A More Discerned Biguenious During Christmas in the Midst of Pandemic

 

"Our Biguenious culture is so rich that expressing it in words isn't enough; we need to express it in festivities and manifest it in our intangible good traditions so that others can understand."

Filipinos are unquestionably the most festive people on the planet. Christmas music can be heard on radio stations as early as September 1st, signaling the start of the holiday season. Every city and town in the Philippines celebrates the season in their own distinctive way. The annual unveiling of the Christmas tree in Vigan, a World Heritage City, draws a large crowd of residents.

Party on the Street, especially along the famous coubled stone calle crisologo and its adjacent streets is almost a known folk traditions during festivities. Seeing a flocks of Biguenious is not as common as during a pre pandemic Christmas celebrations rather a usual observing a minimum public health standards. A restricted celebrations will always come to an exist as a new normal movements and easement among people could not hampered our traditional folks of Biguenious of celebrating the birth of messiah - Jesus Christ. EVERY YEAR, THE HERITAGE CITY OF VIGAN DEBUTTES A NEW CHRISTMAS TREE, WITH A NEW THEME. The 2021 Vigan Christmas Tree was unveiled in front of the Vigan City Hall on October 26, 2021. The Christmas tree's trunk was hidden behind a massive white curtain. Biguenious flocked to this annual tradition in large numbers.

The Heritage City of Vigan will officially start the Christmas season on November 27, 2021, with the simultaneous lighting of this year's colorful 37-foot Christmas Tree in front of Vigan City Hall and the Christmas Village at Vigan Conservation Complex. Due to the pandemic, the City Government has restricted the public's ability to attend this year's opening ceremony, instead allowing them to watch it live online via the City's official Facebook Page. During this pandemic, the massive, gleaming Christmas Tree inspires hope and positivity in every Biguenious and Ilocano. Despite the odds caused by the pandemic, the Christmas vibes in Vigan continued as the annual Artes Ita Paskua of the City Government of Vigan got its way last December 07 -17, 2021 with the new normal set-up in which most of the events were done online and others with limited participants to comply with the City Covid-19 Task Force's Minimum Health Standards.

     To avoid mass gatherings while still enjoying the season, the City Events, Promotions, and Protocol Office directed barangay and home-based competitions such as the Inter-Barangay Christmas Installation Contest, which was held last December 7-8, 2021, in which different barangays of the city displayed their Nativity Scenes, Christmas Trees, and other colorful and bright Christmas related decorations in their respective Barangay Halls and covered courts made of recycled mater. The judging of entries and the awarding of winners were done by personally visiting them in their barangays; in the end, the following were declared as winners and received cash prizes and trophies. The City Government's various offices and divisions continued to bring the Christmas season and positive vibes into their respective offices by putting up recycled Christmas Trees. Each entry depicts the works and services of their department and was judged on December 14, 2021. The Lantern or Parol is a traditional representation of Filipinos at Christmas, and its creation has become one of the highlights of the city's annual Artes Ita Paskua. One of the most recent events for the celebration this year is an essay competition that addresses the grown-up wishes or dreams of a Biguenious while providing hope and entertainment to its readers. The competition was open to all Biguenious aged 25 and up, but due to the current situation, the number of participants was limited to ten. To accommodate the new setup, the essay's theme was sent to the participants simultaneously thirty minutes before the allotted time of the competition. Participants then scanned and sent their handwritten master piece to the organizers for judging. The Street Painting Competition quickly became one of Artes Ita Paskua's most anticipated events, with artists from all over the city eagerly participating to show off their creativity and passion for the arts. The fifteen entries this year gave their best interpretation of Ilocano Christmas Traditions and Family Values. The event was scheduled for three days last December 09-11, 2021, with participants divided into three batches to adhere to the City's Health Protocols. The winners were honored at the Vigan Conservation Complex.

