KANNAWIDAN FESTIVAL

In preparation for the Kannawidan Festival on the last week of January 2011, the Ilocos Sur Governor commissioned a song to be produced, recorded and distributed to Ilocos Sur. The title of the song is Kannawidan, which comes from the Ilokano root word “tawid,” meaning tradition or culture.The Kannawidan Ylocos festival is held every Jan 27-Feb 3 in Vigan, Ilocos Sur to celebrate the declaration of Ilocos Sur as a province, and aims to promote and preserve its culture and traditions.The festival showcases the old customs, traditions and culture of Ilocanos especially Banguinians. This is what Kannawidan would refer to. It aims to preserve and sustain the old traditions, attractive products and practices of the Ilocanos. It also aims to promote the local tourism industry.

True Essence of Christmas

Christmas is a time for giving, a time for sharing your rewards with those are underprivileged and unfortunate, a time for reflection at your inner self. Whilst we can enjoy and revel in the festive spirit, we should spare a thought, a prayer and maybe a donation for the unfortunate ones - the poor who don't know where their next meal will be coming from .It is a time of ornaments, red and green decorations, silver bells, holly, mistletoe and colored lights.The essence of Christmas is therefore to accept Christ, the celebrant into your life and invite him to dine with you for the rest of your life. The good news is that there is a greater Christmas in heaven, a Christmas whose celebration do not end in a day. Only the redeemed can participate in this everlasting Christmas.

My teacher My hero

Too often, dedicated teachers end up spending hundreds of dollars of their own money on classroom materials, and it's still not enough.Teachers get the support they need. Parents and communities are engaged in supporting classrooms and funding the things they care about. And everyone is united in helping children learn, grow, and perform at their best.
Teacher is the best......

Filipinovation the way forward

Innovation has been the buzz in Philippine universities since early 2000′s.
Was the off-shoot of the Ayala IT Park. innovation is new to these universities as it differs from the purely intellectual scientific pursuit. Innovation is market-driven, sensitive to the needs of consumers.
Anyway, innovation happens regardless of words. I just hope there is more Filipinnovation happening than the rate in which words are flying.
