After five years, we're back on the biggest stage of #IlocosNorte! Deep inside, I'm joyfully touched whenever I host and watch #TanOk as it truly brings out the Ilocano pride in me! Having emceed the 2018 (bicentennial celebration) and 2019 editions, every word speaks about the treasures we uphold and what the world should witness. The performances remind us that each tale portrays how our lives, stories, cultures, beliefs and values matter and are well-connected. No matter where we live - mountains, rivers, shores, farms or even in the urbans - local or overseas, it's all about our way of life carrying the pride, dreams and love for our families, kakailian and the entire province. I would say that this will always be the real spirit of celebrating #TanOkNiIlocano and every #Ilocano is a champion. My great thanks to Sir Randy Abian Leaño, Sir Aian Raquel for sharing the honor of taking part on this year's marvelous show and for the attire concept with Ira Baylon; Sir EJ Deus for the incredible scriptwriting; Ilocos Norte Tourism Office currently led by the Festival Director, Xavier Rafales Ruiz along with his team, I always enjoy working with you all! Also, to my hosting partners, Ma'am Mary Jane "Majang" Pascual-Leano and Mariz Domingo, it has been magnificent to be with such treasured beauties and icons like them. My biggest and special thanks to Governor Matthew Marcos Manotoc and the Provincial Government of Ilocos Norte! Dios ti agngina! Iti maminsan pay ken agnanayon, agbiag ti Ilocos Norte!

At the height of the pandemic in 2020, the first "Panagyaman ken Kararag" (Thanksgiving and Prayer) event was held for the Laoagenos as a reminder of resilience and perseverance throughout the adversities and challenges brought by the global health crisis. This has been a great reason to celebrate and be thankful as have all survived nature’s test that dimmed the world for a moment. As we keep on getting back on our feet, this year’s concept is dedicated to the children of the Laoag City for them to enjoy the yuletide season with our traditional Christmas tree lighting ceremony, lantern and kalesa (horse-drawn carriage) parade. Truly, that night sparked with joy throughout the city as it upyielded the faith of the people and have made Laoag City beam with hope. This celebration may be simple but what will make it grand is our unity as Laoagenos. My great thanks to the City Tourism Office headed by Ms. Angel Alvarez-Lao and show's director, Mr. Rainier Alavrez, for having me to host this meaningful event the second time! ~ #ApplauseNCHeERs #ShineLaoag #BaroALaoag #LaoagCity

The Sunshine City of Laoag celebrates the brightest day of the Pamulinawen Festival with the great comeback of the Na-LAOAG Street Dance Competition! Started on February 2020, the 80 barangays of the city were divided into 14 clusters to compete for the grand championship. Stories of folklore, culture, way of life, beliefs, events, courtship, livelihood and among others were the dances' foundation and theme. As the main festival song of 'Pamulinawen' was played that night, the evening shone brighter with all the glowing lights and luminous smiles of the contingents and dancers. Yours truly and 'Boses Ng Masa' Clyde Panlaque were among the six hosts who brought all the radiance and energy for thousands of spectators. Everyone really missed celebrating the fiesta on face-to-face. We greatly congratulate the winners, the City Government of Laoag and Tourism Office plus the production team under the directorship of Mr. Christian Espiritu. Happy Pamulinawen Festival, my beloved hometown! ~~~ Inabel Attire: Barry's Gowns Video: City Tourism of Laoag Facebook Page #ApplauseNCHeERs
