Vigan City celebrates Solidarity

     For the whole month of September, we are celebrating World Heritage Cities Solidarity Cultural Festival. Since Vigan is the only heritage city here in the Philippines., Vigan celebrate this with other cities all over the world that have world heritage cities.

     Solidarity is an important value for any society, as well as for the entire global community. It is characterized by mutual collaboration between individuals which makes it possible to overcome the most terrible disasters, such as wars, diseases, etc. This also helps one city or place to have a better or improve their own cultures. This festival also aims to strengthen the pride in the history and culture of Vigan City. Some of the activities that is participated by many people are Zarzuela Ilocana (Ilocano stage play), singing contests, photography, dallot (Ilocano oral tradition of debate through singing), sabayang pagbigkas or speech choir, and daniw or poetry. There is also what they call Trade fair where they sell different kind of foods, furnitures, plants, and many more. Also, there is a parade that is participated by 39 baranggays of Vigan City. Another way to look back in the history of Vigan is to join the scheduled Visita Museo ken Balbalay, when narrators read accounts of the life of the owners of the mansions and museum that are toured.

     Solidarity was a value that was important to international relations in the 21st century. It is reaslly important because people feel like they are all connected. Solidarity works best when we respect each other's culture, traditions, and differences.

My Dream, My Future

Image
        Every person in this world does have a dream or an ambition which one wants to fulfill during his / her life. This very dream encourages you to do better and better and move towards your goal. Not everything you think of can be your dream. Some things are just a part of the fascination you grow up with during your childhood.        However, your dream plays an important role in your life. My dreams are what keep me going; they are an object for me to strive for. I will obtain that object one day. Every day I like to take some time aside from my responsibilities to think about my dreams and all the goals I want to achieve. Only having a dream won’t help, I also need to work towards the achievement of my dream.     Thinking only about the career and success with the little amount of fear might not offer you complete happiness later. It is good to become serious about your career, but you should also try to overcome any fe...

I DID!

        Everything lasts. But there is a beauty in every ending. You can gain, you can learn. Lessons you learned are ready to be practiced. Another journey has ended and it's the start of a new journey with harder and tougher challenges. We just got into our destination. Grade 10, it was a nice ride.       I am so grateful to learn new things about Photoshop. In our section, we are truly enjoying, we are having fun gaining new knowledge in our subject ICT 10. But, we can't deny the fact that we are struggling sometimes in editing pictures. Challenges goes harder and harder when you go farther. During fourth grading period, I got some challenges. First is self-doubt and how can I managed it. So, to lighten my mind and soul, I motivated myself by the saying "If others can, I can do it also". I made it! I just have to gain confidence in order to proceed. Another challenge is that I easily lost my focus especially when my phone is just p...

Vigan City Fiesta Celebration

          The Vigan City Fiesta is held in honor of St. Paul the Apostle, the city’s patron saint, on 25 January each year. Locals and tourists gather to experience and see the street dancing, carnivals, food fairs, and arts and crafts, adding to the attraction of this UNESCO World Heritage City.           Participants from the different neighboring provinces in the northern region are also sent to compete in the various games and activities, particularly the street dancing competition. Within the Vigan City Fiesta days, the Longganisa Festival is also celebrated. The city has a longganisa-themed parade and at one time attempted to set a record for having the longest longganisa ever made. Biguenos attribute this to the fact that the making of Vigan longganisa is a centuries-old tradition of the local makers and all if not most of the ingredients used in making the native sausage is sourced from Vigan. Vigan’s garlic and sugarcane v...
