Vigan City Town Fiesta Celebration


       The Vigan City Fiesta is held in honour of St. Paul the Apostle, the city’s patron saint, on 25 January each year. Locals and tourists gather to experience and see the street dancing, carnivals, food fairs, and arts and crafts, adding to the attraction of this UNESCO World Heritage City. Vigan’s main church, the Metropolitan Cathedral is dedicated to St. Paul and it stands at the core of the Archdiocese of Nueva Segovia. The major Catholic educational institution in Vigan that stands beside the church is also dedicated to the patron, the St. Paul College of Ilocos Sur. The Vigan City Fiesta usually lasts for several days. It includes within the period the celebration of the anniversary of the cityhood of Vigan, which is commemorated every January 27.

      Biguenos from all over the country and even abroad return to Vigan, as it is the custom of Filipinos to return to their hometown to join their family and friends in the celebration of their fiesta. They are joined by thousands of visitors from other parts of the Philippines and other countries in enjoying the cultural shows, parades and street dancing prepared by the local government with the help of the local industries and communities. There are also food fairs, arts and crafts exhibits, as well as a visiting carnival.

      Vigan longganisa, also known as the Ilocano longganisa, is a Filipino pork sausage originating from Vigan City, Ilocos Sur. It is a type of de recado longganisa. It is made with ground lean pork, ground pork fat, brown sugar, garlic, onions, bay leaves, soy sauce, vinegar, black pepper, and salt to taste in hog casings. Chili flakes may also be added. The sausages are celebrated in an annual "Longganisa Festival" in Vigan City.

Draft#3       Our National Hero Jose Rizal famously stated The youth is our hope for the future because he believes that if the present generation committed some mistakes, the next generation might as well undo it. This is also one of the reasons why we celebrate Children's Month     The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UN CRC) adopted on 20 November 1989 is the first legally binding universal treaty solely dedicated to the promotion and protection of children’s rights. It sets out the rights that must be realized for every child – the rights to survival, development, protection, and participation. It offers a vision of the child as an individual and as a member of a family and community, with rights and responsibilities appropriate to his or her age and stage of development.

My Reflection                      “A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity, an optimist                                                        sees the opportunity in every difficulty.” This Second Quarter a new set of information was given to us by our beloved teacher Mrs. Evelyn Vera Cruz. I again manage to to scrape through this with a little help from my friends. I also encountered many problems this quarter most of all, difficulty in paying attention during discussion. My agile brainwork functioned again with the use of html tags. This show how websites work. Moreover, I must keep my cool and control to this thing right. Not only for education but for my Family's expectations, and for the love of God, who made all things in Earth https://www.google.c...

Draft#5 According to Wikipedia sports or intramurals are recreational sports organized within a particular institution, usually an educational institution, or a set geographic area.[citation needed] The term, which is chiefly North American,[2] derives from the Latin words intra muros meaning "within walls", and was used to describe sports matches and contests that took place among teams from "within the walls" of an institution or area. The term dates to the 1840s. It is contrasted with extramural, varsity or intercollegiate sports, which are played between teams from different educational institutions. For example, Michael Phelps is good at swimming, Manny Paquiao is good at boxing and Bob Beamon is good at Long jump. All of us, literally, have certain ways to some sports. Some we master while some we flunk. It is here during Intramurals that we show our talents. https://www.google.com/search?biw=1242&bih=553&tbm=isch&sxsrf=ACYBGNQMxX1im...
