Kannawidan Festival


A festival in the Province of Ilocos Sur commemorating the separation of the two Ilocos provinces in 1818. This festival is a showcase of indigenous performances, religious rituals, as well cooking demos featuring the best of Ilocano dishes.

As the Philippines starts to recover from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, fiestas and celebrations are starting to return, giving Filipinos a well-needed dose of levity. In Ilocos Sur, the provincial government officially launched Kannawidan 2022 early this month (February), with a bevy of activities aimed at celebrating life and spreading joy. Opening the celebrations were the provincial government of Ilocos Sur, headed by Governor Ryan Luis Singson along with Vice Governor Jeremias Singson, Sangguniang Panlalawigan Members, and officials and employees of local government units and national government agencies.

The first night saw a dancing fountain show, a drone light show followed by a fireworks display that brightly blazed at the top of the New Legislative Building. The drone light show highlighted the strong spirit of Ilocosurians not to give up amidst pandemic. It also served as tribute to all frontliners. Following this was a comedy night held at the Quirino Stadium. The second day of Kannawidan featured the coronation of the Saniata Ti Ylocos beauty pageant with Vigan representative Richelle Anne Presto standing out and taking home the crown. The third day wrapped up with the LGBTQ Night. It had "Your Face Sounds Familiar, The Lip Sync Battle" to cap the event. John Angelo Malamion who impersonated Nicki Minaj was declared the grand champion. The Kannawidan Festival also had other events aside from competitions — a dog show featuring American bullies; a car and motor show; Tinattoan; bike race; game fowl, rhythm fest; and the much-awaited Bakbakan sa Ilocos Sur.

To stop the virus from spreading, almost all countries had to shut down their economies, and the Philippines is one of those countries that has taken severe steps by implementing Enhanced Community Quarantine last March 15, 2020. The quarantine helped to contain the virus’s spread, and the Philippines appear to be on its way to flattening the curve. Despite having one of the world’s longest and strictest lockdowns, the Philippines has the second- highest number of COVID-19 infections in Southeast- Asia.

Who I am

  In this world, many people surround us. Despite the fact that we all appear to be alike, we are all unique in our own ways. Every person on this earth has a unique quality that are shared with others. Getting to know others allows you to expand your horizon, generate new ideas, and spread them. I’m currently studying in ISNHS I choose to study there because it gives quality education, enhance abilities and develop new skills and talents. I am a person who makes mistake, laughs, cries, hurt, smiles, and loves. I am who I am through my joys, sorrows, heartbreaks, happiness and loses. Each step in my life and each moment that goes by make me up as an individual person. My life is full of both good and painful memories. My attitude in my family is not like my attitude in my friends, if I am with my family sometimes I’m behave and I don’t talk too much, and if I am with my friends I’m very talkative.
