SAN MIGUEL FIESTA PALARO MAY 7-8, 2009

2009-05-22T09:15:00.000-07:00

MGA PALARO SA FIESTA
laurabc@bumail.bradley.edu

Some of these games were played at San Miguel Elementary School (now Teodora Cruz Elementary School) during our grade school days in the early 50’s. We had so much fun during those days especially during recess, before. and after classes. Sixty years or more had passed, my husband, Ric, and I, sponsored the San Miguel Fiesta on May 7-8, 2009. With the economy affecting everybody in the world, we thought we could still have fun and enjoy the Fiesta with a simple celebration giving more emphasis to the patron saint, St. Michael the Archangel. So we proposed some cost-cutting activity like playing a few of our local games. I consulted with our former teacher and principal Mr. Vicente D. Santos, who also went home from California, to be part of the Fiesta regarding the games. Friends, relatives and the “Kabataan” organization were very supportive of the idea and we couldn’t thank them enough for their assistance. The "Kabataan" played other games in addition to what I have listed below. Their assistance is greatly appreciated.

As simple as that, it ended up to be a wonderful Fiesta of St. Michael the Archangel in Hagonoy Bulacan, May 7-8, 2009, despite the threat of the strong typhoon that made a landfall in Pangasinan north of Manila. Barrio people and guests crowded the street to watch the kapitana, kapitan, hermano, hermana, their "abay" and the long processions highlighted with colorful and beautiful fireworks in the evening. Thanks be to God through the intercession of our patron saint, the Fiesta was celebrated in great jubilation!

Karera ng Bao ng Niyog
(Coconut Shell Race)

Need: Even number of boys and girls 7 – 10 years old; several pairs of coconut shells depending of the number of players.
Each player must have a pair of coconut shells with strings about 1 meter long depending on the height of the player. String must be firmly knotted securely at the bottom inside the shell.

Children (mixed boys and girls) form 2 lines. On the starting line the players stand side by side. Players put coconut shells under feet placing the string between the big toes and the small toes while holding on to the loose end of the string or rope.
At the signal, the players walk with the coconut stilts towards the goal or the finish line and turn around to return to the starting line. Players give the coconut stilts to the next player in line and walk to the finish line. The process continuous until the last players had their turns. The first team that finishes the race wins the game.

With the bucket of water players walk from the starting line to the finish line and turn around to return to the starting line without spilling any water. Players had the bucket of water to the next players who do the same thing. The team that finishes first with more water left in the bucket wins the race.

They walk as fast as they can from the starting point to the turning point and then return to the line to turn over the spoon with the egg to the next player without dropping the eggs. If a player drops the egg this player picks up the egg, puts it back in the spoon and continues to play.
The next players repeat the movement until everyone in the team has had a turn. The first team to finish wins the game.

Egg Toss

Need: 1 dozen eggs. 12 pairs of players

The leader starts another round.

Need: A lot of safety pins, couples (husbands must be out of sight). With only the wives standing still have another player pin clothespins everywhere in the clothes (front, back, lower hem, sleeves, neck collar, skirt, pants, etc. Bring the husbands in and have them look for the pins. The one that finds the most pins wins the game. (No coaching please!).

Players: Boys and girls 6 – 12 years of age

Children form 2 teams (“night” team and “day” team). They stand 10 feet away opposite each other. Two lines are drawn on the ground and the teams stay behind their designated safe line. The top part of the shoe/slipper is assigned to the “day” team and the bottom part of the shoe/slipper is assigned to the “night” team.
The leader tosses the wooden shoe/slipper into the air while the players watch how it is going to land on the ground. If it falls down with the top of the wooden shoe facing up, the “Day” team tags the “Night” team. Anyone tagged becomes a part of the “Day” team. If the wooden shoe/slipper falls facing down the “Night” team tags the “Day” team. The tagged players then become part of that team. The players can only tag other players up to the safe line drawn on the ground.
Whichever team tags the most players wins the game.

Ankle Race

Need: Children 5-10 years old. Draw starting point and turning points. Form 2 teams.

Feather Race

Each child holds a paper plate with a feather on it; walks to the turning point; goes back to the starting line and hands the paper plate with feather on to the next player.

Lollipops

Need: Children and 1 less lollipop than the players
Place the lollipops on a straight line across from the children. At a given signal, the children run and take a lollipop each. The child that does not get a lollipop is eliminated but is given 1 lollipop for consolation prize. The game continues until all lollipops are gone.

