Ilocano Pride

-

Ilocos Sur is a lovely province located in the northern area of Luzon. It is a region wealthy in culture that addresses the ancient Spanish and Filipino heritage. To show and impart their fortunes to the entire world, local people imagined a celebration that features these cultural traditions and they considered it the "Kannadiwan Celebration".

 


                Keeping traditions alive is great and it is a reminder to future generations of the people that have come before them. keeping traditions alive proves to be difficult. Diversity in life is important for introducing new ideas and ways of being. However, a negative consequence of diversity is the lack of sanctity attached to traditions. Some believe that traditions are outdated or reflect a value system that is not applicable in today's world. The Ylocos Kannawidan festival promotes the product of each and every municipality. The celebration still took place amidst the ongoing pandemic. It just comes to show how the people of Ilocos sur cherish their History.

 

                To be able to celebrate the Ylocos Kannawidan Festival a lot of precautionary measure were taken. We should pass on our culture. Just like me, I am a Chinese, but I live on foreign soil. I will pass on to my children, the traditions and cultures that were passed onto me by my forbearers.

    I found your conclusion interesting because you stated there that you are a Chinese and you want to pass the traditions and cultures of Vigan on your children. It was so overwhelming that even foreign people are willing to share our traditions and cultures. You did a great job in sharing your ideas!

Binatbatan Festival

  Let’s start of with some history to this celebration, The Naturales of Vigan chose “Tres de Mayo” of 1883 in honor of Apo Lakay of the Simbaan a Bassit as an act of thanksgiving for having saved Vigan from a deadly epidemic in 1756. It evolved from this and majestically transformed today as the most colorful and significant festival to Bigueños as it focuses on the remembrance of Apo Lakay’s deliverance as well as promoting the local fabric, Abel Iloco. Along with the street pageantry of the Binatbatan Street Dancing, it also emphasizes Agriculture with its Karbo festival, Calesa Parade and the Santacruzan.                   We continue to celebrate this historic event which took place a hundred years ago. This shows our dedication to keeping our culture alive and never forgetting what happened back then. Even though the pandemic rages on, e continue to celebrate but also follow the health safety ...

Women Empowerment

  During the month of March, we give a little extra attention to all the amazing accomplishments of strong, determined women. Women should have the same rights as men and be free and not enslaved by men. We are all human and there is no difference.                   Women should be empowered and be able to express what they want. Being able to vote, having the same rights as a man and being treated the same. These are things that should have been in place for a long time but because of standards back then they were not. Now that we are in the 21 st century it is enjoying seeing that everybody is equal, no one is higher than another. God created us and he did not look at one sex higher than the other, in his eyes we are all the same and we should continue that.                   Empowering girls and women is powerful...

TIME IS RUNNING OUT

  Every three seconds, the world loses enough forest to cover a football pitch and over the last century, we have destroyed half of our wetlands. As much as 50 percent of our coral reefs have already been lost and up to 90 percent of coral reefs could be lost by 2050, even if global warming is limited to an increase of 1.5°C. COVID-19 emergence and spread has highlighted how shrinking the area of natural habitat for animals, can create ideal conditions for pathogens – including coronaviruses – to spread. This World Environment Day, we focus on ecosystem restoration and its theme is “Reimagine. Recreate. Restore.” Ecosystem restoration means healing nature and reversing the damage caused by humans. This World Environment Day will also kick off the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021-2030), a global mission to revive billions of hectares, from forests to farmlands, from the top of mountains to the depth of the sea.   We don’t have much time left to save nature. Every mo...
