Festivals into the new normal

Every year, places in the world celebrates a special occasion every year. One of them is the “Kannawidan Festival” in vigan.

We see an increase in the number of cases in our country every single day. And because of that there may be difficulties while celebrating Kannawidan on January 25^th. Here in Ilocos Sur, we are in the third level alert, so it is critical to maintain a distance and to follow the rules and guidelines. But just not because of this, we cannot celebrate festivals, because it is also possible to celebrate indoors.

Festivals are a good way to celebrate culture and traditions, as they are made for people to rejoice and connect with their loved ones. But we shouldn’t forget that the safety of our friends and family are more important in our lives.

The Start of a New Begining

This new normal started different and many kids are suffering in this pandemic. Students are struggling a lot during this pandemic because of schoolwork. Online learning may sound and look good, but it has its own struggles too. Online learning requires you to study by yourself which is hard to some people like me, some teachers might try to discuss lesson to us but not all have internet and the devices needed for it, and the mountain of tasks to be done in such a short time and notice is hard.

The pandemic gave everyone inconvenience and kids should be protected by giving ...

Pandemic: What happened to education

Education provides people knowledge about our world and to hone our own skills for the better. Education also helps us prepare to have our own points of view and form our own opinions on different in life. In this pandemic people still try to find ways to help people from learning. One of these are The Department of Education also known as DepED, they are finding ways on how can students still learn during this pandemic. One of these is online learning, and the other one is modular learning. Online learning uses the internet so that the students and also the teachers to connect to each other to have a class, but there is a huge problem with this, not all students and teachers have the necessary equipment to have an online class because of poor internet connections and financial problems. So the other option now is the modular learning where in students are given the printed materials for them to study and work on their activities. https://www.povertyactionlab.org/blog/8-31-...

The Spirit of Christmas Still Lives

Christmas has been a tradition for so long I can remember, for us to celebrate the birth of Jesus. We celebrate it every year on December 25. This tradition includes exchanging gifts, caroling at houses, and enjoying a nice Noche Buena with your family and friends. Christmas is the day everyone is looking forward every single year. However, the virus called Corona virus, also known as Covid-19 spread all over the world from previous year. Everyone can still have a Christmas celebration, but it’s not the same as it was on the previous years. Our world is now quarantined, preventing everyone from going outside, and is also governed by protocols.
