Ylocos Fully Diverse Culture : Kannawidan Ylocos Festival '22


Kannawidan Festival is indeed one of the most beautiful festivals in the country. You can not only see their products, you can also see its people showcasing of indigenous performances, religious rituals, as well cooking demos featuring the best of Ilocano dishes. The Kannawidan Ylocos Festival encourages the younger generations to learn the indigenous songs and dances of the province of Ilocos Sur.

 

As the final week of January comes into action, Biguenos and other Ilocos Surians all gather in the Tamag Grounds to celebrate one of the events that would set the bar for the year, the Kannawidan. This celebration is very special to the hearts ilocanos, because these are days filled with joy in different activities, and not only that there is also a marketplace that consists of food courts, botanical shops, furniture stores, bonsai displays and an art gallery all located in the main venue.

 

Kannawidan Ylocos Festival 2019 was the last time the event got big, because of the onset of quarantines and lockdowns caused by the virus, the celebration of Kannawidan 2022 was constricted with strict protocols just like requiring a vaccination card and ID and not letting anyone under the age of 16, especially without a face mask. Despite these, it was still a major improvement over the past 2 years.  Headed by Gov. Ryan Luis Singson, together with Vice Governor Jeremias C. Singson, Kannawidan 2022 was held. During the opening ceremony a grand show of fireworks is always expected to symbolize the beginning of the Festival.  The second night, the “Saniata ti Ylocos” was held and we witnessed the coronation of a Vigan representative for the first time and the queen responsible was Richelle Anne Puesto. The whole celebration as wrapped up with the LGBTQ night on the third day, the program was great in raising the anti-discrimination against the gays.

 

The festival is such an important occasion that can’t be missed. it only happens once a year. A year without Kannawidan in Ilocos Sur is not a complete year, anymore. It is even the first festival to be celebrated as it indicates that there will be more happiness and fun to come. So even in the middle of a health crisis, even in a depressing moment, that precious festival is still celebrated. Why? It is simply because the festival is already in the heart of every Ilocanos. To not forget is what matters. To good times and bad. Sure Ilocos Sur.

The Quality of Education continues in the midst of the Pandemic

The Quality of Education continues in the midst of the Pandemic     The CoVid-19 Crisis has significantly affected both social and economic sectors in the Philippines, one of them being the education sector. It has brought upon us many challenges and difficulties that are likely to have long-term effects on the potential of children.      As Sec. Briones had said, “Education is not going to be the same as education during my time or during your time. It’s going to change, and the change has already started. We already recognize the signals; we see the increased role of technology and science. We see the need to encourage not only our teachers but our learners to not only specialize and memorize; but to know many things, to know how to analyze, to know how to be objective, to know how to come to break a problem apart, and come up with a solution. And so, despite the too many challenges and problems during the educational era of the pandemic, education continues...
