Remembering Courage

 "Araw ng Kagitingan," or the Day of Valor, is a special day in the Philippines. It's a day to remember how brave Filipino soldiers were during World War II. We commemorate this day to honor their courage and sacrifices.

Back during World War II, the Philippines was invaded by Japan. Filipino soldiers fought alongside American forces to defend our country. Even though they were outnumbered and facing tough challenges, they didn't give up. They fought hard to protect our freedom.


One of the most famous battles was the Battle of Bataan. Filipino soldiers fought bravely for months, even though they lacked supplies and help. Eventually, they had to surrender, but their bravery is remembered to this day.


The Day of Valor is a time for us to think about the sacrifices made by these soldiers. Many of them suffered a lot during the war, and some even lost their lives. We say thank you to all Filipino veterans for what they did for our country.


As we celebrate Araw ng Kagitingan every year, we remember the past and honor those who fought for our freedom. It's also a reminder for us to be brave and strong, just like those soldiers were. Their courage inspires us to stand up for what's right and to cherish the peace and freedom we have today.

Fiesta na sa Vigan

  Vigan's fiesta is something else     it's a party that brings together music, rides, and a whole lot of fun. I got to catch the marching band competition, and let me tell you, it was a real spectacle. A marching band is like a group of people playing instruments while walking together, making awesome tunes that get everyone in the groove. The beats and melodies filled the air, making the streets alive with energy. It was cool to see the musicians moving in sync, adding a lively vibe to the whole fiesta scene.  After enjoying the music, I headed to the carnival for some good old-fashioned fun. I tried out different rides, like the Viking swing, which was a wild ride back and forth. Then there was the Horror Train a bit scary but thrilling as it twisted and turned in the dark. The Scramble was another favorite, spinning me around like crazy. And there were plenty more rides to explore, each bringing its own kind of excitement. The lights, the sounds the carnival had ...
