Kannawidan Ylocos Festival 2015


Ilocos Sur is one of the provinces having the most festivities held and celebrated. One of these is the Kannawidan Ylocos Festival, a week-long festival showcasing the province’s culture and tradition. It was first initiated by the Former Governor and now the Vice Governor DV Savellano. On it’s 8th Year, Gov. Ryan Luis Singson had extended the said festival for almost a month to give chance for the towns and it’s two cities to showcase their very own products and more. Now that the festival is longer, that gives way for more activities than the previous years. But what could these be?


Highlighting the 8th Kannawidan are Spiritual Thanksgiving activities such as the Concelebrated Mass at the St. Paul Metropolitan Cathedral and the scenic procession of all Municipal Patrons around Vigan. Kinnammet, the traditional boodle fight and the magnificent dancing fountain together with the fireworks displays were first witnessed during the opening of the festival. Other fun activities include the talent search called Siglat Ylocandia, the merriment of the DepEd Day, a fashion show giving prominence to old clothing styles/ fashion statement, the Kapuso Night, Bakbakan, recognition of the Gawad Titong Singson awardees and the Saniata ti Ubbing. Competitions will also be conducted such as the Sinniriban, Poem Writing Contest, Dance Craze, Siglat Eskwela Awards, OPAG and Livestock Pinaka Contest, Longganisa Eating Contest, Saniata and many others.

This year’s Kannawidan sure has loads of reasons why you need to go and have fun while learning. Let us not forget that this festival is not just about having fun but also learning why this is celebrated. What’s left for us Ilocanos is to preserve our culture and tradition, a challenge that we shouldn’t fail for the next generations to come. It’s SURE fun in ILOCOS SUR.

Wika ng Pagkakaisa

           Taun-taon, ang buong Pilipinas ay nagdidiwang tuwing Buwan ng Agosto. Bakit? Dahil ang buwan lang naman na ito ay kung kailan isinilang ang ating "Ama ng Wikang Pambansa" na si Manuel Luiz Quezon. Siya ay tinaguriang "Ama ng Wikang Pambansa" dahil siya ang nagsulong na gumamit na lang ng isang wika ang ating bansa nang sa gayon ay mapadali ang pagkakaintindihan ng bawat mamamayang Pilipino. Ang wikang kaniyang tinutukoy ay ang natatangi nating Wikang Pambansa, ang Wikang Filipino. Ito ang dahilan kung bakit ang buwan ng Agosto ang Buwan ng Wika ng Pilipinas.         Simula pa ng magsimula ang selebrasyon ng Buwan ng Wika, tuwing taon ay may iba't ibang tema na siyang tumutulong upang mabigyan, maisulong at mapatingkad ang kahulugan kung bakit kailangan pang ipagdiwang ang Buwan ng Wika. Ang tema ng Buwan ng Wika para sa taong ito ay "Wika ng Pagkakaisa". Para sa akin, nais ipabatid ng pariralang ito na ang Wikang Fili...

My Reflection for the Second Quarter

Image
IMPROVING MYSELF As months go by, encountering problems and challenges weren't new to me anymore. I mean, I was not that surprised like, "Oh no! How terrible my life is. Why do I need to suffer this much. Wasn't it enough to prove that I am capable of addressing this problems and challenges that are trying to push me down?". Instead, I feel grateful. Why? New problems and challenges mean new lessons to learn. And I can proudly and truly say that I learned this inside a classroom and a chair at a corner.  If First Quarter was a challenge for me, this Second Quarter was a thousand times much better. This is because I was capable of having more and more friends that make me even more confident than the last time I was typing my reflection from the past quarter. I can say that this change improved me so much. Changes that of course, has a big contribution for my studies this quarter - more stories to read, more mathematical problems to solve, more discoveries to...

A extensive research work on the following: 1. One Non-Windows Operating System 2. One CPU Scheduling Algorithm CPU Scheduling Algorithm First Come First Serve (FCFS) In the "First come first serve" scheduling algorithm, as the name suggests, the process which arrives first, gets executed first, or we can say that the process which requests the CPU first, gets the CPU allocated first. First Come First Serve, is just like FIFO(First in First out) Queue data structure, where the data element which is added to the queue first, is the one who leaves the queue first. This is used in Batch Systems. It's easy to understand and implement programmatically, using a Queue data structure, where a new process enters through the tail of the queue, and the scheduler selects process from the head of the queue. A perfect real life example of FCFS scheduling is buying tickets at ticket counter. Process that requests the CPU FIRST is allocated the CPU FIRST. Also ...
