From Luzon to Visayas, down to the southern tip of Mindanao, Filipinos have various ways of celebrating life's abundance which are clear expressions of their religiosity and strong faith in their creator. Fiestas showcase Filipino ingenuity at its finest. The fiesta is part and bundle of the Filipino culture. Through good times and bad times, the fiesta must go on. Each city and barrio has at least one local festival of its own, usually on the feast day of its patron saint, so that there is always a fiesta going on somewhere in the country. But the most elaborate festival of all is Christmas, a season celebrated with all the display and show that the fun-loving Filipino can handle.

[Audio] LESSON II: Representative Philippine Theatrical Forms Philippine theater comes in a variety of forms, and these include religious and non-religious acts or productions, usually shown or performed during festivals, covering a wide spectrum of resources and origins. The kinds of theater productions mentioned below are the most famous performed in the Philippines and are widely known throughout the country and in Asia. Most of which are influenced by the Spanish and other Asian countries. Since the time of Dr. Jose Rizal, national hero, in the year 1898, Shadow Puppetry had already been formed in the Philippines, when he staged the play entitled " Carillo". Rizal used a carton and a stick and positioned this at the back of a large, white cloth; using a candle to illuminate the back of the puppets to create the shadows. Shadow puppetry- or shadow play is an ancient art form that uses flat, expressed figures to produce cut-out figures which are held together by sticks and sometimes, thread, to create movement, which are shown behind a thin layer of cloth or screen and a light source to create the shadows..

[Audio] Comedia or Komedya comes from 16th century Spanish comedia ( play). It is one of the colorful theatrical traditions in the Philippines used by the Spanish as a method to spread Christianity. This theatrical form describes the conflicts of Christians and Muslims. There are two types of Komedya: Secular Komedya and Religious Komedya. Secular Komedya- an example of secular komedya popularized in the 1600's is the " Moro-moro", that use stories that revolve around kings, queens, princes, princesses, animals, and supernatural beings. Most of the time, it portrays the clash between Christians and Filipino Muslims..

[Audio] Religious Komedya Mostly performed to enhance religious festivities. It focuses on the life of religious icons ( Jesus Christ, St. Michael, and other patron saints.) Examples are Siete Palabras, Comedia de San Miguel and Senakulo; the Lenten presentation of the Passion of Christ. Zarzuela or Sarswela is an art form of lyric theater drama, comical in nature and it is incorporated with singing, dancing, and dialogue. It is a play in prose. Zarzuela originated from Spain and was made popular in the Philippines in the 1800's. It portrays the typical Filipino realities which viewers can relate in their lives such as elections and Feasts, marriage and family, vices, and values. Walang Sugat is one of the most famousZarzuela in the country. I hope you will experience meaningful learning and gain a deep understanding of the lessons amidst the COVID- 19 pandemic.
