Ilocos Sur is a beautiful province located in the northern part of Luzon. It is a province rich in culture that represents the ancient Spanish and Filipino heritage. To show and share their treasures to the whole world, the locals conceived a festival that highlights these cultural traditions and they called it the “Kannadiwan Festival” It is the Ilocanos' way of giving thanks to the Almighty not only for the bountiful blessings but also for the rich heritage of the city, including the close family ties among the Ilocanos. This event showcases the deep-rooted religiosity of the townsfolk.
With the appearance of covid, officials are having trouble conducting the festival. Covid gave a lot of these difficult challenges such as the spread of the virus through the spectators/crowd. It would mean disasster if there was a sudden rise in the amount of people who got infected. So in order for the festival to be conducted officials must be strict about social distancing and the use of protective equipments to ensure that every spectator is safe.
Culture is rather important to people it is defines our community gave us a traditions where it can only be found within the community But the health of the people is more important. In order to preserve our culture we must first save ourselves, protect our selves means protecting our culture. Preserving our culture means preserving our humanity.
