But we cannot showcase this without the help of festivals to exhibit and promote more of renowned products and cultures.Although we all know that festivals do play a pivotal role in promoting one's own beliefs. One of these is the Kannawidan Ylocos Festival-most appreciated festival of all!.
The course of events of this festival is the commemoration of the foundation day of the province.
A Festival which lasts from the last week of January up to the first week of February.And Yes it is an annual celebration that aims to create awareness and preservation of our cultural heritage.A week-long festive of happiness and it is a great trend to old ones and fresh youths like us. Making us to feel the goodness of satisfaction without doubt.

"Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.”
- Leo Tolstoy
We all talk about the word "change" on how we needed it,on how we embrace it and theorized,knowing change is so good for us all.But Depends on how people see it for themselves whether it is bad nor good.
I have been realizing bit lately that millions of humanity are eager to change the world but no one thinks of changing himself first just like Leo Tolstoy stated.
Yes the world is already changing rapidly.It's not the same as we knew it before.Making me feel sad thinking how the world ends right before us.Deforestation,Oil spill and dynamite fishing these are some of the painful words I want to stop.But before that,We humans must face self-change.Yes,I don't think it's possible to change the world.There is a difference between changing the world, and making a difference in the world,which is important to recognize because I believe we can do it. This sound heroic but it is very important because there is nothing more constant in this world except "change".
But I guess change happens whether we like it or not.Starting from simple matter into complex one.Change for the better! for the sake of our beloved planet.
It's New year again and I cant stop thinking about my New years resolution. Because every single time if New year comes,I failed to achieve my goals and it so very disappointing and sad.Example like- knowing the true value of humility, Time management, Boosting morals and especially self-confidence.
You can call me a failure,anything, everything you wanted to say. But I promise to myself I wont stop until I succeed them all. I promise that this damn 2019 differs from the past years.Because everyone say that if New Year approaches, there will be a better opportunity to brace. And I guess that is true and I cant afford it to go to waste.
Yes,Often people make new years resolution, which are goals they would like to achieve or changes they would like to make to their lives in the New year. And Me?, So far so Good. I think 2019 is way better than before. Less pain,less regrets, and slowly reminiscing the broken promises I made.There may be painful times but not too much.Happy times but not so great.
Specific Goal in this Year? Good,Better,Best I wont stop until my good is better and my better is best.
Across the world there has been an imbalance between the roles of men and women in society. If we look back in the early civilization, women in particular had a difficult time being treated with the same admiration and entitlement as men. Only mean had the power to rule within a government and society, while women have been seen only as housewives. And this can be seen through many literary works of great authors such as history books.
But in our society today, the abuse against gender roles and gender equality became less an issue through the dedication of mistreated people to fight for their own rights as a fellow human beings. And because of it, there was a great impact affecting our modernized. Peace achieved and conflicts was avoided.But I guess, I can't really say that the rights if each human being is already equal nor uniform. Discrimination may still occur despite awful personalities still arise. And the impact of it can be severe. Opportunities may be wasted because of it.
To sum up, we can say that gender roles is a recurring issue but we can avoid this once again if we take an action immediately.
"While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them" - Luke 2: 6-7
The most awaited season came once again to open our hearts. It is a season in whom we people celebrate the birth of Christ the king- saviour of mankind. The question that keeps popping out in my head really drives me that what does Christmas really mean to me? Although many people have almost forgotten what Christmas really means, yes there are still plenty of young people like me knows what Christmas really is.
Lets just say that Christmas is not just about marry-making nor rejoicing. It is more than that. For me, It is the time to reflect on what's truly important about life. Showing gratitude and compassion in reconnecting with our friends, family, and old acquaintances.
But sadly to say that children nowadays are not contended. Now children wants to have the latest video games, game gadgets, cellphones and high-tech toys. Compared in the past, children were contended when given some cash, fruits, candies, a new pair of shoes or new clothes.
But we cannot question them, we have a different take on what Christmas really is. If that's how they value Christmas then.
To sum up, Christmas is how you value humility. Jesus Christ chooses to be born in a manger, do he has the power to be born in a palace because he is the king of kings to realize to be humble always regardless of our position and our status in life.
Marriage is something that is needed in order to start a family, but you cant achieved that unless you are ready to take full responsibility for having kids as parents. The nine-month pregnancy of a mother is no joke. Struggles like physical,mental, and financial trials are experienced. And it requires mutual patience and the presence of persistence.
As parents, a mother as well as father should be responsible enough for the proper care of their child in good or even in worst moments. Because a child is easily influenced by the act on how they were treated by their parents resulting social insecurities.If a child is disciplined,he or she will be inspired and become a noble person, a model, and a good example to others. That can only be mean that the role of responsible parenting plays an important role- resulting a huge impact as a human being.
Nowadays, many young people become victims of various forms of violence in our society. According to data from the year 2016 National Baseline Study on Violence against Children created by the Council for the Welfare of Children, the United Nations Children's Fund and with other government agencies and civil society organizations, three of the five Filipino youths are experiencing violence an over half of them experience in their own homes. So we cant deny the fact that not all children are in good conditions.
But in this very moment, the National Children's Month once again to take an action with the theme "ISULONG: tamang pag-aaruga para sa lahat ng bata" reminding us that we should take care the world's precious resource- Our children, the future of each nation.
Technology has opened up a whole new world to express and create. There is no escaping the fact that technology(gadgets) has impacted almost every aspect of family life and the way in which families communicate. From texting facebook to skype, it is possible to be in touch with anyone at anytime despite hectic schedules that involve, work, errands, and extra-curricular activity.
According to research, a poll which is conducted in 2012 by AARP and microsoft showed that 83 percent of families considered technology "helpful" in increasing the quality and frequency of communication among its members. For more above reasons, Technology is not just helping families build relationship-its helping to maintain them as well. That's the feeling of living in a modernized world, living our modern life with technologies.
Parents and kids can now easily check in with each other throughout the day. And for that Parents can also have a peace of mind knowing where their kids are at all times, and they can reach them quickly in the even of an emergency. So we can't thank enough getting use of the existence of these gadgets. Furthermore we cant imagine life without it.
Unlike any other destination that are made by their landmarks and tourist spots amazing. Ilocos Sur is in itself the word "attraction".Our very own province that is full of remarkable cultures and traditions that we Bigueños are very proud of.And it's known to be culturally enriched place with endearing and worth knowing historical significance and astonishing Places just like the calle crisologo,Bantay Bell Tower and Etc.
