<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Contemporary Western Halloween celebrations on October 31
are characterized by themes of horror, fantasy and fun, and the Filipino <i>Undas
</i>on November 1 is about remembering and honoring the dead, which has become
an occasion for gathering. These observances are incorporated into the new
Raniag: The Vigan Twilight Festival in Vigan City, the capital of Ilocos Sur,
on the eastern seaboard of northern Luzon, and a popular tourist destination
because of its heritage. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Besides taking in the practices of Halloween and <i>Undas</i>,
the local government of Vigan, which organizes the Raniag, throws in several
events and extends the celebration to several days to be a veritable modern
Philippine festival. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">This year, the Raniag Festival was held from October 21
to 31, 2017, with a line-up of events including a drive-in movie marathon in
Barangay IV; the lighting of candle floaters and a competition of bands at the
Celedonia Garden in the <i>barangay </i>of Beddeng Laud; the launching of sky
lanterns at the Jardin de Caridad, a memorial garden; a heritage house
transformed into the walk-through horror house; a marathon at the Tamag Open
Grounds; and a parade of “little saints” along Nueva Segovia Road. Also
included were the regional competition and exhibit of the World Costume Festival,
but the highlight were the float parade of lights and the street dancing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">During those days, tourists came pouring into the United
Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (Unesco) World
Heritage site, 408 kilometers north of Manila, and the city welcomed them with
an array of spectacles besides its main attraction of heritage houses. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Since the opening
of the Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway (TPLEx), an 88.85-kilometer,
four-lane expressway in Central Luzon, travel time to Vigan from Manila has
lessened, encouraging more people to visit. Also, attracting them are the
year-round events the city is constantly holding. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">There are six special events in Vigan City, starting with
the Longganisa Festival in the middle of January, which leads to the feast day
of the conversion of Saint Paul the Apostle, the city's patron saint, on
January 25. The Holy Week during the summer with its religious traditions is
also attracting many tourists. The Viva Vigan!: Binatbatan Festival of the Arts
is held on the first week of May, with the celebration of the feast day of the
Black Nazarene of Vigan's Simbaan a Bassit, popularly called Apo Santo Cristo
or Apo Lakay. The UNESCO World Heritage Cities Solidarity Cultural Festival is
held in early September. The Raniag Festival, which is now on its seventh year,
caps the year. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The name of the festival is derived from the Ilocano word
for “light,” evoking the image of the lit candles of <i>Undas</i>, and most of
its events are held during twilight or night, such as the float parade of
lights. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">This year, the Raniag Electric Float Parade, on October
27, had 24 major floats from communities, private organizations, businesses,
schools and other institutions, which were in competition. The parade was
beefed up with the participation of the different departments and offices of
the city government, the employees dressed in costumes and their little floats
mostly inspired by popular culture, especially Western television programs and
movies such as <i>The Flintstones, Game of Thrones</i>, <i>Captain America</i>,
and different Disney productions. American pop culture is very much popular in
Filipino lives.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The big floats, eye-catching with their lights, were
actually dressed-up tricycles with persons atop. The themes were varied. The
first prize was awarded to a float depicting a haunted house, while the second
prize went to the peacock float. Xentro Mall's entry, a woman dressed as a
fairy with gigantic and scintillating wings, was awarded </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">third prize.
A float bearing a woman dressed in large and colorful flowers was judged fourth
place, while a lavishly dressed woman in gold with an entourage wearing period
pieces bagged the fifth prize.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The street dancing and
showdown the following day also drew large crowds. Eleven contingents from the
Divine Word College of Vigan; Vigan West National High School; Silnag Dance
Troupe from San Nicolas, Ilocos Norte; Most Wanted One Pamilyas; Liyab
Creations; Ilocos Sur National High School Sangalaw Dance Troupe; El Mafia
Familia; Vigan East National High School; University of Northern Philippines
Senior High School; Dynamics Dance Company Iloko Fire Dancers from Sarrat,
Ilocos Norte; and Dance Project participated and competed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Disney princesses,
chess pieces coming to life, dancing bees and flowers, and ancient Egypt motif
were used as themes. Dynamics Dance Company's tense and energetic dance
harnessing fire power garnered a third place, while the University of Northern
Philippines's group placed second with dancing mermaids and mermen carrying
luminous jellyfishes. Dance Project had India as a theme, dancing to “Jai Ho!
(You Are My Destiny),” and they won the top prize.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The World Costume
Festival, organized with the Organization of International Scenographers,
Theater Architects and Technicians, was incorporated into the Raniag Festival.
The first festival was held in May 2013 in Vigan as part of the Viva Vigan!
Binatbatan Festival of the Arts. Different legs are held every year-the
regional, the national and the international. This year, the World Costume Festival
held its Vigan and regional legs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The costume design
competition had contenders designing for a particular festival. Vigan designers
Marc Leo Aguilar, Raymund Andallo, Gian Claude Ben, Melvin Fernando and Darwin
Ramirez created costumes for Viva Vigan! Binatbatan Festival of the Arts, while
Veronica Hernandez, Delmar Pisalbo and Jose Remolete III created costumes for
the Longganisa Festival, and Rene “Ian” Antendido for Raniag: The Vigan
Twilight Festival.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Third-place winner
Ramirez created more traditional pieces—<i>terno </i>and shirt—made with
hand-woven textiles, while second-place winner Ben painted giant flowers on the
skirt. Remolete received the top prize for dresses embellished with cut-outs of
Vigan cultural icons.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Participating in the Luzon leg were Frederick Amid from the
province of Apayao, with costume for the Say-am Festival; Margaret Ancheta from
San Fernando City, La Union, for the Caoayan Festival; Michael Abe Benzon of
Vigan City for Raniag: The Vigan Twilight Festival; Christian Fider from Tayug,
Pangasinan, for a sunflower festival; Erwin Gascon of Ilocos Sur for the Buri
Festival of San Juan; JM Tan of Ilocos Sur for the Kannawidan Ylocos Festival;
and Philip Jerome Vaquilar of Vigan City for Raniag.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Vaquilar's
mythical-hero costumes won third, while Tan's costumes inspired by Cordilleran
culture placed second. Benzon's costumes of foamy sea theme were declared first
place.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: garamond, serif; font-size: 12pt;">The show was held in the middle of Crisologo Street, the
heritage core of the city, with an arresting backdrop of old Vigan mansions,
warmly lit, an fine assemblage of shadows and stones, still inspiring
wonderment and imagination. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN">October 7 is the Feast of
Our Lady of the Holy Rosary. In late afternoon of that day, the city of San
Pablo in Laguna, which is known for its seven lakes, held a solemn procession,
starting at the eighteenth-century Saint Paul the First Hermit Cathedral. The
city though celebrates its feast day on January 15, honoring Saint Paul the First Hermit, its patron saint
after which it is named. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN"> The procession, participated in mostly by students of
San Pablo's schools, was spearheaded by Don Conrado "Ado" Escudero,
owner of the Villa Escudero, a sprawling <i>hacienda </i>that has plantations,
a popular resort and recently real-estate developments. His sister, Consuelo,
served as <i>hermana mayor</i>. The Escuderos are devout Catholics. Their
family museum, which is a popular destination inside the plantation resort,
houses numerous old images of saints and the Virgin. An impressive statue of
Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary inside San Pablo church is originally owned by
Don Ado's mother, Rosario Adap Escudero.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN"> "My mother left us an image, which is something
to behold. Not only it is beautiful, it is precious because it is made of
silver, gold and ivory. It is something we can be proud of," Don Ado
related. "Years and years ago, the original image of Our Lady of the Holy
Rosary was brought to Manila from San Pablo. The image was brought out every
year, every October, so they requested my mother to have one made so that they
could continue the tradition, because, you known, San Pablo is one of the
oldest mission churches in the country. Nowadays, the young generation's
preoccupation is not really embdded with religious instruction. And we want to
continue (the tradition)." <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN"> He then asked the bishop if they can continue the
tradition of celebrating the Feast of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary, and the
response was enthusiastic. He was told though that the people, especially the
younger people, might not be interested, but Don Ado did not mind and persuaded
them to let him do what he wanted to do. The image, after some time, again was
brought out of the church last year. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN"> "It was a successful event," he said. Thus,
he did it again this year, calling the procession as "peace rally,"
responding to the current time of uncertainty and violence. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN"> The eighty-six-year-old Don Ado is known for keeping
old traditions, and Villa Escudero is the crowning glory of his efforts, where
visitors are afforded an old hacienda way of living and enjoying. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN"> The <i>hacienda </i>is about a thousand hectares, Don
Ado said, and it traverses the city of San Pablo and the town of Tiaong in
Quezon. It was founded in the 1880s by Don Placido Escudero and his wife Dona
Claudia Marasigan, originally planted with sugar cane. Their son Don Arsenio
Escudero turned to coconuts in the early 1900s. He is said to be an agro-industrialist,
who built the country's first working hydroelectric plant, which is now an
attraction at the <i>hacienda</i>. His children, including Don Ado, opened the <i>hacienda
</i>to the public in 1981.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN"> Villa Escudero Plantations and Resort is known for
its carabao-drawn carriages that bring visitors around. The structures reflect
traditional architecture designs and used native materials. The food, overseen
by its current executive chef Cocoy Ventura, is Filipino. One can feast on a
buffet by the dam, behind the hydroelectric plant, where the water cascades
from a reservoire and flows through your feet while you eat. This feasting on
the stream and by the waterfall has become a signature Villa Escudero
experience. There are also regular performances of Filipino folk songs and
dances. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
Villa Escudero is an iconic destination of Laguna and
Quezon, said Rebecca V. Labit, regional director of the Department of Tourism.
And about 800 people visits it every day.
Indeed, that Saturday the <i>hacienda</i>-resort buzzed with visitors, families
enjoying the weekend, <i>bakadas </i>on excursions and Filipinos bringing their
foreigner guests to experience an idyllic Filipino setting. <br />

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The Taiwan High Speed Rail stops at the foot of
Mount Panping in Zuoying District, southern part of Kaohsiung City, Taiwan’s
second largest city locate in the southwestern part. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Zuoying is a quiet, leafy suburban district,
surrounded by mountains and facing the Taiwan Strait. It is known as a home to
military personnel and their families, and their villages as well as a military
veterans museum have become tourist attractions. But there are many other sites
of interest such as heritage and archaeological sites, food stops, temples and
shrines, and natural parks. The Zuoying Cultural Bus Tour, which starts at the
train station, affords visitors a survey of the district’s cultural heritage. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Near the
train station is the man-made Lotus Pond or Lake, between Mount Guei or Turtle
Mountain and Mount Panping or Half-Screen Mountain. We made a stop to visit the
large pagodas. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Lotus Pond, which often blooms with
lotuses, thus the name, was completed in 1951. It became one of the sites of
some World Games 2009 events such canoe polo, water skiing and dragon boat
racing. Until now, many people enjoy water sports on the sprawling pond. But it
is mostly a place for relaxation and contemplation. Parks and walkways fringed
the pond. One side, especially along Liantan Road, is dotted with temples and
restaurants.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> One is the elaborate Ciji Temple,
dedicated to Bao Sheng Da Di, or the Emperor of Well-Being, a god of medicine
in Chinese folk religion and Taoism popularly in Fujian in China and Taiwan. The
temple is said to be originally built in 1719 at Feng Shan and then moved to
Zuoying, renovating it in 1960. Another temple is the impressive Qiming Temple,
built in 1909 and rebuilt in 1970s, dedicated to Guang Di. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> More popular to tourists are the
pagodas and pavilions, rising from almost in the middle of the lake. Across
Ciji Temple are the Dragon and Tiger Pagodas. They are actually extensions of
the temple, built in 1976 under the orders of Bao Sheng himself, some believe.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The Dragon and Tiger Pagodas are two towers,
one for the Tiger and the other Dragon. Built with traditional Chinese
architectural elements, the seven-storey towers can be garish, with bright
colors and folksy decorations. Zigzagging walkways lead you to them from the
shore. Large statues of a tiger and a dragon stand at each tower. One is
advised to enter the dragon’s mouth and exit at the lion’s mouth. This way, one
turns bad luck into good luck. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Inside the bodies of the mythical
animals, the walls are painted with Buddhist and Taoist characters and scenes,
such as China’s 24 most obedient sons, the twelve Magi, the Jade Emperor’s
thirty palaces, Confucius, and scenes of heaven and hell. After passing through
the dragon, one can go up the towers for a panoramic view of the lake and the
mountains, and feel the breeze.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> About 700 meters north of the Dragon
and Tiger Pagodas, the Spring and Autumn Pavilions, built in 1953, stand across
Qiming Temple. The gaudy pavilions, dedicated to Guandi, the god of war, are
two octagonal, four-storey pagodas with a giant dragon, with teal-colored
scales and yellow fins, slithering at their feet. Atop the dragon is a statue
of Guanyin, commonly known as the goddess of mercy. If local lore is to be
believed, the dragon and the statue of Guanyin were later added. According to legend,
Guanyin appeared among the clouds riding on a dragon, and believers
commemorated the event by installing depictions of it between the pagodas.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 12pt;">One can also enter the dragon’s
hollow body, its walls painted with scenes from Buddhist and Taoist stories and
beliefs.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 12pt;">They can be interesting small
journeys, entering the bodies of mythical animals and then climbing the towers
with the landscape of water and mountains revealing itself to you as if you’re
being formed or reformed and then birthed, near the clouds.</span></div>

