Kannawidan Ylocos Festival

 

    Kannawidan is an Ilocano term meaning feast of rich heritage and culture. It marks the 198th foundation of Ilocos Sur, which separated the province from Ilocos Norte by a Royal Decree on February 2, 1818. The 2016 Kannawidan Ylocos festival of the province of Ilocos Sur formally opened. The festivity features the heritage culture of the province which dates back two centuries ago.

    The festival has so much importance to the Ilocanos, for it revives traditional practices that Ilocano elders passed on in the annual kannawidan Festival. The traditional opening displays the identity proofs that there is a culture that we have formed through the years, and we will continue our journey towards the future. The Kannawidan (local term for traditional practice) festival is also an occasion to strengthen the Ilocano culture, recognize Ilocos Sur's children, who brought honor to the province, celebrate the abundant harvest, or just celebrate the Ilocano spirit that continues to drive locals to boost the province.

Celebration of Christmas Season in its essence, amidst the COVID 19 Pandemic

      Like any other Catholic and Christian country in the world, the Philippines also celebrates Christmas but way longer than any other country in the world.

It is the time of the year when Filipino families usually reunite and do things together with much fun, vigor, and festivities.       But in this time of the coronavirus pandemic , Christmas merriments in the Philippines are different, unlike in previous times. Some, if not all the wonderful Christmas traditions and practices have to some extent been compromised. For instance, traditional gatherings with family, friends, and neighbors which are deemed unsafe and risky as they may facilitate the spread of the coronavirus have to some extent been discouraged and shifted online.  The number of people who can attend “simbang gabi” has been limited as we...

REFLECTION (QUARTER THREE)

       This grading is so remarkable for me. So many hardships I've had encountered in making my tasks.     Although, two months of the journey of the third-quarter period, many concepts were taught to us, such as the HTML Links, wherein we can link HTML files and link photos, and create our own web design.      I will continue to make HTML for my own web design. Someday, I'd be proud of myself that I've studied so hard, that I've created such a masterpiece. RESOURCES : Image used from  athlosstcloud.org

QUALITY EDUCATION DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC

  Not a long time ago when the whole world was hit by the virus COVID-19. We were all unprepared for the sudden attack. Mostly everything had stopped. Including education. But had resumed not long ago so time won’t be wasted. But, does this new delivery mode of lessons gives quality education to students?             As a student myself, it was really hard for me to keep up with the new modal of learning. I had a hard time learning by myself. I barely keep up with the lessons. What most students say is true, it was just online delivery, not online learning.             There are times that I got distracted by my laptop. Which is one of the biggest cons of this online modality. It involves gadgets. And it was just so hard to resist temptation.             It is still hard, but I am slowly coping with the new normal...
