Philippines
is known for many festivals occurring every year. It is one of our ways of
giving thanks to our Creator and Giver for the blessings we receive throughout
the year. By celebrating these festivals, we can attract tourists or investors
to come here in the Philippines, it will also prevent our economy from dropping
low. One of these festivals is the "Pas' Ungko Festival" which is the
festival being celebrated here in Misamis Occidental.
This year, this
is the first time that the Pas' Ungko festival was being celebrated as
glamorous as before. contigents are from all cities and municipalities that is
part of Misamis Occidental. They participated in the following contests: the
Displaying of Booths, the Search for Mutia ng Misamis Occidental and the Street
Dancing Competition. i can say that the Capitol grounds was very crowded during
the festival, it seldom be empty. Like the final day wherein lots of people are
on the streets I mean its really crowded because it is the day of the Street
Dancing Competition. Contigents showed their best in showing their unique
dances. They did not notice the rays of the sun hitting their bare skin which
is like an ant bitting on me, but Thank God, I was under a tree while
witnessing that parade. Imagine all the people's sacrifices just to witness
that big event. I can also say that the best line of the people present on the
competition is " Payong, Oy Payong! Kay Di Mi Kita!". In English,
" Umbrellas on the front, it's blocking our view!". Even us, Me,
Joshua, Dy Ann and Jayah said that because honestly, we can't see their at the
back with their umbrellas even though were a little bit elevated. One of the
contigents really attracts us, we saw a boy dressed in a girl's outfit, we are
very confused if that was a girl or a boy because there's a part of him which
is girl but he is really a boy. We don't know what made them decide to dressed
that gay a girl's outfit, it really makes him a fool. But he's popular, people
are talking about him, I mean, it really attracts attention to the people, they
even laugh at him. And at that night, there was a fire dancing held at the
Baliangao booth, it was my first time to witness fire dance. Fire dancers
really showed their best well. They were four of them, all boys. They were
holding a chain with a ball of fire at the bottom, they swing it around and
around. The two of them blast the fire with gas on their mouth, I mean, they
spit the gas on the fire so it made it blast. The other guy, which we thought
was a gay, let the torch touches his' tongue, it really freaks me off. After
that, we go home. It was a memorable day for me, especially because i got a
number from one of the fire dancers.
Festivals are
very important. People from places to places gather to witness such event. This
is where you meet new friends or even the old ones. By these festivals, we can
thank our Creator for our abundant blessings. But my biggest concern is that
let's preserve the festivals up to the end but let's not ruin our surroundings.
Because after that day, Contigents left really huge amount of cellophanes on
their designated area. We can celebrate festivals by not making a place dirty
by throwing our garbages properly. So, let's conserve our Festivals, as well as
our Mother Nature.
