Image result for significance of kannawidan
       Kannawidan Festival  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. It is the Ilocanos' way of giving thanks to the Almighty not only for the bountiful blessings but also for the rich heritage of the city, including the close family ties among the Ilocanos. This event showcases the deep-rooted religiosity of the townsfolk.

It is very significant to every resident in the province as we are celebrating the foundation of Ilocos Sur as a province by virtue of the Royal Decree signed on February 2, 1818.  This colorful week-long event was meant to be a living museum to showcase the customs and traditions of Ilocos Sur that people do not normally see or experience.

            Kannawidan has really lived up to its mission and vision: preserving and perpetuating the rich Iloco cultural, artistic, historical and intellectual heritage. Kannawidan gatherings have always been a venue for Ilocanos, relations and friends, sharing and exchanging thoughts, views and insights on how to preserve and perpetuate the beautiful customs and traditions.

First Challenge? It's Ended!

     Life is not easy, we always encountered a lot of problems that are there to give us lessons. Learning is always the best solution in the problems. It helps in showing us how these problems in providing us experiences that we can use.      First quarter in our subject I.C.T., I have learned about how is the internet started and what are the things are in the internet. The history of internet really helps me in learning how is the internet where used. Next is about blogging. Blogging was not my thing at first but it motivates to to do this thing because it can improve and expand your knowledge in writing and criticizing about some topics. This is the best thing that I experienced.      I also had problems on this subject like how can I make or write essays about this subject?, how can I share my thoughts online? and many more. These are my problems because I'm not into social media and I am shy in sharing my thoughts online. And...

Are these words important to us? Those are the some questions that could give some problem to us but it is very important to us.  Long long time ago, the Spaniards came here to the Philippines to colonized us. The Spaniards stayed here for 333 years and in that years they made the Filipinos suffer from hell. In that years, we don't have the freedom but they are thankful to the heroes that they help them to give that freedom. After that years, the Philippines had the freedom in the 1898 of June 12.  Celebrating the Independence Day shows that how we are honored in having that holiday, and it shows how we are thankful on having that freedom. Independence  Day shows how we are happy in having that freedom because we can everything and how we lived today. We should not only celebrat...

Hustong Pag-aalaga

      " T here can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way in which it treats its children ."- Nelson Mandela     Ang mga bata ay napakahalaga sa lipunan. Inaalagaan at iniingatan na parang mamahaling bagay kung kaya't tutok na tutok sila. Ang mga magulang ang siyang nagbibigay ng hustong alaga  na kailangan ng mga bata. Sila ay biyaya ng Diyos sa pamilya kaya sila ang nagsilsilbing gabay sa mga bata. Walang bata na dapat masaksaktan ng todo- todo kundi pagmamahal ng todo-todo.    Pag-aalaga sa mga bata ay napakahalaga dahil dito nakasalalay ang magandang kinabukasan. Tamang pag-aalaga ang kanilang gusto sa lahat ng oras. Hindi lahat ng bata ay nakakaranas ng tamang pag- aaruga, ang iba ay minomolestiya, binubugbug at sinaksaktan na parang hayop. May mga magulang na hindi alam ang mga karapatan ng isang tao kaya pati bata sinasama sa paggawa ng mali. Kahit na wala namang perpektong pag- aalaga sa mga bata, hindi ib...
