Pagsaludo Sa Mga Katutubong Sayaw Susi Sa Pagpapalalim NG Ating Kulturang Pilipino
Attending performances where indigenous dances are on display isn’t just about entertainment; it’s about being
connected to something much deeper and more significant. It’s a way of respecting the wisdom as well as the
creativity of renowned choreographers and artists, while at the same time acknowledging their immense
contributions towards our country. Moreover, realizing that we can be entertained and amazed by dances we
rarely get to learn about in school. By incorporating indigenous dances into our cultural fabric, we strengthen
our society and guarantee their longevity for future generations to see.
It was made even better by how many different kinds there were in the show. Every dance had its own taste,
story – from gentle moves of ‘Pangalay’ to ‘Colorful’ with lively rhythms at the end of the concert. It was a truly
endearing experience that left a lasting impression on me, reminding me of the importance of celebrating
diversity and preserving our cultural heritage with pride and reverence.
Why is it Important for
students to have these events?
It is of paramount importance that indigenous dances and cultures have events for students as they
help in the formation of identity, historical understanding and cultural awareness. By taking part in
these events, students such as myself get to realize the complex identity our nation has, thus
developing an appreciation of the diversity that exists across cultures. These events become a
source of pride and affirmation that there is really more to our country, making them become even
more attached to their own ‘Pinoy’ culture. Moreover, attendance at such events supports the
preservation and rejuvenation of indigenous cultural practices while also fostering social justice by
challenging political ideologies and discrimination. In summary, through the AlunAlun Dance Circle
led by Miss Ligaya, there were experiences that enable personal growth among students towards
comprehending life better within the global context with regard to diverse cultures.
Personally after the event, it made the students to be proud of being a Filipino and to ‘angkinin ang
sarili nating kultura’.