     To further entice Biguenious families and discern the true essence of Christmas in the midst of the pandemic, various families with five members participated in this year's Sa May Bahay-Christmas Carol Competition on December 12, 2021, where each entry was allowed to choose any Christmas Song with acoustic or recycled accompaniment. The voice quality, blending, and authenticity of the video were used to determine the winners, as editing and the use of enhancers and microphones were prohibited. On December 13, 2021, the city's various film enthusiasts and adorable Biguenious children shine at the Christmas Dokyu Film Competition and Santa Baby–Photography Competition. The short film entries ranged in length from three to six minutes and featured children's Christmas stories. In addition, to adhere to health protocols, the organizers limited the number of members per entry. Adorable Christmas characters, on the other hand, were expressed through the Santa Baby: Photography Contest, in which Biguenious toddlers dressed up in their best and cutest Christmas costumes. Models were only allowed to take photos inside their homes using a mobile phone during the competition. According to them, competitions were judged virtually through the CEPPO and TVigan Channel. By putting up recycled Christmas trees, the City Government's various offices and divisions continued to bring the Christmas season and positive vibes into their respective offices. Each entry depicts their department's works and services and was judged on December 14, 2021.On December 16, 2021, twelve equally young and talented ladies competed in this year's Little Miss Santa Claus, where the candidates ramped up and showcased virtually their Christmas inspired costumes, talents, and wit during an online casual interview.

     Due to the pandemic, this year's competition was too different from previous years in which the City Government of Vigan, through the City Events, Promotions, and Protocol Office, in collaboration with the TVigan Channel, and under the supervision of the City Covid-19 Task Force, took all necessary actions to follow health protocols while celebrating our Artes Ita Paskua."

    It also emphasized that the City pushed through the celebration in order to give hope and allow the Biguenious to still feel the spirit of Christmas in these trying times. Truly, a Biguenious Families enables and is much discern of the true essence of Christmas amidst of the threat of pandemic. A meaningful Christmas celebration comes with a gift giving. A Christmas is symbol of Christ. And Christ is a symbol of Love.

Keeping the Vigan Heritage Sites Alive Amidst of Pandemic VIVA VIGAN!

 

       Most awaited historic pride, home of culture that defines valued footprints of the past, reflects a sense of exceptional ethereal beauty, ensembles the strength, knowledge, and abide within soul and heart A well-loved contribution, well-preserved, displaying a golden treasured gift from the past clinging to the future, and colorful culture simile to a living legend and a one-of-a-kind paradise. Ciudad Fernandina, a land with a historic framework, a destination of breathtaking experiences, surprises, and awesomeness.

      Grand, rejoice, and glorious drawn upon the worth smiles of people celebrating the city-wide feast in honor of St.Paul the Apostle's conversion, the city patron saint. January 25, a day when every movement and gesture is filled with excitement, every inside happiness is scented with pleasure, and every painted view is precisely indelible. The celebration usually lasts several days, including the commemoration of Vigan's cityhood anniversary on January 27. Prepare to be mesmerized, and take the first step through the exploration that will undoubtedly satisfy your taste buds and experiences.

       Festivals in the Philippines allow people to showcase their rich culture while also paying homage to history and patron saints. Tourists from all over the world come to the Philippines to enjoy our country's grand festivals, which, without a doubt, make life more enjoyable in the Philippines. Festivals are an important part of our Filipino culture. Each province has its own Filipino fiesta, which it is very proud of. Every January 25th, Vigan City holds a fiesta in honor of St. Paul the Apostle, the city's patron saint. Vigan City Fiesta is made up of arts and crafts, carnivals, street dancing, and other activities that represent the spirit of Vigan. Because of the global pandemic, this year's Vigan Town Fiesta is very different from previous years. However, the city government of Vigan found a way to make the celebration possible, even if it is in a new normal style of celebration.

     Most religious festivals at this time of year celebrate prosperity, hope, and light, and it is critical that we remember or hold onto the meaning of these celebrations even more if we are unable to mark them as we have in the past. Vigan City Fiesta is significant because it preserves our province's culture and traditions. It assists others in comprehending the importance or significance of the occasion. Celebrations bring joy and love to friends and family. The city government devised ways to commemorate or thank our patron saints, to keep us closer to our religion and tradition, to teach us ethics to our future generations, to stimulate economic activity because it provides people with employment opportunities, to provide a great source of entertainment, and to help us understand and respect the sacrifices of people throughout history.