</tbody></table>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">It is a small nation, a little island really.
But its name has reverberated throughout my childhood and until today. Taiwan floats
like a fallen fruit on China Sea in East Asia, gigantic China to its west and
to its south numerous islands grouped as the Philippines. The nation is a giant
in several ways—in manufacturing and in industrial economy—but it is more than
that as I discovered in a few visits, learning its culture bit by bit and even
most deliciously through its panoply of dishes, and contemplating on its
beautiful landscapes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Taiwan is very Chinese, mostly Han,
as much as it is also other cultures—Western and indigenous. It is very
cosmopolitan as well as very rustic. It is very modern but also steeped in
traditions. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Many travelers enter Taiwan through
its international airport in Taoyuan City in the northernmost part and travel
about forty kilometres east to the capital Taipei. I love Taipei. As I
approached the city on bus, I saw it from afar a sprawling cluster of gleaming
buildings. I also saw its fringes and fingers crawling into the mountainsides
and forests, not menacingly but almost tenderly as if to clasp them. At many
points, the city meets and melds beautifully with forests and mountains. A
clear river rushes into the city, silver like the glass buildings. In the city,
I love the wide sidewalks and the tree-lined streets, and the food, both
inventive and traditional, that makes the streets redolent. At night and in the
markets, food is more attractive and beguiling than the shiniest toys or
gadgets.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> From Taipei, we would go south to Kaohsiung
City. Going around Taiwan is very convenient. We went on the Taiwan High Speed
Rail that runs about 350 kilometers, traversing the running central region,
from north to south. From Taipei, it takes only about an hour to go to
Kaohsiung. There are views of fields and forests, and in between there are stations
like airport terminals.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> From Kaohsiung, we made our way back
to Taipei, stopping at major cities—Tainan, Taichung, New Taipei, Taoyuan—and
visiting temples old and new, the night markets with its riot of colors and
aromas, the restaurants that revealed to be gastronomic wonderlands, lakes as
well as malls, and meeting friendly and interesting people. Every street had
its story. The body ached but the spirit nourished. It will take a lifetime or
two to know Taiwan, but we took in as much as we can, and the experiences we
collected always bloom brightly in the gardens of our memories. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 11.9pt;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 12pt;">During
the campaign of long-time mayor of Davao City Rodrigo Duterte to become
president of Philippines in 2016, perhaps the most powerful tool employed by
his supporters was social media. Rumor has it that an army of online trolls
were employed to extol Duterte, as well as attack his critics. When he became
president, social media became a promotional machine and a weapon, targeting
dissenting voices and praising his controversial policies and pronouncements,
often in the most vicious ways including the fabrication of fake news. One of
Duterte’s most controversial actions is his support for the family of and his
admiration for the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos, shrugging off the horrendous
human rights violations committed during martial law. He also did not keep
secret his inclination towards martial rule. This led to the secretive burial
of the former president at the Libingan ng mga Bayani with full military honors
on November 18, 2016, despite protests, as well as a blatant disregard for the
truth and a flippant attitude towards martial law atrocities, promoted by
online trolls and echoed and believed by supporters, many of them millennials,
who pooh-poohed the abuses on human rights and see this episode, though
comparatively a recent one, as a dusty and negligible piece of history, if they
weren’t totally ignorant of it. The online trolls also went as far to further
the mission of rehabilitating the image of Marcos. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 11.9pt;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Many
Filipinos were alarmed by this turn of events, among them artists who protest
this atrocious revision of history through art. One of the notable works to
come out recently is the stage musical <i>A Game of Trolls</i> by the
Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA), which is currently
celebrating its 50th year and was recently honored with a Ramon Magsaysay
Award.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 11.9pt;">
<i><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 12pt;">A
Game of Trolls</span></i><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> is
affirmation of the artist-teacher group’s continuous commitment of using
theater for social change and justice. PETA has been known for advancing
progressive theater, as well as a breeding ground of many of the country’s
respected theater and film artists. It has struggled for freedom of expression
and has led in many cultural protests during the Marcos dictatorship.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 11.9pt;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 12pt;">In
her message, current PETA executive director Beng Santos-Cabangon said, “Why
tell the story of martial law? As artists, we in PETA remain steadfast in our
mission to use the arts to reflect peoples’ stories and examine our history, so
we can find meaning in chaos, make sense of our realities and have vision
amidst doubt and cynicism. Why the need to remember? Because it is in
remembering that we understand. With understanding, we care. And when we care,
we stand firm, we march and shout, ‘Never again!’” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 11.9pt;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 12pt;">She
further said, “This play is PETA’s humble contribution to the ongoing effort of
sharing and forging a dialog and understanding about our country’s martial law
history. It is also a call to action — to make our young people learn and
understand that the freedom they enjoy today was fought with the blood and
tears of their elders.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 11.9pt;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 12pt;">In
this endeavor, PETA is supported by the National Historical Commission of the
Philippines, ensuring the accuracy of historical details, as well as advocacy
groups Bantayog ng mga Bayani Foundation, Dakila and Active Vista.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 11.9pt;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Leni
Velasco, Active Vista’s executive director, explained, “By co-presenting <i>A
Game of Trolls</i> and initiating various creative endeavors as
artist-activists and cultural educators, we hope that the present generation
may be encouraged to seek the truth amidst the varying narratives circulated
that are meant to deceive and misinform our people; sow disunity in our
country; and mislead our nation towards the path to genuine change.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 11.9pt;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 12pt;">On
the other hand, Dakila executive director Micheline Rama commented, “The most
effective antidote against historical revisionism, false heroes, fake news,
apathy and misinformation has always been education through the arts—real
compelling stories of the human struggles presented through creative forms—film,
music, visuals and theater.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 11.9pt;">
<i><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 12pt;">A
Game of Trolls</span></i><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 12pt;">,
written by Liza Magtoto and directed by PETA artistic director Maribel Legarda
with music by Vincent de Jesus, revolves around Hector (Myke Solomon), a young
man who works as an online troll defending and spreading fake news in support
of martial law, showing total indifference and ignorance about that era’s ugly
truths. He is also indifferent to his own mother, harboring a grudge because of
her past absences and ignorant of her past as an activist and a victim of
torture during martial law. Heck has a group of friends, members of a band led
by activist-leaning Cons (Gold Villar-Lim), who becomes Heck’s love
interest. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 11.9pt;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Heck
is visited by “ghosts” of real martial law victims including doctor Bobby de la
Paz, writer Emannuel Lacaba, student-activist Ed Jopson, Kalinga leader
Macli-ing Dulag, and nun Sister Mariani Dimaranan, all telling him their
stories during the martial law period. The stories are told seriously, as well
as in popular entertainment formats to attract the play’s main target, the
millennials. The play also incorporates rap and hip-hop, as well as digital
graphics projected on the backdrop to be more appealing for the younger
audience. The images of the play also include very recent images, such as
extrajudicial killings, the burying of the truth, and strongman tendencies,
drawing frightening parallels. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 11.9pt;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 12pt;">But
with careful research, <i>A Game of Trolls</i> remains factual,
resisting the tendency to sugar-coat the horrors perpetrated by the Marcos
regime, and the story serves as the emotional core, enabling the presentation
of a vital history lesson in an engaging manner as well as of a cautionary tale
that tells us that condonement and even tolerance of or silence on something as
evil as this will affect us all.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">The <i>ikat
</i>dyeing technique for hand-woven textiles is practiced by several ethnic
groups not only in the Philippines, but also in some countries in Southeast
Asia. Also, there are similar stories that are being retold within the region,
such as the different versions of the epic <i>Ramayana</i>, an influence from
India. The commonality in traditional culture and heritage is more evident in
an area in Southeast Asia that includes the countries the Philippines, Brunei
Darussalam, Indonesia and Malaysia. </span></div>
<div align="left" class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US">These
shared heritage and traditions, as well as the diversity of cultures, will be
highlighted by the very first Budayaw: The BIMP-EAGA Festival of Culture and
the Arts, which will be held from September 20 to 24, 2017, in General Santos
City. The festival will include different activities and events such as
lectures, workshops, performances, exhibits, tours and others. </span></div>
<div align="left" class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US">“Budayaw,
as festival of cultures, showcases the links of our diverse cultures within the
equator surrounded by or attached to the Sulu and Sulawesi Seas, a very ruch
area of natural resources, but at the same time very blessed with diversity of
cultures, which historically have been linked together since the eleventh,
twelfth, thirteenth century,” explained Nestor Horfilla, a theater veteran and
cultural worker, who serves as the festival director.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US">Before the
current political boundaries, the peoples of what are now the Philippines,
Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia and Malaysia have been in contact with each other
since the olden times. Although the main purpose was trade, they were also
influencing each other’s cultures.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US">Aside
from geographical proximity, the during links among the four nations became the
basis of the establishment of the Brunei
Darussalam-Indonesia-Malaysia-Philippines East Asean Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA), a
cooperation to bolster socio-economic developemnt in the region with a shared
strategy, about 20 years ago.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US">The
BIMP-EAGA originally focuses on areas of tourism, environment, connectivity and
transportation, and food production. In November 2015, the socio-cultural
aspect and education pillar was officially added as an area of focus. </span></div>
<div align="left" class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US">“Twenty
years of economic cooperation in the BIMP-EAGA led to the realization that
culture, indeed, is a vital element in sustainable development of the four
countries in the equator,” said Horfilla.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US">The
Budayaw Festival is the first major cultural project of the BIMP-EAGA. </span></div>
<div align="left" class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US">The
Philippines was chosen to host the first festival, whose name was coined from
two words—<i>budaya</i>, Malay for “culture,” and <i>dayaw</i>, a word in
several Philippine languages that means “bounty” or “praise”—and which will be
held every two years among the four countries. </span></div>
<div align="left" class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US">As the
official Philippine representative in the BIMP-EAGA Socio-Cultural Development
Working Group, the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA)
spearheads the holding of the festival, providing about P10 million in funding,
in collaboration with different agencies and institutions including the
Mindanao Development Authority, Department of Tourism Region XII, the city
government of General Santos, the provincial government of Sarangani,
Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao and the Philippine Information Agency.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US">The
Budayaw Festival is a chance to showcase the cultural richness of Mindanao and
Palawan, the islands that are part of BIMP-EAGA. It will feature traditional arts,
crafts and practices.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US">One
notable event is the exhibit on <i>ikat</i>-dyeing technique, which has been
used by many Mindanao groups such as the T’boli and the Blaan on their hand
weaving. A specially designed pavilion will serve as a shared domain of invited
master weavers, who will conduct a demonstration on the age-old practice.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US">Another
traditional art to be highlighted in the festival is indigenous music with
performances using native musical instruments such as gongs, bamboo instruments
and string instruments. These instruments are also shared heritage of the four
countries.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US">Performances
of traditional dances, such as the <i>pangalay </i>of the Tausug, <i>kab-apir-apir
</i>of the Meranaw and T’boli dances from the Philippines, are also
included. </span></div>
<div align="left" class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US">Contemporary
artistic creations will share the spotlight with traditional heritage. The
BIMP-EAGA artists, for example, will display their works at the “Under One Sky”
exhibit. Choral groups will be invited to perform. There will be performances
of contemporary dances.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US">Notable is
a grand theatrical production of six Mindanao theater groups. The Sining
Kambayoka Ensemble of Mindanao State University (MSU) in Marawi City; Sining
Kandidilimudan Ensemble of MSU in Maguindanao; Kabpapagariya Ensemble of MSU in
General Santos City; Kaliwat Performing Artists Collective of Davao City;
Kagay-an Performing Arts Troupe of Cagayan de Oro City; and Tambuli Cultural
Troupe of Tawi-Tawi will converge for a collaborative dramatic adaptation of
Maharadia Lawana. Each group were given to an episode of the Meranaw prose folk
narrative version of the Ramayana to be adapted for the stage.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US">To make
the Budayaw experience more immersive, there will be special tour packages for
the visiting guests and tourists to explore the richness of Mindanao culture, as
well as its touristic destinations.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US">A series
of colloquiums will tackle cultural exchanges and the safeguarding cultural
diversity. According to Horfilla, they will try to gather experiences and
proposals to craft strategies to enhance cultural exchanges among the BIMP-EAGA
member countries, and these will be submitted to different cultural ministries
“so that they will open more windows for cultural exchange for artists.”
</span></div>
<div align="left" class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US">Most of
the Budayaw events will be held at the major malls of General Santos City
including SM City General Santos, Gaisano Mall, Veranza Mall and KCC Mall,
where there will plenty of foot traffic.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US">“Roots of
tradition and routes of development in culture are the key issues that we
would like to highlight in the Budayaw Festival,” said Horfilla. “We also want
to emphasize the right of people to appreciate different cultures.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="Bodytext">
While
showcasing the diversity of creative expressions of BIMP-EAGA cultural masters
and artists, the Budayaw Festival is hoped to raise awareness and foster appreciation
for the cultures and arts of the region, thus engendering understanding and
solidarity among the peoples of the BIMP-EAGA.</div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Groups
of dancers paraded and performed on the streets of Lucena City for the annual
Niyogyugan Festival of the province of Quezon. While it was rainy in several
parts of the country, the capital of the province was sunny, the heat bearing
down on the dancers. With colorful costumes, they enlivened the sleepy
afternoon but did not match the verve and agility of dancers in the festivals
in the Visayas such as in the Sinulog Festival of Cebu and the Dinagyang
Festival of Iloilo City. What attracted more attention during the parade were
the floats, inventive and sometimes intricate, given the restrictions in the
materials to be used. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> It is noticeable that the penchant
of the Tagalog people and region is in ornamentation. During fiestas, Bulacan
traditionally puts up <i>singkaban</i>,
arches made purely of bamboo, amazing with its curlicues and other details.
Baler and San Luis in Aurora also set up decorative arches that instantly
foment a festive air. In Quezon, the town of Gumaca is known for its<i> aranya</i> and <i>baluarte</i>, while Lucban is a star during its fiesta with houses
abundantly decorated with <i>kiping</i> and
farm produce. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> In the Niyogyugan Festival, the
biggest attractions were the fair booths around the provincial capitol grounds
and the floats. While the festival is of recent invention, with only five years
of mounting, they make their booths and floats as if they have been doing them for
ages, showing a native knack for crafts and embellishment. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> The booths actually figured
prominently during the birth of the festival. Niyogyugan Festival started as a
trade fair to bolster the coconut industry with the aim of reclaiming the
status being the number-one producer of coconuts in the country. The province
of Quezon rivals three Davao provinces as the country’s top coconut producer
with a total coconut plantation of 391,196 hectares, representing 78 percent of
its agricultural land, with about 78 million coconut trees. Each of the 203,000
farmers in the province tills an average of nearly two hectares of coconut
plantation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Later on, taking cue from the idea of congresswoman
Aleta Suarez, the trade fair was transformed into a contemporary festival in
2012. The name was a portmanteau of the Filipino words <i>niyog</i> (coconut) and <i>yugyugan</i>
(dance). The festival was timed to coincide with the commemoration of the birth
anniversary of Manuel Luis Quezon, president of the Commonwealth of the
Philippines from 1935 to 1944, who was born on August 19, 1878, after which the
province was named. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Like any other festivals in the
country, Niyogyugan is a weeks-long agricultural, tourism and cultural event
filled with concerts, a beauty contest, sports, socials, and others, culminating with a parade, street
dancing and dance showdown. This year, it has held from August 17 to 27. The
coconut remains the center of the celebration with the booths featuring diverse
displays of coconut products, as well as other farm produce and marine catches from
the province’s upland towns and coastal and island communities. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> The booths themselves were
predominantly constructed using coconuts, from trunks and leaves to the husks
and fibers, and were designed to represent the culture of the different towns. The
capitol grounds would be transformed into a theme park and an outdoor market
offering virgin coconut oil, <i>lambanog</i>,
skimmed milk, coconut water drink, coconut vinegar, coconut sugar, cheese,
yogurt cream, sauces, cooked dishes and others. Aside from food products, there
were also furniture, handicrafts, house décor, fiber and netting used in
landscaping, all from coconuts. Booths of the coastal and island towns, some of
which took about ten hours of travel to reach Lucena to participate, sold
exotic clams and conches and other marine produce. At night they were all lit
up to the delight of visitors who came in droves. The past years, about 200,000
visitors came to the festival. This year, visitors reached about half a
million, indicating its growing popularity. Exhibitors reportedly earned around
P15 million in sales of their products.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> From thirty-eight in 2015 and
thirty-nine in 2016, this year all of the Quezon’s thirty-nine towns and two
cities were able to put up their own booths. Aside from products, the booths
were also educational, each featuring a mini-exhibit of their tourist
attractions, local culture and unique features. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Gumaca was replica of the San Diego
Fortress or Kutang Kastilyo, a well-known historical landmark of the town, embellished
with a<i> baluarte </i>or decorative arch;
while Pagbilao was in the shape of the view deck in the Pagbilao Mangrove
Experimental Forest in Ibabang Palsabangon to highlight this new eco-tourism
destination.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Known for its ancestral houses, the Sariaya
booth was inspired by an art-deco mansion complete with a little <i>rondalla</i> band, which played live music
in the late afternoon.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The Tayabas booth was crowned with a giant
bottle of <i>lambanog</i>, the iconic
alcoholic drink of southern Tagalog region, indispensable in social gatherings.
Beside it was the Atimonan booth on which its popular folkloric creature, the
mermaid, sat. The town is known to have a mermaid statue on Lamon Bay. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Padre Burgos booth was impressive with giant chickens
reminding visitors of its original name, Laguimanok, so named because its
coastline is said to be shaped like a chicken’s bill. Giant birds also adorned
the Lopez booth, made with multi-colored <i>buri</i>
fans or <i>pamaypay</i>, the known product
of the town.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The Infanta booth was dome-shaped to represent
the coconut, made up of myriad, polished coconut shells, while the Panukulan booth
was shaped like sea waves, being a town in the island of Polillo in the
Philippine Sea. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> The floats echoed the booth’s motif.
There were twenty-two this year, paraded together with dancers, on the August
27, the culmination day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Lucban fielded a float shaped like a giant
carabao to emphasize its being an agricultural town, while Calauag’s float
featured a humongous sea turtle, covered with tiles of coconut shells. The
Padre Burgos float had a giant chicken while the Quezon float had a big red
lionfish. A giant mask fronted the Tagkawayan float, giving tribute to its early
settlers, the Aeta, while Sariaya highlighted its local bread, the sweet and
fragrant <i>pinagong</i>. The Candelaria
float remained simple, decorated with giant candles, but it proved to be the
most polished and elegant float.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Stories of people from rural areas, naively lured by the big, bright
city lights, only to be disillusioned or met with tragedy, have been a
perennial theme in many works, almost to the point of being hackneyed. But when
<i>Maynila: Sa Mga Kuko ng Liwanag</i>, directed by National Artist for cinema
Lino Brocka, came out in 1975, it was hailed for its searing social critique of
its time and its unflinching depiction of urban corruption. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Maynila </span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">was based on the
Edgardo M. Reyes’s novel <i>Sa Mga Kuko ng Liwanag </i>(In the claws of light),
serialized in the leading Tagalog magazine <i>Liwayway </i>from 1967 to 1968,
which was later published in book form.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext" style="mso-line-height-alt: 10.3pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The novel tells the story of Júlio Madiaga, who travels to Manila in
search of his childhood friend Ligaya Paraiso, who was brought to the city by
Mrs. Cruz to work and to study. Julio discovers the sordid reality of city life
underneath the bright neon lights and eventually finds Ligaya, who is, in
truth, forced into prostitution. The two plan to return home to their province,
but Ligaya dies during a struggle with brothel owner Ah Tek. An enraged Julio

