Lesson 1: Philippine Fiestas and Theater Acts (Festival and Theatrical Forms)

[illustration: a hand holding a sprouting plant, icon beside the part title]

What’s New

Festivals and theatrical forms are representations of what we had in the past which have become a part of our present lives. The celebration and performance of these fiestas and theatre acts have become a collaborative art which is a combination of different art forms and styles. Today, we will have a rewind of the origins of these art forms and how they have evolved.

Activity 1.1 Password is the Key!

Directions: Find the two symbols or words written on each character festival then write them inside their respective placards. Copy the placards on your notebook where you will write your answers. You will encounter those words as you go on this adventure.

[illustration: a smiling boy with outstretched arms on a sailboat, with the following printed text: “It’s time now to raise the sail of your boat, because you my comrade will be on a voyage to discover more about the treasures of the Philippine Archipelago. As you land in different places, you need to give the password to the greeter who will give your ticket to your next journey. For each festival character, you need to find two symbols or keywords and write them in their placards.”]

[illustration: three costumed festival characters holding blank placards; labels read MASK, a second label that is unclear, and MADAYAW; a durian fruit lies at the bottom right]

That’s good! You’ve got the magic words for our greeters. To get the password, you will be needing your mathematical ability for you to solve this number puzzle. Find the greeters’ welcome message to you by decoding the numbers in the puzzle.

Activity 1.2 Do the Math!

Direction: Here is a number puzzle which you have to solve. Each answer has a corresponding letter for you to unlock the greeters’ welcome message. You may use another sheet of paper in solving, then write the final message on your activity notebook. Some letters are already provided in the message code.

If,

• H = 7-1
• O = 6 – 4
• F = 9 – 6
• I = 1+3
• N = 2+5
• E = 4×2
• T= 5 x 2,
• S=3×3
• R = 2 – 1

What is the message code?

Message Code:

4 | 10 | 9 | M | 2 | 1 | 8 | 3 | U | 7 | 4 | 7

10 | 6 | 8 | P | 6 | 4 | L | 4 | P | P | 4 | 7 | 8 | 9

Now, write here the greeters’ welcome message or the message code:

[transcriber’s note: blank scroll-shaped answer space]

How was your first challenge? Easy right? Now that you have completed the password, answer the following questions in your activity notebook. After answering the questions, you may proceed to the next station.

1. What festivals are represented by those characters? Where are they celebrated? Can you name other festivals near your locality and describe them briefly?
2. How is each object or keyword connected to the given festival? Can you explain briefly the use of those objects or words in each festival?

The long period of colonization of the Spanish regime in the country brought a huge impact to the lives of Filipinos. Catholic faith was one of those influences of Spanish missionaries and this gave birth to different forms of worship and celebrations including festivals and theatre acts. As time goes by, many Filipinos have modified these festivals into their own Filipino Catholic faith. Even non-religious festivals and theatrical forms were introduced and became a part of the annual celebrations of people in different towns and cities in the Philippines.

Activity 1.3 The TIME MACHINE

Now, you are on your way to the next station, you will need this time machine for another mission as you go back hundreds of years ago to the age of our forefathers.

Festival and Theatrical Forms

[illustration: magnifying glass icon beside the section title]

Now that you have resolved the challenges in the previous activities, your mind will be once again filled with loads but meaningful knowledge and facts about the history of arts in the Philippines.

[illustration: pair of eyeglass-shaped lenses with the words “A” and “AS” and a partly visible word in the lenses, above the caption]

HAPPY FIESTA PILIPINAS!

Ati-atihan

[photo: Ati-atihan Festival poster showing dancers in feathered headdresses and costumes]

Origin: Legends of the folks told that Ati-atihan Festival originated when the Aetas, indigenous people and early settlers of Panay Island, welcomed some refugee from neighboring country of Borneo and to show gratitude, the Datu’s tribes returned the favor by giving food and shelter when famine came. To celebrate the good deeds of both parties, a festival took place and from there rooted the Ati-atihan festival.

Christianity brought by the Spanish colonizers reached the Panay Island where Kalibo, Aklan is located. The people celebrate this every third Sunday of January in honor of Santo Niño or the infant Jesus of the Catholics.

Celebration and Evolution: People who partake in this festival resembled themselves into Aetas by painting their skin dark. With people dancing with the beat of the drums, the Ati-Atihan nowadays has turned into joyful and meaningful competitions. Of course, the old traditions of religious procession with Santo Niño image will always be a part of it but to add fun and excitement and to promote tourism, street dancing, massive parades, and music concerts are now included in the celebration.

Kadayawan Festival

Origin: According to old stories, the ethnic tribes from Davao, particularly those living at the foot of Mount Apo would gather and celebrate their bountiful harvests and give thanks to theirs Supreme Being, ‘Manama’

[photo: Kadayawan Festival poster showing dancers in red and gold costumes]

Celebration and Evolution: In the 1970s a Bagobo Mayor of Davao had an idea of introducing to the Davaoeños the ethnic rituals and thanksgiving dance of the Lumad and Muslim tribes in their region.