        This year's Vigan City Fiesta was altered by the global pandemic. They make sure to celebrate it in some way, with the help of social media platforms, while still adhering to the implementation of health protocols to ensure people's safety. I hope our suffering as a result of today's global health crisis comes to an end soon so that we can enjoy things like this without worry or fear. To ensure the safety of all Biguenos, the city government planned at least a low-key festival. The city government places a premium on social distance and hygiene protocols. For coronavirus prevention, everyone must follow all hygiene precautions. Washing hands frequently, wearing masks, and using hand sanitizer are just a few of the health and safety precautions they must take to ensure the safety of everyone at the festival. The purpose of a celebration is to bring people together. Everyone should make an effort to adjust to this new normal.

     Celebrating festivals in the midst of the COVID-19 is extremely difficult. Everyone is struggling to adjust to the new normal way of celebrating festivals. It can be difficult to commemorate a special occasion when you are unable to do so in the usual manner. Some people may experience a variety of emotions, including grief and sadness. Accepting the reality of our situation allows us to cope with this new normal. We must bridge the gap between our expectations of a perfect celebration and the reality of what may occur; if we can do this, we will be able to plan how to balance safety and celebration.

       Celebrations, whether large or small, give us something to look forward to, lift our spirits, and assist us in recognizing the good things in life. Festivals are still important in the midst of a global pandemic. We may not be able to celebrate in the same way we used to, but sharing moments with others, even when we are unable to be together, can teach us to appreciate the simple pleasures in life. Don't let sadness or anxiety overwhelm you during this time of crisis; instead, create things that you believe will make you happy. Negative thoughts should be eliminated from your mind, and you should always think positively.

Getting Back on Track in the Second Quarter - Massive, Constant, and Thriving

 

        Since the pandemic became a worldwide fear, unavoidable, and worst virus, people have been completely exhausted and devastated. It almost brought an end to the world, negatively affecting and changing many aspects, including the entire educational system. Even though the implementation of the new normal was a roller coaster ride, it was also a great key to opening with new discoveries and learning to be well-equipped, betterment, accept the reality, and properly adjust to step up in the world of the new normal.

         Embraced by significant learnings, embedded by life-changing discoveries, and shaped by essential knowledge. Through the one-of-a-kind journey of remarkable ICT learning, I have truthfully gained a lot of necessary information, seized nourished opportunities, and learned to possess positivity and healthy improving life aspects of life. I really gained a lot of comprehensive learnings and interactive experiences this second quarter, especially in ICT. I learned a lot of new terms, mostly about HTML tags. I also learned about the "Notepad" app's function, which allows us to create, open, and read plaintext files. I admit that I had no idea what the app's true meaning or function was back then, and I assumed it was used for notes similar to the app on mobile phones. I didn't realize I was wrong until we learned how to use it in ICT for HTML files. Despite the fact that I learned some things, I still faced difficulties and difficult challenges throughout this quarter's learning. As I previously stated, I was initially perplexed because there were so many HTML tags to choose from and where to place them. I'm constantly asking myself if what I've done is correct or incorrect. I also have problems uploading my HTML files due to a poor or unstable internet connection, which irritates me. To summarize, there were times when I was about to give up on each subject, but I reminded myself to take those tasks slowly and steadily. I look on the bright side and realize that my struggles and failures should not push me to quit, but rather serve as motivation to continue and strive harder. I may face difficulties and difficult challenges, but I am confident that I will overcome them all. Sharing knowledgeable thoughts and ideas, opening up opinions, essential for expressing mixed emotions, deeply developing skills and capabilities, sharpening the writing, communication, understanding, comprehensive and brain's performances, boosting a good confidence, and building a strong reflection and inspiration are powerful benefits of the blog that truly helps me to be wiser. On the other hand, what I have apprehensively adapted and am continuing to succeed with are the processes for being a responsible, fulfilling, and accurate life manager. Prioritizing every detail that may have an impact on one's life, dealing with challenges and breaking down barriers with courage, thinking precisely before acting, wearing the crown of growth and development, remaining positively brave, and obtaining academic passion A state of being with tenacity, strong mindsets, and the ability to break through to spectacular goals. A genuine mind and heart, as well as defined credibility, morals, effectiveness, organization, perseverance, consistency, and education. I also looked after what was extremely important and devised tough plans to execute successfully. The internet became my friend, and I was able to bring the new learning processes to life.

