"Change:It Starts With Me"

Everything starts from small things or an easier one. So change must starts from ourselves first.

Days are passing while we are growing and a lot of things are changing.Change is the solution of our problem. If we want to become better and improve, we must change especially the bad things and our bad attitudes. Change can help us to reach our dreams and goals in life. As a youth I have to change a lot of things, my lifestyle and my attitude. And I hope by doing this I can say that I am a better person I will be happy and contented.

Change is also the solution to all the problems of our country that are facing right now such as corruption, poverty and many more. Our leaders should change their way in governing our country so that our country will become progressive.

Change must starts from us-youth because we are the hope of our country.

Kannawidan is a celebration in which Ilocos Sur and Ilocos Norte were separated as a separate province. And we are celebrating this on January 31 until the 6th day of February. A lot of events were done such as Trade Fair in which the cities of Ilocos Sur displayed their different products and handicrafts.

The celebration started with a mass at 5:30 in the afternoon and followed by a procession with 41 patrons, this number of patrons corresponds to the number of cities in Ilocos Sur. Many people came especially those who came from the different cities of Ilocos Sur. After the procession there was a free dinner at the Plaza Salcedo compliment by the Provincial Government of Ilocos Sur. Every night there was a show and some artists were their guests.

This Kannawidan is really an enjoyable celebration.