Then, in 1986, “Apo Duwaling” festival was created in order to reunite the Davaoeños after the Martial Law. This is in celebration of Mt. Apo, Durian and Waling-waling which are famous icons in Davao. Mayor Rodrigo Duterte, in 1988, renamed it as “Kadayawan sa Dabaw” in celebration of Davao’s blessings described as ‘Madayaw’ or good, valuable, and superior.

The ethnic ritual ‘pahinungod’ is a form of thanksgiving where festival participants sing and dance as they offer their harvests to their divine protectors. Today, it is participated by the ten tribes in Davao, holding the festival dance as competition. Street dance with amazing floral floats and festival costumes are also exhibited to showcase their booming floral industry.

Moriones

[photo: Moriones Festival poster showing men in Roman soldier masks and costumes]

Origin: As recorded in the history of Marinduque, Moriones Festival was first celebrated in 1807 when a Mogpog parish priest initiated a play about a Roman centurion named Longinus who was assigned to execute Jesus Christ and had experienced a miracle when his vision was restored because of the blood of Christ.

Celebration and Evolution: Every Holy Week in the Catholic calendar, Moriones festival which name was from the word ‘Morion’ meaning mask or visor, is participated by men and women wearing masks and costumes of biblical Roman soldiers. Most of the participants are farmers and fishermen of the town who vowed to this old tradition as their sacrifice or penance. From a simple re-enactment to now a festival with drums and parade of moriones spreading in some other parts of southern localities in Oriental Mindoro, Moriones festival shows the preservation of Catholic faith and progression of culture and arts.

According to ‘History of Marinduque Excerpts’, Moriones participants go out of the streets nowadays to give some fun to townspeople by playing pranks on them, serenading the young women and making the children scared of their masks. However those who played victims of these scenarios could not detect whom to blame for they have similar masks.

What’s up my comrade? Are you having fun travelling back to see how magnificent our festivals are? Is it not good to know that our ancestors had these celebrations of life that combine religion, lifestyle and arts. If we could only witness hundreds of these festivals in the country, we would be amazed as to how artistic the minds of our fellow Filipinos are and how loyal and faithful we are to our beliefs and religion which make us a prayerful and God-loving people. Let us now see if you can pick out important details and learning from the discussion.

Activity 2

Fill out this chart of festivals with their features so we could share these details to fellow festival lovers for their future trips. Copy the table on your activity notebook.

[chart: table; Activity 2 festival features chart, with blank cells to be completed]

Reflect on the following questions. Write your answers in your activity notebook.

1. How would you describe the festivals in the Philippines? Do you think we all have the reasons to celebrate those festivals? Why?
2. Given our celebrations and festivals, what do you think is the impact of history and religion to our present lives now?

TEATRO DE FILIPINO

Senakulo

[illustration: stage with draped curtains and figures performing a scene]

Features and Origin: Brought by the Christian faith influenced by the Spanish in the Philippines is the play Senakulo which is all about the sufferings of Jesus Christ as he was crucified and died in the cross. Taken from the Spanish word ‘cenakulo’, this religious play started first as reading of the Pasyon every Lenten season by the folks from Barrio Dayap in Cainta in 1904. It started when the residents of the barrio put up a cross and they smelled a powerful scent from it. Since then, the reading of Pasyon became a tradition in the place until the townspeople began performing a depiction of the Passion of the Christ.

The play was traditionally performed on a stage with a painted cloth backdrop called ‘telon’, and lasted for a week from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday. Nowadays, Senakulo can be witnessed in many places in the country where some are being modified and last only for two hours and are presented not only on stage but also on the streets, open areas or in a chapel for as long as this type of Catholic faith is known to the townspeople.

What’s More

Hear ye, Hear ye! Come my friend, let me take you to this showcase of talent of this man in drums. Drums are used in old and modern festivals just like Ati-atihan, Moriones and Kadayawan.

Activity 3 Strike and Write

This festival drummer knows how to make a celebration fun and memorable. He also knows that every festival has its own beat that makes each one different or similar in some ways. For this activity, you will compare and contrast the three festivals from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao (Moriones, Ati-atihan, Kadayawan) by writing the similarities and differences about their origins and performance practices. You may also do a research from other sources about the given festivals. Copy the illustration of the drums and write your answers on it. Do this in a sheet of paper.

[illustration: a drummer wearing a wide-brimmed hat, playing drums; the drums are labeled “MORIONES FESTIVAL,” “ATI-ATIHAN FESTIVAL,” “KADAYAWAN FESTIVAL,” and “SIMILARITIES”; the drummer’s chest strap is labeled “DIFFERENCES”]

Now, answer the following questions on your activity notebook.

1. What did you discover about these festivals after comparing them to one another?
2. Being a learner, how important is it for you to learn and understand the origins and performance practices of Philippine festivals?
3. How can you be of help in preserving the festivals in your locality?
