Philippine Festivals

L E S S ON

Festivals in the Philippines offer people a chance to exhibit their rich

culture and pay 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 breathtaking sights, but also to
experience the country’s grand festivals that, without a doubt, makes
it more fun in the Philippines.
Ati-Atihan Festival- Aklan
If you plan to visit Boracay in January, you might as well watch the
locals masquerading as Negritos in colorful costumes, dancing
and chanting “Hala Bira!” in Aklan for their Ati-Atihan Festival.
Similar to Cebu’s Sinulog Festival, this event is celebrated to
honor Santo Niño. AtiAtihan Festival in Aklan is considered to be one of
the best festivals in the Philippines. This religious festivity is also one of the
oldest Philippine celebrations.

Sublian Festival - Batangas

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. Traditionaly 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 dancesand 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.

It came from 2
words:
“Subsub”
bending your
body forward
or downward
and “bali”

PHILLIPINETHEATRICAL
FORMS

Komedya
It is a theatrical tradition by Filipinos
sometimes in a form of singing. It describes
conflicts between Christians and Muslims. It
was used by the Spanish to promote
Christianity in the Philippines.
Comes from the 16 - century Spanish
comedia. A play written in verse which uses
traditional methods of Marcha
(entrance/exit), Batalla (choreograph
fighting) and Magia (magic ).
One of the colorful theatrical traditions used by Spanish to spread Christianity.

Page 7 of 22

Victoria National High School

Poblacion I, Victoria, Oriental Mindoro/ 09778075781/ [email protected]

 It spread instantly but was criticized due to lack of national importance
and realism. The komedya is written in three to five acts, with sainetes or
what we call today as intermission (something that will break the ice after an
act of the performance). The climax is the moro-moro, a war dance, usually in
the tune of March music and accompanied by the community brass band.
Types of Komedya
• Secular Komedya usually performed in town celebrations. Popularized in
1600’s is the “Moro-moro”, uses stories that revolve around kings, queens,
prince, princess, animals and supernatural beings. Most common topic: clash
between Christians and Filipino Muslims.
• Moro – Moro The moro-moro was later called the batalla, a closer jargon to
the actual scene on stage: the battle between the Christian and the Muslim
troupes. The delivery of the lines was sing-song like called diccio. Performers
need not memorize their lines because the dictador is always there to provide
the lines as the performance proceeded. However, performers had to
familiarize themselves with the required movement conventions of the batalla
because audience members usually asked the performers to repeat the war
dance over and over again.
• Tibag or Arakyo Another type of Secular Komedya in Nueva Ecija that is
performed during Santacruzan, which is the reenactment of the search for
the Holy Cross by Queen Helena and her son Emperor Constantine.
• Religious Komedya Mostly performed to enhance religious festivities. It
focuses on the life of religious icons. Examples are Siete Palabras, Comediade
San Miguel and Senakulo.
• Sarsuela an art form of lyric theater drama, comical in nature and it is
incorporated with singing, dancing and dialogue. “Walang Sugat” is one of the
most famous sarsuela in the country written by Severino Reyes.
Duplo
The duplo is a poetic debate presented
through song and dance, which originated
from indigenous courtship customs. Poets
used proverbs and riddles to present their
suit to the woman of their choice. This
ultimately evolved into a more formal
debate on issues,
and started to be
called the balagtasan.
Senakulo
Another performing art stemming from religious custom
is the senakulo or Passion Play. This is the
dramatization of the life and death of Jesus Christ and
is usually presented as a community activity during the
Lenten season. This still endures to the present, ranging from
simple productions to more technically sophisticated and
modernized version.

Bodabil
A stage show that became popular during the Japanese period based on the French
vaudeville. It was developed because city growers wanted to uplift their emotional stability
from the usual stage acts to a stage presentation featuring comedy, musical, monologue,
skits, impersonators, acrobats and even magical acts. It formed musical trends and
musicians. It helped to make jazz and blues popular and admired in our country. The
famous actors of bodabil are: Dolphy Quizon, Leopoldo Salcedo & Bayani Casimiro.

Quarter 4 – Module 1:
The Nature of the Common Non-
Communicable Diseases

Lesson
Nature of the Common
1 NonCommunicable Diseases

In your previous lesson you have learned about mental health,

understanding stress, common areas of stressors that affect adolescents, coping
with stress, dying, and death. Also, you have learned the different ways of
managing stress and different types of mental disorders. This chapter deals with
the nature, prevention and control of the common non-communicable diseases.
Here, you will understand how different diseases work, and what kind of lifestyle
you should have as a student to protect yourself from acquiring different
diseases.
Disease is any harmful deviation from the normal structural or functional state of
an organism, generally associated with certain signs and symptoms. Reference:
https://www.britannica.com/science/disease#ref63362
There are two categories of disease, the Communicable Diseases that are caused
by pathogens (virus, bacteria, fungi etc.), which are disease-causing organisms
Page 10 of 22

