        One of the most anticipated events in February-- the "Intayon Ilocos Sur Festival” held in Vigan City. It is a celebration that unites all municipalities and cities of Ilocos Sur. Showcasing their own products, culture, and traditions while boosting tourism and local economy. The festival also offers various activities like trade fairs, concerts, cosplay, bingo night, pageants, and battle of the bands, making it exciting not only for visitors but also for locals.

 
       On February 1, the festival officially kicked off with the Ilocos Sur Trade and Food Fair at the Govantes Dike and Boardwalk. There were 376 exhibitors and LGU booths presenting their “One Town, One Product” (OTOP). Municipalities and cities proudly displayed their best local crafts/ delicacies, making the trade fair one of the main highlights of the celebration. It really showed how rich and creative the province is.

 
       On February 2, it started with an Eucharistic Celebration and the Los Patrones Procession. After that, the Grand Parade filled the streets of Vigan City with creative floats, and representatives from different communities. The parade was fun and full of energy, showing the unity and pride of each municipality.

        The festival continued at the Quirino Stadium for the Grand Opening Ceremony, where many people gathered. There was a drone and fireworks show, and one of the main highlights is the live performances by Kai Montinola and Kyle Echarri. Governor Jerry Singson also formally opened the event and shocked everyone by the surprise announced class suspension and government work the next day. These were just some of the many activities prepared for the festival, making the whole celebration even more exciting for everyone.

The Pieces That Shape Me: Formed by Hobbies, Pages, Peace, and Empathy

Image
             M y name is Athena Rane I. Reburon, and I'm currently in Grade 10 under the Special Science Program in Ilocos Sur National High School. I'm 15 years old and I live with my parents and my older sister, whom I’m very thankful for. I enjoy exploring and learning new things, especially those that spark my creativity and challenge my knowledge. Being part of this program motivates me to do my best while trying to balance my academics with the hobbies I love.            B ooks—others might find them boring, but for me, they are one of the things I truly love. Fantasy and mystery thrillers are my favorite genres, because they allow me to dive into different worlds and experience exciting, unpredictable adventures.

Together for a Greener Community (1st Quarter Thematic Project)

Image
  H ere, I'm helping clean our barangay by sweeping to collect trash and by taking out weeds for a safer, cleaner, and greener environment. I n this picture, me and our club are working together to clean our school. It shows that teamwork makes a bigger impact in keeping our community clean and environment-friendly. T his 3rd  photo shows how we recycle our trash at home and turn it into something useful, like a pot we use to plant vegetables. I n this 4th photo, me and my family segregate our garbage. Since the garbage collector doesn’t reach our house, we collect it ourselves and travel to properly dispose it in a designated area. By starting in our home and working together, we can create a greener, cleaner, and better environment for everyone. We can achieve a clean and green community as long as we stay united and committed in taking care of our surroundings. . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ˖ . ݁༉‧₊˚.°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･· · ─ ·𖥸· ─ · · ₊˚.°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*: . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ⊹ . ...

1st Quarter: Learning Through Lessons and Problems

Image
            T his quarter was full of ups and downs. I learned a lot — not just from academic lessons, but also through personal experiences that helped me become better at handling challenges.           I n ICT, I discovered so much about the history of something we really love and use every day — the internet. It was really interesting to learn how it all started, from the launch of Sputnik and how it was first intended for military use, to how it eventually became accessible to almost everyone around the world. Through each group reporting, I learned about the key people who contributed to its development made me realize how much work and innovation went into creating something we always take for granted.            W e also learned about websites, including web addresses, HTTP, and ccTLDs (country code top-level domains), which help locate websites. I now understand what t...
