, games, dance showdowns and many activities are cancelled because of the pandemic. These traditions are on blood to be celebrated but they are all gone because of the pandemic. However, Vigan CIty government made some online program and activities that we can participate. One example is the Vigan City Trivia Night where I won a 32 inches smart tv for the question “what is the vision of Vigan City”. This year was boring because of cancelled activities but it is for our safety. I hope that we can feel the true spirit of the fiesta in bonding with our own family. https://secureservercdn.net/192.169.220.85/v4j.8ec.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/20200120-PAGEONE-Longganisa-Festival-Featured-Image-768x432.jpg

         August 18 was the day when a 6.6 magnitude earthquake affects and disturbed the province of Masbate in Bicol Region. The earthquake left one person dead, injured 51 people and 3700 people have been affected. Hearing this kind of news made me pity them. Resilience and Readiness has been a good help to lower the damage and casualties. A good example of this readiness is the government’s implementation of “simultaneous earthquake drills” on different LGU’s, organization and school on properly handling this kind of situation. In addition they also teach how to do first aid on assisting  patients or victims who encountered accidents upon earthquakes. As our government implements programs, we need to cooperate and put the lessons in our mind. We should also share this knowledge on our relatives to spread the steps or ways incase we encounter calamities like earthquakes and accidents.

    The year 2020 is over which has given accidents and life-threatening incidents. One of these is the pandemic that causes people to lose their jobs and businesses. Everything has not been easy, especially for the unlucky and have a family. Education is also affected. This year was the reason I was so lonely. Sometimes, the silence makes us sad. Everything has not been easy, especially if you have people you want to see, but a pandemic is the reason.We missed a lot and missed everyone.   This caused me to see the value of the presence, time and efforts of the people around. There are many self-deficiencies that are realized. There are many inaccuracies that want to change. A lot of talent are wasted because it was not cultivated. Many friends are lost due to loss of connection and communication. Many people fail. There are hopes that has not been shown. Many are lost.   CHANGES. Now   its 2021 and I want to be prosperous. I will Grow-Up. Not only in ...

  Over the years, much has happened and changed. It is not only love that warms up but the world as well. It would be okay if this is a good effect but this is a condition that results to a bad situation. Do we really need Mother Earth becauese she provides our needs or do we love her because she is our mother?   With the constant warming of the weather, there will be an increase in the number of people which means more materials will be needed. And we will get only the sources of necessity to our Mother Nature. Everyone is confused as to what to do and what methods can be used now with that we are facing a pandemic.   A huge platform and technology is constantly evolving and it is called Social Media. Facebook, Instagram and Twitter are examples of platforms that serve as the second world of people where they record their thoughts and images that in a day. It can be used to expand and provide real information to people. With just one click, you can share information rega...

                    They say, “education is the strongest weapon in changing the world” but how can it be strong if we do not feel, see, do and experience what they are discussing and teaching.             Not all young people are blessed with learning materials and equipment. Others are among the unfortunate families where their parents are unemployed where they have no source of daily expenses including the internet for online classes and fares for getting modules. Many young people also choose not to continue their education because they do not like online or modular classes or they do not have money for it. However, DEPED takes actions and ways to improve the learning of the majority. They are still encouraging to continue the class of young people because they believe that the youth will make the people up.     ...

                  The world is spinning, time is changing but the heart remains red and strong because of the humanitarian work on display. Problems are faced with high forehead and whole heart just to achieve success.             Problems are no longer feared because everyone will help solve and resolve the problem. People have lessons about godliness, humanity, nature and nationalism that are used to make decisions that are good according to a situation. People are constantly studying and developing themselves so that everyone is prepared for the disasters or problems they will face. Young people are starting to talk about community issues today. And because of these activities, we can show that we are capable and can handle things.             We Filipinos are like ants working together to r...
