Promote And Preserve The Culture

            Fifteen years ago, a noble idea developed in the minds of a group of civic spirited Ilocanos who wanted to promote  cultural awareness and preserve the rich historical and cultural heritage of Ilocos Norte. They wanted to rekindle in the youth and future generations the pride of their heritage. The magnificent idea developed and is now a living reality, KANNAWIDAN, the Iloko Foundation of Arts and Culture.

            Kannawidan is a variant of the Ilocano word "tawid" meaning heritage or inheritance. Kannawidan has its beginnings in 1992 when Guia Monroy Valenciano, then vice-president of PCI Bank, began sounding out to friends about establishing a museum. It is  a yearly celebration that means to make mindfulness on the conservation of the area' rich social legacy, practices and conventions, and a grandstand of the diverse horticulture and industry results of the province.      

The first challenge they must partake in putting up or celebrating the festival in the midst of this pandemic or this COVID19 is they must synchronize what or how to start the festival without violating the health protocols and not to spread the virus in that particular area.  Since I’ve been there one time these last month, what they did to maintain the health protocols is they check the temperature and show your QR code to the scanner then alcohol.

There are lot of festivals that we waited for a one year but because of this pandemic all things  and events that we thought it was really fun and interesting but happy, enjoyable and innovative events became the opposite of it. We are all adjusting this pandemic from what normal things we do last years to a new normal. Let’s help each other to fight this pandemic.
