 What I Need to Know

Most people nowadays, young, and old alike, are becoming fitness
conscious which is one of their goals in life. They consider physical fitness as part
of their daily activities to help them accomplish their daily tasks with ease,
endurance, and satisfaction. Because of this, people who are busy with their jobs
and can afford to buy fitness apparatuses and equipment, invested their money
to acquire these things and have their physical fitness activities at home.
However, physical activities like dancing, brisk walking, jogging, etc., are
exercises that are fun to perform with other people and can be done anytime
depending on the availability, fitness, and readiness of a person.
We Filipinos in general, are noted to be among the fun-loving and
health-conscious people in the world. Physical fitness activities are performed in

the country. Festival dances are performed by people of various walks of life for

What is It

Why Festivals?
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. Festival dances draw the people’s culture by portraying
the people’s way of life through movements, costumes and implements inherent to
their place of origin.
Some of the famous festivals in the country include Sinulog of Cebu,
Dinagyang of Iloilo, Ati-atihan of Kalibo, Aklan, Masskara of Bacolod City,
Panagbenga of Baguio and etc. Filipinos do festivals primarily to celebrate unity
amidst diversity of cultures. The value of industry and hardwork that brings about
bountiful yield is also one of the reasons of the celebration. Festivals have been a
consistent crowd-drawing activity which in a way uplifts the economy of one’s place
due to its tourism and entertainment value. The following are some of these dances:

4
A. Cultural with religious influence

Ati-atihan Festival- Is regarded as

one of the most colorful and most fun
festivals in the Philippines. It is held
in Kalibo, Aklan.
Ati-atihan means “make believe Ati,”
the indigenous natives of the island.
It is an annual feast held every
January in honor of the Sto. Niño
(Infant Jesus).

Sinulog Festival- is now the

traditional and ritual dance in honor
of Santo Niño. It is an annual festival
held every third Sunday of January in
Cebu City.

B. Indigenous Influence/Non-Religious Festival

Masskara Festival- Bacolod's festival

is held each year nearest October 19,
the city's Charter anniversary. The first
Masskara Festival was in 1980, in the
midst of economic crisis and a time of
tragedy, the city’s artists, local
government and civic groups decided to
hold a festival of smiles, because the
city at that time was also known as the
City of Smiles.

5
 Panagbenga Festival- The month-
long flower festival in Baguio,
Panagbenga festival means “season
of blooming.”
The festival presents various colorful
and floral decorated floats. It also
includes street dances with their floral
and Cordillera region-inspired tribal
costumes.

First Aid

Bruises, strains, and sprains

 Remember R.I.C.E

 Rest- stop performing if swollen or limping.

 Ice- apply ice pack (wrapped in a wet cloth) for 15 minutes, every 2 hours for 24
hours, then for 15 minutes every 4 hours for the next 24 hours.
 Compress- apply elastic bandage firmly to extend well beyond the injury (do not
leave on overnight)
 Elevate- raise the limb so that the injured part is just above the level of the heart.
Support an arm with a sling. Support small joint injuries with an elastic bandage.

Cramp or tight muscles

 If the area is very tender, treat as if it is a sprain or strain.

 If the whole muscle is in spasm, try a slow stretch then massage, stroking towards
the heart.
 In hot conditions, beware of dehydration.

Heat Exhaustion

 Get the person out of the sun and into a shady or air-conditioned location.
 Lay the person down and elevate the legs and feet slightly.
 Loosen or remove the person’s clothing.
 Have the person drink cool water or other non-alcoholic beverage without caffeine.
