MUSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PHILIPPINE FESTIVAL AND
THEATRICAL FORMS
Background Information for Learners
Philippine festivals are town fiestas celebrating moments in history that defined
identity, community and locality.
The main instruments used for ati-atihan festival are snare drums, triples, bass drums,
trumpets, cacophony, xylophones, lyres, and gongs. The festival consists of tribal dance,
music, accompanied by indigenous costumes and weapons, and parade along the street. Ati-
Atihan Festival was held in honour of Santo Niño the infant Jesus.
The Sinulog dance is a forward-backward movement consisting of two steps forward
and then one-step backward. The dancers are dressed in bright colored costumes doing the
Sinulog dance to the rhythm of drums, gongs, trumpets and other band instruments. The
tempo of Sinulog Festival ranges from 140 BPM to 145 BPM.
Sublian Festival is a religious devotion translated to a dance from indigenous to
Batangas: the Subli. Traditionally performed to the accompaniment of drums and chanting,
the Subli praises the Patron in a combination of poetry, movement and music. The subli is
made up of lengthy prayers, songs and dances in prearranged arrangement. Today, the
Sublian festival features not just devotional dance-song but street dancing indigenous Filipino
games, Harana, the Lupakan, Awitan at Sayawan: an event which combines the sharing of
Nilupak (local delicacy made of bananas and sweet potato) with folk songs and dances and
even a Malunggayan Fiesta, a day that celebrates the nutritional benefits of the malunggay
(moringa) plant. The Sublian Festival also coincides with the city’s founding anniversary.
In the Moriones Festival some play an instrument known as the kalutang. It is a stick
made out of native wood. However, kalutangs range in size so that a thicker one might be a
lower sound and a thinner one would have a higher sound. These special Moriones play in a
band consisting of different octaves of kalutang. A band member would always have to stay
with the group for the whole week.
The Kadayawan Festival is an annual festival in the city of Davao in the Philippines. Its
name derives from the friendly greeting "Madayaw", from the Dabawenyo word meaning good,
valuable, superior or beautiful. The highlight of Kadayawan Festival is the exciting street dancing
competition. It is a stylized interpretation of its indigenous dances and music. Early in the
morning, the streets are flooded with dancers and musicians. They are clad in colorful structural
garments dangling with brass bells, beads and horsetails. To the sound of the debakan, agong,
kulintang and other bamboo instruments, they move in synchronized motions
& surprising stunts. The dances are very fast and lively, cheering to their patron Saint and
greeting the people with smile on their faces as they dance together with the repeating pattern
of the music.
Ibalong Festival is held in Bicol Region. In this festival, the people parade in the
streets to the rousing beat of drums and the kalutang, bamboo percussion instrument, wearing
mask and costumes like the heroes and villains in the epic.
Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times. 1

In terms of musical theater, such as opera, ballet, and musicals, music has the function
of communicating the emotional heart of the action and the feelings, wishes, and thoughts of
the characters. In musical theater, music involves a certain degree of suspension of disbelief
on the part of the audience.
Some elements of the “classic” komedya are retained such as the sing-song delivery
(diccio or dicho) of lines written in verse, and the story having romance and battle dances
(batalya). One innovation is the inclusion of singing, with music direction by Mary Katherine
Trangco, it's absent in the traditional form.
Zarzuela is a very exciting form of musical theater. Some of the main characteristics
and features of Zarzuela include songs, choruses, spoken passages and dances. A lot of times
Zarzuela's subject matter revolves around heroic or mythological topics. Often times,
Zarzuela is very quick-witted and satirical.
Bodabil is an indigenized form of vaudeville, introduced in the Philippines around the
turn of the 20th century. It featured a hodgepodge of musical numbers, short-form comedy
and dramatic skits, and even magic acts, often staged inside the theaters of Manila.

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET THE ORIGINS AND CULTURAL

BACKGROUND OF SELECTED PHILIPPINE FESTIVALS
Background Information for Learners:
A festival is a celebration or series of events and performances in commemoration of

