Treasurer and preserve

 



    Ilocos Sur has a rich heritage and unique culture that is to be preserved for the next generations because it is observed that many of these traditions, songs, dances and other Ilocano culture are not familiar to the younger generation already .   

 

    Kannawidan is an Ilocano term meaning feast of rich heritage and culture. It is also a variant of the Ilocano word “tawid” meaning heritage or inheritance. Kannawidan is a variant of this Ilocano word "tawid" means heritage or inheritance. It began in 1992, Guia Monroy Valenciano, then vice-president of PCI Bank sounding out to friends about establishing a museum. 

 

    There is also a need to evaluate the different products of the different municipalities and the agricultural product and livestock of the farmers and fisher folks. Because of this, the provincial government of Ilocos sur considered a festival that will highlight these cultures and traditions and to attract local and foreign tourists as well. Through this Kannawidan Festival children may appreciate their rich culture and traditions. Also on the opening day of the festival, a traditional ritual is performed by the students of Ilocos Sur, especially high school students. There are different contests that focus on the ability and skill of the students. These include traditional tribal rituals, choir, and glee club competition, marching band contest, traditional music and symbol, dance drama, traditional and folk dances, contemporary dance competition and street dancing showdown . 

     

    One mission of this festival is paying more attention to the children because they are paying more attention to the modern and nobility dances they see on television than the traditional ones. The local government of Ilocos Sur thought of this festival to encourage the younger generations to learn the indigenous songs and dances of the province.

Sacrifices and Efforts

  As a student, I need to be responsible with my studies. My first impression about the modular learning were I can spent less time accomplishing the task needed to answer and it is easier to understand for all the notes were printed on the modules. I thought that it is more convenient to learn under the modular learning but there are many difficulties that I have faced during my modular learning. Based on my experience, modules has been very challenging and intellectually fulfilling as I have learned a whole lot, and acquired a number of skills, just by doing it. I am having a hard time answering the modules specifically on those topics which are not familiar to me or doesn’t have enough knowledge about the topic. Some topics were difficult to understand and there are tasks that are difficult to answer because the examples from the concept notes aren’t enough or far from the given in the task which is needed to be answer and sometimes I need to search it from the internet to...

COVID-19: Empowering Bigueña

Image
  Before, a lot of bigueña were being discriminated because of their gender. They were traditionally thought to be full-time housewives. Their primary responsibility was to look after their children and family. Women's empowerment can be described in very simple terms as empowering women so that they can make their own decisions about their lives and well-being in family and society.     Some of the ill practices against women have been eliminated thanks to the open-minded and good citizens who raised their voices against unjust practices against women. Over the years, it has been established that bigueña’s participation in decision-making improves economic outcomes, encourages higher investment in social protection, and leads to more lasting peace and climate action. They can attain their greatest potential when they live in a safe, joyful, and productive environment. They can contribute their abilities to the workforce while also raising happier and healthier kids. Em...
