The CAT Parade

January 25, 2011, the day that I will surely never forget. The day that the CAT I-Unit of Ilocos Sur National High School showed their ability and obviously the best among all the groups of CATs that attended the said parade. And I am proud to say that I was a part of it.

Wearing the fatigue with the name cloth sewed on it, the beret on our head, the neckerchief around our neck and the white gloves on our palms was a perfect outfit but it acquires a great responsibility. Marching around the streets of Vigan, executing the "liko sa kaliwa or kanan" and the hand salute rendered to the Government Officials of Vigan led by Mayor Eva Medina made the event so extravagant. It was a great honor everytime the people we pass by tells us that we are like true militaries and we are the best. Smiles want to escape from our face but we controlled ourselves. We must act like real CATs that time and a hundred percent discipline is required.

The CAT I-Unit, the best group that I ever joined. It helped me a lot in any aspect of my life. And the Longganisa Festival was an opportunity that showed the whole Vigan how Mr. Bernardo Rabaca trained us. :)
