The Kannawidan Ilocos competition has become an annual associate competition aimed at raising awareness of the preservation of the province's rich cultural heritage, customs and traditions and a display of the various agricultural and agricultural practices.   One of the provinces that is rich when it comes to culture and tradition is Ilocos Sur. The food and cuisine of Ilocanos is also very delicious and special, pushing other Filipinos from different parts of the Philippines as well as tourists to come and experience the festival. The opportunity to display their own specialties from their own places is granted to the native people. This is through the Fair for Food and Trade. Similarly to skills, showdown results.

Vigan City Fiesta amidst the ongoing pandemic

Image
The Vigan City Fiesta is held every January 25. It is celebrated during the feast day of the conversion of St. Paul the Apostle. St. Paul is Vigan City’s patron saint. The fiesta commemorates the town's patron saint, St Paul the Apostle, with a parade, musical performances, beauty contests and cultural shows.                   Biguenos from all over the country and even abroad return to Vigan, as it is the custom of Filipinos to return to their hometown to join their family and friends in the celebration of their fiesta. But due to the ongoing pandemic, most of the people’s plans are cancelled and the fiesta changed as well because we have to follow the protocols.                   We don’t have a choice but to cooperate and adapt to the current changes since this is also for our safety. image retrieved at: https://www.go...

Hopes For This Year

Image
  I’ve been living in this world for 16 years and the year 2020 is by far the worst year I’ve encountered yet. This is due to the covid-19 quarantine, not able to go outside for months has changed me, my daily routine, etc. turning myself into a shut-in-like person. 2020 was the worst. It’s now 2021, “New Year. New Me” Hoping that I would actually become a more better and respectable person this year. But the things I hope to improve/change isn’t all about me, but also everyone around me(my family, friends, etc). I’m hoping that this year will become one of the best years in my life. And I’m wishing this virus will completely disappear and let us, humans go back to our usual lives.  Images retrieved from: http://www.pngall.com/wp-content/uploads/4/Calendar-2021-Transparent.png  https://www.google.com/search?q=new+year+new+me+&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwjqgeqhga_uAhVXBd4KHdvXBAIQ2-cCegQIABAA&oq=new+year+new+me+&gs_lcp=CgNpbWcQAzIECCMQJzIECAAQQzIECAAQQzIECAAQQzIECA...

Thoughts and Experience

Image
                    It was always a face to face class from kinder to highschool but since this pandemic has started we all have no choice but to adjust and get used to this “new normal” learning. During this first quarter, I really learned a lot and discovered many things.                 During this quarter, I encountered problems. An example of this is having a difficult time learning or understanding a lesson, and because of this it’ll take me some time to finish a particular task because there’s no one there to teach us and have to rely on concept notes that are incomplete. Another one is, staying up all night just to finish it on time.                 I experienced problems during this quarter but that aside, I started to get used to this “new ...

Harsh Reality

Image
                                  The earth asks us to take care of it so that in doing so we take care of ourselves and our future generations and humans, plants, animals, air, water. The earth provides us a place to live, a place to sustain our humanly needs. The earth gives us food, shelter, air, and basically everything we need to survive. But what’s going on now? Earth takes care of us, it provides us our needs but what are we, the humans doing? Completely the opposite.. We’re slowly destroying the only place that we are able to live in.                   Most people are probably familiar with the environmental dilemma of global warming. Many ask “Why is it such a big deal – I mean, temperature changes all the time and we can just adapt, right...

Be Prepared or Face the Consequences

Image
  The Philippines is one of the countries most prone to natural disasters. This is due to its location along the Ring of Fire, or typhoon belt – a large Pacific Ocean region where many of Earth's volcanic eruptions and earthquakes occur.   There is currently no way to reliably predict when an earthquake will happen, its strength or length. Earthquakes can vary in their magnitude, the size of the earthquake at its source, and length, lasting from seconds to minutes. Which makes it dangerous for us humans and there are many effects of earthquakes on humans, effects that are life   threatening and that is why it is important to take part in earthquake drills to be prepared, otherwise you will be in danger and even lose your life.   The importance of taking a part in National Simultaneous Earthquake Drill program of the government is to be prepared for unexpected disasters.

It's Time To Get Used To It.

  This Covid-19 pandemic has changed people’s lives in many ways. People has lost their family, their lives, their jobs you name it. Education during the pandemic is hard, but not just on students but the teachers too.             Schools have made up their minds, they either choose modular learning or online classes to secure the safety and future of the students. Both ways are hard because not everyone meet the requirements for it. Like internet connection, devices that can be used for online classes and for searching. It’s hard especially in modular learning, the parents will go outside and go to school to pass the outputs of their children and get their next modules, it’s really risky to go outside knowing the virus is still spreading.             As a student, education during the pandemic is really hard because sometimes we do not have the materials for specific a...
