ILOCANOS!

Ilocos Sur have been one of the many places that really attracts people. The irresistable beauty of the place will just leave people in awe. It has always been a place that a lot of tourists around the world visited, and sometimes they come back to memorize its glory. The foods are no joke when it comes to Ilocos.

We Ilocanos are celebrating this every year for abou a week or two. This year, it started in the 28th of January and it lasted until the 9th of February. However this event usually formally starts at the 2nd of February, the day where Ilocos Sur and Ilocos Norte got seperated. This big celebration is called as the Kannawidan Festival. Ilocos Norte also has a similar event just like this but calls it Pamulinawen Festival.

There are a lot of activities that are being held at this celebration. There's traditional tribal rituals, choir and glee competitions, contemporary dance competition, dance drama, marching band contest, traditional and folk dances, traditional music ensemble and street dancing showdown. These aren't the only activities that are happening every year, there are a lot more activities and it's better if you see it yourself! It just fascinates me, how people are enjoying every moment that happens!
