      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’. This occasion had opened the eyes of the Ilocanos to the culture and traditions their ancestors in the past had brought them.

But I am thankful because that year taught me many lessons. I can say that that year was life changing. I have endured pain and loss.  I have broken. 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 ...