       Difficulties and challenges are an unavoidable analogy to dodging a burning ball. The uneasy adjustments coping with the emerging new normal education where everything was affected and changed are the first experienced difficulties. Furthermore, due to barriers in the implementation of new normal processes, it was extremely difficult to achieve high quality learnings. What a series of unfortunate events that brought too much halt and roughness just to achieve sustainability. As I see it, it was also a challenge of distress, doubt, and daunt, and it was difficult to find motivation while realizing the reality was hitting us differently. Experienced the existing temptation of distractions that truly became a burden, a crisis of seeking resiliency, difficulty managing time, responsibilities, and hobbies, and thus being unable to close the gaps, as well as the worst procrastination. A little apprehension about setting wise goals, improving capabilities, and autodidacts also hampers comprehension.

     Balance, discipline, control, proper adaptation, healthiness, multitasking, and pursuit are all competent words that are greatly needed. Be wise, productive, and powerful in your success. Keep in mind that challenges and problems are always a part of life to help shape and inspire you to progress and uplift. Begin my journey with fresh eyes, new opportunities, and perseverance. Strive harder, be better, and you will be rewarded with victory. Don't be afraid to seek out advice, affection, and guidance. Evaluate a colorful, pleasurable, blooming, deeper, and delightful life.

  Moving forward, I will undoubtedly carry the significant learning and memorable experiences with me for future development. As the quote goes, "if your path is more different and difficult, it's because your calling and success are higher." "Different roads often lead to beautiful destinations."

A New Outlook, A Beginning of a New Life

 

       With cases of COVID-19 variant Omicron on the rise this year, people should spend New Year's Eve at home with family and friends. New Year is a time when we bid adieu to the present year and welcome new beginnings with open arms. It provides us with another opportunity to begin a fresh, and its arrival is marked with pomp and fervor. We are planning to spend New Year's Eve at home with family and friends this year, as cases of COVID-19 variant Omicron are on the rise.

       The New Year is celebrated with great zeal and enthusiasm all over the world. The end of the year's 31st December at 12 o'clock midnight and the beginning of the next year's 1st January mark the beginning of a New Year. The New Year is celebrated with great excitement and joy all over the world. This is a significant day for us who use it to usher in the new year in our own unique way. We buy a wide range of clothing and items from the market. Food and customs abound at New Year's Day celebrations. To commemorate the occasion, music and dance are used. This day excites as  children because we  get to eat a variety of foods and go on a fun trip with our family or friends. According to calendars, different communities celebrate the new year on different days. The new year is also celebrated on January 1st, but according to Hindu scriptures, the new year falls between March and April. The new year is celebrated in January according to the English calendar.

     Many Filipinos regard New Year's Day as a significant holiday in the country. In the Gregorian calendar, which is used in many countries, including the Philippines, this marks the beginning of a new year. New Year's Day is a public holiday. The general public has the day off, and schools and most businesses are closed. It will fall on a Saturday in 2022, and some businesses may choose to keep Saturday hours. Many Filipino people unite on New Year’s Eve, which is on December 31, to celebrate a midnight meal known as the Media Noche. It is also customary to stay awake until the New Year arrives. Filipinos also light fireworks and make a lot of noise on New Year's Day to ward off evil spirits. This belief originated from the Chinese. The elderly encourage their children to jump at the stroke of midnight in order for them to grow tall. Many people display 12 circular fruits and wear polka-dot clothing to represent money. It is also popular practice to open all the doors and windows at the stroke of midnight to let in the good luck. Many Filipino families also read the Christian bible and attend midnight church services. Many Filipinos celebrate New Year's Day by combining religion and superstition.

