Vigan City Fiesta Celebration in the New Normal




Part and parcel of the Filipino culture are the festivals being celebrated in every town. One of the most popular ones is the Vigan Town Fiesta observed during January 25, in honor of St. Paul the Apostle.

 

The Covid-19 pandemic has greatly changed the Province’s (Vigan City) festival celebration.  We used to have huge crowds and many people from around the province come to attend the said festival and enjoy seeing and watching the different activities scheduled and enjoy bonding together over food and drinks-but this was before the pandemic. 

 

Now, with the spread and health threat imposed by the covid-19, this usual practice has changed and we have to adopt to the new normal. The Governor decided to conduct the Vigan Fiesta Celebration despite the pandemic to promote its cultural heritage.  Many activities were done, including the Ms. Saniata and the showcase of each town’s product from around the province.  Despite the challenges and health threat of the pandemic, the activity was a successful one.  Health protocols were strictly implemented and the people of Ilocos Sur has a very good response for they cooperated well with those health protocols. Peace and order was also maintained. 

 

Also with the use of internet, some activities were also televised, making the Vigan ity Fiesta celebration, not only local but international, because even those Ilocanos from other countries can watch and participate with the celebration.  So, even with this pandemic, the Provincial Government did not stop from aiming its goal which is to promote the cultural heritage of Vigan City.

Hey, It's Me

      No one knows me better the "true me" than my self. But who really am I? I am just a simple guy who used to be God-fearing. I was still in grade IV when I already aspired to serve as one of the Knights of the Altar. I find happiness in serving the lord. I am also a son who loves to tease my love ones as a means of showing my love for them. I also find happiness in simple things like biking around. My greatest aim is to finish my studies to make my parents proud of me. And hoping that someday I will have a good and stable job and live a happy fami ly.

a.       What are the learning/discoveries that I have gained? The learning/insights I gained during the second quarter is how to create HTML.   I find it very helpful, especially for me as a student because I was able to gain knowledge to build and understand the fundamentals of the web.   I was able to design my own website.   b.       What are the problems/challenges that I have encountered? At first, I find it very difficult to understand HTML, but when I tried to follow the steps, I find it quite easy.    During the making, I have encountered problems like slow internet connectivity, so I have to wait for the signal in order to proceed.   And the worst problem I encountered is that my laptop malfunctioned and it has to be reformat, so I need again to repeat the things I have finished. c.        How did I address these challenges?
