Viva Vigan! Longanisa Festival!

 



    Vigan is home to different festivals, and the Longganisa Festival is the kick off of these cultural celebrations in the city. As it jumpstarts other celebrations in the region, the city government of Vigan usually makes sure that the locals and tourists will experience nothing but the best. The Longganisa Festival is held every 22nd day of January, the commemoration of the cityhood anniversary and the Vigan City Fiesta is on January 25th, the feast day of St. Paul, our Patron St. These double celebration revolved on the thanksgiving for all the gains that the city have reaped over the past years.

    The city of Vigan are already celebrating the Longganisa Festival for nearly a decade. It actually became a traditional cultural festival that are being celebrated by the Biguenos on every 25th month of January. And, there are about thousands of locals and foreign visitors that usually attends the event. Just like other festival celebrations, there's street dancing and other various activities that help promote Vigan's longganisa product.



    Me and my friends decided to go watch ta street dancing. Street dancing here in Vigan is very popular because I saw a lot of tourist watched the street dancing.



    All the street dancers danced very well with their unique choreo. We can see that they've put their very best through their outstanding performances and efforts during the street dancing parade.


    
    Due to the Vigan Longganisa Festival, the sausage become well-known throughout the country and some countries abroad. Unfortunately, there are some fake Vigan native sausages that started to circulate around the market. Thus, to protect the integrity of Vigan's original native longganisa, the local government had issued a financial support for packaging the products. Through the improved packaging of the sausage, buyers will be able to distinguish original Vigan sausages from the fake.

Three Fourths

  The School year is soon coming to an end, this past eight weeks may have been stressful, frustrating and annoying, despite all the setbacks I still thoroughly enjoyed this year’s lessons. Although the lessons were fun, I wouldn’t say it’s easy, after all nothing in this life is easy, only hardships. For this quarter’s ICT lessons, it’s about research, and I am not happy about this, although it is far easier than our normal research subject as we are able to choose between categories. Despite this, I am so tried of research, and I don’t write want to write essays upon essays. Although I am quite glad it isn’t as complicated as our main research subject and we can use an easier method for conducting research. Moving on, I will carry all the learnings taught to me during this quarter of the School Year all throughout my journey as a student

Holy Week

  Holy Week is a significant religious observance for Christians around the world. It commemorates the passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday, which commemorates Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem, and ends with Easter Sunday, which celebrates Jesus' resurrection from the dead. During Holy Week, Christians participate in various religious traditions and practices, including attending church services, praying, fasting, and reflecting on the meaning of Jesus' sacrifice. It is a time of solemnity and contemplation, as well as a time of hope and renewal. Last Holy Week, I spent time with my family at our hometown. We went to church together. We also enjoyed bonding moments at home, preparing meals together. It was a simple yet meaningful time spent with my loved ones, reflecting on our faith and cherishing each other's company.

Change Starts with ME

Image
  We all want to see change in the world. We want to see less poverty, less hunger, less war, and more peace. We want to see a world where everyone has access to education, healthcare, and opportunity. The truth is, change starts with us. It starts with each individual making a commitment to make a difference. It starts with each of us choosing to be the change we want to see in the world. There are many small things we can do to make a difference. We can volunteer our time to a local charity. We can donate to a cause we care about. We can recycle and conserve energy. We can be kind and compassionate to others. These small acts of kindness may seem insignificant, but they can have a big impact. They can inspire others to make a difference as well. And when enough people make a difference, it can create real change in the world. So don't wait for someone else to make the change you want to see. Start with yourself. Be the change you want to see in the world. REFERENCE: teepublic(202
