The Significance of Celebration




      

     The Vigan City Fiesta is held every 25th of January. It is celebrated during the feast day of the conversion of St. Paul the Apostle. St. Paul is Vigan City’s patron saint. The Vigan City Fiesta usually lasts for several days. It includes within the period the celebration of the anniversary of the cityhood of Vigan, which is commemorated every January 27. Biguenos from all over the country and even abroad return to Vigan, as it is the custom of Filipinos to return to their hometown to join their family and friends in the celebration of their fiesta. They are joined by thousands of visitors from other parts of the Philippines and other countries in enjoying the cultural shows, parades, and street dancing prepared by the local government with the help of the local industries and communities. There are also food fairs, arts and crafts exhibits, as well as a visiting carnival.

     We all have been affected by the current COVID-19 pandemic. Nonetheless, it is very pleasing to know that we still have this celebration amidst these circumstances. Considering the huge risk that one might get infected by the said virus and the strict health protocols; we cannot celebrate it just like how we used to. The limited movements and social distancing cause us to have lesser interaction with one another giving us a different feel during this said celebration. But still, the idea of celebrating it brings happiness to us.

     All in all, we should still be thankful because we are able to celebrate it. Since celebrating things like fiesta is still very important because it can lessen stress and other illness caused by overworking.

Happiness Over Crisis

        Christmas is celebrated to remember the birth of Jesus Christ, who most people believe is the son of God. Christmas is one of the longest holidays that we Filipino's are celebrating every year.  One cannot deny that this holiday feels warm and joyful when it comes to celebrating it with their family members, close friends, or simply their loved ones.

At times, I always tend to zone out when working and waste the time that is designated for my modules. At night, I sometimes suffer insomnia because I often overthink about things. I addressed these problems by communicating with my parents about my behaviour and helped myself by cooperating with them. These past
