Binatbatan Festival

 

       It’s been more than a year the pandemic affected the whole world especially the economy of every country. This pandemic affected the lives of millions of peoples because of lockdowns, closure of businesses and establishments as well as transportations. Also, tourism is hardly affected  in municipalities, cities and provinces but amidst to this pandemic, some are still celebrating its annual festivities that used to be a tourists attractions of their places.

Vigan City is one of this places that used to celebrate its annual festivities like the Binatbatan Festival of the Arts. It  is yearly celebrated in the first week of May. Due to strict restrictions of the safety and health protocols, the celebration of this festival was not as it is before, instead,  some activities are done through the help via social medias and video sharing applications like Zoom and Facebook. Site seeing on the decorated businesses and houses are done but must observe social distancing.


Even though Binatbatan festival celebrated in a simple way due to the pandemic, it was done to remember the culture and traditions of the Biguenos. It is not only as festival but it represents largely how the people of Vigan love its tradition, its works and more that represent the uniqueness of the Vigan City. The festival was done aligned with the safety health protocols and standards as to not complicate the problems brought by the pandemic. This may also be done to bring smiles to our faces and eases the hard feelings we are enduring in this time of difficulties.

It’s really important to remember our culture and traditions eventhough we are facing crisis. Let’s smile to feel better and face the challenges that we are encountering this the day. Be strong and safe during this time  pandemic.

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.