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Author Reyes was part of a group of writers in the 1960s, who
published their stories in the anthology <i>Mga Agos sa Disyerto </i>in 1964.
It was a meant to rebel against the romanticized mode that dominated Tagalog
writing at the time. Steeped in social realism, these writers went on to depict
the ills of society and the grime of the city. Reyes wrote <i>Sa Mga Kuko ng
Liwanag</i>, among others. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext" style="mso-line-height-alt: 10.3pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">In 1970, Clodualdo del Mundo, Jr. adapted the novel into a
screenplay, which was picked up by filmmaker Mike de Leon. The latter was in
search of projects to produce for his new film outfit. De Leon approached
Brocka to direct the film. Brocka worked with Del Mundo on the script to make
it more appealing to the audience and to inject gay scenes. <i>Maynila: Sa Mga
Kuko ng Liwanag </i>became a Philippine film classic, regarded as one of
Brocka’s best works. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext" style="mso-line-height-alt: 10.3pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The idea for a musical version of <i>Maynila </i>started with
award-winning stage and film director Joel Lamangan and Gantimpala Theater
Foundation. In 2013, Lamangan was named artistic director of the 40-year-old
theater company founded by the late Philippine theater icon Tony Espejo.
Lamangan, who started in theater, has made a name for himself in cinema with
films such <i>The Flor Contemplacion Story, Hubog </i>and <i>Bulaklak ng
Maynila</i>, most of which depict society’s chronic ills.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext" style="mso-line-height-alt: 10.3pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Gantimpala then came up with its National Artists Production Series,
aimed at bringing the works of National Artists, such as Severino Montano, Nick
Joaquin, Wilfrido Ma. Guerrero and F. Sionil Jose, closer to the people. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext" style="mso-line-height-alt: 10.3pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“<i>Maynila </i>was supposed to be the first movie by a National
Artists for film to be part of the National Artists Production series,” related
Lamangan, who was an extra in the movie version (the one who kills Julio
Madiaga in the end). Unfortunately, the project did not push through. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext" style="mso-line-height-alt: 10.3pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Years later, Grand Leisure Corporation bankrolled the much-awaited <i>Maynila
sa mga Kuko ng Liwanag, the Musical</i>. Although the musical began with Brocka
in mind, Lamangan said the stage adaptation is based more on the novel. The gay
scenes were, thus, not included. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext" style="mso-line-height-alt: 10.3pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Lamangan also revealed he is not keen on recreating the look, feel
and modes of the 1970s, in which the story is set, but he concentrated more on
the story of exploitation, and on how to condense the story into a two-act and
two-hour play featuring music and choreographed dance routines. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext" style="mso-line-height-alt: 10.3pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“<i>Dapat ‘yung mga tauhan ay lumabas na mga tunay na taong may puso,
kaluluwa, at damdamin na kumakanta at sumasayaw </i>(The characters should come
out as real people with heart, soul and emotions while singing and dancing),”
shared Lamangan. “<i>Dapat na maramdaman ng mga manonood na nagkukuwento sila
ng ukol sa kanilang mga agam-agam, hinaing, siphayo, at pangarap </i>(The
audience should feel they are telling them of their apprehensions, grievances,
sadness and dreams).”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext" style="mso-line-height-alt: 10.3pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Lamangan gathered an artistic staff composed of people prominent in
their fields. Writer-historian Jose Victor Torres and Em Mendez wrote the
libretto, while Von de Guzman composed the music and serves as the production’s
musical director. Joey Nombres serves as lighting designer. The dance routines
are choreographed by Douglas Nierras, while Jun Flavier Pablo concentrates on
production design. Fullhouse Asia Production Studios, Inc. acts as line
producer. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext" style="mso-line-height-alt: 10.3pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">De Guzman has collaborated with Lamangan in several film projects,
but <i>Maynila, the Musical </i>is his first grand production. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext" style="mso-line-height-alt: 10.3pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“<i>Direk </i>Joel wanted memorable melodies for the play,” he
related. “So the ballads will have the feel of a George Canseco and/or Willy
Cruz composition, the fast numbers we have incorporated very Filipino elements
of <i>singkil</i>, <i>Ati-atihan </i>chants, mostly percussion-driven kind of
music. And then we have the strains of <i>kundiman </i>in the other numbers.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext" style="mso-line-height-alt: 10.3pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">De Guzman added he did not rely much on music from 1970s, but intends
to merge Filipino pop music romanticism with the orchestral power of a
Stravinsky. He also uses Filipino instruments such as the <i>banduria</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext" style="mso-line-height-alt: 10.3pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Nierras, in creating the choreography, also did not rely much on the
dances of that decade. He described his choreography as a compendium of dance
styles, inspired by West End and Broadway, as well as Philippine folk dances.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext" style="mso-line-height-alt: 10.3pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The production also assembled as powerful cast led by Arman Ferrer,
Sheila Valderrama-Martinez and Lara Maigue. Classically-trained singer Ferrer
plays Julio Madiaga, while Valderrama-Martinez and Maigue are alternating as
Ligaya Paraiso. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext" style="mso-line-height-alt: 10.3pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“I was excited to join this production because I wanted to work with
Joel Lamangan whom I’ve never worked with before,” said Valderrama-Martinez. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext" style="mso-line-height-alt: 10.3pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“I’ve been watching Hilda Koronel in the Brocka movie over and again,
and I’ve been talking to friends from University of the Philippines where they
worship before the shrine of <i>Maynila: Sa Mga Kuko ng Liwanag</i>,” Maigue
quipped.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext" style="mso-line-height-alt: 10.3pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Other members cast include Floyd Tena (as Pol), Noel Rayos (Atong),
Rafa Seguion-Reyna and Joseph Puducay (Imo), Aicelle Santos and Rita Daniela
(Perla), Jim Pebanco and Joseph Billezar (Mr. Balajadia), Khalil Kaimo (Gido),
Jeffrey Camanag (Omeng), Romcel Binquis (Benny), Randy Rey (Frank), and Dulce
and Ima Castro (Mrs. Cruz).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext" style="mso-line-height-alt: 10.3pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">With an impressive lineup of people making up its artistic backbone, <i>Maynila
sa mga Kuko ng Liwanag, the Musical </i>is poised to become an important work
to come up in the year. For Lamangan, the story of the <i>Maynila </i>will
resonate with audiences, especially during this time of uncertainty and
normalized human rights abuses. He also said that the issues tackled in the
work are still very relevant.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext" style="mso-line-height-alt: 10.3pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“<i>Hindi nagbabago ang kondisyon </i>since 1970s. <i>Marami pa ring
taong tulad ni Ligaya</i>. <i>Ang nagbabago lang </i>fashion (The condition
doesn’t change since 1970s. There are still many people like Ligaya. The only
thing that changes is fashion),” Lamangan said. “<i>Ang katotohan pa rin noon
ay katotohanan pa rin ngayon </i>(The reality then is still the reality now).”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext" style="mso-line-height-alt: 10.3pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">While social decay still persists, Lamangan pointed out the light
that endures in all of us: “It shows that in the midst of the squalor, despair,
and violence, pure love still exists like the one shared by Julio Madiaga and
Ligaya Paraiso.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><i>Balangay </i>on Manila Bay<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Before the Cinemalaya: Philippine Independent
Film Festival at the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) ended, there was
an extra treat, a rare one. In the morning of August 12, 2017, a modern
recreation of a <i>balangay</i> docked at
the CCP, affording a ride around the Manila Bay to journalists and the film
festival’s staff and guests. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The <i>balangay</i>
is an ancient plank boat adjoined by carved-out planks edged through pins and
dowels, some of which were excavated in Butuan City, Agusan del Norte, in 1976,
then considered the first wooden watercraft ever in Southeast Asia. More <i>balangays</i> were discovered in the area,
many dating hundreds of years old. They are attributed to the Sama people, who
once settled in Butuan, and their boats are a testament to fine craftsmanship.
The boat also became a Philippine cultural icon. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Cinemalaya uses its image as its symbol and
logo because it “embodies the energy, imagination, courage and unbridled
spirit, in short, the muse of diwata that inspires and guides filmmakers to
create cinematic works of deep emotion and sharp insight that intrepidly cut
through convention and prejudice to reveal the dynamic and vibrant complexity
of what it is to be human and Filipino.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The word <i>barangay</i>,
which is the Philippines’ smallest political unit, is derived from <i>balangay</i>. One <i>balangay</i> was considered to carry one social unit. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Arturo Valdez, who led leader the Philippines’
Mount Everest expedition in 2007 and is currently undersecretary of the
Department of Transportation, embarked on a project of recreating the <i>balangay</i>. The first boat was named <i>Diwata ng Lahi</i> and sailed around the
Philippines in 2009. It then went around Southeast Asia, together with another <i>balangay</i> replica, the <i>Masawa Hong Butuan</i>, before becoming a
permanent display on the grounds of the National Museum of the Philippines. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">A third one was build, the <i>Sultan sin Sulu</i>, planned for a voyage to China in 2018. But before
that, we cruised around Manila Bay. The sea was calm and the sky slate-gray as
we waited for the sails to be hoisted up. Being without outrigger, the boat
rocked to the wave and wind, while Valdez talked to us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">In between major expeditions, he said the <i>balangays</i> and their crew go around the
Philippines to raise awareness of the Filipinos’ maritime achievements and attachment
to the sea, the country being an archipelago. He spoke about greatness of the
Filipino in maritime to the international jurors of the film festival as the <i>balangay</i> rode the waves, breaking up
clumps of trash. Often, we were surrounded by floating maps of garbage. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">He also told the passengers that we have lost
attachment to the sea because of colonialism, despite the fact that there are
peoples who are naturally more attached to the earth such as the peoples of the
interiors, like the Cordillerans, and that many peoples live along the coast
and on small islands as they do for many centuries, their daily lives very much
attached to the sea. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">If you close your eyes, you can feel the
movements of the past. From a distance, a part of Manila seemed beautiful, a
light blue strip bristling with a few coconut trees and many buildings, even
pensive. But actually, when the dark comes, horrendous things happen in the
city.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Blood on Philippine
earth<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">We woke up after more than a year and realized
more than 13,000 people were murdered. It has been more than year now since
President Rodrigo Duterte launched his so-called war on drugs, which mainly
constitutes the killing of drug suspects without giving them due process. These
blatant violations on human rights the president himself endorsed in many of
his expletive-filled and sexist speeches. What is more chilling is that
millions of Filipinos are cheering this policy and even expressing approval and
satisfaction, and policemen get to kill people, who are immediately dismissed
as drug users or pushers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The second week of August is the bloodiest week
in the war on drugs with more than 80 murdered in Manila, Bulacan and Cavite.
Among them is a 17-year-old student named Kian de los Santos, who became sort
of a tipping point.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Condemnations, expressions of outrage and
indignation, denouncements from the Catholic church, educational institutions,
civic organizations, artists, cultural workers, writers and other groups poured
in. This has been the most brutal and crudest administration that I have
witnessed so far. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">From the onset, I hesitated from calling the
whole thing what it is, but it is what it is—evil, pure evil. Despite the heavy
rains, I joined hundreds at the People’s Power Monument along EDSA to protest.
Here, we cried, expressed outrage and tried to reclaim our humanity for the
country. We should have not allowed this in the first place, and the fight is
not over.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">In Cuartero, an
interior town of Capiz, near the center of Panay Island, a drab covered court
blossomed into a makeshift museum, gallery, art space and venue for
performances and discussions for a few days, showcasing the cultures,
traditions, attractions and creativity of the Christianized ethnic groups of
Western Visayas in central Philippines—the Hiligaynon, Kiniray-a and
Aklanon—some unknown even within the region itself. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">There was a display of
Cuartero’s cultural and natural sites of interest, photographed by budding
photographers and made into postcards. The group from the town of Balete, in
Aklan, brought in a loom to demonstrate the weaving of the fine fibers of the
pineapple leaves into the <i>piña</i> fabric
by its master weaver Raquel Eliserio. Hand-woven cotton fabrics from Miag-ao,
Iloilo, were laid out in a bright and colorful spread. Pieces of embroidery
from San Jose de Buenavista, the capital of Antique, were framed and mounted
along with artworks. The municipality of Jordan, in the island province of
Guimaras, brought in their <i>tultul</i>,
big rocks of sea salt made in the traditional way in the <i>barangay</i> of Hoskyn, with several handicrafts and their famously
sweet mangoes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Rousing performances
enlivened the evening. A group from Antique mounted a dramatic retelling of its
famous legend about the coming of the ten Bornean <i>datus</i>. Cuartero presented its Sayaw kay San Antonio de Padua, a
dance for its patron saint characterized by young women dancing around a pole
and holding multi-colored ropes until the ropes interweave around the pole with
their movements, very similar to the Germanic maypole dance. Other towns
presented dances highlighting their own traditions, melding folk movements and
contemporary choreography. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">These were the products
and creations of about 150 youth, students, teachers, cultural masters and
artist-trainers from different parts of Panay Island—Balete, Aklan; Miag-ao,
Iloilo; San Jose de Buenavista, Antique; Jordan, Guimaras; and Cuartero, Capiz—gathered
here for the Panakayon Culture and Arts Camp, held from June 30 to July 2,
2017, the culmination of a series of workshops, lectures and cultural
immersions held in these areas since January 2017. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Initiated and organized
the Sigmahanon Foundation for Culture and Arts (SFCAI), a cultural organization
based in Sigma, Capiz, and supported by the government cultural agency National
Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), the Panakayon workshops are
different from the others with their focus on arts and culture, creativity and
their importance in their communities.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Nestor Horfilla,
grassroots cultural worker. theater director and one of Panakayon’s
facilitators, explained that <i>panakayon</i>
is a word in Hiligaynon, the dominant language in the region, that means
“journey,” to describe the multi-pronged project as a “creative journey of
young artists and culture-sensitive educators.” It also emphasizes the
safeguarding cultural heritage, and the role of culture and the arts in
sustainable development.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">It is often noted that
the levels of consciousness about and appreciation of culture and the arts have
been low in the country, and culture and the arts have often been neglected in
national policies and agenda despite their vital role in national development.
There are numerous endeavors to address this, and many begin with the youth and
the communities and deal with local governments.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> “We
believe this project will not only help the young people and the artisans, but
the whole community as well,” said Alphonsus Tesoro, provincial tourism officer
and head of the NCCA’s Subcommission on Cultural Communities and Traditional
Arts, who hatched the idea in 2015.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Panakayon workshop
series started in Miag-ao, known for its UNESCO-recognized church and
hand-weaving industry, in January 16, followed by Cuartero in February 10 to 14
and Balete from February 16 to 18. The municipality of Jordan had theirs from
May 11 to 13, and San Jose de Buenavista from May 29 to 31. These towns were
preselected and deemed to benefit most from the workshops.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The workshops were
multi-faceted, integrating several disciplines, but all intended to be
culture-based, community-focused and youth-oriented. There were workshops on
photography and journalism, performance and festival management. There were
even workshops on climate-change mitigation and adaptation and disaster-risk
reduction management, the region being frequented by typhoons.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The trainings were
adapted according to the needs of the community. In Jordan, for example, there
was emphasis on festival management and performance because the town expressed
desire of creating their own festival. The workshop produced a festival
management plan, tackling organization, financing and the festival proper,
which they planned to present to the local government.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“We are hoping to
develop creative industries,” Tesoro added.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">He also hoped the
Panakayon project will be instrumental in reviving traditional crafts that have
vanished such as <i>sinamay</i> weaving in
Cuartero. He said they have found artisans who still know how to weave the <i>sinamay</i>, a loosely woven cloth made of
