KANNAWIDAN YLOCOS FESTIVAL AMIDST PANDEMIC

-

Kannawidan Ylocos Festival is one of the most enjoying fiestas of Ilocos Sur. Kannawidan Festival is an annual festival to promote and preserve the culture of the province and its traditions. This festival is a very significant fiesta to every resident in the province of Ilocos Sur as they are celebrating the foundation of Ilocos Sur as a province under the Royal Decree signed on February 2, 1818. But this year, 2022 because of the ongoing Covid-19 Pandemic Kannawidan Festival is not that festive compared to other years. Kannawidan means heritage or inheritance and in Ilocano means “tawid”.



Kannawidan is a place for showcasing the traditions and cultures of different parts of Ilocos Sur. Kannawidan Festivals also have the highlights including the street dancing, marching band competition, trade fair, and chorale competition, and the most important part is the “one town, one product” of every town in Ilocos Sur. This year is different because of the Pandemic. Many activities were canceled just like the street dancing competition. The struggle is real during this celebration. People will maintain their social distancing and wearing face masks and face shields and also sanitize their selves. People going to the trade fair also maintain social distancing and also have to write their names as for the contact tracing that they would do in case there is a Covid positive. Kannawidan Ylocos Festival 2022 is not the same compared to previous years.

 


Kannawidan Ylocos Festival is great and you can learn a lot. Kannawidan is a celebration of the cultures and traditions of the Province of Ilocos Sur. It is also a celebration to preserve the doings of the people. The festival is beautiful because it has a great impact on its audience for it shows the traditions and cultures of the residence of the province. Kannawidan Ylocos Festival is evidence that the province is diverse. 2021 Kannawidan Festival is not the same as before but the most important is that the people would not forget their traditions and cultures despite the ongoing pandemic.

    I really like how you include the things that we should do especially that we are experiencing pandemic and it is really important for us to wear mask and maintain the social distancing. I am happy how much we love our culture and how we preserve them because it shows the traditions and cultures of the residence of the province.

MY TWO CENTS ON YOUR SIX-YEAR TERM OUR DEAR PRESIDENT DUTERTE

Your term is about to end. I just want to express my views and opinions about your promises when you are still campaigning in order to earn our votes. Your war on drugs, fight against corruption, fight against illegal gambling and your “Build, Build, Build” project are your main platform of governance.   WAR ON DRUGS During your term, “Big-Fishes” are being identified as drug lords. Police generals, politicians and other big-time drug lords were identified and some were even killed during police raid operations. Many users and pushers surrendered. The values of drugs confiscated during drug raids were at an all-time high, even amounting to billions of pesos. Mr. President, I would like to commend you for a job well done. But I just have one concern, please spare the lives of the minor victims because they can still be reformed and lead successful lives. FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission was established under your term. Many corrupt government officials we

A HOLIDAY SEASON CANNOT BE GUTTED BY THE PANDEMIC

The Christmas season is here! However, we are still in the midst of a global epidemic that turned our life upside down. Many people are asking if there is a way to make the holidays more festive this year, or if we will simply have to let it go this year. The COVID-19 pandemic has been stressful and isolating for many people. The year 2020 has already proven itself to be a difficult year, and at this point it's expected that our Christmas celebration will look a little different too. Many of people lost their jobs, business, and still finding a way on how to recover. But a global pandemic doesn't have to ruin the festive season completely. We can still celebrate Christmas this year in our own little ways. Christmas is a season of giving, but remember that presence is more important than gifts. To make your Christmas party complete, you don't need to acquire tangible items. I hope we understand that having a fun time with our loved ones is more important than material stuff.

A TIMID SOUL

  My name is Gwyneth Selwyn Timbreza. I am a Grade 10 student at Ilocos Sur National Highschool. My birthday is November 08, 2005 and I was born and raised at Tamag, Vigan City. My parents are Mr. Lawrence Glenn Timbreza and Mrs. Joanne Timbreza. I have two older brothers named Nick and Kent, and I am going to tell you something about myself… I was a shy person back in kindergarten to elementary.  The only person I spoke to was my cousin, I had trouble socializing at the time .  I never wanted to participate in class activities because I was afraid of making mistakes. I have many goals  in life and I knew that I would never achieve them If I am not very social. I tried gaining confidence by trying to start a conversation with a person from my class. Each day I kept practicing by talking to my classmates.  Eventually, I started to feel comfortable with the people around me. I have a group of friends; they were very kind and even volunteered to help me overcome my  timidity. They