Nut/Corn Race

Need: Children 5-8 years old; 2 bowls of nut/corn for each team. Draw starting and turning points.
Players stand behind the starting points. Place the bowls full of nuts/corn at the starting points. Place empty bowls at the turning points. From the starting points each player scoops up as many corn/nuts on the back of their hands and drops them into the empty bowl and runs back to the team. Some nuts/corn will fall off along the way; these may not be picked up. The next players do the same thing. The team that gets the most nuts/corn in the bowl wins the game.
Fruit Race

Need: Children 5-8 years old, fruits and ruler/pencil.
Children form 2 teams of equal number of players. Each team is given a fruit and a pencil or ruler. At the go signal, the first players roll the fruit with the pencil/ruler to the turning points and back to the line. They give the ruler/pencil to the next in line and do the same thing. The first team to finish wins the game.

Fruit Basket Upset

Heart is so big to keep us close and dear
Advices are always wise and best for us
Presence is a remedy when child is ill
Patiently and silently weeps when in pain
Youth once and now is a good mother

Many sleepless nights from birthing on
Our triumphs make her feel great and proud
Teaching children to be kind and polite
Holds children gently in time of sorrows
Endless love for all her children is marvelous
Religiously raising us to have a bright future
Sacrifices she endures are truly incredible

Devotion to the family is everlasting
Admirable model for her growing children
Your love is the foundation of an ideal family

Santacruzan (The Queen of Filipino Festivals)

2008-04-04T10:47:00.000-07:00

Mula sa “Mga Pahina ni Laura,” www.hagonoy.com
(Thanks to the Filipino-American Society of Central Illinois)

Filipinos love fiestas. They are celebrated all-year round. All over the country, especially in the summer months, May is the merriest and the time beautiful month of the year. It is the season of colorful festivals and Flores de Mayo or Santacruzan is one such festival.

Santacruzan is held annually in the warm month of May and is considered to be the “Queen of Filipino Festivals.” Beautiful town belles are selected to participate in this colorful pageant parade. The stars are selected not for the looks alone, but for their embodiment of traditional feminine qualities. It is a week-long street pageant in almost every town, from the dirt road to the metropolis honoring beautiful Philippine maidens and their hands escorts under the hand-carried bamboo arches adorned by fragrant native flowers.

May is also the month dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, mother of Christ. Filipinos turn each of the 31 days in May into a charming tribute to the virginal virtues in Flores de Mayo – the flowers of May fiesta. Spiritual virtue seeks to reach even the young. Every day in May, children, will carry flowers and baskets of petals in hand, march down the church center aisle. As the children march down the aisle they sprinkle the fragrant petals for Mama Mary. This custom is called “alay sa Birhen.” In Filipino, because it is an offering (alay) to the virgin (birhen), at the main altar, the youngsters sing hymns to Lady Immaculate, and leave their bouquet of flowers loose.

The festivity commemorates the search of the Holy Cross by Queen Helena (Reina Elena) and her son, the newly converted emperor Constantine. The Holy Cross was found in Jerusalem and brought back to Rome. There was a joyful celebration for thanksgiving.

Nine days of prayer (a novena) in honor of the Holy Cross precedes the Flores de Mayo or Santacruzan. This festival was introduced by the Spaniards in the Philippines and has since become part of Filipino tradition identified with youth, love and romance.

This colorful pageant parade is arranged in this order:

1. Methuselah – he is bearded, bent with age, riding a cart looking preoccupied with toasting some grains of sand in a pan over a fire. This is a reminder that all that glitters will end up as dust like what he is toasting.

2. Reina Bandera – a young lady dressed in a long red gown carrying yellow triangular flag. She represents the coming of Christianity.

3. Aetas – represent the state of the country before the coming of Christianity. These are the uncovered Filipino pagans.

4. Reina Mora – represents the dominant religion before Christianity (feminine of Moro from the Moslem religion).

5. Reina Fe – symbolizes the virtue of faith – the first of the theological virtues. She carries a cross.

6. Reina Esperanza – symbolizes the virtue of hope – the second theological virtue. She carries an anchor.

7. Reina Caridadad – symbolizes the virtue of charity – the third theological virtue.
She carries a heart.

8. Reina Abogada – the defender of the poor and the oppressed. She wears a black graduation cap (toga) and gown and she carries a big book.

9. Reina Sentenciada – has her slim hands bound by a rope. She is the symbol of the innocents who have been convicted. She is accompanied by two Roman soldiers.

10. Reina Justicia – a personification of the “mirror of justice.” She carries a weighing scale and a sword.

11. Reina Judith – representing Judith of Pethulia who saved her city from the Assyrians after she beheaded the cruel holoferns. She carries the head of the beheaded man on one hand and a sword on the other.

12. Reina Sheba – who visited the famed King Solomon and was overwhelmed by his wisdom, power and richness. She carries a jewelry box.

13. Reina Esther – the biblical Jewish who spared her countrymen from death and destruction through timely intervention with the King Xerxes. She carries a scepter.

