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.

2nd Phase

The second quarter of this academic year was really challenging after surviving the first. Compared to the first one, it was very different. I felt that our lessons were a little more difficult to comprehend. I have to be honest and say that I haven't been performing well in some topics, possibly due to a lack of comprehension and concentration. However, attending class was still a lot of fun. This 2nd quarter, I have felt how deep our responsibilities as students are. We had a lot of activities to make, and projects we should finish. We had sleepless nights finishing our research, but, we survived. With our exams coming up, I know that it will be much tougher this time, but I know that we'll be able to pull it through again.

This is still the second phase; it could be difficult, but we must all be patient and try our best. W...
