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. For Filipinos, Christmas is one of the most important holidays. Filipinos love to celebrate Christmas with family, relatives, and friends. 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

REFLECTION (QUARTER TWO)

      After almost two months, another quarter of the school year had passed. The past weeks had been really so tough for me. This quarter had taught me a lot of things. I've learned how to code. Although that wasn't really my interest, I had fun making it.      Though, as a normal student, I had encountered some challenges in finishing the tasks. I am really bad at time management. But, as I slowly do my tasks one by one, I finally finished my tasks, which is a great relief for me.      Moving on, I will try to continue to study more coding. As I said, I really had fun making it. I really like creating the HTML. RESOURCES : Image used from athlosstcloud.org
