"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!

“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...

"The Battle of Bataan: The Bataan Death March"

              The Battle of Bataan happened during the World War II, began on January 6, 1942 and ended on April 9, 1942 as the Bataan troops surrendered. After the Filipino and American Bataan troops surrendered to the Japanese troops, the Bataan Death March happened.   Most of the prisoners(Bataan troops) began the long walk in Mariveles, at the tip of Bataan, and had to march the full 66 miles to the rail head; others joined along the way. The Japanese brutalized their captives during the march north to the trains that would take them to a prison camp. They beat them incessantly, sometimes to move them along, sometimes just for sport. Many of the prisoners were battle worn and incapable of keeping up the grueling pace of the march, especially in the tropical heat and with little water. Those who dropped from exhaustion or sickness, fell behind, broke ranks to fetch water, or tried to escape were bayoneted, shot, or ...

          New year, new me. I always encounter good and bad experiences every year but with those experiences, I'm learning something. Something that can make me a more better person, good and ideal man to everyone. There is no perfect person in this world, mistakes always happen, but that doesn't mean we will let ourselves keep on making mistakes but not learning anything from it. Through out the year 2021, I had encounter my ups and downs, my happy and sad moments, my tough and hard moments but thanks to this moments, I am now becoming stronger and better person.            New year is coming, it means new chapter of our life, new life experiences and encounters will come.

We all do fast flashbacks on what are the things we did this year, and what should we do to change or maintain those thing for next year. And by that, we will ...
