MUSIC FOLK SONG

Nabasag Ang Banga


This is a song from the sarswela Dalagang Bukid (1919) made famous by National Artist Atang
de la Rama. Music by Leon Ignacio. Lyrics by Hermogenes Ilagan.
May isang dalagang nagsalok ng tubig
Kinis ng ganda nya'y hubog sa nilatik
Ano at pagkakaibig ng lumapit
ang isang binatang makisig
Wika ng dalaga'y, "Wag kang magalaw"
Tugon ng lalaki, "Ako'y kaawaan"
Sagot ng babae, "Wag kang mamwisit"
Sambot ng binata, "Ako'y umiibig."
CHORUS:
Ano ang nangyari?
Nabasag ang banga
'Pagkat ang lalaki ay napadupilas
Kaya't ang babae lalo't umiiyak
habang ang sinasabi ay
sila'y napahamak
Ang kinasapitan pagdating ng bahay
"Ano't umiiyak?" tanong ng magulang
Sagot ng dalaga, "Ay mangyari po, Itay
ako ay tinakot ng isang aswang.
Nang sasabihin kong wag magalaw
agad niyang inagaw ang banga kong tangay
kaya nga po't ako'y umuwing walang dalang tubig
at pati na ang baro'y napuno ng putik."
Repeat CHORUS

ARTS FESTIVAL
The Sinulog festival is one of the grandest, most distinguished and most colorful festivals in the
Philippines. The major festival is held each year on the third Sunday of January in Cebu City to
honor the Santo Nio, or the child Jesus, who used to be the patron saint of the whole province
of Cebu (since in the Catholic faith Jesus is not a saint, but God). It is fundamentally a dance
ritual which remembers the Filipino people's pagan past and their recognition of Christianity.
The festival features some the country's most colorful displays of ceremony and pageantry:
participants clothe in bright-colored costumes dance to the rhythm of drums and native gongs.
The streets are generally lined with vendors and pedestrians all wanting to witness the streetdancing. Smaller versions of the festival are also held in different parts of the province, also to
celebrate and honor the Santo Nio. There is also a Sinulog sa Kabataan, which is performed by
the youths of Cebu a week before the Grand Parade.
Recently, the cultural event has been commercialized as a tourist attraction and instead of
traditional street-dancing from locals, Sinulog also came to mean a contest highlighting groups
from various parts of the country. The Sinulog Contest is traditionally held in the Cebu
City Sports Complex, where most of Cebu's major provincial events are held.
The Festival
The celebration traditionally lasts for nine days, ending on the ninth day when the Sinulog Grand
Parade reveals. The day before the parade, the Fluvial Procession, a water-parade, held at dawn
from the Mandaue City wharf to Cebu City wharf with the Santo Nio carried on a pump boat
decorated with hundreds of flowers and candles. The procession ends at the Basilica where a reenactment of the Christianizing of Cebu follows. In the afternoon, a more formal procession
takes place along the major streets of the city, which last for hours due to large crowd
participating in the religious event.
On the feast day, at the Basilica, a Pontifical Mass is held, given by the Cardinal with the
assistance of several bishops of Cebu. The majority of the citys population and devotees would
flock to the Basilica to attend the mass before heading out to the streets to watch the Parade.
'Sinulog' comes from the Cebuano adverb sulog which is "like water current movement," which
proficiently describes the forward-backward movement of the Sinulog dance. Traditionally, the
dance consists of two steps forward and one step backward, done to the sound of the drums. The
dance is classified into Sinulog-base, Free-Interpretation, and recently a Latin Category, which
most people have argued that it had nothing to do with Sinulog tradition. Candle vendors at the
Basilica continue to perform the traditional version of the dance when lighting a candle for the
customer, usually accompanied by songs in the native language.

P.E. FOLK DANCE


The Tinikling
The Tinikling is considered by many to be the Philippines' national dance. The dance's
movements imitate the movement of the tikling bird as it walks around through tall grass and
between tree branches. People perform the dance using bamboo poles. The dance is composed of
three basic steps which include singles, doubles and hops. It looks similar to playing jump rope,
except that the dancers perform the steps around and between the bamboo poles, and the dance
becomes faster until someone makes a mistake and the next set of dancers takes a turn.

Environmental conditions can affect human health; less widely known is that health care
can also affect the environment.Improvements in human health, such as reduced mortality, can
cause environmental harm, such as increased use of fossil fuels.The interactions between the
environment and human health raise complex ethical questions related to environmental
regulations and health policy decisions.These ethical questions are bound to intensify with the
emergence of nanotechnology, genetically modified plants, biofuels, and other technologies that
can bring benefits and risks.
