Lesson
Famous Philippine Festivals
1
Let Us Study
Festivals in the Philippines offer people a chance to exhibit their rich
culture and pay homage to the history and patron saints. They are vibrant,
big, and celebrated with a lot of show and presentations. No wonder, each
province has its own Filipino Fiesta that they are very proud of.
It's a known fact that Filipinos take their festivals and fiestas
seriously. No matter what the economic situation is, the show, or in this
matter, the fiesta must go on. Every town usually has their own annual
celebrations devoted to their Patron Saint. It's not an exaggeration then
when someone says there might be a fiesta going on in some village at any
given day.
Due to the Spanish influence on Filipino's Catholic spirituality, most
of these festivals are religious in origin. Others commemorate certain
important events in history of the country. No matter what the original
meaning of the festival was, these days are usually marked with people
garbed in elaborate costumes, overflowing food and drinks, fluvial parades,
processions, competitions, and many more. Here we highlight some of the
most popular Philippine Festivals. Most of these have become tourist
attraction that draws visitors from all over the world.

ATI-ATIHAN FESTIVAL

If you plan to visit Boracay in January, you might as well watch the
locals masquerading as Negritos in colorful costumes, dancing, and
chanting “Hala Bira!” in Aklan for their Ati-Atihan Festival. Ati-Atihan
means “make-believe Atis”. This consists of a tribal dance parade with drum
music, costumes and indigenous accessories.
Similar to Cebu’s Sinulog Festival, this event is celebrated to honor
Santo Niño or the Holy Child Jesus. Ati-Atihan Festival in Kalibo, Aklan is
considered to be one of the best festivals in the Philippines. This religious
festivity is also one of the oldest Philippine celebrations.
Main Highlights of this festival are Parade of Tribes and Floats, Ati-
Atihan Street Dancing, Religious Procession and torch Street Dancing.
People cheer and shout “Hala Bira!” and “Viva Sto. Niño!” to encourage
enthusiasm and continuous dancing for the duration of the festival.

SINULOG FESTIVAL

Head down south to the Queen City and experience this fiesta in the
Philippines that celebrates Cebu’s patron saint— Santo Niño. This Religious
festival held on the third Sunday of January. This is a week-long event that
is done with processions, parties, concerts, colorful and lively street
dancing, irresistible drumbeats and parades.
The word “sinulog” means “like the water current,” and is actually the
name of the step that the dancers perform. Its main highlight is the Fluvial
Procession of the Miraculous Image of the Santo Niño. The petitioners often
yell out “Pit Senior”.

SUBLIAN FESTIVAL

The Sublian festival, a two week-long celebration which culminates

every year on the 23rd of July, is rooted in the Batangueños devotion to the
town’s patron: the Holy Cross in Bauan and Agoncillo, and the Sto. Niño in
Batangas City. This religious devotion translated to a dance from indigenous
to Batangas: the Subli. Subli came from two words “subsub” meaning
bending your body forward or downward and “bali” meaning broken.
Traditionally performed to the accompaniment of drums and chanting, the
Subli praises the Patron in a combination of poetry, movement, and music.
Today, the Sublian festival features not just devotional dance-song
but street dancing indigenous Filipino games, Harana (serenades), the
Lupakan, Awitan at Sayawan: an event which combines the sharing of
Nilupak (local delicacy made of bananas and sweet potato) with folk songs
and dances and even a Malunggayan Fiesta, a day that celebrates the
nutritional benefits of the malunggay (moringa) plant. The Sublian Festival
also coincides with the city’s founding anniversary.

MORIONES FESTIVAL
The Moriones is a lenten
festival held annually on Holy
Week on the island of
Marinduque, Philippines. The
"Moriones" are men and women in
costumes and masks replicating
the garb of biblical Roman
soldiers as interpreted by local
folks. The Moriones or Moryonan
tradition has inspired the creation
of other festivals in the
Philippines where cultural
practices or folk history is turned
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Moriones_soldier.jpg
into street festivals.

The participants use morion masks to depict the Roman soldiers and
Syrian mercenaries within the story of the Passion of the Christ. The mask
was named after the 16th and 17th century Morion helmet. The Moriones
refers to the masked and costumed penitents who march around the town
for seven days searching for Longinus. Morions roam the streets in town
from Holy Monday to Easter Sunday scaring the kids or engaging in antics
or surprises to draw attention. This is a folk-religious festival that re-enacts
the story of Saint Longinus, a Roman centurion who was blind in one eye.
The festival is characterized by colorful Roman costumes, painted masks
and helmets, and brightly colored tunics.

KADAYAWAN FESTIVAL

Kadayawan is a native expression in the Dabawnon tongue. It’s

derived from the word “madayaw” which means good, valuable and
superior. Dabaweños celebrate the annual Kadayawan as a thanksgiving
festival and a tribute to its indigenous people. This is usually held every 3rd
week of August.
The main highlights of the festival are Indak Indak sa Kadalanan,
Street Dancing Kadayawan and Floral Parade Parada sa Dagat.
It was originated from
tribal festivals of the “Lumad”
and Muslim tribes in Davao.
It is used to be called “Apo
DuWaling” to promote Davao’s
famous icons: the highest
peak of the country “Mt. Apo”,
King of fruits “Durian”, and
queen of orchids “Waling-
Waling”. In 1988, the festival
was renamed “Kadayawan sa
Dabaw”.

Let Us Study

Theatre or theater is a collaborative form of performing art that uses

live performers, usually actors or actresses, to present the experience of a
real or imagined event before a live audience in a specific place, often a
stage.
Theater in the Philippines is as varied as the cultural traditions and
the historical influences that shaped it through the centuries. The dramatic
forms that flourished and continue to flourish among the different peoples of
the archipelago include: the indigenous theater, mainly Malay in character,
which is seen in rituals, mimetic dances, and mimetic customs; the plays
with Spanish influence, among which are the komedya, the sinakulo, the
playlets, the sarswela/sarsuela, and the drama; and the theater with Anglo-
American influence, which encompasses bodabil and the plays in English,
and the modern or original plays by Filipinos, which employ
representational and presentational styles drawn from contemporary
modern theater, or revitalize traditional forms from within or outside the
country, the Spanish regime gave rise to and popularized the various types
of secular and religious plays, the former usually staged to celebrate town
fiestas, and the latter, to highlight important Catholic liturgical feasts or
seasons like Christmas, Lent, or Easter.

A. KOMEDYA

Marcha (entrance/exit), Batalla
(choreograph fighting and Magia

theatrical traditions used by Spanish
to spread Christianity. It spread
instantly but was criticized due to lack
of national importance and realism.
The komedya is written in three to five
acts, with “sainetes” or what we call
today as intermission (something that
will break the ice after an act of the

issues and started to be called
the balagtasan.

on the French vaudeville. It was developed because city growers wanted to
uplift their emotional stability from the usual stage acts to a stage
presentation featuring comedy, musical, monologue, skits, impersonators,
