Ilocos Sur, our province has a lot of riches and stunning cultures and traditions that we Ilocanos must be proud of and give importance. In order to showcase these things, we have important festives just to exhibit and promote products of ours and precious cultures of Ilocanos to attract and invite tourists to come and visit Ilocos. One of these is the Kannawidan Ylocos Festival which is a week-long festive of happiness and fun for local and foreign tourists as more entertaining events are included in the celebration..The province has a rich heritage and unique cultures that need to be preserved for the next generations. However, a lot of these traditions, songs, dances and other Ilocano cultures were not already familiar to the younger generations due to the influence of the television, computer, gadgets and the internet.
Events which includes the members of the Bayanihan Dance Company entertained the Ilocanos with their world class performance of the Beauty of the Philippines through dances, music and sounds. Their graceful movements and excellent rendition of songs and playing the indigenous musical instruments drew attractions from the crowd. These include choir and glee club competition, marching band contest, traditional music ensemble, dance drama, traditional and folk dances, contemporary dance competition and street dancing showdown. These events aimed to encourage young Ilocanos to learn these indigenous songs and dances for sustainability and preservation.This wonderful event aims to create awareness on the preservation of the province’ rich cultural heritage, practices and traditions, and a showcase of the different agriculture and industry products. We, Ilocanos must be all proud of with this because we are having this for tourists to appreciate our rich culture. Moreover, let us all preserve these cultures for next generations and this will serve as our trademark as an Ilocano.
