Binatbatan Festival 2021

 

“FESTIVALS ARE FUN FOR KIDS, FUN FOR PARENTS AND OFFER A WELCOME BREAK FROM THE STRESSES OF THE NUCLEAR FAMILY. THE SHEER QUANTITIES OF PEOPLE MAKE LIFE EASIER: LOADS OF ADULTS FOR THE ADULTS TO TALK TO AND LOADS OF KIDS FOR THE KIDS TO PLAY WITH.” –  TOM HODGKINSON

Festivals are a powerful method to demonstrate pride in one's background, culture, and customs. They are supposed to be shared with loved ones to celebrate key events and feelings in our life. They play a vital part in our social life by providing structure and connecting us to our families and histories. They provide a welcome break from our mundane, monotonous daily routines and provide motivation to recall the essential things and events in our lives. Legends, wisdom, and customs were passed down through the generations through festivals.

All festivals are cultural in one way or another.  There are many types of cultural festivals such as National, Religious and Seasonal.  They all serve the purpose of bringing happiness to our lives, and strengthen our sense of community. Just like our festival here in Vigan and that’s Binatbatan Festival. Binatbatan Festival follows its foundations from the abel weaving industry of Vigan which has been in presence even before the Spaniards came to colonize the Philippines.

The roads were closed, individuals ran in specific areas. Drums are pounding noisy and clear. Beautiful and colorful outfits are being worn by the street dancers as they gladly broadcast "Viva Vigan!" Binatbatan festival has arisen to be one of the biggest social get-togethers up north the Philippine archipelago.  They are wearing garments produced using abel Iloko, a woven texture endemic in the Ilocos Region, Binatbatan Festival isn't simply a celebration. It portrays the rich culture and old ventures of Vigan. Even little kids who join the street dancing gave their best shot without any mark of complain or exhaustion at their face.

This celebration is a tributeto the Ilocanos of the Old. Binatbatan is an Ilocano dance that portrays the first step in the Abel Iloko weaving measure. They utilize two 18-inch long bamboo sticks. The cotton units need to beaten with these two bamboosticks to isolate the seeds from the puff. This is Binatbatan Festival is fusion of culture, arts, industry history and heritage under one colorful event.

Reflection About The Learnings and Challenges this 2nd Quarter

Image
          During the Second Quarter, I discovered that I have some knowledge about this kind of lesson which includes using laptop and typing. I learned how to use notepad even though it takes time to do it because of so many words or symbols you must put to make your writings understandable.           Even though I have this kind of little bit knowledge of this I also encountered problems and challenges that it really takes time for me to do this because of my old keyboard last time. I finished my tasks or things needed to do even if I have hard time in doing this and sometimes lack of time doing this because I need to help my mother in checking a lot of modules.

Araw ng kagitingan also known as Bataan day and Bataan Corregidor day is a national observance in the Philippines which commemorates the fall of Bataan during world war two. It falls on April 9 although in 2009 its celebration was moved to April 6, 2018 from conceding with Maundy Thursday. The historical backdrop of this world is inadequate without the consideration of the Second World War or World War 2, the most horrendous and overwhelming fighting pursued by people against one another. It included by far most of the nations and Global forces during the period 1939 to 1945. The conflict was essentially pursued between two contradicting military collusions: The Allies fundamentally containing the United Kingdom and British Empire, the Third Republic of France, Soviet Union, United States of America and t...

What are the learnings/discoveries that I have gained?  The learnings and discoveries that I have gained this fourth quarter lessons is that I thought I have that much idea about this websites and any more about social media but I found out that there are many more things that I don't know about medias and websites.  2. What are the problems/challenges that I have encountered? The problems and challenges that I have encountered is that I have damage in eyes which means that I don't have that plenty of time to do and to read my modules by answering because every time my eyes aches I'll rest my eyes.  3. How did I address these challenges?  I address this challenges positively because I finished all my tasks in the given time or I passed it on time.  4. Moving on, I will…. practice what I have learned and I will try to study or to increase my knowledge about this.  References: https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=http%3A%2F%2F4liberty.eu%2Fse...