Victoria National High School

and can be transmitted from one person to another, or from animals to people.
Examples include common cold, influenza, cholera, dengue, tuberculosis etc.
These diseases can be avoided by taking preventive actions and measures.
The other type of disease is the Non-Communicable diseases (NCD).
Noncommunicable diseases generally are long-lasting and progress slowly. These
diseases cannot be transmitted from one person to another. It can arise from
environmental exposures, lifestyle, or from genetically determined abnormalities.
Examples include diabetes, heart attack, cancer, stroke, asthma etc.
This lesson will equip you with the knowledge and understanding about
prevention and control of non-communicable diseases. With this, you will have a
responsibility to be an advocate for health to your fellow students, family, friends,
and to your community.
What is It
How did you find the activity? Did it help you recall the
difference between communicable and non-communicable
diseases?
This module will help you increase your knowledge on and master the
concept of non-communicable diseases.
Below is a simplified definition of Non-Communicable Diseases. Read and
understand it. A graphic organizer about the causes, effects, and different types of
diseases under non-communicable diseases is presented for you to fully
understand its nature.
• Diseases that CANNOT be spread from one person/thing to another.
• Diseases that are not caused by pathogens (bad germs).
• Diseases that are caused by unhealthy lifestyle, heredity, and
environmental exposures.
• Can affect any system in the body (circulatory, nervous, and
respiratory).
• Can be treated but not usually cured.

Some common Non-Communicable Diseases and their symptoms.

1. Allergy occurs due to an abnormal immunologic response following an

exposure to an allergen such as dust mites, pollen, bee venom, pet lice, and food.

Signs and symptoms depend on the substance involved. However common

manifestations include hives (wheals), itchiness, and sneezing. Specifically;

Page 12 of 22

Victoria National High School

Poblacion I, Victoria, Oriental Mindoro/ 09778075781/ [email protected]

 A Food Allergy can cause:

• Tingling in the mouth.

• Swelling of the lips, tongue, face, or throat.
• Hives (an outbreak of swollen, pale red bumps or plaques (wheals) on the
skin).
• Anaphylaxis (causes your immune system to release a flood of chemicals
that can cause you to go into shock).

An insect sting allergy can cause:

• A large area of swelling (edema) at the sting site.

• Itching or hives all over the body.
• Cough, chest tightness, wheezing or shortness of breath.
• Anaphylaxis.

2. Asthma is an inflammatory disease of

the airways to the lungs. It makes breathing
difficult and can make some physical
activities difficult or even impossible.
Asthma may be prevented through lifestyle
changes, and medications.

Signs and Symptoms

• Shortness of breath
• Wheezing
• Coughing
• Chest Tightness

3. Cardiovascular disease is the disease of the heart and blood vessels.

Two types of cardiovascular diseases:

Page 13 of 22

Victoria National High School

Poblacion I, Victoria, Oriental Mindoro/ 09778075781/ [email protected]

 A. Heart (cardio) Diseases

Congenital heart defect-is an abnormality in the heart’s anatomical

structure that you were born with.

Example:
The heart is located at the right of your chest,
the heart’s position is opposite.

Other common congenital heart

diseases are Ventricular Septal Defect, Atrial
Septal Defect, and Atrioventricular septal
defect.

B. Vascular (blood vessel) Diseases

Stroke most commonly occurs when a clot blocks a small vessel in the
brain and thus brain cells die due to lack of oxygen supply. It is an
emergency! Once you observe signs and symptoms, call for help. The
American Stroke Association uses the acronym F.A.S.T. to detect early
warning signs of stroke. Look for F- face drooping, A- arm weakness, S-
speech difficulty. Once detected, it is T- time to call 911 or any local
emergency hotline.

Hypertension also known as High Blood Pressure is defined by the American
College of Cardiology/American Heart Association as the following:

• Stage 1 – Systolic pressure of 130 to

139 mmHg or diastolic pressure 80 to 89
mmHg

Page 15 of 22

Victoria National High School

Poblacion I, Victoria, Oriental Mindoro/ 09778075781/ [email protected]

 • Stage 2 – Systolic pressure at least 140
mmHg or diastolic pressure at least 90 mmHg
As a reference, the normal blood pressure for
adults is Systolic <120 mmHg and diastolic <80 mmHg.
Once diagnosed, lifestyle change is advised, and maintenance medications are
given to control hypertension. It is important to be compliant with medications
and follow-up consultation as complications of uncontrolled hypertension can
occur such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney failure.
Myocardial infarction commonly known as Heart Attack occurs when one
or more of coronary arteries supplying the heart suddenly becomes blocked,
stopping the flow of blood to the heart muscle. Typically, it presents with chest
pain, chest heaviness, cold sweats, dizziness, and shortness of breath. Although it
may have atypical presentation, especially in the elderly. Be wary of these
symptoms. If your parents, and/or grandparents mentioned sudden onset of
chest pain, and chest heaviness it may warrant a visit to the doctor immediately.
Early recognition and action may save lives.

