Naragsak Kannawidan

 


Ilocos Sur has a rich heritage and unique culture that are to be preserved for the next generations because it is observed that many of these traditions,song,dances and other Ilocano culture are not familiar to the younger generations already.Because of this,the provincial government of Ilocos Sur concerned a festival that will highlight these culture and traditions and attract local and foreign tourists as well. They call it the KANNAWIDAN YLOCOS FESTIVAL,it is also a time to commemorate the anniversary of Ilocos Sur as a province since it was seperated on February 3, 1818.



Kannawidan is a variant of Ilocano word “tawid” meaning heritage or inheritance .Kannawidan also conducts major activities and events for community participation. Became one of the most awaited annual celebrations in the province of Ilocos Sur is doing its ultimate capabilities to give the best,most  especially to the visitors and exhibitors.



Last year,Kannawidan Festival was very fun.Me and My family went there and spend our time enjoying how beautiful Kannawidan is. We played and eat together .But this year,Kannawidan Festival is not the same as last year because of this pandemic that we are facing. Many fun activities, events and more that we’ve missed because of the pandemic.This year, I didn’t go to Kannawidan with my family. I’m still happy because they post a live video about the  Saniata ti Ylocos  .Saniata ti Ylocos Is one of the favourite event of my mother, she do really love watching pageants,thanks to the people that post them social media because we have chance to watched the  Saniata ti Ylocos even though we are experiencing this covid pandemic. Me and my siblings  miss going to the circus,playing and riding fun activities.we do really love playing fun games,even though we lost ever y time but we enjoyed playing.  This year, Kannawidan was open  but  they trully follow about the protocols and everything that needs to follow. Facemask, face shield ans social distancing.Hoping that this pandemic will end soon. STAY SAFE  everyone!!!

    Great blog! I do agree with you that this year's Kannawidan is much different than the previous years because of the pandemic. But hopefully it will eventually be the same. All the best, have a good day!

    Hi Shainaly! A lot has changed since the pandemic came. Mass gatherings were prohibited, so festivals were not able to celebrate the way we celebrated it in the past years. By the way, I enjoyed reading your blog. Hope you're doing fine. God bless!

LITERALLY SHAI

                     My friends and the people who are close to me often call me “Shai”. My name literally represents who I am. Meek, reserved, timid. I’ve been shy for as long as I can remember. I feared having to talk to someone when I was little. I usually hide I side my parents room when we had visitors. I had a hard time making new friends I rarely started conversation until I turned thirteen years old, my entry to Junior High I started to feel comfortable with my classmates and started to laugh and have fun with them. Slowly I am discovering the other side of me that I can also overcome my shyness by means of having a Good friends around me. I started to realize the excitement of making new things happen. My eyes were opened to the benefits of my new attitude and I am slowly gaining my self confidence.

My Hat Tip

Dear Mr, President              I don’t have much idea on who you are but as I watched you speak on television I've come to realized you eagerness, your passion and your love to the people and to our country. I can see in your eyes that you're tired of all the chaos we are going through right now for we are divided, those who love you so much and those who hate you so much but Mr. President please continue the good things you are doing for the sake of the Filipino people. Do the things you know it can ruin us, just to protect your people. I know that a lot of my Co-Filipino hate you so much and I can’t persuade them to look for the greater things you have done to this country but I am one of the few people who believes in you and I hope that this will be enough reason for you to keep going. We support you and we always have your back.                                  ...
