Blog Your Blessings Sunday: Burnay


"Burnay" or Jar


Burnay Making


Andrea witnessed the process of Burnay making


Burnay making in Vigan was introduced by Chinese immigrants. Burnay maybe used for storing drinking water, salt, basi wine, tagapulot (brown sugar), and Ilocano's favorite bagoong.

The educational tour of Andrea's school at the Heritage City of Vigan gave us the opportunity to have a deeper appreciation of these jars. They are no longer just jars, instead, it signifies skills and hard work.

This was a wonderful opportunity! It's lovely when students expand everyone's knowledge and understanding. Sometimes I think parents' helping in the classroom is more of a service to the parents than to the kids and just as important. Happy Blog Your Blessings Sunday.
