Thematic

My experience doing community based research with my group mates was stressful mixed with fun. It's stressful because we don't know what we're going to do in encoding, creating a homepage, design, and we're always fighting because we don't all understand each

other in doing our research and it's also tiring because we have a lot of encoding that we've gathered from those who have knowledge of what we're going to represent about the Basi wine of San Ildefonso Ilocos Sur.

There is a little bit of fun because we have gathered a lot of knowledge about Basi, how to do it step by step and whether it is good for our health. Based on what we gathered, we went to barangay gongogong where there are many people who know about Basi. We found a kind grandmother selling goods on the side of the road. It's a good thing that she agreed to our interview because we talked well so that she agreed. We

learned a lot from what she said, especially about making basi and whether it is good for our health and what she said is that it is difficult to make basi because you have to do a lot to make delicious and sweet wine, one of the most suitable for basi is the burnay, it is said that it is difficult to get the burnays and

they put it in a big jar. It is said that drinking basi is not bad because it can also help those with heart disease, but it is said that it cannot be taken every day because we can get serious diseases. We are very grateful to grandma who agreed to reveal the process of making basi because of that we learned a lot about Basi.