abaca fibers, and they are thinking to ways to document the practice and pass
it on. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The workshops
culminated at the Panakayon Culture and Arts Camp, which aimed to strengthen a
network of artists and cultural workers in the region and to exchange
experiences and insights. The camp also provided opportunities for participants
to refine their strategies in engaging their local government units to support
community-based and culture-focused development programs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The camp mounted an
exhibit called “Mabihonon: Panakayon Traditional Arts and Crafts Exhibition,”
highlighting the cultural richness of the region, and a showcase of
performances. There were also lectures and activities about heritage and its
conservation, and on developing community museums.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The camp provided a
generous glimpse into the cultural richness of Western Visayas. These cultural
products and practices by themselves are already valuable and important in the
lives of the communities, but they’re in danger of being eroded or vanishing as
awareness and appreciation wane. Panakayon endeavored to make people see the
importance of creativity and cultural heritage, injecting a strong consciousness
on and propagating a love for culture and the arts. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">As Panakayon project
concluded, a second phase is being prepared, which will continue the initial
efforts, as well as tackle how cultural efforts can be sustained and strategize
on incorporating them more into local governance and daily lives, propelled by
a hope of establishing a sort of “cultural renaissance,” and fomenting
community-based productivity and development.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">About 7,000 people, members of the lesbian,
gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) community, and straight allies,
gathered at the Plaza de los Alcaldes in the city proper of Marikina in the
afternoon of June 24, 2017, for the 2017 Metro Manila Pride March to celebrate
diversity; show solidarity; be visible; assert rights; and call for an end to
discrimination, homophobia, transphobia, bullying, marginalization and other
issues the LGBTQ+ faces.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">It
was the biggest pride march in the country thus far, in terms of attendance. It
was also graced with more visibility from other sectors of the LGBTQ+ and saw
more support from businesses and straight allies.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The Metro Manila Gay Pride March has been held
for twenty-three years now, making it the longest-running in Southeast Asia. It
has been held in December, coinciding with related human rights events such as
Human Rights Week, World AIDS Day (December 1), Philippine National Lesbian Day
(December 8) and International Human Rights Day (December 10), as well as in June,
widely regarded as Pride Month, which started as the commemoration of the
Stonewall riots in New York in 1969, a important moment in the LGBTQ+ struggle.
The marches were held in Manila, Makati City and Quezon City, supported by
local government units. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">This year, Marikina City, at the northeastern
part of Metro Manila, hosted the event, with its mayor Marcelino “Marcy”
Teodoro expressing support to the community and emphasizing acceptance rather
than tolerance. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The 2017 theme, “Here Together,” emphasized
inclusiveness and solidarity—“for family, for friends. For those who march with
us and for those who can’t. For safe spaces, for rights, for love, and for
pride.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The LGBTQ+ pride march is first and foremost a
form of protest as much as it is a celebration. It almost always appears like a
party, and it is a manifestation of the character of many members of the
sector, especially the gay men. They are known for their predilection for
showiness, as well as their ability to transform their plight and adverse
situations into something funny, a coping mechanism as well as a form of
resiliency. But the happiness and gaiety shown at the march are also
manifestations of protest, a show of strength and persistence, rising above
from the many downs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“At its core, pride is protest. It is our small
contribution to help elevate the discourse on how LGBTQ+ rights are human
rights and that each life is as equally important as the next person. While we
always aim for an empowering, affirmative, inclusive, and fun safe space for
all, we always reiterate that pride started as a protest, and that’s what we’ll
always circle back to,” said Loreen Ordoño, a member of the organizing
committee. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Aside from numerous issues the march was
addressing, the passing of the Anti-Discrimination Bill was a major one.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Seventeen years ago, then-Akbayan party-list
representative Etta Rosales filed the first Anti-Discrimination Bill in
Congress. Seventeen years after, <i>andito
pa rin tayo, nagmamartsa para sa pagkakapantay-pantay at para sa kalayaang
umibig</i>,” said Risa Hontiveros, an activist, a long-time ally of the LGBTQ+
movement and currently a senator.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The bill is now in the senate, a major
achievement.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">A keynote speaker of the pride march,
Hontiveros continued, “We celebrate Pride this week remembering that the issues
we marched for decades ago are the same issues now. We hear of kids getting
bullied in school, of trans people refused of employment, of gay people heckled
on the streets. In an independent study by the UNDP, in the first half of 2011
alone, 28 LGBT-related killings were reported in the country,” she continued.
“These numbers are extremely alarming. They represent a deadly and irrational
prejudice against those who do not conform to the traditional notion of sexual
identity and orientation and a deep-seated hate that we refuse to acknowledge
and address. For a country seen by many as liberal and tolerant of different
views, the Philippines still has a long way to go in protecting the rights and
lives of the LGBT community.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">She also criticized the national government and
President Rodrigo Duterte, known for his sexist speech and disdain of human
rights: “The Duterte government’s attitude towards this problem is also
troubling. While many governments chose to respond positively and pro-actively
to this issue, the Philippine government has chosen to default. In the recent
vote in the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) to retain the
Independent Expert on Discrimination and Violence against LGBTIQs, the
Philippines abstained. Citing our lack of policy against discrimination, the
Duterte government has chosen to renege on our human rights obligations. We let
hate win.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">She continued: “The macho-politics of Duterte
have failed LGBT hopes. While he paraded himself as an ally during the campaign
season, promising same-sex marriage in the Philippines, he turned back on his
promise not one year into his term. The change he promised became an endless
parade of strongman tactics that preyed on the vulnerable. This is why today,
my brothers and sisters, we march. We assert the safe space of your community
and celebrate the struggle under the banner of equality.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“We march for Jennifer Laude who was murdered
in a classic trans-panic excuse. We march for Jake Zyrus, ridiculed by many for
his brave transition. We march for the kids who get bullied in school. We march
for those who can’t,” Hontiveros stated. “Friends, love is the currency of our
struggle. Love trumps hate. Love will win. <i>Mga
kasama</i>, we will win.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Aside from Hontiveros, another major
personality who marched and showed support to the community was iconic actress
Nora Aunor. Unlike those in other countries, especially the United States,
where many celebrities show solidarity with the LGBTQ+, the local march is
almost always devoid of showbiz personalities. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“<i>Ang tao
iba’t iba ang kulay. Lahat pantay-pantay. Lahat may karapatan magmahal anuman
ang kasarian nila</i> (People are of different colors. All are equal. All have
the right to love anyone, whatever the gender),” Aunor said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">While not present, other celebrities expressed
support through social media such as Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach, actress
Saab Magalona, singer Jake Zyrus (formerly known as Charice Pempengco) and
designer Francis Libiran. Vice President Leni Robredo made a video message for
the march, expressing encouragement, becoming the first high-ranking government
official to express support for the march.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The Metro Manila Pride March events started at
12 noon with the opening of the Proud Street Fair, showcasing LGBTQ+ and
LGBTQ-friendly enterprises. Official Pride merchandises were made available, as
well as clothing, accessories, souvenirs and memorabilia, and food. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Sebastian’s
Ice Cream sold rainbow popsicles and Moonleaf Tea Shop offered its special Love
Equality drink. Precious Pages showcased its Pride Lit, said to be the first
imprint dedicated to LGBTQ+ stories, which publishes mostly romance and comics.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The march itself began at four in the afternoon
and went around the Marikina City Hall complex. The participants mostly came
from different organizations, most of which were LGBTQ+. There were arts and
culture groups, faith-based organizations, grassroots and community
organizations, human rights advocacy groups, civil society organizations,
support groups and student groups. There was even a group of deaf LGBTQ+.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Marchers came from different parts of Metro
Manila, as well as from other parts of the country including as far as General
Santos City.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The biggest contingent came from businesses
including multinational companies such as Telus International Philippines,
Concentrix, IBM, American Express, Thomson Reuters and Shell Pilipinas. Marches
in previous years were mostly composed of non-governmental organizations and
supportive individuals. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“We could not get a single corporate sponsor
before,” said Lara Sia, co-founder of Side B, an organization of bisexuals, who
had helped organize past marches.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Sia is also a training Leader with Concentrix
for four years now. The business process outsourcing (BPO) company debuted in
this year’s Pride March. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Concentrix is one of biggest BPO in the country
with about 22,000 employees and 65 clients, according to Sia, who was in the
march to push for diversity and inclusion in the corporate level and
recognition in the national level, among others.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Hazel Ludovice, straight ally, regional
marketing and corporate communications Leader of Concentrix, and an executive
committee member of the company, pushed for their participation in the march.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“The BPO [industry] in general, specifically
Concentrix, is supportive of the LGBTQ+ community. For us it’s really about
diversity. We don’t really care about your sexual orientation. What’s important
to us is delivering quality work to our clients,” she said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">It is notable that all of the participating
businesses were international ones, many of which were BPOs. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“I think it’s because we’re open-minded,” said
Ludovice. “We believe in gender equality, and also the capability of each
person to contribute, not measuring them on their sexual orientation.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“A lot of the BPOs have global bases. When the
global base supports diversity and inclusion, that trickles to the
Philippines,” Sia explained. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">With the participation of businesses, there was
also a significant increase of participation among straight people. Previously,
straight people and businesses stayed away from the Pride March like it’s a
plague, careful not to be suspected of being gay as if it is the dirtiest of
stains. Now, the climate is freer, more positive and more understanding,
encouraged by visibility of straight allies in other parts of the world. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">While the previous years’ marches were known to
have numerous drag queens and trans women, this year saw more visibility from
other sectors such as the trans men. There were also many first-timers who
posted photos and experiences, ranging from the jubilant to the inspiring, in
their social media accounts, and the Pride March’s Facebook page. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">A show and party were held after the parade,
featuring several performers including impersonators Divalicious Mariah,
Gorgeous Dawn and Lady Gagita; garage punk group Flying Ipis; indie folk rock
artist TheSunManager; <i>The Voice of the
Philippines</i> semi-finalist Rita Martinez; Theater in Alternative Platforms,
which is known for its “<i>Ampalaya</i>
Monologues;” spoken word group Words Anonmous; and poet Wanggo Gallaga.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">This year’s Metro Manila Pride March was,
indeed, the biggest in many aspects. It is heartening to see that many
Millennials joined, marched and celebrated, picking up the cudgels from their
predecessors of activists. Most likely, the magnitude is a result of years of
indefatigably advocating and voicing out for LGBTQ+ rights despite being
ignored; being inspired by the positive developments in the LGBTQ+ struggle
around the world; and the current state of uncertainty and of disregard and
mocking of human rights, galvanizing the community. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">A small group of evangelicals preaching sin and
doom was also present as usual, and there was threat of rain, but they remained
at the fringes, their increasingly angry voices inundated by show of love, and
the rain just came as a light drizzle to lessen the heat. Instead, the heaven
culminated the day with rainbows. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="Bodytext">
<span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.15pt;">Restaurants offering Filipino
dishes have been popping up in recent years, offering exciting versions and
twists and reinvigorating interest in local food. These include Crisostomo,
Alab, Arroz Ecija, Dekada, Sangkap, 7107 Culture + Cuisine, Locavore, Sarsa,
Alamat Filipino Pub and Deli, Neil’s Kitchen and Crisp on the 28th, among
others.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext">
<span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">Adding to the vibrancy of the local
food scene is Salu, the Filipino restaurant of showbiz couple, who turned
restaurateurs, Romnick Sarmenta and Harlene Bautista, which opened on </span><st1:date day="9" month="6" year="2016"><span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">June 9, 2016</span></st1:date><span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">, in the <i>barangay</i> of
Sacred Heart in </span><st1:city><st1:place><span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">Quezon City</span></st1:place></st1:city><span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">, a couple
blocks away from the restaurant and bar strip along </span><st1:street><st1:address><span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">Tomas
Morato Avenue</span></st1:address></st1:street><span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext">
<span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">The name of the restaurant was
derived from the Filipino term <i>salu-salo</i>, meaning “a get-together or
gathering over food,” or “a feast being shared,” and this is the atmosphere it
desires to conjure — where family and friends get together for food. It starts
with the homey atmosphere, which owes to the fact the restaurant was originally
an old residence. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext">
<span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">The menu is ample, culling classic
dishes from different parts of the </span><st1:country-region><st1:place><span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">Philippines</span></st1:place></st1:country-region><span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">, such as
the <i>balbakwa</i> from the Visayas and the <i>tiyulang itim</i> from </span><st1:place><span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">Mindanao</span></st1:place><span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">. While
there are the popular dishes such as the <i>sinigang</i> and <i>adobo</i>, Salu
offers a number of dishes of Luzon that are unfamiliar to urban diners,
collected from different provinces. It also offers “regional fusions,” two
dishes from different areas fused together. One fusion dish is the <i>binagoongang
lechon kare-kare</i>, nicknamed </span><st1:stockticker><span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">BLK</span></st1:stockticker><span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">. Another is
the <i>adobo laing</i>. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext">
<span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">Sarmenta and Bautista said they are
glad that their restaurant has been received enthusiastically, and it has been
a fruitful year. They are proud that they forged tie-ups with organizations
such as Hashtag </span><st1:country-region><st1:place><span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">Philippines</span></st1:place></st1:country-region><span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;"> through
Antoinette Taus, through which about 300 children are fed every event with Salu
packed lunches that come with love notes from volunteers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext">
<span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">They are particularly proud of their
participation at the Madrid Fusion Manila 2016, a major food event. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext">
<span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">“We are grateful to be chosen by DoT
ARMM (Department of Tourism Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao), headed by
Ayesha Mangudadatu Dilangalen, to represent their region at the prestigious
Madrid Fusion. We have built this brand to be the culinary authority when it
comes to all things Filipino. And being chosen to participate in such
convention was an affirmation that indeed we somehow are in the right path of
meeting our mission,” Bautista said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext">
<span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">During the Madrid Fusion Manila
2016, they prepared <i>pampa</i>, beef <i>kulma</i>, <i>syagul pagi, utak utak</i>
and <i>pyanggang</i>, among others.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext">
<span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">“Hopefully, on </span><span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.3pt;">our second
year, we can serve more authentic plates and continue to be a portal for all
guests to discover all the flavors of this country, especially those that are
still undiscovered,” Bautista </span><span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">added.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext">
<span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">To celebrate Salu’s first year, they