a person, religious events, history of stories. Examples of Philippine festivals are Ati-Atihan
(Kalibo, Aklan), Sinulog (Cebu City), Sublian (Batangas), Moriones (Marinduque),
Kadayawan (Davo) and Ibalong (Bicol).
The Ati-Atihan Festival is a Philippine festival held annually in January in honor of the
Santo Niño (Holy Child or Infant Jesus) in several towns of the province of Aklan, Panay Island.
The biggest celebration is held during the third Sunday of January in the town of Kalibo, the
province’s capital. The name Ati-Atihan means "to imitate Ati", the local name of the Aeta
people, the first settlers of Panay Island and other parts of the archipelago. The festivity was
originally a pagan celebration to commemorate the Barter of Panay, where the Aeta accepted gifts
from Bornean chieftains called Datu, who fled with their families to escape a tyrannical ruler, in
exchange for being allowed to dwell in the Aeta’s lands. They celebrated with dancing and music,
with the Borneans having painted their bodies with soot to show their gratefulness and
camaraderie with the Aeta who had dark skin. Later on, the festivity was given a different
meaning by the church by celebrating the acceptance of Christianity, as symbolized by carrying
an image of the Holy Child or Infant Jesus during the procession.
The Sinulog-Santo Niño Festival is an annual cultural and religious festival held on
the third Sunday of January in Cebu City, and on the fourth Sunday of January in Carmen,
Cebu, and is the centre of the Santo Niño Catholic celebrations in the Philippines.The festival
is considered to be first and Queen of festivals in the Philippines, with every celebration of
the festival routinely attracting around 1 to 2 million people from all over the Philippines
every year. Aside from the religious aspect of the festival, Sinulog is also famous for its street
parties, usually happening at night before and at the night of the main festival.
The Sublian Festival, a two week long celebration which culminates every year on
the 23rd of July, is rooted in the Batangueños devotion to the town’s patron: the Holy Cross
in Bauan and Agoncillo, and the Sto. Niño in Batangas City. This religious devotion
translated to a dance from indigenous to Batangas: the Subli. Traditionally performed to the
accompaniment of drums and chanting, the Subli praises the Patron in a combination of
poetry, movement and music.Today, the Sublian festival features not just devotional dance-
song but street dancing indigenous Filipino games, Harana (serenades), the Lupakan, Awitan
at Sayawan: an event which combines the sharing of Nilupak (local delicacy made of bananas
and sweet potato) with folk songs and dances and even a Malunggayan Fiesta, a day that
celebrates the nutritional benefits of the malunggay (moringa) plant. The Sublian Festival
also coincides with the city’s founding anniversary.
The Moriones is a lenten festival held annually on Holy Week on the island of
Marinduque, Philippines. The "Moriones" are men and women in costumes and masks
replicating the garb of biblical Roman soldiers as interpreted by locals. The Moriones
tradition has inspired the creation of other festivals in the Philippines where cultural practices
is turned into street festivals. It is a colourful festival celebrated on the island of Marinduque
in the Philippines. The participants use morion masks to depict the Roman soldiers and
Syrian mercenaries within the story of the Passion of the Christ. The festival is characterized
by colorful Roman costumes, painted masks and helmets, and brightly colored tunics.
The various towns also hold the unique tradition of the pabasa or the recitation of
Christ's passion in verse. Then at three o'clock on Good Friday afternoon, the Santo Sepulcro
is observed, whereby old women exchange verses based on the Bible as they stand in wake of
the dead Christ. One of the highlights of this festival is the Via Crucis. A re-enactment of the
suffering of Christ on his way to the Calvary. Men inflict suffering upon themselves by
whipping their backs, carrying a wooden cross and sometimes even crucifixion. They see this
act as their form of atonement for their sins. This weeklong celebration starts on Holy
Monday and ends on Easter Sunday.
The Kadayawan Festival is an annual festival in the city of Davao in the Philippines.
Its name derives from the friendly greeting "Madayaw", from the Dabawenyo word meaning
good, valuable, superior or beautiful. The festival is a celebration of life, a thanksgiving for
the gifts of nature, the wealth of culture, the bounties of harvest and serenity of living.
Previously, this festival held in the third week of August every year which was highlighting
the 11 tribes of Davao City. In 2019, the celebration was extended and held from 2 to 31
August. In 2020, Kadayawan Festival was celebrated from 10 to 17 August.
The Ibalong Festival is a non-religious festival in Legazpi City, Albay, Philippines

based on the Ibalong Epic, and is held on August. The festival celebrates the epic story
Ibalong who was accompanied by three legendary heroes, namely Baltog, Handyong, and
Bantong. People parade in the streets wearing masks and costumes to imitate the appearances
of the heroes and the villains, portraying the classic battles that made their way into the
history of Bicol. The Ibalong Festival aims to express warmth and goodwill to all people;

PHILIPPINE MUSICAL THEATER
After the Japanese regime, the Philippine theatre has evolved to become an
incorporation of the various influences such that of the zarzuela, comedia, bodabil, and
western classics. Theatre was largely performed in English during the time, as it became a
large part of classroom education. Meanwhile, zarzuelas such as “Ang Kiri,” “Dalagang
Bukid,” and “Paglipis ng Dilim” became well-known beyond their regions.
By the 1950s, theatre had moved out of classrooms and the concept of paying for a
ticket to see a theatrical performance emerged. This “legitimate” theatre was held in closed
theaters – these became events in themselves, not just mere parts of a celebration or religious
ritual.
During this time, playwrights such as Severino Montano, Wilfrido Ma. Guerrero, and
Alberto S. Florentino honed their crafts and contributed to the development of performing
arts in the Philippines.
Through the years, Philippine theatre groups have staged numerous plays in both
English and Filipino, be it written by a Western or local playwright. Spanish culture and
traditions largely influence performing arts in the Philippines, but the contemporary style is
borrowed from the Americans. Classic shows such as The Westside Story and Sound of
Music made waves in recent years when it took the local stage.

homage to the history and patron saints. They are vibrant, big, and celebrated with a lot of
pomp and show. No wonder, each province has its own Filipino Fiesta that they are very
proud of. Tourists from all over the world visit the Philippines not just to see its beautiful
beaches and breath-taking sights, but also to experience the country’s grand festivals that,
without a doubt, makes it more fun in the Philippines.
Music creates the rhythm of the dance performed in Philippine festivals. Considering that
the music used in Philippines festivals reflects the customs and culture of the Philippines. The
music is not just embodied as a rich rhythm that makes people dance to it but it also carries the
heart of the Filipinos, the music itself, every beat and every tone contains the rich history and
culture of the Philippines. It somewhat tells or emphasizes the story each festival portrays.

PERFORMING PHILIPPINE MUSICAL THEATER
Theater in the Philippines is as varied as the cultural traditions and the historical
influences that shaped it through the centuries. The dramatic forms that flourished and
continue to flourish among the different peoples of the archipelago include: the indigenous
theater, mainly Malay in character, which is seen in rituals, mimetic dances, and mimetic
customs; the plays with Spanish influence, among which are the komedya, the sinakulo, the
playlets, the sarswela, and the drama; and the theater with Anglo-American influence, which
encompasses bodabil and the plays in English, and the modern or original plays by Fihpinos,
which employ representational and presentational styles drawn from contemporary modern
theater, or revitalize traditional forms from within or outside the country.