4. Cancer is caused by abnormal cells growing without control, they form

masses called tumors. According to National Cancer Institute, cancer is a genetic
disease. It is caused by changes to genes that control the way cells function,
especially its growth and differentiation. Genetic changes that cause cancer can
be inherited from parents or may arise during a person’s lifetime as a
result of errors in DNA replication caused by certain environmental exposures.
Cancer-causing environmental exposures include substances, such as the
chemicals in tobacco smoke, and radiation, such as ultraviolet rays from the sun.

Types of tumor
Page 16 of 22

Victoria National High School

Poblacion I, Victoria, Oriental Mindoro/ 09778075781/ [email protected]

 • Benign tumor is characterized by masses of cells that are not
cancerous and do not spread.
• Malignant tumor is characterized by masses of cells that are
cancerous. They may spread to other parts of the body by moving along
the blood vessels or through the lymphatic system.
• This spreading is called metastasis.

Cancer may be identified in different ways depending on the location of the

primary tumor. To give few examples; bone marrow aspiration is used to
diagnose leukemia, pap smear is used to screen cervical cancer, and mammogram
is used to screen and/or diagnose breast cancer. Common diagnostic tests used
are biopsy, and imaging modalities such as CT Scan, and x-ray.

• Biopsy The removal of cells or tissues for examination by a pathologist.

The pathologist may study the tissue under a microscope or perform
other tests on the cells or tissue. There are many different types of
biopsy procedures. The most common types include: (1) incisional
biopsy, in which only a sample of tissue is removed; (2) excisional biopsy,
in which an entire lump or suspicious area is removed; and (3) needle
biopsy, in which a sample of tissue or fluid is removed with a needle.
When a wide needle is used, the procedure is called a core biopsy. When
a thin needle is used, the procedure is called a fine-needle aspiration
biopsy.
• Curettage is a brief surgical procedure in which the cervix is dilated
and a special instrument is used to scrape the uterine lining and a tissue
from within the body is removed. Specimen from the sample is then
used for biopsy.

•X-ray a quick, painless test that produces radiographic images of the

structures inside your body. Other common diagnostic imaging
modalities used in screening and/or diagnosing cancer include Computed
Tomography Scan (CT Scan) with or without contrast, Magnetic
Resonance Imaging (MRI), and Ultrasound.
Warning Signs of Cancer: Remember the word CAUTION-UP

C - hange in bowel or bladder habits

A - Sore that does that not heal
U - nusual bleeding or discharge
Page 17 of 22

Victoria National High School

Poblacion I, Victoria, Oriental Mindoro/ 09778075781/ [email protected]

T - hickening or lump in breast or elsewhere
I - ndigestion or difficulty in swallowing
O - bvious change in wart or mole
N - agging cough
U - nexplained weight loss
P - ersistent hoarness

Consult a doctor once you observed any warning signs. If you have a family
history of cancer, early screening is recommended.

5. Diabetes Mellitus is a disease that prevents the body to convert food into
energy. Carbohydrates are normally changed into a simple sugar called
glucose (a source of energy). Insulin, the hormone produced in the pancreas,
regulates the level of glucose in the blood.

Two types of diabetes

• Type I Diabetes Mellitus is the result of little or no insulin
produced by the pancreas. This can be due to a defective immune
system which attacks and destroys the cells that produce insulin. This
kind of diabetes usually begins before the age of 40.
• Type II Diabetes Mellitus is the result of too little insulin
produced by the pancreas or failure of the insulin to function
normally, most often it begins in overweight adults.

 Once diagnosed, lifestyle changes such as diet modification is advised.
Maintenance medication may be given especially if not controlled with diet. It is
important to be compliant to the medication and diet restriction to control
diabetes. Uncontrolled diabetes may result in complications such as peripheral
neuropathy particularly tingling sensation, and/or decreased sensation in
extremities, poor wound healing, diabetic retinopathy which may cause blindness,
diabetic nephropathy which can lead to kidney failure.

Sign and Symptoms of Diabetes:

EXCESSIVE:
• Urination
• Thirst
• Hunger

5. Arthritis refers to inflammation of joints.

Signs and symptoms
• Joint pain
• Stiffness, which typically worsen with age

6. Kidney or Renal Failure is a

medical condition in which the kidneys fail
to adequately filter the waste products from
the blood. It may be caused by an
underlying primary kidney disease, a
complication of untreated or uncontrolled
co-morbidities such as hypertension, and
diabetes, and/or a result of a nephrotoxic
substances.
