of festivals. With these, it is a fact that the

Filipinos enjoy the celebration and having to
get together. Philippine festivals are very
vast and all depict the culture and tradition
of each of the places. Some festivity takes
place within a day or a week, but some last
an entire month.

- Philippines’ celebration of the fiesta is

mostly religious in nature as this was
because of the influence of the Spanish
colonization. However, some festivity is a
celebration to depict a significant event in
the place’s history or to give thanks for an
abundant harvest.

- Festival dances are cultural dances

performed to the strong beats of percussion
instruments by a community of people
sharing the same culture usually done in
honor of a Patron saint or as a thanksgiving
for a bountiful harvest. Festival dances may
be religious or secular in nature.

- 2 types of Festival dance in the

Philippines:

Religious/Secular festival dances- A

religious festival is a moment of special
significance observed by followers of that
religion. Religious festivals are often
observed in recurrent cycles in the calendar
year or lunar calendar.

Non-religious festival dances- Due to

tradition and culture, is a festival that is
celebrated with enthusiasm and passion
with a group of people or what we call
community. Tourists also join in the
festivities, marveling at the amazing and
creative qualities of the costumes and
props made by the residents.
