Here we collide, even if we've divided

 Imagine one entire festival that is celebrated by all citizens in a province, a festival that brings all of their cultures and traditions to become one for this very moment. Here in Ilocos such festivities are held. Kannawidan Festival or is now known as Ilocos Sur Festival is an annual occasion that is celebrated by all citizens across Ilocos. It is held every year starting from the date February 28 until February 14. What a day to celebrate valentine's day, am I right?




Each year, the same date and in the same place festival is opened. But other than the festival opening it also people from different municipalities all across Ilocos to reconnect to their roots. It also serves as a way for people to let modernization and 'ancient' tradition to collide in order to create a much more engaging, fun, and educational festival for all ages and culture to celebrate and experience.


In between these dates the old broken bond from different people is pieced back together through this festival. It offers people a variety of festivals to enjoy whilst also learning about their culture and tradition. Other than being enjoyable, what makes this festival even more magical is the fact that it connects people who have different beliefs, cultures, and traditions. It gives us the freedom to explore and learn our roots in order for us to not forget them, whilst also letting us connect to those who we've never known before. 



One of the many beauties that this festival offers to people, the chance to take a glimpse of the past whilst staying in the future and also connecting to everyone who's also there to meet other people like them while uncovering the history of the past.

Not only a woman, I'm more than that

"You are only a woman. You have NO rights!", Only a woman?ONLY? This is the sad reality that most women still experience nowadays. Hurtful words that pierce through their hearts like it's made out of paper, disregarding any rights or proof of all of their efforts because they're 'only' a "powerless" gender seen to almost all. They're often taken advantage of because of everyone's thoughts that women are powerless and will never have enough courage to speak the truth; that's how some completely hideous people see women. They see them as toys and dolls that are made 'exclusively' for men and the society to play with. Do we really want to keep living in this harsh reality where women are seen as tools for pleasure? Thankfully there have been many laws implemented protecting the rights of women and protecting them against violence. Such as RA 8353 or The Anti-Rape Law of 1997 and RA 11313 or Safe Spaces Act. RA 8353 (The Ant...

Greenery for everybody

  Greenery keeps the world pretty. As we approach the month of the environment, many activities and programs are to follow it. That's why as a student I wanted to do my part and contribute to the preservation of our green environment. Some things may seem small and simple at first but when we collect all of these tiny pieces and glue them together it can turn into something big. Exactly like turning off the lights when they're not in use, it does not only limit the use of electricity but also lessens the contribution of people to light pollution. Walking instead of riding motorcycles when the places you want to go to is close. Is a simple yet helpful thing for our environment, it does not only benefit you but also the people that surrounds you. Because it  helps you burn fat and also lessen the amount of air pollution released into the earth. Another way I helped in keeping our environment clean is by simply throwing trash in the right place. Because any trash that's just t...
