Festivals happen yearly in the Philippines. It was like, not celebrating it once a year feels so wrong. It is already part of the tradition. It happens in every corner of the country. Every town has its own festive.
In the city of Vigan, the Longganisa Festival happens yearly. Observed every twenty-fifth of January, in honor of Saint Paul the Apostle, the city's patron saint. Celebrating it means a lot to our culture. It also boosts the place. Attracts a lot of foreigners.
But then, this year, the global pandemic had changed the yearly event of Vigan City. With utter safety precautions, a low-key celebration of the festival was held, with the help of government officials.
Celebrating festivals during this pandemic is really challenging. Social distancing must be kept. All the instructions should be properly carried out to avoid incidents, like the sudden boosts of COVID-19 patients. A lot of adjusting to the new normal celebration of the festivals.
But Filipino citizens, being Filipinos, the celebration will always be carried with many positive emotions.
