The Vigan City Fiesta is held in honour of St. Paul the Apostle, the city's patron saint, on 25 January each year. Locals and tourists gather to experience and see the street dancing, carnivals, food fairs, and arts and crafts, adding to the attraction of this UNESCO World Heritage City. For many of us, this time of year is a time for finding joy in the planning and celebrating of various festivals in our city. But because of the Covid-19 outbreak that started two years ago, plans for celebrations were cancelled, which I think that it was a good decision, because it is better to make sure we are safe from the virus than risking our health for a festival.
After calling the pandemic “The New Normal” we just all acted that we’re back to normal but still aware that the Covid-19 is still around. The Vigan City Fiesta is a big risk, covid cases is still increasing in our town and that’s enough reason to say that implementing the fiesta is dangerous.
I checked some of the articles and read that this year’s Vigan City Fiesta may continue but with very strict protocols which I agree and disagree with this decision. I agree because atleast there is some safe protocols to decrease the risk of the virus from spreading, and also, I disagree because there’s still the possibility that thecovid cases will increase in our town because of the celebration of our fiesta.
We’re gonna experience a lot of struggles especially to our fellow townspeople because they might not follow the safety protocols which can lead to bigger issues in our town.Implementing the fiesta is a challenge and a risk but hoping that it will be successful and the people will be safe.
I completely agree, some people are sometimes ignorant and don't follow regulation which leads to increase the number of COVID patients. I think that it's very important to celebrate these festival but we also have to consider and obey the rules so that all of us can enjoy.
ReplyDeleteSo true, celebrating in crowd during pandemic is very risky. We must follow the protocols do that everything will be okay soon.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I hope everyone follows the health protocols so that everything will go back to normal soon.
ReplyDeleteI definitely have to agree with you. As long as we strictly follow the protocols, there's no doubt we'll be free from this pandemic in no time.
