Every year, we are
celebrating Kannawidan Festival and once, lets again bring back the pat,
culture and traditions. This celebration started last January 30, 2015 and
ended on February 13, 2015, a two-week long festive celebration of happiness.
This is not only for us to reminisce the past but it unites Bigueños.
We should be proud of for this is the only city that is
preserved. I’m glad to see that even children participated and danced the
ethnic music, it means, our culture is still alive even we are here in we so
called “modern world.” They are not shy to show where they came from. They are
not ashamed to wear “bahag” that symbolizes our very own culture.
OTOP of different municipalities were displayed by these we can
see how creative they are to transform raw materials to a useful one. A simple
food to a unique one like ginger tea, squash noodles and many more, which is
not common, I bet they are all delicious. Bigueños are really
talented and unique.
Kannawidan Ylocos Festival aims to create awareness that we are
rich in culture heritage, practices and traditions that attracts tourist. We
should never forget the past, for they bring us fame. We should treasure and
preserve those for the next generations to witness how rich Ilocos Sur in
culture, traditions and practices.
