Long live Vigan!


      


          Vigan City fiesta is one of the biggest events in the Province of Ilocos Sur.  It is held every January 25 and it features different activities that nourished and promotes our diverse cultures as Bigueños. 
        
            The fiesta itself is a manifestation of the Bigueños' love for the history and tradition of Vigan City. The Vigan City fiesta have been a “balik-bayan” incentives, or come-ons for expatriates, to visit or come back for good to the town. Showcasing different cultures of Bigueños, the City Government of Vigan presents the Longganisa Street dancing Competition, Longganisa Cookfest, and more. But more than the fun that the town fiesta grants, it is a commemoration of conversion of St. Paul. 

        The fiesta is here to stay to keep Bigueños reaching out to the future as they stake out in the present while reminiscing the past.

Last year was an immense breakdown for my family. My two grandparents passed away and we're still mourning. But it was a good year at least. I traveled to Thailand, I started debating, and I turned 17 which is cool. Despite of the dramas that happened in the year 2019, I was able to stand up. For some people who may know, I was never been fully healed. Yes, I won't deny that fact but I choose to be vigorous. Looking back to those moments of darkness was an epiphany that revamp my perspective in life. This time I totally understand the way of life. Now, this new decade, I planned to live my life with colors and prime.  I will leave a quote: "It has been said, 'time heals all wounds. 'I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone."

Values Month; beyond the barriers of values education

Image
      This month, another tremendous event has been brought by the people behind the success of the Values Month Celebration. It is a time where students and teachers extend their learning experience through the activities prepared by the ESP Department and ESP Club.    In this case, the students will fully understand the significance of Values Education. Every school year at the month of November, we celebrate the Values Month and it is really a must to participate.  Values education  is teaching and  learning  about the ideals that a society deems important. The aim is for students not only to understand the  values , but also to reflect them in their attitudes and behavior, and contribute to society through good citizenship and ethics.     Values education therefore promotes tolerance and understanding above and beyond our political, cultural and religious differences, putting special emphasis on the  de...

REFLECTION

Another chapter has ended. Learning something new is very exciting and interesting. It may be be hard but i am sure that it'll be helpful and make things more beautiful if we applied what we have learned. This 3rd grading of ICT 10 is very hard. For me, it is hard to understand and learn how to put some designs in your own web page. You have to look every single detail of your work because it will not appear what you want to see in your page if you don't review your page twice or thrice. You may disappoint your self if it gone wrong and you have no choice, you have to edit it again and again until it will work. In this grading, it also taught me that you should have a better understanding. Also, patience and determination is also learned. It may seem hard but if you have these, you can make your work more better than what you expected.
