Preserve The Culture: VIVA VIGAN!

 


Vigan City is known as a Heritage City and one of the oldest town in the Philippines. The Vigan City Fiesta is held every January 25. It is an every year event that is prepared by the local government with the help of the local industries and communities. The fiesta usually lasts for several days. Of course when we talk about festival, the cultural shows, parade, street dancing, food products, arts, and craft exhibit are the first things that come into our minds that made us all excited.

              


Participants from the different neighboring provinces in the northern region are also sent to compete in the various games and activities, particularly the street dancing competition. Longganisa Festival is included in the festive program. During the festival, every tourist has a chance to try authentic longganisa from Vigan. They celebrate the festival with street dancing and other activities that have Vigan longganisa theme which are attended by thousands of local and foreign visitors.

               Due to the increasing rate of the COVID 19 virus, they tend to carry out the fiesta in a different way. The pandemic has affected as a huge effect because everything has changed. Importantly we need to follow the health protocols. Gatherings are not allowed so they couldn’t risk our lives and health for celebrating the festival we used to, but even in this situation, the fiesta was still celebrated.

               Doing the protocol and staying safe is the number one priority of all for we want our life to be back to normal again.

    It is undeniable that COVID-19 has affected the celebration of the Vigan City Festival. I like that you added the events and programs usual during the celebration and how they changed because of the pandemic. Let's hope that it will end and celebrations will again be ordinary. Keep safe and have a great day!

    Everyone gets excited when we say fiesta. But at this situation who would be excited? Because of what we are experiencing right now the fiesta was held differently. Let's just pray and hope that this will come to an end. Great job! Stay safe and God bless!

    It is true that gatherings have been affected during this Covid-19 pandemic. Huge amount of people is strictly restricted. We should not risk our health for our happiness. We should celebrate in safest way and hope that all of this will go back to normal.

Women Rise Up (Thematic Output)

    In society, women tended to be known as weaker than men. Men are labeled as the stronger ones, they be looking up to for they were known for being hardworking, which is assigned on doing the harder works, and believed that women can’t. Women then were so limited in their actions, they depend on men, they are conservative, so-called Maria Clara. In this vision of society, discrimination against women is created. We are all influenced by gender, gender norms tell us what is appropriate for boys and girls, women and men to do in society.

As time goes by, the stereotype of women was slowly breaking. Living in 20th century, where women as a leader, women as the ones who are wor...
