Igal-Igalan
sa TCU:
A Creative Workshop
Inspired by the Sama
Traditional Dance
Introduction
Culture and education cannot be separated from each other. They are
interdependent. The cultural patterns of a society guide its educational patterns.
Hence, the culture of a country has a very powerful impact on its educational
patterns. Education as a part of culture has the twin functions of conservation and
modification or renewal.

Just as the culture influences education, in the same way education also
influences the culture of a country. It can be seen by the power of education in
preserving the culture of our country through the inclusion of it in education.
Unfortunately, Cultures and Traditions of many indigenous tribes in our country are
rapidly diminishing because of the influences being brought by the different
countries in the world. One of these is the Sama culture or the culture of those
people we commonly known as “Bajau people”. Sama’s rich cultural heritage is
gradually fading into extinction as a result of the in-migration of settlers (mostly
from the Visayas), an emerging bias against the lumad, and the trauma or
discrimination they suffer for being indigenous.

Here, we need to be culturally responsive and culturally competent in


preventing our diverse cultures in fading by being enlightened and equipped by the
different knowledge and skills being gathered in this event that will promote the
revival of our different cultures, specifically the Sama Culture.

Opening Remarks

by Prof. Mark Vincent S. Manlangit


The adviser of PE Club, Prof. Mark Vincent S. Manlangit gave his welcome
remarks to the distinguished guests and participants. He emphasized that
education is the only means through which this task can be accomplished. Thus,
education preserves the culture of a society. In this regard, socially inclusive
approach to content creation used in lesson planning and or curriculum design must
be introduced to us teachers to fulfill the goal of education in preserving and
acknowledging the variety of cultures circulating the country.
Introduction
of Bunga
Arts Link
by Ms. Kenneth Balajadia
Bunga Arts Link (BAL)
was founded in 2004 as a group of Sama ang non-Sama performing artists,
researchers and indigenous people engaged in research, production and practice of
the Igal and Pansak dance and music traditions of the Sama people. For any
organization interested in Sama culture, BAL provides educational experiences with
members of the community. Leading the group is Dr. MCM Santamaria, one of the
Philippines’ most well-known scholars on Philippine and Asian Dance Forms.

BAL was founded in 2004 as a group


of performing artists and
researchers engaged in practice of
Igal and Pansak dance traditions of
the Sama peoples.

We acquired information on the


movement, vocabulary and
background of each dance from Igal
masters from the tribes. We
studied under these masters. After,
we hold this workshop to teach the
acquired skills and information.
Recitals, concerts, lectures,
intermission numbers and published
books and articles are the result of
our discourse with the Sama.
This Seminar/workshop provided opportunities for The Physical Education students
as it provides meaningful knowledge, and appreciation of the rich culture and
tradition that is relevant to their course.

Bunga Arts Link was founded by Dr.MCM Santamaria, as part of his advocacy of
promoting the culture and traditions of the Sama-Bajau and of Igal as a
performance art.