    The New Year's Day/New Year's Eve celebrations begin on December 31 and last until January 1. The celebration of New Year's Day in the Philippines is brief but distinctive. This is also the time of the year when many Filipino families get together and strengthen their family ties. New Year’s Day in the Philippines is a joyful holiday that is characterized with the intermarriage of religion and paganism which are the attributes of a once Hispanic Philippine Society. Filipinos represent New Year's Day with visions of how the start of the New Year opens up opportunities for a prosperous life. This is why the Filipino dining table, which is the focal point of this holiday, is piled high with food in round or circular shapes to represent money. Fireworks also represent driving away bad luck on New Year's Day.

     The new year is quickly approaching, and parties are springing up all over the place. As the year 2021 comes to a close, people are preparing to make new promises and begin new endeavours in 2022. It is time to make New Year's resolutions that will assist people in achieving their goals. Every year, the beginning of the year is full of optimism, good energy, and good vibes. People celebrate this day by going out with their friends, family and relatives. Many celebrations go into making this a truly memorable time and it is worth remembering!

    New Year – Not only is it a time to celebrate, but it is also a time to start fresh. At the same time, keeping in mind that the changes we march towards should be good and dignified. We are human beings with both good and bad qualities. When a child is born into the world, his or her heart is pure, and it absorbs everything it sees as it grows. When we reach adulthood, it is time to mold ourselves into good people. This can be accomplished by removing negative thoughts and habits from our minds and cultivating new, positive habits and disciplines as a way of life. A well-defined resolution can bring about such a change. Every year, we can prepare our minds to accept good things that are difficult to accept and to let go of bad things that are difficult to let go of. Setting New Year Resolutions is a good habit to develop in order to renew ourselves each year.

“ I LIKE THE DREAMS OF THE FUTURE BETTER THAN THE HISTORY OF THE PAST”

    New Year Resolutions are goals that people set at the start of each year with the intention of achieving them. The list of life resolutions is extensive. Personal goals can vary, such as people wanting to be happy, love themselves, gain or lose weight, or gain or lose attention. However, as a student or adolescent, my personal goals would be to study hard, achieve more success, stop taking things for granted, love humanity, earn money, success, more positivity, or focus on health. What characteristics characterize the ideal New Year's Resolution? A New Year Resolution is an idea that better shapes and reflects your personality. Every year, as students, I should refine my thoughts, develop good habits, and improve my personalities. As is widely believed, the New Year provides with an opportunity to break free from old habits and make positive and productive changes in my daily lives. All walks of life set goals and make my  resolutions to live happier, more contented, peaceful, and prosperous lives.

     Resolutions are often made to do away with bad and useless activities. All activities that let go time unproductive and yield into nothing are erased and replaced into new activities that never go in vain and bring productive changes. It’s very hard to avoid rampant activities that destroy our lives.

     A New Year Resolution is an idea that better shapes and reflects my personality. Every year, as a student, I should refine my thoughts, cultivate good habits, and improve my personality. The following are a few resolutions that would be great to include on a New Year's Resolution I am a student, and time is the most valuable commodity to me. I'm going to die tomorrow if I don't kill time now. The following is a list of my New Year's resolutions.

1) I'll go to bed earlier and get up earlier.

2) Organize yourself.

3) Pick up a new skill.

4) Exercise on a regular basis

5) Put an end to procrastination.

6) Make an effort to be more assertive.

7) Consume nutritious foods

Take pleasure in every moment of your life.

9) Assist others, particularly those in need.

10) Reducing time spent on non-productive activities.

•         Getting Myself into Good Grades: By grade, I'm referring to improving my academic and discipline grades.

•         Getting Rid of Procrastination in my Life: Procrastination is one of the most difficult to break but most harmful habits. I need to break the habit of putting off tasks until the last possible moment. I can prove to be the best in everything if I start completing all of my tasks on time.