<span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">The restaurant opened their anniversary
month with a promo of buy-one-take-one of their </span><st1:stockticker><span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">BLK</span></st1:stockticker><span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">. On June
11, they had A Piso for <i>Brazo de Kalabasa</i>, where the first 100 guests
got to buy their popular dessert for a peso for every purchase of P500.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext">
<span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">“<i>Masarap at nakakataba ng puso
ang aming unang taon</i>. So we thought, why not give thanks and extend to our
customers those blessings that we earned because of their trust through these
simple promos. These two dishes, </span><st1:stockticker><span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">BLK</span></st1:stockticker><span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;"> and <i>Brazo
de Kalabasa</i>, are our top moving dish and desert on our first year. So it’s
fitting to grant a one of a kind treat with buy-one-take-one and a one-peso
dessert, as we turn one,” shared Sarmenta. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext">
<span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">For their second year, they are
unveiling their campaign “#SarapMabuhay,” highlighting the exciting flavors of
the country, as well as the abundance of fresh ingredients and the experience
of the <i>salu-salo</i>. For the campaign, the couple will go on adventures in
search of more dishes to offer at Salu.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext">
<span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">They are also offering the new
Pilipinas Platter, their version of a group feast, giving customers an
opportunity to taste all the specialties from different parts of the </span><st1:country-region><st1:place><span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">Philippines</span></st1:place></st1:country-region><span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">. Also, more
Filipino fusion dishes, under Likhang Salu, will be served and made available
this June.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext">
<span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">On the other hand, their Luto ni
Nanay program gives moms opportunities to cook with the chefs of Salu and learn
how to prepare special dishes for the family. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext">
<span style="font-family: "garamond"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">Diners are encouraged to come in
during this time as the Salu promises more adventures into Filipino cuisine. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Garamond;">The month of June proves to be glorious if
you’re into Philippine cuisine as there are more dining outlets offering local
dishes in celebration of the anniversary of the declaration of Philippine
independence on June 12. Many of these are hotel restaurants, and all of them
have their own interesting takes. Some feature familiar dishes with modern
twists, while others focus on a particular region. Some stick to the
traditional, while some serve the classic favorites. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-hyphenate: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-line-height-alt: 11.0pt; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 11.9pt; vertical-align: middle;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond;">One outlet to try in this month of Filipino
food is F All-Day Dining of the F1 Hotel Manila at the </span><st1:place><st1:placename><span style="font-family: Garamond;">Bonifacio</span></st1:placename><span style="font-family: Garamond;"> </span><st1:placename><span style="font-family: Garamond;">Global</span></st1:placename><span style="font-family: Garamond;"> </span><st1:placetype><span style="font-family: Garamond;">City</span></st1:placetype></st1:place><span style="font-family: Garamond;"> in </span><st1:place><st1:placename><span style="font-family: Garamond;">Taguig</span></st1:placename><span style="font-family: Garamond;"> </span><st1:placetype><span style="font-family: Garamond;">City</span></st1:placetype></st1:place><span style="font-family: Garamond;">. Last June 8, the restaurant formally opened
its “Luzviminda 5: Gastronomical Fusion” food festival with
a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by the hotel’s director of Sales and
Marketing Cindy Brual with the Department of Tourism’s Assistant Secretary
Frederick Alegre, Philippine Economic Zone Authority director general Charito
Plaza, chef Nancy Lumen and Miss Philippines-Earth 2016 Loren Mar Artajos. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Garamond;">As the name suggests, the portmanteau of the
three island clusters of the </span><st1:country-region><st1:place><span style="font-family: Garamond;">Philippines</span></st1:place></st1:country-region><span style="font-family: Garamond;">, the food festival presents samplings of
dishes of </span><st1:place><span style="font-family: Garamond;">Luzon</span></st1:place><span style="font-family: Garamond;">, Visayas and </span><st1:place><span style="font-family: Garamond;">Mindanao</span></st1:place><span style="font-family: Garamond;"> on its buffet spread. This is the fifth year
of “Luzviminda” and it is steadily gaining following. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-hyphenate: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-line-height-alt: 11.0pt; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 11.9pt; vertical-align: middle;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond;">Every year, the hotel features different chefs
to interpret Filipino dishes, and this year it has Mikel Zaguirre (of the new
restaurant Locavore) to do the Luzon cuisines; Dennis Uy of Meximama for the
Visayas; and Kalel Chan of Museum Café, who will take on Mindanao dishes. These
chefs work with the hotel’s executive chef Decker Gokioco, but they have a free
hand on how to present their menus. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-hyphenate: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-line-height-alt: 11.0pt; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 11.9pt; vertical-align: middle;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond;">For his dishes, Zaguirre carefully researched
heirloom recipes and made little adjustments for the modern palate — a little
updating. </span><st1:place><span style="font-family: Garamond;">Luzon</span></st1:place><span style="font-family: Garamond;"> dishes are characterized by the use of
coconut milk, especially in the southern part, and the penchant for a variety
of tastes such as sweetness, saltiness and sourness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-hyphenate: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-line-height-alt: 11.0pt; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 11.9pt; vertical-align: middle;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond;">Uy, who gets culinary inspirations from his
travels around the countr<span style="letter-spacing: -.2pt;">y, tends to blend
different flavors, but mainly sticks to the classic recipes. He likes
traditional dishes p</span>lated in modern and innovative ways. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-hyphenate: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-line-height-alt: 11.0pt; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 11.9pt; vertical-align: middle;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond;">Being an island groups itself, the Visayas is
known for seafood and the use of ginger to temper the <i>lansa</i> (fishy

