The Gem of the North

 As the month of January strikes, the entire Vigan City is getting busy on preparing for the City’s Feast. Every year, the Bigueños celebrate the festival of San Pablo/Saint Paul, their Saint Patron. During the city’s festival week, people from vigan will hold a different kind of events like the carnavals, trade fairs, parades, and street dancing. Also, a lot of tourist visits this town to celebrate the fiesta together with the Bigueños.

During the festival week, I happen to visit and walk around in Calle Crisologo together with my best friend and bought something for the both of us.

We watched the logganisa festival street dancing. This event is coordinated to the conversion of St. Paul the Apostle and also, this is to represent the culture, the foods and the traditions of this beloved city. “Viva Vigan, Viva San Pablo”

I also get the chance to witness the fiesta’s grand parade after 2 years of being unable to witness it. This happens in every 25th of January. This is also where all of the students, teachers, personels, workers from Vigan participate on this event.

That’s the places and events that I went during the Vigan’s Fiesta. After 2 years of not experiencing to attend these events and happenings, finally, It’s now here. It may not be just like before, but atleast we had the chance to be able to witness it again. I also suggest to those people who are not from Vigan to come and visit this City.

My Pandemic Life                  On march 2020, they announced that we will be having a 2 weeks break because of some unknown virus. Myself was filled with happiness and excitement  that time because I can finally rest from academic stress. But then, things suddenly turned upside down. No one expected that the virus will circulate around the world, no one expected that it would become a pandemic. The 2 weeks became 2 years, causing the world to shut down. Schools were closed, classes were suspended, making us continue learning through online and modular.               I wa so mad at the virus and even the whole situation. The events that I was looking forward like the highschool day were cancelled. I didn't get a chance to see or get in touch whith my friends and family for a very long time. That time, I have a lot of pending school works and activities because I was having a hard...
