It’s Kadayawan Festival in Davao City
The longest and most colorful festival in the Philippines is indubitably Davao City’s Kadayawan Festival. It formally kicks off on 10 August with revelry of ethnic gongs and music festivities and ends on 20 August with dazzling and radiant floats festooned in an array of fruits and flowers. August is the most abundant period of harvests and, as a tradition, the indigenous tribes in the city celebrate the season with festivities. And we celebrate with them. Davao City is home to 11 ethnic tribes. A large portion of elevated and forested lands in the city are their ancestral domain, while a few of them inhabit the coastal area. Despite the diversity of cultures, they live in peaceful coexistence along with other pioneers from various parts of the country. The tribes are well represented in the City Legislative Department and as Deputy Mayors. Let us refer to the City Tourism Office for the description of the various tribes that live in Davao City. Ata. They are shy and kind but are quick to anger. They are often referred to as people of the mountain as they prefer to live in upland areas. Bagobo Klata. They are forest dwellers and brave and feared warriors. They are known for their elaborate attire and fine artistry. Bagobo Tagabawa. They are the best dressed and said to be the most intelligent among the indigenous peoples. They dwell in the foothills of Mt. Apo which they call Apo Sandawa and is their place of worship and considered sacred. Matigsalug. The riverside dwellers. They are engaged in farming and are famous for the native rice variety. They fish and hunt and gather wild fruits for a living. Obu Manuvu. The oldest tribe in Davao City. They are known for their fine weaponry and jewelry. Planting cacao and vegetables is their source of livelihood. Iranun. Davao City has its share of the Iranun tribe who were originally from Illana Bay, better known today as the Moro Gulf, but they have spread to nearly all of Mindanao. They are descendants of Sultan Kudarat. They are known as the defenders of the nation as they fought against the Spanish colonizers. Kagan. This tribe inhabits the coastal areas of Davao. They are referred to as Davao Moros. They are a peace-loving people and are known to co-exist with other tribes. Maguindanaon. Known to be the first major Muslim converts in Mindanao. Courageous and resourceful, they are known for their bravery against the Spanish conquistadores. They live in many parts of Davao City. Maranao. The best dressed among the ethnic groups. They are famous for their wood and metal craft. They are referred to as “people of the lake.” Sama. A peace-loving tribe that values togetherness. Their forebears were said to have special powers as they could summon spirits called “jin” to do things for them. Taosug. They are from Sulu and are known for their bravery, yet are kind, hospitable, and helpful, and have a word of honor. They engage in trading and fishing, as among their means of livelihood. Davao is home to the world’s most elegant eagle and the habitat of the king of orchids we call Waling Waling, or Vanda Sanderana to orchidists. On its fertile lands are a variety of crops, among these, durian, bananas, and pineapples which are the principal exports of the city. Mangosteen, pomelos, lanzones, dragon fruit and rambutan abound this season. Numbeo ranks Davao as the most livable city in the Philippines. And this is made possible by the man who led the city against criminal and drug syndicates and ISIS and communist terrorists. Mayor Rodrigo R. Duterte is the one. The first President from Mindanao whose trust and approval ratings, and path of destiny the incumbent Vice President Inday Sara Duterte is bound to be heir to. The 38th Kadayawan Festival is a celebration of life, abundance, and thanksgiving. Come join us. The post It’s Kadayawan Festival in Davao City appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
Students showcase pieces at Makati’s Art in the Park
Ever since the year 2006, Art in the Park continues to strike awe and wonderment into the hearts of the continuously expanding, more appreciative Philippine arts and culture community. After all, the annual event gathers sterling galleries with artists of note as well as budding art spaces and independent collectives together all in one fun-filled eye-opening affair. It keeps its mission of making visual arts accessible in two ways. The event finds home at the laidback, newly-enhanced Jaime Velasquez Park in Salcedo Village, Makati City, a welcome reprieve right at the heart of the desired residential area, and the price range ranges from P70,000 and way below, for new collectors or to serve as ideal gifts for those who have everything. [caption id="attachment_130031" align="aligncenter" width="328"] 'Folded but Hanging on by the Finger Tip (121.92 by 91.44 cm, acrylic on canvas, 2022)' by Astrud Moscoso, which is described as 'a sense of atypical wonder that is a moving curiosity on playful insights. Connecting the dots just by exploring unintentionally, that harnesses the power of observation. The free will of being transformative with bold new perspectives.'[/caption] [caption id="attachment_130030" align="aligncenter" width="297"] 'Amara Averion’s Impulse 1 (30.48 by 45.72 cm, acrylic on canvas, 2023),' which is part of a series called Impulse. The works are made out of spite and out of fun. These dancing blobs are free, loud and colorful.[/caption] Amongst the camaraderie and chaos of the first physical show since 2019, art enthusiasts and the curious once again drowned at the excellent selections of paintings, sculptures, mixed-media works, drawings, prints, photographs, potteries, pieces of furniture, zines and stickers. With no more wall space available due to the art pieces I have collected and have been gifted over the years, I found myself under the lush fire trees that abound in the green patch to observe what’s new and what moves buyers in the year 2023. Joining this year’s edition was — surprise, surprise — another familiar name — the De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde, which I soon learned was on their second participation. [caption id="attachment_130033" align="aligncenter" width="304"] '27-Minute Drawing: Tipsy at a Gallery (15 x 10 cm, mixed media on paper, 2023)' by Aevan Georgeline de Jesus, who explained, 'From February through March 2023, I timed myself drawing for 27 minutes 27 times.'[/caption] “The open call for artworks was offered to students, faculty and alumni,” shared Arts Management Program professor and supervising faculty member Thea Garing. A pavilion was set up at the campus to receive entries, complete with certificates of authenticity, ready for the possible purchase of the obras. With an initial plan to limit the submissions to only 120 works, it was eventually expanded to 215 due to the overwhelming turnout. The displays at the Benilde Booth had to be rotated throughout the day, with 50 to 60 on view at a time. First-time participant Carlo Miguel Cuvin shared his feelings: “I was really excited but also nervous for this is my initial art-related event outside of the college. Seeing my craft at the booth, together with the works of my colleagues, made more intense by other groups of artists, really motivated me. It was surreal.” Along with Garing, the collaboration was made possible with the guidance of Alain Zedrick Camiling, Arts Management Program chair. They were also aided by Maria Magdalena C. de Leon, Benilde School of Arts, Culture and Performance dean, as well as the chairpersons from the other programs.

This event comes after the success of Art Fair Philippines 2023, led by its founders, Dindin Araneta, Trickie Lopa and Lisa Ongpin-Periquet. The response was heartwarming and fulfilling, as we have reconfirmed our inclusion in the roster of art fairs in open spaces together with the other capital cities of the world. Let the artworks do the talking. [caption id="attachment_130035" align="aligncenter" width="296"] 'In Motion: Zephyr (15.24 by 11.43 cm, acrylic, 2021)' by chucolatte.