</span><st1:place><span style="font-family: Garamond;">Cebu</span></st1:place><span style="font-family: Garamond;"> and pork <i>humba</i>, a perennial favorite.
The <i>humba</i> here is exemplary, very classic and very tasty. The pork is so
tender that the meat shreds as you scoop it out of the pot, blending with the
dried banana blossoms. There is a right amount of sweetness and saltiness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Garamond;">Although not from </span><st1:place><span style="font-family: Garamond;">Mindanao</span></st1:place><span style="font-family: Garamond;">, Chan took on the challenge of learning and
cooking the island’s dishes, researching and asking friends. He got to play

<span style="font-family: Garamond;">One must try the </span><st1:place><span style="font-family: Garamond;">Mindanao</span></st1:place><span style="font-family: Garamond;"> dishes, most of which are unfamiliar to Metro
Manilans and not available in Metro Manila, such as the delectable <i>piyanggang

turmeric and coconut milk; and <i>tiyula itum</i>, another Tausug dish of beef
in soup spiced by turmeric and burnt coconut meat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Garamond;">Overall, modern culinary techniques and
technology are used on traditional recipes, resulting in livelier flavors and
attractive presentations. Fusing is also used, adding another dimension of
cooking Filipino food. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div align="left" class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The Filipino
favorite sour soup, the <i>sinigang</i>, is transformed into finger food,
taking its basic ingredients and preparing them in a different way. Water
convolvulus leaves are coated with batter flavored with tamarind and fried
crisp, then topped with milkfish mousse. The favorite <i>merienda</i> item, <i>pansit
palabok</i>, is packed into fresh rolls and sprinkled with crushed <i>chicharon</i>
from Carcar, Cebu. Then, different kinds of <i>sisig</i> are placed in fried
rice wrappers and topped with garlic aioli.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The <i>Sinigang</i> Bites, <i>Palabok</i> Bites and <i>Sisig</i>
Baskets<i> </i>are just three items to introduce you to a sumptuous spread of
classic Filipino dishes given updates and modern twists; fused with other
dishes; or prepared with different techniques and surprising ways by the
husband-and-wife tandem of chefs, Roland and Jackie Laudico.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Just in time for
the celebration of the 119<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the declaration of
Philippine independence on June 12, and highlighting to the growing interest on
Filipino foods in the United States, the Waterfront Group of Hotels is
featuring Laudico creations in its all-day dining outlet Uno, which offers
international buffet and ala-carte dining. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The food
festival, “Uno’s Modern Filipino Taste: A Filipino Feast for All Senses,” will
be at the Waterfront Airport Hotel and Casino Mactan in Lapu Lapu City on
Mactan Island, from June 8 to August 31, 2017, and at the Waterfront Cebu City
Hotel and Casino in Lahug, from June 9 to August 31. It will then be brought to
Waterfront Insular Hotel in Davao City in August.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Waterfront has
been promoting itself as a prominent gastronomic hub in Cebu City, intensifying
into this food festival. It chooses the Manila-based Laudicos for their
reputation for innovating on classic Philippine cuisine. The Laudicos have been
in the catering and restaurant business for seventeen years, earning a popular
reputation. They have been in television shows and chosen to endorse several
products. Their culinary careers are crowned with the opening of their own
restaurant, Guevarra’s, in San Juan City, Metro Manila.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The Laudicos
have professed an advocacy of championing Filipino cuisine, which is currently
gaining traction in the United States. They are glad that Filipino food is
getting noticed and predicted that it will continue.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">For the
Waterfront festival, the Laudicos have prepared about sixty dishes, to be
featured in Uno’s buffet spread in rotation. These include their signature ones
and their takes on popular Cebuano dishes. Many of the dishes are conversation
pieces because of their novelty.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The appetizers
are curious and delightful. Aside from their deconstruction of <i>sinigang,
palabok</i> and <i>sisig</i>, they have the <i>Kinilaw</i>
Spoons, local ceviche with <i>kalamansi</i> juice, spices and capsicum
emulsion, served on spoons; the Pinoy Maki, <i>maki</i> topped with bigeye scad
or <i>matambaka</i> flakes; and Balut Napoleon Shots, pureed duck embryo.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Popular chef
Tristan Encarnacion has recently joined the Waterfront food-and-beverage team
and contributed the <i>danggit</i> macaron, macaron with <i>laing</i> and dried
rabbit fish mousse and shrimps, with is intriguing with the blending of the
sweet, the salty and the fishy. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The main dishes
featured interesting fusions such as <i>pinaupong nilasing na manok </i>and the
kimchi<i> pinangat</i>, the Bicol dish of taro leaves and smoked fish cooked in
coconut milk with kimchi. The <i>Kaldereta</i>
Pie is <i>kaldereta</i> prepared like shepherd’s pie or more accurately, spicy
lamb stew topped with mashed potato and cheese. The San Miguel battered fish
with <i>buro</i> cream is fish dipped in batter using San Miguel Beer and
served with creamy fermented rice sauce.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">In experimenting
with Cebuano dishes, the Laudicos have come up with such things as the <i>Ngohiong</i> Cones, the fried rolls, popular
as street food, served in fried conical wrappers; and the <i>nilagang</i>
bouillabaisse, updated version of the Cebuano fish soup. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The <i>pochero</i>
corn chowder is beef stew with corn puree and the fried <i>humba</i> is a drier
version of the popular Visayan and sweetish version of the adobo. The <i>Balbacua</i> Uno is slow-cooked oxtail, beef
knuckles and skin, and the <i>Puso</i>
Surprise is the <i>puso</i>, rice cooked in packets of woven coconut leaves
ubiquitous on Cebu streets, but prepared with a sparse filling of meat and
peanuts sauce, similar to Batangas <i>tamales</i>. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">These
innovativeness spill into the dessert spread which has <i>biko</i> made into
balls, <i>suman</i> into panna cotta, cream puffs that are actually <i>bicho-bicho</i>
with <i>yema</i> and the cheesecake using <i>queso de bola</i>. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div align="left" class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The looks of
these Filipino dished may be different but the flavors are very recognizable.
The Laudicos have defamiliarized Filipino cuisine that makes us look at it in a
different way and makes the Filipino feast a dining experience that allows
surprises, discovery and delight.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-font-width: 100%;">The last time I was in Roxas City, Capiz, it was in late
April 2017 to attend the provincial festival, Capiztahan, a flurry of events which
included the inauguration of the new annex of Ang Panublion: The Roxas City
Museum. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -.2pt; mso-font-width: 100%;">Ang Panublion, which sits on Hughes
Street, very near the Roxas City Hall, and in the charming city center with its
old government buildings, royal poinciana trees and old bridge spanning the
Panay River, is one of the more handsome little museums I have been to outside
Metro Manila. My interest was bolstered by the fact that the structure was
originally the city’s water tank, repurposed as a repository of cultural
treasures and stories.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -.1pt; mso-font-width: 100%;">The water tank was constructed in
1910 under the administration of Pastor Alcazar, the third president (1908 to
1912) of the town of Capiz, former name of Roxas City. It was a circular
structure that stood 6.10 meters, with a diameter of 11.5 meters. Its wall was
27.5-centimeter thick. The tank was used to store water, siphoned from the
nearby municipal building, for the dry season. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-font-width: 100%;">The water tank survived World War II intact, but the
municipal hall was destroyed. Office buildings were built around the tank,
engulfing it completely with only a water spout remained as a visible reminder.
Over time, many residents of Roxas City forgot about the old water tank.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-font-width: 100%;">The city would then have a new and efficient water system,
through the efforts of its congressman Gerardo “Dinggoy” Roxas, Jr. (1986 to
1993).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -.1pt; mso-font-width: 100%;">The water tank was only seen again
after three decades after the office structures were torn down in 1993. The
then city government and concerned citizens thought of converting it into a
museum. Ang Panublion: The Roxas City Museum was opened on April 14, 2012, its
name the Hiligaynon word for “keeper of precious things.” Managed and
maintained by the United Capizenos Foundation-One Capiz, the museum houses
artefacts, memorabilia, and crafts and everyday things from old eras. It tells
the history and culture of the province and its peoples, the predominant Hiligaynon
and the Panay Bukidnon. It also memorializes Capiz’s prominent citizens such as
Manuel Acuña Roxas, the fifth president of the Philippines; and National
Artists Jovita Fuentes and Daisy Hontiveros-Avellana. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-font-width: 100%;">Ang Panublion has become a favorite tourist destination.
However, the structure proved too small for its growing collections. This year,
its annex was unveiled, where some of the museum’s holdings were transferred.
It also houses a new item—Roxas’s presidential car. The car is a 1940 Fleetwood
Cadillac 75 limousine, imported for his inauguration on July 4, 1946, with a
wheelbase of 3.58, and powered by a 5.6-liter V8, producing 135 horsepower. The
car was used from his inauguration until his death on April 15, 1948. The car
was taken into custody by the National Historical Institute (presently the
National Historical Commission of the Philippines), and then transferred it to
the President Manuel Acuña Roxas Foundation. It was restored in 2014 by Frank
Koh and Alex Claudio of Route 66, costing about P1.8 million, shouldered by the
foundation with assistance from the NHCP. The car was part of an exhibit
commemorating Roxas’ 69th death anniversary, and tracing the Roxas family in
Capiz from the late 1800s until present time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-font-width: 100%;">Ang Panublion will continue to provide sustenance to the
province’s cultural life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">In the late afternoon of
April 23, 2017, Villareal Stadium in Roxas City, Capiz, bustled with eager
spectators and harried but high-spirited performers in vibrant costumes of
traditional attires, monsters and glittering gowns. One by one, the performing
groups, representing their towns, roused the crowds with music and dances depicting
the stories and cultures of their towns in the first street dancing event of
the Capiztahan, the Western Visayan province’s festival.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Capiztahan, portmanteau of <i>Capiz</i> and <i>kapistahan</i>,
meaning “feasting” or “fiesta,” was held this year from April 21 to 23 to
celebrate the province’s foundation anniversary. It was moved from its usual
dates of April 14, 15 and 16, because of this year's observance of the Holy
Week. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> The festival commemorated the establishment of a civil
government in the area in April 15, 1901, during the American colonial era,
from being an <i>encomienda</i> during the
Spanish colonial time. Capiz is one of the four provinces on Panay Island in
central Philippines. Like its adjacent province Iloilo, its people is
predominantly Hiligaynon, with communities of Panay Bukidnon in the interior
upland areas. The festival is one the province’s way of showing its
distinction. Incorporated also into the festival is the commemoration of the
death anniversary Manuel Acuña Roxas, who became the Philippines’ president,
after whom the capital is named, and is one of the province’s most illustrious
citizens.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> But history is just a launching pad for gathering
together, merriment and spectacle. Capiztahan is mostly a motley of events and
activities, many of which have become de-rigueur features of contemporary
Philippine festivals. In the recent one, there were sports events such as <i>arnis</i>, basketball, bowling and triathlon
tournaments, and gatherings for different sectors of the community. The fair and
the night market showcased local products. There were band performances and
contest, and night entertainment. Of course, the beauty pageant Mutya sang
Halaran sa Capizatahan was also much anticipated. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Several events allowed people to experience local culture;
some, though unoriginal, were done with Capiznon flavor and flair. A new annex
of the Paranublion: The Roxas City Museum was inaugurated. The five-year-old Pasundayag
Capisnon, formerly called Parade of Lights, enlivened the streets with dancers
in costumes studded with lights and floats of lights, depicting sea creatures.
Fiesta Capiznon was a communal feasting, where guests and visitors were invited
to partake of the food in a Philippine fiesta tradition, but this was made
grander with large piles of seafood, such as oyster, shrimp, prawn, crab and
squid, laid out on the tables, attesting to the province’s promotion of being
the “Seafood Capital of the Philippines.” The Palumbaanay Sportsfest
incorporated traditional games as well as aspects of traditional crafts such as
<i>nipa</i>-thatch making, net mending and
rice pounding, while the Baroto Race on Panay River used the local boats.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Local culture was also displayed in eye-catching manner
in its street dancing event. The street dancing parade and competition has
become an indispensable feature in contemporary Philippine festivals, the main
event that not only enthralls audiences, but also offers glimpses of the place’s
culture and history through dance dramas and spectacle. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> For the first time this year, Capiztahan featured a
street dancing parade and competition, called Sadsad Capiz, where the
province's capital city and sixteen towns participated, sending their
contingents.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Capiz’s apprehension in holding the Sadsad was brought
about by the enduring popularity of the festivals of its neighboring provinces—the
Dinagyang Festival of Iloilo and the Ati-Atihan of Aklan, both in celebration
of the feast day of the Santo Nino in January—whose street dance events have
become iconic. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> According to provincial tourism officer Alphonsus Tesoro,
there is always the tendency to derive from, to be influenced by and borrow
from Iloilo’s Dinagyang Festival, the region’s most famous festival. The
organizers consciously want to steer the street-dancing look, steps, music and themes
to be uniquely Capiznon, and one cultural resource they are tapping is the
Panay Bukidnon culture. However, while the Panay Bukidnon are indigenous to
Capiz, they are also indigenous in all the provinces of Panay. One can also say
that influence of the Dinagyang Festival is inevitable because both Iloilo and
Capiz are predominantly ethnic Hiligaynon.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Nevertheless, the Sadsad contingents merrily presented
melange of local cultures and cultural influences, which they believe
represented them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "garamond" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> The town of Tapaz
was declared the first-prize winner, depicting a well-known but dying
Panay Bukidnon tradition, the keeping of <i>binukot</i>.
Tapaz is among the three towns of Capiz with Panay Bukidnon populations, which
practiced the choosing of the <i>binukot</i>.
This was shown in the contingent’s dance. The word <i>binukot</i> comes from the word <i>bukot</i>,
meaning “to keep,” “to cover,” or “to hide.” The community chooses a girl and
isolates her from the rest of the community, not allowing to step outside of
the hut to keep her skin fair. She is always veiled, carried on a hammock, and
not allowed to do any chores. She is taught to chant epics and stories, becoming
a keeper of the community’s history and stories.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

intruders by devouring their heads and sucking their blood. They told a story
about a group of hunters who go into the mountain, leaving a trail of destruction.

