"Visit The Beauty of San Ildefonso"

 San Ildefonso, Ilocos Sur, is known for its unique vegetable ice cream, traditional products like basi (sugarcane wine) and cane vinegar, and a history that includes a name change to honor a Spanish King. The town's name was changed from "Bulak" to "San Ildefonso" in 1809 by a Filipino priest, Father Juan dela Rosa, who was also its first Filipino priest. 


The San Ildefonso Church known as San Ildefonso de Toledo Parish Church in San Ildefonso, Ilocos Sur, is a testament to resilience and faith, with a modern facade built atop the remnants of an older structure that has stood since 1821. Its compelling story is one of a vision that was partially realized, now a blend of history and contemporary rebuilding, where the weathered side walls of the original church are still visible. This creates a unique and poignant experience for visitors who can witness firsthand the passage of time and the town's commitment to preserving its heritage, even as the church's original form is no longer fully intact. 


And the airplane that came from the president of Indonesia, now had been abandoned, was supposed to be a café. The Mayor announced publicly in the news reports that they kept it in front of the San Ildefonso Municipality because it is unique and attracts people out of curiosity. The supposedly "café" is now just an ordinary plane that has been abandoned for decades.


Experience the authentic, time-honored taste of the Ilocos region with Basi from San Ildefonso, Ilocos Sur—a beverage that is more than just a drink; it's a vibrant piece of Filipino history and a source of profound cultural pride.

Discover the charm of San Ildefonso, Ilocos Sur, where cultural heritage meets natural beauty. Explore historical sites that whisper tales of the past, and find adventure in San Ildefonso's unique structures, and delicious products.

"Plant that Grows"

Image
          I see myself as a plant. Different plant, like an oak tree, because t represents strength and stability. Daisy because it represents peacefulness and positive vibes. I picked plant because it grows, and as it grows, it become more strong.           My name is Zoe Jane Pardo. Growing up, I've always been an achiever. Which means, I went through rough times during my childhood. But with all the experiences, I managed to gain strength and stability. Just like an oak tree. When a strong wind hits an oak tree, it will remain standing on its ground because of the strength that it developed from the other disaster that passed.           I also see myself as a daisy because I will forever choose peacefulness and positive vibes over negativity. Although there comes a time that I show my frustration, I will never choose violence.           It requires challenges to be as strong and stable...

First Quarter Reflection

 During the first quarter, I have learned not only academic lessons but also important life skills. I discovered new concepts in subjects like Math, Science, and English. I also realized the value of teamwork, especially during group activities and projects, and how important it is to communicate well with others. One of the biggest challenges I faced was adjusting to the workload and balancing my school responsibilities with other activities.

I made a habit of reviewing lessons in advance and asking questions when I didn’t understand something. I also sought help from classmates and teachers when needed, and that really helped me improve. I learned that it’s okay to ask for sup...
