The Ylocos Region is very rich in
extraordinary historical treasures, including the literary works, traditions,
ethnic music, food, delicacies, handmade products and the culture of both
modern and ancestor Ilocanos. The Literary work Biag ni Lam-ang by Pedro
Bukaneg was very popular all over the Philippines and it was an Ilocano work.
On the last week of January to first
week of February, the province of Ilocos Sur celebrates the Kannawidan Festival
that aims to showcase the different products of every town in Ilocos Sur and
also shows the old beliefs and traditions of Ilocanos. During the Kannawidan
Festival, lots of activities were made in the Quirino Stadium. This includes
different competitions about the culture of Ilocos Sur such as quiz bee,
writing daniw, tribal dance, painting and many more.
The occasion is very important to
every Ilocano because it reminds us the work of our ancestors and as respect to
them and to our selves, because we are Ilocanos too.