•         How to Learn a New Language: Learning as many languages as possible is always a good idea. As a result, learning a new and foreign language can be a fun New Year's Resolution.

•         Making Eco-Friendly Decisions: I believe it is past time for us to go green. The negative effects on the environment, such as melting glaciers, global warming, and worst-case disasters, can all be mitigated to some extent by being environmentally friendly.

•         Being Kind to Everyone: Above all, the best New Year Resolution is to try to be kind to everyone, regardless of how others treat us. There is no such thing as a good habit as Loving Our Neighbours.

      The above are just a few resolutions that apply to me as a person. However, I must sit and reflect on myself in order to formulate a New Year Resolution that will help me become a better person throughout the year. To achieve my above-mentioned resolutions and goals, I will make numerous changes in my daily routine. Excessive use of social media, particularly Facebook, Whatsapp, and Twitter, is one of the leading causes of procrastination. Aside from that, I'm going to try to limit how much time I spend in front of the television. Instead of watching too much television, I'm going to try to find a sport that I enjoy and play it to stay fit and smart. A good student can be identified by his or her behaviour and character. Because respecting and obeying elders is considered good manners, I will be respectful to my parents, teachers, and elders.

     Our personality is formed by our good manners. These modifications will improve my personality. My New Year's resolutions will not only help me to break bad habits and adopt good ones, but they will also brighten my future and help me succeed at every turn.

“ LIFE’S NOT ABOUT EXPECTING, HOPING AND WISHING, IT’S ABOUT DOING, BEING AND BECOMING”

     So in short, my New Year Resolution could be any goal which I want to achieve in a particular year. To motivate for that.....Also, New Year Resolution is to make my list of goals I want to achieve in this year. Everyone's life is made more exciting by the arrival of the New Year. However, it is truly unique for me as a student. I am the ones who will be in charge of the future. When presented to me in an engaging manner, New Year's Resolutions will be extremely meaningful to me as a student. As a student, I frequently make New Year's resolutions. In essence, a New Year resolution is made when one wishes to correct mistakes made in the previous year or to do something in a more organized manner. I've set specific goals for myself in terms of my studies and my future. A good student always learns from his or her mistakes in the current or previous year, and on the eve of the New Year, he or she vows to oneself to correct all mistakes made in the past year, despite the ocean of other activities. I am a student who frequently procrastinates studies, wastes time, and engages in frivolous activities that have a negative impact on their studies.

“ IT TAKES COURAGE TO GROW UP AND BECOME YOU REALLY ARE”

     Every year, I make it a point to set a goal for myself and to work hard every waking moment to achieve that goal. I need to dream in order to do something useful, because dreaming and achieving goals are synonymous with success. I am also a student, and as a student, I have made resolutions in the past, but I, like everyone else, have broken them. But this time, I'm going to keep my resolutions and make a conscious effort to change. I've written down a few goals that I'd like to achieve this year and plan to stick to them. The most crucial aspect is to be well-organized. I have a bad habit of not organizing my work and thus end up with unfinished homework and projects. So this year, I want to be more systematic and organized so that I can finish my work on time and do not put off the tasks that have been assigned to me. Second, I want to improve my reading skills.

“ THE MAGIC IN NEW BEGINNINGS IS TRULY THE MOST POWERFUL OF THEM ALL”

     New Year is a significant event for every country and individual. The New Year motivates us to start new projects and gives us the energy to live our lives with renewed zeal and joy. I learn from my mistakes in the previous year and make a new resolution or oath to complete the work with full energy, which leads to my success, in the New Year. It's like a festival that infuses us with new energy, increasing the significance of the New Year in our lives.

     It is a historic day that should commemorate an important day in our lives; now is the time to learn from the mistakes of the previous year and make new resolutions. It gives our lives new dimensions. Every year, we should greet the New Year with renewed vigor and enthusiasm in order to improve our lives.

“ ALTHOUGH NO ONE CAN GO BACK AND MAKE A BAND NEW START, ANYONE CAN START FROM NOW AND MAKE A BRAND NEW ENDING”
