Longanisaa festival

Image
 Apo San Pablo, Agyaman kami kadagiti bendisyon ken parabor a dimteng iti biag mi. ikararag mi iti naragsak a panang celebrar mi iti Fiesta ni Apo San Pablo.” This touching phrase, spoken by a child prior to the evening event of the Fiesta of the Conversion of St. Paul, established the mood for the festivities. Listening to it sent chills down my spine and gave me goosebumps, as if I were journeying through Vigan’s vibrant and rich cultural heritage. At that instant, I sensed a profound bond with the beliefs, customs, and lively essence that render the Heritage City of Vigan exceptionally unique. The Heritage City of Vigan is renowned for its abundant culture, Spanish colonial buildings, and lively customs. Each January, Bigueños celebrate the Fiesta of the Conversion of St. Paul, a magnificent occasion featuring parades, contests, dances, and culinary festivals. This year, I got to experience the celebration, and it was genuinely memorable. The streets were filled with residents a...

Jose rizal

Image
 Yet one individual will forever be the first to cross my thoughts. A person who didn't employ aggression, but rather utilized paper and pen to inspire the spirit of revolution. He is Jose Rizal, widely considered the national hero of the Philippines, a figure whose intelligence, bravery, and literary works sparked the sense of nationalism among Filipinos during the Spanish colonial period.  His novels Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo revealed the injustices and abuses of the Spanish government, motivating Filipinos to strive for freedom and equality. Rizal’s aspirations for an independent and esteemed nation positioned him as the emblematic figure of the Philippines, embodying the principles of freedom, education, and reform. In addition to his literary works, Rizal was a doctor, linguist, and advocate for reform who championed nonviolent transformation via education and social duty. His life illustrated that genuine patriotism involves not just armed conflict but also u...

3rd quarterr reflection

Image
 During this quarter, I learned about the significance of community-centered research methods—ranging from developing a community profile, composing the study's background, and evaluating data to drawing conclusions and making recommendations. I discovered how these components fit together like puzzle pieces, with each one essential for grasping the larger context of our community’s well-being and obstacles. I acquired technical skills in utilizing HTML frames, tables, and lists to display information in a structured manner, enhancing the organization and visual appeal of my outputs. These findings revealed that research involves not only collecting information but also articulating it in a clear and significant manner. One of the greatest difficulties I encountered was managing my time between schoolwork and extracurricular pursuits. Due to my participation in school clubs and community initiatives, I occasionally missed classes and needed to make up for lost time promptly. Anothe...

Christmas

Image
 Christmas is the season of giving—gifts, love, and kindness. It is my favorite time of the year because it allows me to share presents with my friends and family. Beyond the material gifts, what makes Christmas special is the warmth and affection that fills the air. Within that month, I truly felt love: in the laughter we shared, the hugs exchanged, and the joy of being surrounded by people who matter most. This is the essence of Christmas—it is not only about what we give, but how we give it, with sincerity and compassion. On December 22, our family gathered at our house in Caoayan to celebrate both Christmas and New Year. The house was alive with festive decorations, delicious food, and the sound of cheerful voices. Being together under one roof reminded us that Christmas is not just a date on the calendar, but a moment of unity. It is a time when families reconnect, strengthen bonds, and create memories that last far beyond the season. One of the highlights of our celebration w...
