My family took a vacation to Ilocos in northern Luzon last year. Over four days and nights, they visited several famous sites in Ilocos Sur like Vigan, the Baluarte Open Zoo and Hidden Garden. They then traveled to Ilocos Norte, seeing places such as the Sinking Bell Tower and Marcos Museum in Laoag. Their final stop was Bangui Windmills in Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte, which was a highlight of the trip.

My Vacation in Ilocos

Last year, We went on a road trip vacation to Ilocos. Me and my family have a
vacation twice a year so that I want to share to all of you my experience. We
drove all the way from Isabela to Pangsinan to rest because my tita live there,
after that we went to Ilocos Sur wherein the family of my father live there. We
rest all the night there.

In the morning, our mission was to see the famous places in Ilocos Sur and
Ilocos Norte. We arrived in Vigan early in the morning. We travel the Vigan. We
went to the Baluarte Open Zoo, Hidden Garden, Padre Burgos Museum, Bantay
Church and many others. We also saw Vigan’s handloom weaving and pottery
making industries. We were very lucky to have a free tour guide. I was so happy
that I see the beautiful places in Vigan that I only see in the pictures.

In the afternoon, we went on our way to our next destination, which was
Laoag. This was an hour and a half drive from Vigan. We arrived at night so that
we planned to go in my father’s friend to eat and rest there all night.

In the morning, weare very excited to travel the beautiful places in Laoag
Ilocos Norte. We tour the Sinking Bell Tower, Museo Ilocos Norte, Marcos
Museum and Mausoleum, St. Williams Church, Malacanang of the North and
many others. We was very happy and blessed to see all of that. By the end of the
day, we were beginning to get tired of all the walking and sight seeing. So that we
decided to go in my uncle’s house near in Pagudpud.

The next morning, we were very excited to travel the Pagudpud. I enjoyed
my time most at the Bangui Windmills. It’s really an amazing and awesome sight.
This is very beautiful in personal.

That was four days and four nights of great sight seeing in Ilocos. I believe
that trip wouldn’t have been possible if not for the time freedom in life.
Our Heroes; Frontliners

We see heroes in everyday life. A hero is a real person who, in the face of
danger, combats advertising through feats of ingenuity, audacity, or strength. A
hero is the main fictional character like what we are watching in television who
demonstrates a great courage and save the lives of others. That is the type of
hero are frontliners who are currently helping the Covid-19 situation.

A call for professionalism with a mission is what a frontliner walks. It’s not
just a job, but requires heroic in this pandemic.

Each day brings sobering news of tragedy and heartache as we face with
the worst pandemic in 100 years. In all social medias, television, radio, and
newspaper updates us the increasing number of patients with virus and how it
spread easily. However, behind this catastrophe there are people who are greatly
sacrificing in order to give us hope and enlightening us that there is still a
tomorrow. With their duties they are like offering already their lives, exposing
themselves to the risk of contracting the viral disease. And, as many retreated to
their homes, our frontliners - health care workers, police, military peace
enforcers, researchers, volunteers, scientists, cleaners, cashiers and employees in
grocery stores, delivery men, drivers, and countless others - continue to brave
through checkpoints, traffic, and the lack of public transport, beating the odd to
help people in need.

Wherein, the whole world also lift their thanks for a sacrifice repayed by
gratitude. Their services give us sunniness. And so, with all the challenges, we
need to cooperate. This will be a big help for the frontliners, if you do not add to
number of patients that they need to care for. Not only that, to think for also
because they have their families awaits them in their homes.

The pandemic may be showing weakness of systems we have in our current

society, but it is also showing us what “bayanihan” means for a nation of everyday
heroes. Bringing the best in each and everyone of us is what will get us through
this.
