Celebrating Christmas Amidst Covid-19 at Vigan City.

 



Celebrating Christmas Amidst Covid-19 at Vigan City.

Christmas is a joyous occasion for everyone, young and adult alike. We celebrate the festivities oftentimes with our loved ones. It is the time of the year that we get the chance to be with them and just the thought of it makes us excited. We commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ by attending Misa De Gallo that starts on the 16th of December.



St. Paul Cathedral is always placed with church goers, but during this time of pandemic we have to observe physical distancing inside the church as well as outside to avoid the spread of COVID-19 virus. Celebrating Christmas in Vigan during this time of pandemic is far different from how we used to. Christmas parties at public places is prohibited, we used to exchange gifts with our families, friends, and classmates but now during this time of COVID-19, we are not allowed to do so. Gatherings are strictly prohibited. The good thing is even with the pandemic, Christmas decors, lights and tree can be seen around Vigan. Plaza Burgos and Salcedo are filled with Christmas lights and decorations.

It doesn’t matter how we celebrate Christmas, what matters is that we have Jesus in our hearts and we bear in mind the essence of Christmas in our daily lives.

  Unity towards ending pandemic As we face this pandemic cause by COVID-19, we Filipinos are greatly affected by it. People are suffering from this disease and some even died. Some people lost their jobs and resources. Some lost their homes, because they can no longer pay for their rents. A lot of us right now is experiencing poverty, hunger, and suffering. In order to overcome this pandemic, we need to unite and find ways to end this. We should help each other in any way we can, to ease each other’s burden. We must follow the rules and protocols, to prevent the spread of COVID-19 disease. I am looking forward for our country to be normal.

  Fascinating Sai If there are words that best describe the writer of this introduction, it is that he is loving and dauntless. I am not really good at interacting, I am a shy type person and I prefer to stay at home rather than go out with others. I think it is because I am brought out this way. i love playing games, for me, this is my stress reliever. Staying at home makes me feel very comfortable, because I have my family that loves me and supports me.   While I am still young, I will do my best, I will face any challenges and obstacles. Failure won’t stop me for doing so. I feel very motivated because I have my family .
