Viva Vigan, Keep up the fun🐎

In late January, the Vigan celebrates City Fiesta and Longganisa Festival is included in the festive program. It's normally celebrated around January 22nd to January 25th—the dates vary from year to year. During the festival, every tourist has a chance to try authentic longganisa from Vigan. These events have been going on for a long time, notably the annual tradition. We host street dancing festivals, cooking shows/festivals, carnival, beauty contests, fun runs, and other events to celebrate the Vigan City Fiesta Celebration, and we have a lot of fun doing it. However, in our current condition, the major problem has spread around the world, and we are dealing with a disease virus. It's tough for us to celebrate the fiesta because of this disease, especially when we can't get together or the areas are packed, and the number of Covid-19 cases is on the rise again this year. So, in the New Normal, I'm sure we'll have a difficult time celebrating the Vigan City Fiesta.

Since we are used to celebrate the Vigan City Fiesta that people watch together and celebrate it by watching street dancing and so on people will really be sad. So now, if we celebrate it into New Normal it will not be the same as before. It will reduce the number of events that take place and reduce the number of people who will interact with it. We will have challenges to do this, just like innovating in celebrating the fiesta, preparing about it through virtual and so on. But we can’t stop the Ilocano’s especially the Bigueños from celebrating fiesta dahl we can do it virtually.

The new normal has significantly changed Filipinos' daily lives. If we used to enjoy going out and seeing our relatives, we can no longer do so. Because of the epidemic, we can no longer attend parties or other gatherings, whereas before the pandemic, we used to celebrate fiestas, and in our daily life, we now need to wear masks whenever we go out or are in a busy place. That's how our lives were affected by the new normal. We have various possibilities to make or celebrate the Fiesta, as they say, if we want there is a way and if we don't there is a reason. Just like the Kannawidan Pageants, we can do this by performing by the candidates who are themselves and the audience can watch through live on social media. It may not be the same as before but it will still be fun for the Bigueños and for the Ilocano’s.
