      The Province of Ilocos Sur once celebrated again Kannawidan Ylocos Festival. “Kannawidan” is a local term used by the Ilocanos which means ‘a traditional practice’.

I have known hardship and I have felt lost and alone. But here I am standing and trying to move forward. I will remember all the lessons in my life because they are making who I am. No I am making who I am.Some people tel
