A Culture We Embrace Deeply

 

It isn't rare for Filipinos to have various events and festivals all over the place, but the contents of these different festivals will always be unique in their own way, as every single one of them highlights something special about that place. Kannawidan, also known as Ilocos Sur Festival nowadays is a festival celebrated in the Ilocos Sur. It does not only consist of one place or municipality, but Ilocos Sur as a whole. This is the festival where every place that are included in Ilocos Sur gets so share their culture and pride, on what makes them unique and special.

Day of Hearts, Day for Forgiveness

 

Was It Worth It?

        Valentines is a special day celebrated by not only lovers, but also loved ones like family members and friends. For me, it is when we show our love to our peers, not only romantically, but also platonically; Even if we think that we don't feel any love from the people we know, love doesn't always have to come from other people, but God himself is the whole definition of love and forgiveness.

A Fun Experience Despite The Tough Journey

As we began our Community Based Research, it's safe to say that I had fun, especially when I experienced it with good friends of mine. My overall experience of constructing this research was epic, and there are several photos I count as the highlight of my journey.

Behind Every Warrior, Is A Child

I can say that I've learned various things in this quarter, and one of these included HTML lists, which are the ordered, unordered list, nested OL, nested UL, and nested OL UL tags. Moreover, we also tackled about the HTML frames. As our journey continued, before the year of 2024 ended, we had a glimpse of our next lesson; about CBR, or also known as Community Based Research. We had a fun experience in going to our assigned place, and also experienced to make our very own WebPage layout using the research paper that we constructed. 

Even after all the fun we've encountered, there were also parts where we experienced difficulties. For example, when we had to make our CBR, we needed to have a spare time to insert it in our schedules, and had to figure out what must be placed in the paper. Next one was when we had to do our WebPage. We had difficulties in using CSS and finding appealing formats, especially on constructing the buttons of every Web Design. 

I'm lucky to have numerous friends who helped

me in addressing the problems that I encountered. After all of this, I still look forward to our future ICT lessons and ought to do my best in performing all sorts of activities given by our ICT teacher, and ICT practice teacher. By learning new and such interesting things, I can say that I can apply these learnings when I reach a higher level.

Unity Among Nations

The vibrant Filipino culture is a mixture of different cultures from other nations or countries. It is because of it's contributions and influence in forming our country, or what we call "The Philippine Islands" to this day. While originating in Chinese traditions, the festival has been passed, and it's ethnic origins to become a significant addition, and is a widely celebrated event a cross the Philippine archipelago. 

For many Filipinos, regardless of their ethnic heritage, the Lunar New Year evokes a sense of shared community and familial warmth. The exchange of ampao, symbolic red envelopes containing monetary gifts and well wishes, represents more than a simple transaction; it is a powerful expression of connection, a tangible symbol of the enduring bonds that unite families and neighbors. The celebratory feasts, a delightful fusion of culinary traditions, further exemplify this cultural synthesis, each dish carrying its own story and significance, passed down through generations.

It's more than just fun and food. It's about coming together, sharing good wishes, and looking forward to a fresh start. It's a celebration that brings everyone together, showing how different cultures can blend beautifully in the Philippines. It's a holiday that's both fun and meaningful, a special time for Filipinos of all backgrounds.
