REVIEW OF RELATED
LITERATURE
Related Literature
• The strong religious influence of Catholicism left includes
religious rituals held like the Tumba-tumba during All Saint’s Day.
Tumba-tumba is celebrated every 1st of November in the town of
Paoay. Mrs. Luz Reyno-Carpio, a retired Division’s Superintendent
and Municipal Cultural and Tourism Council Consultant said, that
the real essence of “Tumba has been celebrated for generations to
honor the dead. No records explain why old folk called the event
Tumba-tumba.” According to Sayre (2008), a culture that comes
from the stories that survived without writing is called oral culture.
Some of these cultures have been passed down over the centuries
from generation to generation, by word of mouth.
Related Studies
• The study The Axiological Relevance of the Tumba-tumba Festival
in Paoay, Ilocos Norte, Philippines by Caesar Ziggy Q. Perlas
explored the Tumba-tumba festival celebration of Paoay, Ilocos
Norte in the Philippines. During the celebration, different huts are
put up with altars inside them that have a lot of food offerings. The
study explored the value and meaning of the folk practices. The
study used the ethnographic observation, documentation, and
interviews of the participants of the 10 districts during the
celebration. The tradition was the blended values of Ilocano and
religious faith. The participants were devoted in the preservation of
the culture but few knew the meaning of the food offerings.
Related Studies
• In the practice of the tradition, the participants were not aware that
they were performing different fields of the arts. The local
government organizes other activities to promote the festival but
these usually result in divided interests of visitors towards the real
value of the tradition. The local government therefore, as the key
factor in the preservation of the cultural values of the tradition, is
recommended to develop and increase the awareness of the
program during the festival to promote its real meaning for the
younger generation to emulate.

using content analysis. Moore and McCabe (2005) define this sort
of research as one in which data is collected and organized into
themes and sub-themes so that it may be compared. One of the
most significant benefits of content analysis is that it aids in the
reduction and simplification of data while also delivering results
that can be quantified quantitatively. Furthermore, content analysis
allowed researchers to organize qualitative data in a way that meets
study goals.