their leader and kidnaps a member of the group. Villagers organize themselves to
attack the <i>bawa</i>. Upon reaching the
mountain, they discover that the kidnapped hunter is alive and are surprised

the forests and encourage the people to protect the mountain and the forests.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; font-size: 12pt;">A few weeks ago, skirmishes between the military
and the rogue group Abu Sayaff erupted in the towns of Inabanga and Clarin,
jolting the island province of Bohol, a popular tourist destination in central
Philippines.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Garamond;"> After
the incident, security became tight, but it did not dampen the Boholanos'
fiesta spirit, especially in the capital city of Tagbilaran, in the
southwestern part of the province, which celebrated its fiesta on May 1, 2017,
with the Saulog Tagbilaran Festival.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Garamond;"> “Tagbilaran
after the Inabanga incident remains to be safe, but we should remain vigilant
and cautious,” assured Tagbilaran mayor John Geesnell “Baba” Yap, who is
responsible for the resurgence of its local festival. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Garamond;"> He
also emphasized the Boholanos’ love and penchant for celebrating their fiestas.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Garamond;"> “If
it's fiesta time, Boholanos from other places really go home. ‘<i>Pag </i>Christmas
and birthdays, <i>puwedeng hindi umuwi pero ‘pag</i> fiesta, <i>kailangang
umuwi</i>. At heart <i>talaga ang </i>celebration <i>namin sa </i>fiesta,” Yap
related. “From May 1 to 30, open house <i>ang </i>Bohol. <i>Kahit wala kang
dalang pera, buhay ka</i>. You just have to know which town is celebrating its
fiesta.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Garamond;"> The
Philippines generally loves celebrating fiestas. Almost all towns, cities and
even <i>barangays</i> in the country have
their own patron saints, which are honored with fiestas. Fiesta, or the
celebration of a patron saint's feast day, is both a religious and social
affair with masses, processions, devotional practices as well as merriment and
feasting. Almost every house would prepare feasts and invite relatives,
friends, neighbors and even complete strangers to partake of the feast. In
Bohol, feasting lasts for four days—the <i>ante-bisperas</i>, the day before
the eve of the fiesta; the <i>bisperas</i>, the eve of the fiesta; the <i>katumanan</i>,
the day of the fiesta; and the <i>liwas</i>, the day after the fiesta. One can
usually see the delicious <i>humba</i>, a favorite of Boholanos; <i>morcon</i>;
<i>rellenong alimasag; dinuguan; kaldereta</i>; different <i>pansit </i>dishes;
sweets; and, of course, the <i>lechon </i>displayed on tables. The <i>liwas </i>dishes
usually are made from leftovers such as <i>humba </i>again, made more delicious
from re-cooking, and the <i>paksiw na lechon</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Garamond;"> “This
is our culture not only in Tagbilaran but also in Bohol as a whole. We
celebrate fiesta a lot,” Yap affirmed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Garamond;"> In
2013, Tagbilaran's fiesta in honor of its patron Saint Joseph the Worker
expanded to become a festival. A modern concoction, festivals have become
popular in the Philippines, transforming old celebrations or commemorations
such founding anniversaries and feast days into festivals; incorporating old
traditions, which are upheld by the Catholic church; and injecting new events
and activities, mostly spearheaded by the local government, stretching to
several days. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Garamond;"> The
name of Tagbilaran's festival comes from the Cebuano <i>saulog</i>, meaning
“celebration” or “to celebrate.” It is held for several days, culminating on
May 1, the local feast day dedicated to Saint Joseph.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Garamond;"> Yap
said they came up with Saulog Tagbilaran because “we want people to know that
when they come here to Tagbilaran it's our fiesta. Before, there were not that
many activities during fiesta, so we came up with the idea to have street
dancing, to improve the Mutya sa Tagbilaran....”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Garamond;"> "We
also have to promote Tagbilaran City," he added. "When we were in
China, they heard about Tagbilaran because of the Saulog...People know of
Tagbilaran because of the Saulog."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Garamond;"> Festivals
have also become a strong promotional tool in the Philippines. Tagbilaran is
currently strengthening its tourism program. Although it is the gateway to
Bohol, Tagbilaran is often not given much attention by tourists who usually
head to more popular destinations such as the white-sand beaches and resorts of
Panglao Island, the iconic Chocolate Hills in the interior part of the
province, the river cruise in Loboc, the tarsier sanctuary in Corella, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Garamond;"> With
the construction of an international airport on Panglao Island, many residents
feel that Tagbilaran will be ignored with tourists opting to stay in Panglao. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Garamond;"> Yap
is optimistic about the new airport saying that it will better for Tagbilaran.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Garamond;"> “We
can use the land of the airport as a commercial area. We will be able to build
high-rise structures, which is not possible with the airstrip,” he said. “Tagbilaran
is the business area of Bohol, and it will remain so.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Garamond;"> The
city though has several tourism plans. One is the construction of the Friendship
Park in the <i>barangay </i>of Bool, where the Sandugo marker is located, which
will be finished in a few years. Also, the city is promoting its heritage particularly
the cluster of old houses in the <i>sitio </i>of Ubos and the National Museum
branch, which will be relocated to a much bigger space, the refurbished old
capitol building. Then, there is the Saulog Tagbilaran Festival. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Garamond;"> "We
really want Saulog to be really known, just like when you say ‘Sinulog,’ it's
Cebu. We're getting there," Yap said. "It is an opportunity for
people to come here, and post their experiences on their social media accounts.
It is also a way to connect with investors."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Garamond;"> "Of
course, [the Saulog Tagbilaran] is also to thank our patron Saint Joseph, thank
the Lord for the guidance," he added. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Garamond;"> Although
the main components of the Saulog Tagbilaran are new and for spectacle, these
have become ways of showing gratitude and devotion to the saint. One example is
the street dancing event, the most popular segment of Philippine festivals. For
many Tagbilaranons, participating in the street dancing is <i>halad</i>, or
offering, to the saint. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Garamond;"> All
the fifteen <i>barangays</i> of the city
sent their contingents to compete in the recent street dancing parade and
showdown. All of them depicted the devotion and gratitude to Saint Joseph the
Worker along with aspects of local culture. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Garamond;"> To
make the street-dancing their own, Tagbilaran came up with dance steps that
should be incorporated in the dance. The four basic dance steps were derived
from movements in carpentry, in honor of Saint Joseph. These steps are <i>pangurus</i>,
<i>pagsipilya ug pagdukduk, paghalad </i>and <i>pagsaulog</i>. It is inevitable
that most performances are inspired by the showcases at the Sinulog Festival,
which is the most famous festival not only in the region but also of the
country. Many <i>barangays </i>are said to hire choreographers from Cebu City,
which is just seventy-two kilometers away, across the Cebu Strait. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Garamond;"> Still,
the street dancing event highlights many aspects of local culture.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Garamond;"> The
<i>barangay </i>of Manga’s group incorporated the <i>trisikad</i>, bicycle with
sidecar used as commuter vehicle around the <i>barangay</i>, in its
performance, while Mansasa highlighted its being a coastal <i>barangay</i>,
depicting their plans for its coastal resources and the richness of its marine
resources. Dampas's performance focused on and was inspired by the <i>ubi
kinampay</i>, the variety of purple yam said to be the most delicious.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Garamond;"> Interestingly,
Cabawan chose to highlight Bohol's Chinese heritage, showing through dance how
the Chinese arrived in Bohol for trade and intermarried with the natives. It
ended with the declaration that Tagbilaran has become more progressive because
of the presence of Chinese-Filipino families including the Yaps.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Garamond;"> Fourth-place
winner Taloto depicted the religiosity of the Boholanos—a family attending mass
together, showing devotion to San Jose, and passing on the devotion and the
tradition of the fiesta to the next generation. On the other hand, fifth-place
winner Cogon depicted great travails such as earthquakes and other disasters
and the devotion to San Jose that enabled them to survive them. Booy also
showed devotion and faith to San Jose, as well as second-place winner Poblacion
Tres, which showed hope through during hard times.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Garamond;"> Social
issues were also depicted. Poblacion Dos tackled the overseas Filipino workers,
showing a mother who had to leave to work in the Middle East, leaving behind a
husband, who eventually became a drunkard, and a child, who became rebellious.
The mother's faith to San Jose had been unwavering, and everything turned out
okay. On the other hand, Dao showed man's impact on the environment, several
social ills and the importance of education. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Garamond;"> Different
virtues or values were also used as theme. Third-place winner Tiptip extolled
farming and the value of hard work in realizing dreams, while first-place
winner San Isidro showed the beauty of romantic love between man and woman.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Garamond;"> Other
motifs used in the street dancing were manual labor by Poblacion Uno, music by
Bool and the four elements by Ubujan, which was exempted from competing, being
champion for the last three years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Garamond;"> The
productions were impressive and grand, the colors of costumes and props
exploding with the lively steps of the dances, eclipsing and erasing any
apprehensions about conflicts and crises as much as religiosity and merriment
can salve life's trials. Celebration, in a way, is salvation. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The
most recent cultural issue—that of the Torre de Manila controversy—is an ironic
development as the Philippines celebrates National Heritage Month this May.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">During its en banc session on April 25, the
Supreme Court lifted the temporary restraining order (TRO), which it issued on
June 16, 2015, to stop construction of the 49-story residential project Torre
de Manila in Ermita, Manila.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> DMCI Homes’ Torre de Manila caught
the attention of heritage advocates and cultural agencies including the
National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), the government overall
cultural agency, in 2012 when the project had been built high enough to figure
prominently in the background of the historical Rizal Monument. Because of this
visual intrusion, the condominium was dubbed a “photobomber.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The Knights of Rizal filed a petition with the
Supreme Court in September 2014, while the NCCA, relying on the National
Cultural Heritage Act of 2009, issued a cease-and-desist order against the
project in January 2015 because it destroys the monument’s view. On the other
hand, DMCI argued that the P3.6-billion Torre de Manila “does not stand on a
national heritage site” and that the National Building Code “does not prescribe
height limits for buildings.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“The court has no jurisdiction over the subject
matter; the petitioners have no standing to sue; and they (petitioners) stand
to suffer no injury. Furthermore, the court also found that there is no law
that prohibits the construction of the challenged Torre de Manila,” the Supreme
Court said in its latest decision. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The NCCA’s Subcommission on Cultural Heritage
(SCH) expressed dismay on the lifting of the TRO, but tried to see a positive
side.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“The case has shown us that there is wellspring
of support for the protection of our cultural heritage. The public is aware of
the need to protect heritage and the public outcry over the decision shows
this,” said SCH head Fr. Harold Ll. Rentoria, OSA. “This is also a good time to
review our laws that protect heritage and see how they could be strengthened in
order for the NCCA and other government agencies to fulfill the state
obligation to protect, preserve and promote culture. No less than the
Philippine constitution requires that heritage should be preserved.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Moreover, the NCCA continues the
celebrate National Heritage Month this May with the Filipino Heritage Festival,
co-organized with Filipino Heritage Foundation, Inc. headed by its president
Armita B. Rufino and finance officer Araceli R. Salas.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> National Heritage Month came about
with the signing of Proclamation No. 439 on August 11, 2003, declaring the
month of May as National Heritage Month “in recognition of the need to create
among the people a consciousness, respect, and pride for the legacies of
Filipino cultural history, and love of country.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The Filipino Heritage Festival was started in
2003 to celebrate National Heritage Month with an array of events “to bring the
Filipino people to a new awareness of age-old traditions, cultural practices,
song, dance and centuries-old architectural wonders.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“The past years have been a significant upswing
of heritage awareness in our nation. The persistent initiatives of cultural
agencies, non-governmental organizations, and individual cultural advocates and
workers are bearing fruits. Among the most heartening headways are the
increasing number of young cultural advocates and the consistent initiatives of
local government units to integrate the protection and proper use of cultural
heritage in their development plans,” said Fr. Rentoria. “Awareness is but a
step to a higher goal, which is to cultivate in very Filipino the genuine care
for our heritage. Thus, the theme of the 2017 National Heritage Month this May
is ‘<i>Malasakit para sa Pamana</i>’ (care
for heritage).”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The 2017 celebration kicks off in Ormoc City,
Leyte, on May 3, with an opening ceremony. After that, there are numerous events lined
up, spilling into June. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">There will be several performances. Significant
ones include Don Bosco TVET Center Tondo’s musical play <i>Sanctissima</i><b>,</b> about<b> </b>the stories of three miraculous Virgin
Mary images and true miracle stories from Tondo, Manila. Also in celebration of
the 100th anniversary of the apparitions of Fatima, <i>Sanctissima</i> shows on May 2 and 3 at the Tanghalang Aurelio
Tolentino of the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">

to the Filipino heritage, no matter how simple it is, can contribute in
achieving the collective purpose of having all people appreciate, protect and

