       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.

It is Not Just a Job, It's a Way of Life

     The month of July is the month where we celebrate the "Nutrition Month". The theme of this celebration is "Ugaliing Magtanim, Sapat na Nutrisyon Aanihin", it focuses on how it is important to plant. Nutrition Month shows how the fruit and vegetables are important to our body and how to achieve a healthy lifestyle. This is to promote the worth of our beloved farmers who sacrifice their day to plant the foods. But we, people do not see their worth in everday life.

Hustong Pag-aalaga

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...
