Happy Fiesta, Vigan!

-

 



As a graduated Paulinian from St. Paul College of Ilocos Sur, I have stock knowledge on the backstory of this Apostle, he was once named “Saul”, a non-believer, an atheist that hated the beliefs of Christianity, one day while riding on a horse in the desert, he was blinded by great light, being stunned he fell from the horse and he could hardly see, and a voice influenced him, that voice was believed to be Lord Jesus, after talking with the voice, Saul started spreading the word of god and changed his name into the Saint we know now, “Paul”.

 

I recently saw on Facebook that the Longganisa Festival that was supposedly going to happen on the fiesta of Vigan on the 25th of January was postponed, mainly because of the rising of the cases of the virus in the locality of Vigan, hearing this I was devasted, not only since I’ve been looking forward to this occasion, but also because this is where the whole city of Vigan gets to rejoice, but keep in mind that we do not need parades, dances nor foods to have a happy fiesta, we only need to be present with one another with the safety protocols.

 

The feeling that we once experienced in celebrations and birthday parties and fiestas won’t be the same anymore, well at least not for now but as long as we always follow safety protocols together with our families and friends, we may experience the normal “normal” that we once had.

I’m-perishable Burn

Birds singing melodies, branches crackling and leaves rustling, settling down in the balcony sipping lukewarm white coffee watching the flaming sphere rise, this is my ideal morning to start a great day. Oh, my bad! I haven’t introduced myself yet, the name’s Ryan Matthew Reyes Vera Cruz, you may call me Matt or Ram, I am currently 15 years old, I am my hobbies are playing video games with my friends and the boys and listening to music, my favorite color is orange, because it reminds me of the bright burning passion of hope that the sun brings, and it inspires me to ignite as bright.  We just scratched the surface, there is much more to learn about me! I am not going to lie, but I am awful at socializing with random people, that’s why I tend to get nervous and forget what I am saying, I love to learn and study topics about science and computers, I find them very interesting! I am not really that good in arithmetic equations and speaking in tagalog, but I will always try to do my ...

What's A Bird Without Its Wings?

What's a bird without its wings? could it fly like the others? will it be able to keep up with its flock-mates? Is it able to soar as high, or even dream of reaching new heights? A simple yet resounding answer for these grave questions are a no. A bird stripped from its wings is a prisoner of its own, restricted from its flight, further derogating the value of its existence A wingless bird is very comparable to that of a person who is forcefully restrained from freedom, they can hardly fight for their natural rights and even struggle in living a normal life. Filipinos under the colony of several abusive countries were exactly on this situation. Living as a Filipino in these timelines were immensely abused, they were slaves, they were treated like dogs, they were oppressed by the grueling dictators, their potentials and rights were suppressed by the race-bias authorities, their voice were never heard because the Filipinos weren't even the main decision makers of their own territ...
