Vigan City Fiesta Celebration amidst the COVID 19 Pandemic

 

             Here in Vigan City we celebrate fiesta is important events because they merge and nurture culture, history, family relationships and camaraderie, and also introduce us to new acquaintances. For many of us, this time of year is a time for finding joy in the planning and celebrating of various festivals.

            Coping with the disappointment that you may not be able to mark an occasion in the usual way, particularly events which have special meaning, can be challenging. You may feel a range of emotions akin to grief and sadness, which is completely understandable. Accepting the reality of our situation without holding on to the hope that maybe things will return to ‘normal’ in time, can help. If you can reduce the gap between your expectations of the ‘perfect holiday’ and the reality of what’s possible, you can plan how to balance safety and celebration.

                      Women's Month Celebration has since served as a venue to highlight women's achievements and discuss continuing and emerging women's empowerment and gender equality issues and concerns, challenges, and commitments.                 We celebrate women trailblazers in politics, governance, and other areas of public service and development efforts, especially during the pandemic. Women from all walks of life have in their own way shown leadership and compassion in the delivery of inclusive, innovative, and effective responses to the pandemic. In every family, every barangay, every island of the nation, and every small or big organization, we have Juanas who takes the role of solution providers, peacemakers, and trendsetters during these difficult times. The skills and talents that women have should be further harnessed by empowering and providing them spaces that enable their meaningful participation in planning and decision making at various levels.

Day of Valor

Image
                           This historic day marks the greatness of Filipino veterans and American allies who fought against the Japanese invasion in World War II. Thousands of lives were lost during this dark chapter in our history in defending the country’s freedom and sovereignty. The siege of Bataan was the first major land battle for the Americans in World War II and one of the most-devastating military defeats in American history. The force on Bataan, numbering some 76,000 Filipino and American troops, is the largest army under American command ever to surrender.                 Araw ng Kagitingan also known as Bataan Day and Bataan and Corregidor Day, is a national observance in the Philippines which commemorates the fall of Bataan during World War II. It falls on April 9, although in 2009, its celebration was moved to April 6 to avoid it from coinciding with Maundy Thursday. The “Fall of Bataan” serves as a constant symbol of the Filipinos’ bravery and patriotism. Now that we
