       According to Damaso King, a well- known Vigan historian, the Viva Vigan Binatbatan Festival of the Arts, which runs from the last week of April to the first week of May, was originally the Feast of the Natives, which began on May 3, 1883. In 1882, an outbreak killed 934 people in a month, sparking the festival. The outbreak began on November 12 and terminated on December 15.

The number of deaths dropped as the novena progressed, and the pandemic came to an end on the last day.

       In this quarter I learned about my community because of our lesson, community based research. I've learned something about my community that I've never known before. I thought that living in this community is enough to know everything. But I was wrong... Doing a research about the community you are in is quite hard. I find it hard even if I was born and raised here in my community.       I am now getting comfortable in blogging. I am slowly giving my opinions to those topics. At first I was afraid that people may judge my insights to those topics but I realize people have different insights and opinions. Maybe reading my blog gives you knowledge.

      There is a dangerous disease that is spreading all around the world, the coronavirus or Covid-19. It is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome. According to the World Health Organization, vaccines save millions of lives each year.      Vaccines work by training and preparing the body’s natural defenses – the immune system – to recognize and fight off the viruses and bacteria they target. After vaccination, if the body is later exposed to those disease-causing germs, the body is immediately ready to destroy them, preventing illness.
