Spectral Phantasm

The foundation day of Ilocos Sur National High School was postponed due to the 2019-nCoV threats and was celebrated on another day. Nevertheless, it was successful day to celebrate our foundation day even on the other day of the month. Parade was done around the city of Vigan headed by the the school employees, and the royal court. After the parade, we showcased our dancing talents through calisthenics and we enjoyed so much and after that we ate as a class and had a salu salo inside the classroom.
