Ensuring Safety for the Younger Generations


        Since the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic back in March 2020, the virus has claimed more than 2.5 million lives globally with upwards of 113 million cases being confirmed by laboratory tests. We all have been affected by the current COVID-19 pandemic. However, the impact of the pandemic and its consequences are felt differently. Our children were one of the most affected. Children are limited in almost everything due to the restrictions and strict health protocols that are implemented by the government. Considering the huge risk that one might get infected by the said virus; they are limited to go out and enjoy their youth as the older generations did.

          However, the latest news that vaccines are available for teens and children is very pleasing. Before recommending COVID-19 vaccination for children, scientists conducted clinical trials with thousands of children and no serious safety concerns were identified. COVID-19 vaccination is now offering a way to transition out of this phase of the pandemic. Currently, a total of seven COVID-19 vaccines available across three platforms have been approved and are being rolled out across the globe. It is important to have our children vaccinated for more protection against the virus. Getting a COVID-19 vaccination is a safer way to build protection than getting sick with COVID-19. COVID-19 vaccination helps protect you by creating an antibody response without you having to experience sickness.

            In conclusion, we should never hesitate to have our children vaccinated since the said vaccine is proven to be safe. By having them vaccinated, we can protect them from the deadly virus and be more confident or assured that they are safe from any harm.

The Batbat Festivity

Which locals interpreted as an occupational dance with the use of two sticks called ”batbat”. Binabatan street dance is one of the main attractions during the week-long celebrations. It evolved from this and majestically transformed today as the most colorful and significant festival to Bigueños as it focuses on the remembrance of Apo Lakay's deliverance as well as promoting the local fabric, Abel Iloco.      The present COVID-19 pandemic has impacted all of us.
