KANNAWIDAN.

               On the 7^th of Kannawidan Festival let's once again bring back the past, culture and traditions.  This celebration started last January 29, 2014 and ended on February 03, 2014, a one- week long festive of happiness.This is not only for us to reminisce the past but it unites Biguenos. 

               We should be proud of for this is the only city that is preserved. I’m glad to see that even children participated and danced through the ethnic music, it means, our culture is still alive even we are here in we so called “modern world”. They are not shy to show where they came from. They are not shy to wear “bahag” that symbolizes our very own culture. 

               OTOP of different municipalities were displayed, by these we can see how creative they are to transform raw materials to a useful one. A simple food to a unique one like ginger tea, squash noodles and many more, which is not common, I bet they are all delicious.  Biguenos are really talented. 

                 Kannawidan Ylocos Festival aims to create awareness  that we are rich in cultural heritage, practices and traditions that attracts tourist. We should never forget the past, for they bring us to fame. We should treasure and preserve those for the next generations to witness how rich Ilocos Sur in culture, traditions and practices.
