Create To Preserve

To promote awareness of the value of the historic town of Vigan ,Binatbatan Festival or The Viva Vigan Festival of Arts is celebrated during the first week of the month of May.It is the fruit of the reunion of residents staying in Metro Manila who formed a group called KaiVigan in 1993. The festcal began when an epidemic killed 934 residents that started on November 12 and ended December 15 ,30 years after a chapel was built in 1852 in the cemetery of Vigan. For the past sixteen years, the festival of arts has been successful in drumming up attention for Vigan’s ancestral houses mostly located on the heritage site of the town. With the help of national and local agencies, as well as media, arts and non-governmental supporters, the festival has also succeeded in promoting other aspects of Vigan. It benefited the whole tourism industry of the northern region, bringing in tens of thousands of local and foreign tourists curious to explore and have a “northern experience.” 

 

Viva Vigan’s week-long festivities have both religious and secular importance.It was made to strengthen resolve to preserve and protect this heritage site and also to commemorate St. Joseph, patron saint of workers.It was also to celebrate one of the industries that kept residents alive – abel Iloco hand-loom weaving.It is the product that is mostly emphasized in this celebration. Due to the pandemic and the alarming cases of COVID - 19, activities were conducted differently this time - different means virtually. Families are the contestants of street dancing competition, and there is also hiphop competition. There is also a mass at Simbaan na Bassit. Parts of Calle Crisologo were designed beautifully with the main product, abel iloko which made the place more lively and historic.

 In order to preserve our culture and history , everyone must do something. It must be kept alive. Cultural heritage is central to protecting our sense of who we are. It gives us an irrefutable connection to the past – to certain social values, beliefs, customs and traditions, that allows us to identify ourselves with others and deepen our sense of unity, belonging and national pride.

    12 th of June , year 1898 . In this significant date , our country , Philippines was able to free from the colonization of Spanish rule. It is indeed a date to celebrate and commemorate as after more than 300 years of being confined on our very own homeland , our flag was waved for the very first time by President Emilio Aguinaldo on Kawit , Cavite with the blue color on top of it which symbolizes peace and freedom of Filipinos. The day the Philippines gained independence is the pinnacle of patriotism, and June 12 holds that symbolic sense of a truly independent Filipino nation.    T he Philippines failed to win international recognition of its independence, specifically including the United States of America and Spain.

     Its been a year since the COVID 19 pandemic started and millions of cases up until now were continuously reported . after a few months of this pandemic, severl vaccines were presented from different countries . The Philippines is the last Southeast Asian nation to receive a COVID-19 vaccine supply. But its better having one than having nothing. On this year, month of February , the first batch of vaccine arrived in our country. Some people are afraid on takingthe vaccines as there are side effect that can trigger their health and also the fear that the Dengvaxia incident that happened before might also happen again . No vaccine provides 100% protection from COVID-19. It typically takes a few weeks for the body to build immunity after vaccination. That means it is possible a person could be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 just before or just after vaccination and still get sick because the vaccine has not had enough time to provide protection.In addi...
