"Viva Vigan Fiesta in New Normal"


        The celebration of Vigan City Fiesta is held in honour of St. Paul the Apostle, the City's patron, has been a traditional doing of the City Government of Vigan and the bigueños every January 25, every year. Locals and tourists gather to experience and see the street dancing, carnivals, food fairs, and arts and crafts, adding to the attraction of this UNESCO World Heritage City.

        But due to the pandemic, the traditional way of celebrating Vigan City Fiesta has stopped and changed. Last year, the City Government and the bigueños celebrated it through online. Many contest/competition happened through online like street dancing family edition, longganisa cook contest and many more.

        The usual way of celebrating the fiesta has change due to the pandemic, but the essence and the pure message of the festival still remains the same.

    As a Bigueno, I believe that it is traditions and cultures like these that keep the fiesta spirit alive. Even in these difficult circumstances, we must remember to mark this milestone in tiny ways. And the spirit of the fiesta lives on in our warm hearts, not only those of Biguenos, but of Ilocandia as a whole!

"New Chapter: Realizations and Changes"

“The Right Type of Resilience”

       We Filipinos are known because of our resiliency. Resilience means the capacity to recover quickly from problems or difficulties. The Philippines is very vulnerable to disasters, it is one of the natural hazard-prone countries in the world. The country is highly prone to natural disasters like earthquakes, tropical cyclones, floods, and volcanic eruptions. Destructions of agricultural products, houses, and government properties always happen after a disaster. But Filipinos will try to overcome this suffering and traumatic disaster experience, showing their resiliency.      In an article written by Pamela, she stated that “Every time, the Filipino nation has to endure, brave the chaos, and stand up the next day. It is from this that we’ve grown to be called a resilient nation. Because we have had to become one.” Being resilient is not a bad thing, but we tend to forget that we’re supposed to be striving for something more. What we need to do af...

"Education: A Right and Not a Privilege"

            Many things has been change because of the COVID-19 pandemic that also causes the whole world to shut down. Last school year, schools here in the Philippines did not open and learning happened through online classes and distance learning. As a student, since it’s my first experience to do learning alone in a whole school year, I feel so exhausted and stressed during those times. There are times that I feel like I can’t continue studying anymore, that I can’t finish all my works in time and many more thoughts that made my energy down in the whole school year. I feel bad for myself because I did not adapt all the things that I need to learn that year because of the pressure I felt.          The new normal of learning is really hard for us students because not all of us can access internet or sometimes we have slow connection, and also lack of gadgets to use especially to those students who are expe...
