Kannawidan Insight

-
Ilocos Sur is a beautiful province located in the northern part of Luzon. It is a province rich in culture that represents the ancient Spanish and Filipino heritage. To show and share their treasures to the whole world, the locals conceived a festival that highlights these cultural traditions and they called it the "Kannadiwan Festival". It is a celebration that lasts from the last week of January up to the first week of February. Included in the course of events is the commemoration of the foundation day of the province.
 
For me, the Kannawidan gives fun to the whole province of Ilocos Sur. Because there are lots of activities and competitions that are held during this festival. These activities are: boodle fight, a ritual followed by the presentation of Ilocano traditions spiced with sports events, the Miss Saniata 2016, Mass and procession at the Saint Paul Cathedral, fireworks display, and the grand finals of the Siglat Ilocandia (search for talented Ilocanos), motor show, concerts, search for the biggest agriculture products and livestock, quiz bee, poetry writing, cook fest, fashion show and comedy night, and many more. These are held at Vigan City as it is the center City of Ilocos Sur. But even though Vigan is too far away for some of the Ilokano's they still make a way in order to witness the different happenings in celebrating the said festival. Aside from this, during the different shows, there are different artists who makes the celebration happier and memorable. And also, if you want to have a walk you can enter the built market (i don't know what it's called) wherein there are lots of things you can see inside. There are the different products of each town of Ilocos Sur, different decorations inside the house, different kinds of food, and many more. Near the stage, there's also a carnival for the children to enjoy.

What about you? Did you enjoy the celebration of Kannawidan Festival? Is it memorable to you? What have you experienced during the said festival? Well, I know you had a lot of fun. Because me? I can say that it's the best festival ever.

I can say that ICT is an interesting subject. This st a nds for "Information and Communication Technologies." ICT refers to technologies that provide access to information through telecommunications . It is similar to  Information Technology  (IT), but focuses primarily on communication technologies. This includes the Internet,  wireless networks, cell phones, and others.   Nowadays, we are sorrounded by lots of machines and different equipments that are products of the modern technology.  Marvelous progress has been made in science and technology in the last century. Some people think that modern technology is crucial to humans’ development and brings great convenience while some individuals believe that life will be more enjoyable without complex technology. However, I view that the positive aspects of technology improvements overweight the negative ones.  In ICT 10, I gained a lot of informations regarding internet. I also learned on how to search in the internet in

Filipino's Resiliency

As we all know the Philippines is located at the Pacific Ring of Fire and near the West Basin. This is the reason why there are lots of calamities that the Filipino people are experiencing. Typhoons, floods, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and tsunamis are the most dangerous calamities that are occurring in the Philippines. But despite of these calamities Filipinos still manage to smile, a sweet and genuine smile. In the year 2013, at the month of November, super typhoon Yolanda strikes the City of Tacloban. Many properties were destroyed and many lives were lost. Typhoon Yolanda became a nightmare to the people but the survivors became stronger after this calamity. They still manage to be happy despite of the damages that Yolanda brought to them. Even though darkness is taking over they still find a little ray of sunshine to lighten the sorrounding. And little by little they are now slowly recovering. Just like the post that i've seen on facebook, "Baha ka lang, Pinoy k

Filipino: Wika ng Saliksik

Ang Wikang Filipino ay kilala bilang pambansang wika ng Pilipinas. Halos lahat ng Pilipino ay ginagamit ang wikang ito sa pakikipagkomunikasyon. Ngunit sa paglipas ng panahon ay umuusbong ang iba't ibang mga salita na hindi angkop sa pakikipagtalastasan. Minsan may mga Pilipino na ring gumagamit ng lenggwahe ng ibang bansa dahil mas may alam pa sila dito kesa sa wikang Filipino. Ngunit hindi naman natin maiiwasan ang paggamit ng ibang lenggwahe lalo na kung mga banyaga ang ating kausap. Kung kaya't dapat nating hikayatin ang ating kapwa Pilipino na pahalagahan ang wikang atin dahil sabi nga ni Rizal, "Ang hindi marunong magmahal sa sariling wika ay higit pa sa malansang isda." Sa taong ito, ang tuon ng tema ng Buwan ng Wika ay ang wika ng saliksik. Ang saliksik ay ang  sistematikong pagsusuri o pagsisiyasat ng isang paksa, pangyayari, at iba pa. Mahalaga ang wika ng saliksik dahil ito ang nagiging daan upang makakuha ng mga kaalaman patungkol sa mga bagay ba
