Vigan Fiesta Celebration amidst Covid-19 pandemic.

 


It's been 11 months when Covid-19 pandemic struck not only the Philippines but all around the world. Many lives lost including jobs, tourism and economy. As day goes by number of Covid-19 patients increases were put into lockdown. Tourism is one biggest factor why Ilocos Sur is progressive. We owned not just beautiful landmarks but also the most beautiful beaches and the most hospitable Ilokanos that's why lot of tourist kept on coming back to the province. When Covid-19 struck the country the tourism rate decrease and some establishments also declare bankruptcy due to Covid-19 crisis.



Now, the government of Ilocos Sur is doing their very best to revive the Province economy that's why Vigan Fiesta celebration push through amidst of Covid-19 pandemic. It's aim is to encourage local tourist who are nearby the city of Vigan to visit. The Vigan City Fiesta aims to revive Ilocos Sur's economy by means of local tourist who kept on patronising our products. It is also a way to introduce Ilocos products not only to them but also to the entire Philippines.



It is not that easy to launch a fiesta in the midst of this pandemic, but the government of Ilocos Sur push through with the celebration following the preventive protocols given by the National Government. They remind all the people who will visit to wear face mask and face shield and observe social distancing. One of my personal favourite during Kannawidan festival is the "Saniata ti Ylocos" but I was so happy that Saniata still push through but through libe in social media. 



Amidst this pandemic we can see how the governor of Ilocos wanted the best for us not just for the economy but for the enjoyment of every Ilocosurians. We can see his effort and we should reciprocate it by means of supporting him. Let's go hand in hand in the midst of this pandemic.

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.                                  ...
