Intayon ag Kannawidan!

Every year between the final week of January and the first week of February, the Kannawidan Festival is held. It is the Ilocanos' way of thanking the Almighty for both their many bounties and the province's rich legacy, which includes their close-knit familial relationships. Kannawidan means "nakaugalian" or "tradition" in Tagalog. This festival was established to highlight the rich culture of the province in a variety of areas, including the arts, agriculture, music, food, and more. It is customary for a mass to be celebrated at the St. Paul Metropolitan Cathedral during the festival's official opening. Then, it is followed by a procession

of the Patron Saints of the 40 parishes and images of Jesus Christ and Virgin Mary around Vigan City.

The events in Kannawidan are plenty. A pageant that took place in February is included in this. Ms. Vigan City won the title of Ms. Ilocos Sur 2023 and took home the crown. 1

The other contenders, though, were also highly intelligent and performed admirably on the pageant night. Additionally, a street dancing competition, featured participants from various municipalities of Ilocos Sur.

Lastly, there was a float parade where individuals from several communities in Ilocos Sur created intriguing and distinctive floats. Jerry Singson, the Governor, was seen riding a float that resembled a calesa in this parade.

This festival clearly proven the uniqueness of Ilocanos. You can tell how creative and gifted they are. Their artistic abilities significantly contributed to the vibrant and exciting atmosphere of this festival. Bright smiles were evident during the events, as is expected of Ilocanos. Everyone was extremely excited and delighted.

One Step Closer

This 3rd grading period, I have felt how tiring and draining it was for us. There were lots of sleepless nights, and every each of us were deprived for sleep. It was all because of the numerous activities from our school. It could be physical activities, written works and quizzes. Though, no matter how tiring it was, we still managed to have fun, enjoy, and get through it. For so many blood, sweat and tears spent, we're now almost in the final step. As this quarter ends, I have realized that we all went through a lot. Yet, those hardships we went through really paid off. I saw how hard we all worked for our achievements, especially if it was an as a whole class output. No matter how challenging it was, it was never a reason for us to give up. We're now 1 step closer to the end, and I am beyond proud for all of the achievements we have done. To more greater achievements!!

My Most Memorable Heart's Day

The day of romance and love is Valentine's Day. It's the day you celebrate love with the ones who are most important to you. You may do it with your loved ones, a friend, or a particular someone. Valentine's Day is about more than just romance; it's also a day to show your love and affection for the people in your life. Giving gifts and letters are one of the ways to show your love towards them. Every year, I celebrate valentine's with my mama. We would go on different places and try out food. We would also buy the things we've been wanting as a way of spoiling ourselves. With just the two of us celebrating, I am still able to enjoy it, because my mama is the most special person in my life. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to buy her a gift because of how busy I was with school. So, we just went out and ate. This year, my valentine's day is much different. I celebrated in school with my friends and we all exchanged hugs and laughter. Also, I received a gif...
