Tradition in Transition

    




    Immersed in the rich cultural heritage of Vigan, the Fiesta celebration, specifically the Conversion of St. Paul, holds a special place in my heart as a student. This yearly event showcases the resilience of tradition, even amidst the challenges posed by the new normal. Vigan, known for its cobblestone streets and colonial-era architecture, becomes a canvas where centuries-old customs fuse with contemporary realities.





    In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Fiesta celebration takes on a unique character. The usual crowded processions and lively gatherings are replaced by more intimate and socially distanced festivities. Despite the limitations, the spirit of unity remains unwavering as families come together to share in the joyous occasion. Traditional music echoes through the streets, creating an atmosphere that resonates with the echoes of the past, seamlessly blending with the present.


 


    A highlight of the celebration is the Longganisa Festival, a culinary delight showcasing the local flavors of Vigan. As students turned bloggers, our journey through this gastronomic experience becomes a storytelling adventure. From the enticing aroma of longganisa wafting through the air to the vibrant colors adorning festival stalls, each moment becomes a snapshot of the city's culinary identity. We capture the essence of tradition in every bite, all while adhering to health protocols.



    

    

    In this new normal, our role as student bloggers becomes a bridge between the past and the present, documenting the resilience of our community in the face of adversity. We highlight the ingenuity of local businesses adapting to the times, offering a glimpse into the entrepreneurial spirit that keeps the heritage city alive. Through our words and images, we aim to inspire others to embrace tradition while navigating the evolving landscape of the modern world.




    In conclusion, the Fiesta celebration in the Heritage City of Vigan, especially during the Conversion of St. Paul, takes on a renewed significance in the new normal. As student bloggers, we become the storytellers, weaving a narrative that captures the essence of our cultural heritage while embracing the challenges of the present. The Longganisa Festival becomes a symbol of resilience, uniting us in celebration and reminding us that traditions endure, even in times of uncertainty.

Blueprints of Change

    The start of our Community-Based Research (CBR) project was both thrilling and challenging. First, we formed a group and had meetings. We discussed our ideas and distributed the tasks among ourselves. Despite the overpowering feeling, we banded together and arranged ourselves for the work ahead.              Next, we conducted interviews with various vendors in Vigan. It was difficult because they were not always available. But we refused to give up. We kept trying until we got the information we needed. This showed me the value of not giving up, no matter how difficult things were.                 Following data collection, we each worked on our own parts of the project. We assisted each other out while remaining focused on our mission. Then, we decided to convert our research into a web design. T hen we decided to make our study into a website. It was a little challenging, but we worked toget...

Let's Make a Difference Together!

        In September, people all across the United States come together for National Clean-Up Month. It's like a special time that tells us to take action, do something good, and take care of our world. During this month, we get to work together and make our places look beautiful by picking up trash.         National Clean-Up Month is a chance for everyone to do more than just clean up by themselves. You can help by cleaning up local parks, beaches, streets, or by joining clean-up events in our barangays. There are many easy ways to get involved.         When you join these clean-up efforts, it's not only about making our communities look nicer, but it's also about helping the environment. When we throw away trash and recycle the right way, it can make our air and water cleaner. It also protects animals and saves natural places. And when the environment is clean, it makes people feel happy and proud.        ...
