Pride of Ilocano Culture

-
Ilocos Sur is a beautiful province rich in culture that represents the ancient Spanish and Filipino heritage. To show and share their treasures to the whole world, the locals conceived a festival that highlights these cultural traditions and they called it the “Kannadiwan Festival”. 

Kannawidan is the biggest event in Ilocos Sur, and Vigan starts the festivities as early as January 28. The highlight every year is the Street Dancing and Dance Show Down . It ended with a blast as the twenty two lively and vibrant groups from the different towns compete. Each performance featured their respective One Town One Product (OTOP) and portrayed their culture, values, tradition, main products and tourist spots of their municipality. The town was filled with a festive atmosphere as the crowd yells for their own bet while the contingents performed gracefully and energetic in the tune of kannawidan song with their multi-colored costumes. And ofcourse the “Partuat ken Patanor” is always present, an local Ilocano terms for “crafts and crop”. The trade fair is an annual activity of Kannawidan Festival that highlights Ilocano products from different cities and municipalities of Ilocos Sur, guest exhibitors from different regions were also given the chance to sell their local products. The other ancestral cultural activities in the festival include the zarzuela show, traditional games and pallot or cock games. 

Overall, the festival was very successful. For sure, everyone enjoyed it and will not forget the happiness it brings to us.

Wikang Filipino; Wika ng Saliksik

Sabi nila walang permanente sa mundo. Maraming pwedeng mawala at magbago. Maraming pwedeng magbago at maaring hindi na maibalik pa. Pero huwag sana nating hayaang ang wikang kinagisnan at kinalakihan natin ang magbago. Mga kabataan ngayon ay madami ng alam. Maraming mga salitang nabubuo sakanilang isipan. Binabaliktad ang mga salita, hinahaloan ng mga wikang Kano, salitang jejemon,mga balbal at pati lenggwahe ng mga baklang bekimon ay ginagaya.Ano pang halaga ng sarili nating wika? Kung gumagawa tayo ng iba at hindi ito ginagamit sa tama. Kung nais natin ay pagbabago, gamitin natin ang wikang mapagbago, wikang Filipino. Pausbungin at pagyamanin natin ito.Gamitin upang mas mapalawak ang kaisipan at ang ating pag-iisip sa mga bagay-bagay sa ating paligid. Sa pagtuklas ng mga bagong kaalaman. Lalo na sa Agham at Matematika. Dahil marami ka pang kailangang malaman sa mundo. Lalo na sa bayang kinatatayuan mo. Kaya kailangan mo munang simulan sa sariling bansa mo sa pamamagitan ng wikang F...

Independence Day: Must Remember

-
Before a caterpillar become a beautiful butterfly that flies freely, it needs to get out to a cocoon first. Just like how Filipinos before fight for our country to get out from the hands of the people who invaded and colonized Philippines. We owe our freedom to the untold number of Filipinos and soldiers who have fought and sacrificed their lives for our country. They fought to end the sufferings of the Filipinos who become slave because of the cruel Spaniards and other people who colonized Philippines. They were the true heroes. Because without them we might still suffering until now. We might still imprisoned and still inside a cocoon. That's why we need to celebrate the "Independence Day". To honor and remember their heroism. You can also be a hero like them. Because you don't need to have a power to be called one. Just love your own country and fight for it even if it cost your life.
