“BARANGAY FIESTA”

The word "fiesta" brings a smile to the face of almost any Filipino. After all, a
fiesta is a special occasion with friends, families, food, and lots of activities. Each year,
there are numerous fiestas here in the Philippines. Sometimes people are busy for
weeks preparing for them. It is ironic because even those people facing many
problems like financial problems are set aside just to celebrate a one (1) day occasion
like the barangay fiesta. Unlike town fiestas, a barangay fiesta is much more simpler.
Well, it differs on different barangay of course. Because there are many barangays that
have many “sitio” or a barangay extension.

In our barangay (Camangaan, Vigan City), we hold our fiesta every 7 th of May
every year. Each year we hold a basketball game a week before the 6 th of May and
sometimes a mini- Olympics depending on what the council has planned. This year we
held a basketball game for the seniors (15-above) and juniors (14-below). Unfortunately
for me, I was not able to play together with two of my friends because we were lacking
members. I was frustrated because on the previous years that we (our barangay) hold
a basketball game, they were always the ones who wanted to play or should I say to
show off. We just wanted to play and enjoy even if we do not win the game. It is only
held once (1) a year and we wanted to be a part of it. This was the only year that we
were not able to play because of “lacking” of teammates. Aside from the basketball
game, we also held a grand ball. We rented a music band to perform on the night of
May 6, 2017. It was also the time to give the awards to the winners of the tournament
and “consolations” for the losers. On the night of the fiesta (May &, 2017), we held a
bingo game. That was for the people who could not play basketball like the women, the
old and the younger ones so that they can still enjoy the fiesta…

Now the fiesta is over. People went back to their normal lives. Go back to work
and wait next year again for the barangay fiesta. I hope I will be able to play next
year…
