Binatbatan in '21

      

retrieved from: link

    Vigan is known to have grand festivals which tourists and even local people love to witness. One of such festivals is the Binatbatan Festival, which was celebrated yearly from the last week of April till the first week of May. It is a festival that celebrates the art of weaving and its importance to our culture. Various events were held like kalesa parade, traditional games, but the most famous one is the street dancing competition. It sort of serves as the highlight of the whole festival.

    All these years, Binatbatan was always celebrated and it attracts many tourists. However, last year, the raging fire-like pandemic attacked the whole world. Events were canceled, including the festival itself, which makes it very strange to Ilocanos for there’s no Festival celebrated. This year marks the 2nd time that the festival wasn’t celebrated in a normal way. This didn’t stop Ilocano though. They still celebrated the festivals through the use of social media, like filming street dance performances. This only shows that nothing can stop us.

  Dear   Mr. President,           I don’t watch the news often, but every time that I do, I can always see you and information about what you did. I just can’t help but admire you and I wonder if someday, I can also do something for our country like what you’re currently doing.             I honestly don’t have any complaints about you, because all you want is what’s best for our country. When I was young and became slightly aware of how the Philippine government is like, I didn’t know what it feels to have a good president. But a few years later, you came and I became gradually enlightened on what a good president is like. I have watched a video of you, where an American reporter asked you about extrajudicial killing. I was amazed at how you handled that and how you brought the topic of the US killing black people for odd reasons. That video of you made me think you’re the  GOAT , Greatest Of All Time. I just hope that you will take more serious measures to deal with the Corona Virus

Do, Re, Me! Yes, It's Me!

         She is a loud type of person. No! She is quiet when she is with us. She is like this. No, she is like that! People see and know me differently. I act in different ways depending on who I am with. But just like what they say, every person is different, and that makes them unique. This is who I am, and I will be me, for being who you are is like one of the greatest things that you could give to yourself.      I am just a simple girl from the municipality of Caoayan, Ilocos Sur. Born in an average family, with just enough wealth to survive on and also the only child. I think that is the reason why I act like this. I became an ambivert, or so I thought, for I have not really taken the test yet. My conclusion is that I became like this because I was often alone and was often inside our house during my childhood, but whenever the situation allows it, my friends would come to my house and play with me, or I will go to theirs to play with them. With that, let’s just say that the alone

For The Better Us, For The Better Philippines

No one in this world can ever be ready when it comes to disasters, for they come unexpectedly. There's terrorism, natural disasters, and the virus outbreak that the world is currently facing. They lead to huge financial loss and destructive effects on humanity, thus causing the nation to face difficulties in securing everyone's safety. One of the things that we can do for our country to be more resilient is to invest in enhancing its resilience.  Planning before the disaster happens is a must, for it is the most important among the preparation procedures. Our government must be capable of doing this, for a resilient country knows how to plan, respond to the situation well, and must be able to prepare a solution afterward.  However, it doesn't mean that the government is the only one who needs to make a move. It takes every citizen of the country to execute such a plan. Their obedience and full cooperation in the following guidelines are needed for us to be well prepared dur
