Flickering Lights in Flight: Vigan City, Umay Kayon Agrambak!

 


Flickering Lights in Flight: Vigan City, Umay Kayon Agrambak!

December, the season towards the apex of the year, holds one of the most important events of the year, 'Christmas.' Christmas is an internationally recognized event that commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ. Everyone has their own method of celebrating Christmas, and some have the most distinctive manner of doing it; it is a joyous event that incorporates family reunions and strengthen relationships among relatives. Christmas has a unique meaning for Christians and religious people because it represents our faith in the biblically-based savior of the world. Many people appreciate such joyful events and activities, particularly in the city of Vigan. Vigan is one of the Seven Wonders of the World, located in the northern portion of the Philippines. Vigan city is home to various historical figures and tomes of past activities including the heritages and old houses.

           In the upcoming activities of Vigan City during Christmas season, a lot of arcos and decoration have scattered around Vigan. Various activities will be taken but with extra pre-caution to enjoy the season without getting infected by the ongoing outcry of the Pandemic. Regardless of the impact of the pandemic, the mood of warm Christmas coats the city of Vigan featuring the colorful and vibrant designs scattered around its heritage and its Municipality.

                



        The Celebration of Artes Ita Paskua was successfully executed without the harm of mass producing the spread of the ongoing virus. With the help of Protocol Officers, they have come up with a way to deal within such situation by promoting a competition by the usage of own barangay or home-based. Personally, I love the idea on how efficient it is to prevent mass gatherings in one place allowing the virus to spread rapidly. The judgement and awarding of winners was individually visited by the judges from each barangay’s. It is a bit inconvenient but seeing as how thee pandemic grows, It can help us minimize gatherings in one spot. In Addition, a lot children’s creativity we’re tested with the use of Christmas Card Making that took place by giving them sufficient materials to work with. Many more activities we’re also made including essay writings and street painting.

                Many joyous remarks we’re made and many people enjoyed the shows. Alongside the


colorful lights that surrounded the whole stage of Vigan City, the infamous Dancing fountain also made its wonderful performance with its drone showdown during the celebration of Chinese New Year. And the skies engulfed by loud but colorful fireworks and as my saying “The flickers of Lights, as engulfs above; shine down to cast upon Shadows”

                As more Christmas will come, the city of Vigan will be looking forward to more activities and lore in the future. The Christmas event this year has come to its settlement and full-filled the heart of tourists and those who reside in Vigan City. As The light flickers; Vigan City, Umay Kayon Agrambak!
