were the primary settlers in the islands
according to history books.

Take note that this festival is known as ‘The

Mother of All Philippine Festivals’ since it’s
around 800 years old.

So, let’s proceed to the Indigenous

influence/non- religious festival.
Could you read the first dance Shaine?
Lanzones Festival is an annual thanksgiving
celebration for Camiguin Island's bountiful
harvest. The town of Mambaja holds the feast
during the third week of October, in time for
the season of the tropical fruit lanzones.
The tradition is believed to have its roots in a
local tale about a couple who were unable to
have children. According to the legend, they
sought the help of a fairy residing in a lanzones
tree, who granted their wish and blessed them
with a healthy son. However, they failed to show
gratitude to the fairy. One day, a mysterious
woman approached their child while he was
playing, and he suddenly fell unconscious.
Suspecting the intervention of the lanzones fairy,
the parents conducted a ritual to appease her,
and their child recovered. In the following year,
they decided to extend their gratitude to the
neighboring community, inviting them to
participate in a thanksgiving ceremony. This
annual celebration in Camiguin has since become
a tradition, where rituals performed by the
island's ancestors to honor the gods for good
weather and abundant harvests are reenacted.
Look at this video of Lanzones festival.

Okay, then could you read the slide?

The Maskara Festival was established in 1980
during a challenging time for the province.
Bacolod City, which heavily depended on sugar
cane as its primary agricultural product,
encountered economic difficulties when the
price of sugar dropped sharply due to the
emergence of sugar substitutes such as high
fructose corn syrup in the United States. In the
midst of this crisis, tragedy struck on April 22 of
that same year when the inter-island vessel MV
Don Juan collided with the tanker Tacloban
City, leading to the tragic loss of around 700
lives, including numerous Negrenses from
influential families in Bacolod City.

In response to these tragedies, Bacolod City's

artists, local government, and civic groups united
to create the Masskara Festival, representing the
city's "City of Smiles" nickname. They aimed to
lift spirits and foster community unity during
difficult times. The festival's inception showcased
the resilience and determination of Bacolod's
residents, symbolizing their commitment to
overcoming adversity and prevailing.

this festival commemorates the season of
blooming as it pays tribute to the blooms and
lush found in a particular place. In some places
where flowers abound, this festival is a way of
expressing their gratitude by means of floral
offering.

Can you give a flower festival in the Philippines?

That’s right! Could you read what is Panagbenga, ma’am.

Panagbenga?

The Panagbenga Festival, also known as the

Blooming Flowers Festival, is a month-long
annual celebration of flowers held in Baguio,
the summer capital of the Philippines. The term
"Panagbenga" originates from Malayo-
Polynesian languages, signifying the "season of
blooming." This festival, which takes place
throughout February, serves as both a tribute
to the city's vibrant flora and a symbol of
resilience following the devastation caused by
the 1990 Luzon earthquake.
You'll see flower-covered floats resembling those
in Pasadena's Rose Parade, and street dancers
wearing flower-themed costumes, inspired by
the Bendian, a celebratory dance from the
Cordillera region.

Look at this video of Panagbenga festival.
