Reinventing Longganisa Cookfest amidst Pandemic

 


                The Corona Virus Infectious Disease 2019 or COVID-19 that started in China spread worldwide that affected the whole economy of each country. Due to this, we can’t do the things we usually do; our daily life is greatly affected. Large crowd gathering is also forbidden for the safety of the people, thus, annual festivities that attracts tourists of some places was never been like before, just like the longganisa festival held every 22nd day of January in Vigan City.

                Amidst to the pandemic, the City Government of Vigan celebrated the Longgganisa Festival 2021. Some activities were held thru on-line, other thru face to face following strickly the safety health protocols of the national government against covid-19. One activity held was the Longganisa Cookfest. Participants used longganisa as the main ingredient of their menu. Only the participants, judges and organizers were present in the said event. It was categorized in two; first is freelance and the second group was from schools. Contestants didn’t cook at the same time as it was usually practice before; instead, they cook one at a time in front of judges, while observing physical distancing and health protocols.  After they finished cooking the dish, the judges proceed to taste it while it’s hot.  



                Despite the pandemic, the said activity was successfully conducted thru good cooperation and observing health and safety protocols.

    It really is kinda sad that we don't get to enjoy the same things as before, like the Longganisa Festival. Because just like you said, mass gatherings are not allowed. But above all, I like how you wrote your blog. So simple but meaningful.

    Amazing blog! It is very informative and entertaining. Festivals are still celebrated but it is not the same as before because of the pandemic. Despite our eagerness to celebrate these events like before, we have to adjust for our safety.

Improvement

  I've come a long way and learn so much during the 4th Quarter of School. I learn more about so many things. Sometimes I get overwhelmed by the new knowledge I've learned.  Writing essays is not really my forte so I struggle a lot making one. It was hard for me most of the time. So making essays are the last thing I'll do when doing my modules.  Doing the essays let me improve my writings, even just a little bit. Everytime I ran out of Ideas on how to write and what to write, I mostly turn to the internet and get ideas and inspiration.

3rd Quarter

Image
  Throughout the 3rd Quarter I learned further about html and web design, I also learned about Community Based Research. Through the activities, I learned more or discover more about the community I’m in.  Some of the challenges I’ve encountered is that lack of motivation, unstable internet connection, etc. These challenges are mostly self-dependent and as long as I push myself harder, I should be able to win against these challenges or problems.  Relaxation is good but it seems that I’m relaxing too much that I spent much more time to complete my modules compared to before, so, I’m trying to regain my focus and motivation in learning this past few days.  Moving on, I’ll try to get back my motivation and work much harder than before. I’ll continue to stay strong and safe this pandemic. References  https://wallpaperaccess.com/blue-sea

Problems in education, livelihood, health, etc. With new casualties popping out, we became anxious, specially if this COVID casualty is in our place. Our physical and mental health is always at risk.     Frontlines are our heroes this pandemic. They do their best for the sake of their love ones and our country. Controlling the spread of this virus takes courage, specially when you, yourself is at stake. Frontliners sure are brave.      People find a way to solve their problems. They are strong because they are able to survive despite the setbacks and challenges. People makes a country better and strong...
