Ilocano Culture—unique,
irreplaceable, well known, exceptional. That is what Ilocos Sur has. That is
what young generation should be proud of.
At the present time, children of
today are not that so familiar to Ilocano culture. This is due to the modern
dances they mostly watch. Traditional ones are already left behind. But as they
say, every problem has its own solution. This is why the Kannawidan Festival of
Ilocos Sur is being celebrated annually. This festivity awakens the younger
generation to the traditional dances. In addition to that, the OTOP’s or “One
Town, One Product” of each municipalities were also introduced. It is one of
the best highlights of the said celebration. Tourists from different countries
visit Ilocos Sur for this event. Furthermore, Excellency awards were awarded to
those who brought fame and excellence in name of the province.
Kannawidan Ylocos festival is a
way of introducing our culture and traditions. I wish and I hope that this will
continue for years or centuries.