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif";">Among
other things, we are potently affected and eventually changed by some films we
watch, a theatrical piece, or a painting. That is one power of art in its
different forms. Also, art forms constantly evolve, and they are changed by us,
over time, reflecting our thoughts and shaped by the prevailing modes and
moods, but they remain universal, the old ones affecting us as much as the new
ones. Literature is one of the most powerful arts that change us and the world,
and it is constantly transforming. This power of the written word is
highlighted in this year’s celebration of National Arts Month in April. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US">The National
Commission for Culture and the Arts, the Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino (KWF), and
the National Book Development Board (NBDB) lead in the celebration of National
Literature Month, aptly choosing the theme “Banyuhay,” the Filipino word for “metamorphosis.”
The word was coined by Alejandro G. Abadilla, the father of modern Filipino
poetry, in the 1950s, contracting the phrase “bagong anyo ng búhay,” new form
of life. The theme emphasizes that literature, as a creative endeavor, is also
a political and social institution as well as a force that shapes life and
everyday living. It is a vital instrument that helps us evaluate and implement
right and necessary changes.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US"> For
the whole April, </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif";">literary
and cultural events are lined up to enable us to gain new perspective and
insights, to discover something about us and the world, and to find ways to change
ourselves and the world, as well as to take pleasure in the exquisite beauty of
words, written, oral, performed or transformed into other forms. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif";"> In the couple of years that the National
Literature Month has been celebrated, the commemoration of the greatest Tagalog
poet, Francisco “Balagtas” Baltazar, has become an emerging tradition. Thus,
the month will kick off with the Araw ni Francisco “Balagtas” Baltazar on April
2. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif";">On the 229th birth anniversary of
Baltazar, KWF is monumentalizing his creative deeds as heroism with the theme “Balagtas:
<i>Bayani</i>” (Balagtas: Hero). Indeed, his
sacrifice in creating great literary works leads to the enrichment of us all. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif";">The celebration will kick-off with the
Pambansang Kampong Balagtas 2017, a literary camp that will gather 100
student-writers from all over the Philippines. It will be held from March 31 to
April 2 at the Orion Elementary School in Orion, Bataan, where Baltazar spent a
part of his life. On Balagtas Day, a wreath-laying ceremony will be held at the
barangay of Wawa, where a monument was installed two years ago.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif";">During the camp, outstanding writers
will be honored on April 2 with the conferment of the Gawad Dangal ni Balagtas
and Talaang Ginto: Makata ng Taon. The list of previous inductees in Gawad
Dangal ni Balagtas, an award given by KWF that honors the lifetime achievement
award for writing in Filipino, include esteemed poets Lamberto Antonio (2013),
Teodoro “Teo” Antonio (2014), Rogelio Mangahas (2015), and Jose Maria “Pete”
Lacaba (2016). Since 1963, Talaang Ginto has been giving the best Filipino
poets their due credit. Belonging to the illustrious list of Poets of the Year
(Mga Makata ng Taon) are Lamberto Antonio, Teo Antonio, Rogelio Mangahas, Mike
Bigornia, Ruth Elynia S. Mabanglo, National Artists Virgilio S. Almario,
Cirilio Bautista and Bienvenido Lumbera, among others.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

and to encourage more Filipinos to discover the pleasure of reading. This year,
NBDB will spearhead another Book Fiesta where book lovers and copyright
advocates will be treated to a whole day of festive gathering with a book
market by Philippine publishers and activity/exhibit booths by different book
clubs and writers’ groups. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

that “Philippine literature, written in different Philippine languages, is
associated with the history and cultural legacy of the State, and must be
promoted among Filipinos,” and that “national literature plays an important
role in preserving and inspiring the literature of today and in introducing to
future generations the Filipino values that we have inherited from our

generally, are not much of a reading people, but can be eager audience of
shows, and performances are ways for them to know the works of Filipino
writers. In the last couple of years, spoken-word performances became quite
popular in the country. Poems and monologs on love, recited and acted out on
stage, found avid audiences, most of them young, in theaters and bars.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: CenturyCondensed-ITC; mso-fareast-font-family: CenturyCondensed-ITC;"> Literary
performances are not recent development though. Many literatures in the
Philippines started out being performed, and a prime example is the number of
epics, which are chanted from memory. And throughout history, poetry readings
and performances based on texts have been put up. The traditional performances,
as well as the latest trends are featured in Performatura, which is organized
by CCP Intertextual Division, formerly the CCP Literature Division.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: CenturyCondensed-ITC; mso-fareast-font-family: CenturyCondensed-ITC;"> Performatura
was first held on November 6, 7 and 8, 2015. It was called Performatura
Festival: Performing Literatures, to celebrate National Reading Month. Its aim
was to highlight Philippine literature and its interconnections with other
forms of arts, as well as the connection of artists to their audiences,
according to writer Herminio Beltran Jr., who was one of the brains behind the
festival.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: CenturyCondensed-ITC; mso-fareast-font-family: CenturyCondensed-ITC;"> The
title was coined by the festival director Vim Nadera, a poet who is known for
his performance art. It combines the words performance and oratura. <i>Oratura</i>
was derived from <i>orature</i>, a term coined by Ugandan linguist Pio Zirimu,
who wanted to raise oral literature to the level of written literature. In
Performatura, the intersections of the written word and performance and
intertextuality are emphasized.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

(In and outside my forlorn country), a line from Francisco “Balagtas”
Baltazar’s most famous metrical romance, <i>Florante at Laura</i>. While
featuring works commenting and contemplating on the state of the country, the
theme is really an homage to nineteenth-century poet Baltazar, widely considered
the greatest of Filipino poets, and his immortal contributions to Philippine

based on his life and works called Franciscosplay. It is a contest where
participants must dress up as characters from <i>Florante at Laura </i>and
recite at least three stanzas of the character they are portraying. The cosplay
event will happen in afternoon of April 2, the 229th birth anniversary of
Balagtas, at the CCP’s Little Theater. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

characters they’re playing), costume design, audience impact and delivery (how
well the cosplayer delivered the lines they’ve chosen from <i>Florante at Laura</i>).

paved a way for ramen restaurants, boasting to be authentic and having culinary
heritage, to open branches in the Philippines. Ramen has actually been enjoyed

itself is an international restaurant with Japanese roots. It traces its origin
to Fukuoka, Japan. Wu Maru, a ramen shop, was established in 1953. The
founder’s son Masahiko Teshima took over the business in 1994 and renamed it
Uma Uma Ramen, a play on the original name of the restaurant as well as a pun
on the Japanese word for “tasty.” The restaurant features dishes from old
family recipes as well as dishes found in most </span><i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: CenturyLtCondensed-ITC; mso-fareast-font-family: CenturyLtCondensed-ITC;">izakayas</span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> in Japan.

broth is made from a rich mixture of pork bones, slow cooked to achieve the <i>umami</i> rich and robust flavor Uma Uma has
come to be known for. We’re also very proud of the fact our ramen is
100-percent MSG-free, with natural flavors and proper cooking methods being
adhered to in order to ensure our customers enjoy the very best that can be
offered,” said Russell Yu, director of Iki Concepts Singapore.</span></div>
<div class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Yu
revealed that they had to tweak the flavors of their dishes for the Filipinos
who like them rich, in contrast to Singaporeans who want the flavors a little
toned down. He also said that all ingredients are sourced locally.</span></div>

<div class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“It
was in our plans to release a ramen inspired by local flavors,” Yu explained.
“We have been wanting to have a seafood-based ramen dish. </span><i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: CenturyLtCondensed-ITC; mso-fareast-font-family: CenturyLtCondensed-ITC;">Aligi</span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> was one of the

pretty good but still did not convince him as a chef. He then experimented
making it as a dry ramen—which turned out to be one of the best experiments
that has come out of Uma Uma Philippines’ kitchen.” </span></div>
<div class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Yu
said that another Uma Uma original is the Mazesoba, which was created for the
Singapore restaurants but is also offered in the Philippines. Actually, it was
a such hit that it has been offered also in Japan.</span></div>

And like skin, clothing or attire serves a very practical purpose—as protection against the elements and the everyday assaults of the environment, as comfort from weather when it gets unpleasant, as a form of hygiene. But unlike skin, attire is changeable to suit situations, needs and even whims of the wearers. But attire is also an extension of the self and the society, reflecting culture, aesthetics and tastes, and thus in one way also an extension of the soul. Attire is one of the ways to express identity and to show identification with a group. <br />
Aside from its practical uses, attire, especially the traditional ones, has been one of the most important means of artistic expressions among ethnic groups in the Philippines. Aside from indicating social status, gender and religion in a community, attire also makes manifest the native aesthetics, reflecting sensibility to colors and patterns, penchant for certain designs, and interpretations of everyday life as well as spiritual beliefs. <br />
With more than eighty indigenous groups, there are as much traditional attires, resplendent in their colors, determined by the groups’ preference or their environments, and rich with embellishments, signifying the innate desire to make things beautiful as well as meaningful.<br />
Traditional attire, like the cultures they belong to, is constantly evolving, adopting from other cultures as well as adapting to the times, but often these adopted elements are altered according to the native sense of beauty. <br />
Attire has become a mark of ethnic identity, and perhaps the most obvious and attractive one. With traditional attire, one declares his/her oneness with his/her own people, taking pride in the artistry and heritage that the attire so much holds.<br />
Get a glimpse of different Philippine traditional attires from three indigenous groups—the Kalinga from Luzon, the Panay-Bukidnon from the Visayas, and the Blaan from Mindanao.<br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -.5pt;">From December 15 to 19, 2016,
Cotabato City in the province of Maguindanao celebrated the Shariff Kabunsuan
Festival, which the city in southwestern Mindanao has held for over a decade
now. Although less grand than several festivals in the Philippines, the
celebration had all the components considered de-rigueur in Philippine
festivals, such as a fair, a street-dancing parade and shows, even fashion
events. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Kabunsuan Festival is, in most parts, a secular event. It also has been
consciously imbued with Mindanaoan cultures with nods to Muslim culture, being
in a region of the Philippines where Muslims a have higher concentration than
the rest of the country. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Shariff Muhammed Kabungsuwan or Muhammad Kebungsuwan, widely considered as the
one who introduced Islam to mainland Mindanao, which is now the faith of about
eleven percent of Filipinos, mostly in the Mindanao area. He is said to arrive
in late sixteenth century, an Arab-Malay missionary from Johore, and land on
the banks of the Masla Pulangi, now known as Rio Grande de Mindanao. According
to local accounts, Shariff Kabunsuan established himself as a sultan in
Malabang in what is now Lanao del Sur and married Maguindanao princess
Paramisuli of Dulawan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -.2pt;">One of the highlights of the festival is the
regular re-enactment of his landing on the banks of Rio Grande de Mindanao,
which snakes across the city. This year, a grand parade on December 19 ushered
in the re-enactment, which saw gaily decorated boats traversing the river in a
fluvial parade. It culminated in a grand <i>pagana</i> or communal feasting. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -.2pt;">The city also held a contest on the making of
small </span><i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "CenturyLtCondensed-ITC","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -.2pt; mso-bidi-font-family: CenturyLtCondensed-ITC;">guinakits</span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -.2pt;">, the local term for
“boat,” and the entries, eye-catching and with flags like bright colorful spews
fluttering in the wind, adorned the city hall grounds in the duration of the
festival. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -.2pt;">A bazaar was put up as well as a cooking
competition and a sports event but the night shows at the city plaza were more
interesting. Traditional musics and dances were performed by several ethnic
groups of Mindanao such as the Teduray, Meranaw, Maguindanao, Tausug and Yakan.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -.2pt;">The Kuyog Street Dancing Competition was held on
December 18 where two groups competed, showing the cultures of the peoples of

<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -.2pt;">What made the Shariff Kabunsuan Festival more
interesting that year was the Bangala Fashion Fair, an international fashion
and textile event organized by the Department of Tourism Region 12 and the
local government unit of Cotabato City, in collaboration with the National
Commission on Culture and the Arts, Mindanao Development Authority and the
Bureau of Cultural Heritage of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao. It
showcased a culture that is more ancient than the arrival of Shariff Kabunsuan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -.2pt;">The Bangala, which is a Maguindanao term for

competition, and a heritage forum. It is part of the promotion of the BIMP-EAGA

some participation from the involved countries. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Bodytext">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: -.4pt;">In the past, the Shariff Kabunsuan Festival had a
fashion and textile event such as the Inaul Fashion Showcase, which was mounted
for several years. It featured the hand-woven textile of the Maguindanao. The
fashion and textile event last year was wider in scope.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
