Fiesta Amidst Covid-19 Pandemic

It's been 11 months when Covid-19 pandemic struck not only the Philippines but all around the world. Many lives lost including jobs, tourism and economy. As day goes by number of Covid-19 patients increases were put into lockdown. Tourism is one biggest factor why Ilocos Sur is progressive. We owned not just beautiful landmarks but also the most beautiful beaches and the most hospitable Ilokanos that's why lot of tourist kept on coming back to the province. When Covid-19 struck the country the tourism rate decrease and some establishments also declare bankruptcy due to Covid-19 crisis.

Now, the government of Ilocos Sur is doing their very best to revive the Province economy that's why Vigan Fiesta celebration push through amidst of Covid-19 pandemic. It's aim is to encourage local tourist who are nearby the city of Vigan to visit. The Vigan City Fiesta aims to revive Ilocos Sur's economy by means of local tourist who kept on patronising our products. It is also a way to introduce Ilocos products not only to them but also to the entire Philippines.

It is not that easy to launch a fiesta in the midst of this pandemic, but the government of Ilocos Sur push through with the celebration following the preventive protocols given by the National Government. They remind all the people who will visit to wear face mask and face shield and observe social distancing. One of my personal favourite during Kannawidan festival is the "Saniata ti Ylocos" but I was so happy that Saniata still push through but through libe in social media. 

Amidst this pandemic we can see how the governor of Ilocos wanted the best for us not just for the economy but for the enjoyment of every Ilocosurians. We can see his effort and we should reciprocate it by means of supporting him. Let's go hand in hand in the midst of this pandemic.
