Pitong libong pulo ang ginawa
Mga hiyas na inilatag
Sa malasutlang dagat
At ang bayan nyang pinili
Nasa dulo ng bahag-hari
Kaya't isang libong kulay
Nang aakit kumakaway

Piliin mo rin ang Pilipinas

Kapuluang kwintas ng perlas
Piliin mo yakapin mo
Kayamanan nyang likas
Piliin mo ang Pilipinas

But before I reveal the six festivals, I

will group you into 6 groups. This activity
is called “Team Learning”.

I will give an envelope each group.

Inside the envelopes are sets of Festivals
with keywords. I will play a video then I
want you to observe each video to
determine what festival is being presented.
The group who will identify the video that

subli which a combination of tagalog word
subsub and bali meaning to bent or in a
crouching position. Like this.

- Sublian came from the word subli,
a combination of the words

the mother of all festivals in the
Philippines. It is a feast held annually in
honor of Sto. Nino in the island of Kalibo,
Aklan. The celebration begins in the 3rd
week of January.

Is there anyone who knows the

meaning of Ati-atihan?

That’s right! The meaning of Ati-

atihan is “to be like aetas” or “make
believe in atis”.

Ati-atihan is a celebration of pact
between Spaniards and Aetas. Do you
have an idea why?
That’s correct! Spaniards brought
Sto. Nino in the Philippines.
They yell “Viva Sto. Nino” meaning
“Mabuhay Sto. Nino” and “Hala Bira”
means cheer a person to give it all he’s
got.
Again, when and where does Ati-
atihan celebrate?

Kadayawan Festival. Kindly read.

Davao and it came from the word “
madayaw”, a friendly greeting of
Davaoenios.

God. So they honor Manama the supreme
being and Bulan the moon God.

- This Sinulog dance is now the

traditional ritual dance in honor of
Santo Niño. The dance is
accompanied by the sound of the
drums while the dancers move two
steps forward followed by one step
backward.

- Shouting is necessary because the

pilgrims have to be sure that they
will be heard by the Santo Niño.
“Pit Señor! Señor Santo Niño,
Manoy Kiloy...." means “to call
upon, ask and plead. Thank you
for the baby boy”