14. Samaritana – the woman who Christ spoke to at the well. She carries a jug on her shoulder.

15. Veronica – the woman who wiped the face of Jesus. She carries a bandana imprinted with the three faces of Jesus.

16. Tres Marias:

Mary Magdala – she carries a bottle of perfume.
Mary, mother of Christ – she carries a handkerchief.
Mary, mother of James – she carries a bottle of oil.

17. Marian – celebrating the many titles of the Virgin Mary.

a. A-V-E, M-A-R-I-A – represented by eight (8) girls all wearing long white dresses with wings to make them look like angles. Each one carries a letter to complete the word “AVE MARIA.”

b. Divina Pastora (Divine Shepherdess) – she carries a shepherdess’ staff.

c. Reina de las Estrellas (Queen of Stars) – she carries a wand with a star.

d. Rosa Mystica (Mystical Rose) – she carries a bouquet of roses.

e. Rosa Paz (Queen of Peace) – she carries the symbol of peace.

f. Reina de las Propetas (Queen of Prophets) – she carries an hour glass.

g. Reina del Cielo (Queen of Heaven) – she carries a flower. She has two angels.

h. Reina de las Virgines (Queen of all Virgins) – she carries a rosary and is surrounded by two little angels.

i. Reina de la Flores (Queen of Flowers) – she carries a bouquet of flowers.

18. Reina Elena (Queen Helena) – the legendary founder of the true Cross represented by the small cross she carries. She is escorted by her son, Constantine.

The procession is followed by the steady beat of rondalla, playing and singing “Dios te Salve.” The devotees walking with the procession hold lighted candles in their hands and singing the prayer.

Dios te Salve (Hail Mary)

Dios te Salve Maria
Llena eres de gracia
El señor es contigo
Bendita tu eres
Entre todas las mujeres
Y bendito es el fruto
Y bendito es el fruto
De tu vientre Jesús.

Sancta Maria Madre de Dios
Ruega por nosotros
Pecadores ahora
Y en la hora
De nuestra muerte. Amen. Jesús

Alter the processión there is a pabitin that serves as a culminating activity for all the children to enjoy. Pabitin is a square trellis where goodies (candy, fruits, etc.) are hung by strings. This trellis in turn is tied to a rope and is suspended on a strong branch or pole. The children gather under the trellis and they jump as high as then can to try to pick the goodies as the trellis is lowered to them while someone pulls it up and down repeatedly until all the goodies are gone.

Note: For the Santacruzan to be more exciting, the chosen Reina Elena is kept secret until the day of the parade to surprise the people. It is requested that male members attending the Santacruzan wear Barong Tagalog and the women wear any Filipino costumes, if available.

Easter Egg Hunt 3-22-2008

2008-03-23T20:51:00.000-07:00

Caution!!! You are about to enter a “NO Egg Hunting Zone.” Oh, yes, the parents were warned about the Easter eggs all over the ground, by the swimming pool, in the woods, and on the dining tables of the Valley Lakes Recreation Center. Although the Easter Bunny hid most of them there were a lot of eggs that the children could very easily spot. They are very smart! They seem to know where to look to find them. The news telling that the Easter Bunny came to spend the afternoon with them dozens of children got very excited; they even chanted “Where is the Bunny? “Where is the Bunny?” “Where is the Bunny?” It took a little while for the Easter Bunny to come out and to keep the children from getting tired waiting for him Laura Corpuz taught them an Easter Bunny song that goes...

Ako’y taga-Luson, ikaw ay Bisaya
Saka siya nama’y sa Mindanaw mula,
Magkakaiba man sa ugali’t wika
Tayo ay iisa sa puso at diwa.

Iisa ang ating bayan at watawat
Mga anak tayo nitong Pilipinas:
Kaya nga halina at magyakap-yakap
Sa isang damdamin at isang pangarap.

EMILIANA S. TERRAZA

Excellent memory of World War 2
Moral support she extends to relatives
Industrious woman then and now
Loves to cook Filipino delicatessen
Influential in character building of children
Affable and very soft-spoken individual
“Nanay,” she’s called by young and old
Affectionate, loving and caring mother

Sound decisions she makes for the family

Tender loving care she gives the grandchildren
Example of humility she shows everyone
Respect she earns for being truthful
Rejoices silently when relatives succeed
Always ready to give assistance to many
Zodiac sign is the “Aquarius”
Admires all of God’s creation

MARCIANA M. REYES

Moderate and humble in her dealings with people
“Apo” Enteng was a wonderful spouse to her
Respected by extended families and friends
Courteous, honest, and very polite individual
Increasing number of grand children is her joy
Always assisting her families that are in need
Naturally nice, loving, and caring mother
Aquarius is her zodiac sign

Memories of World War II are incredible

Regarded as “Nanay” by most Filipinos
Equal and fair treatment she gives everyone
You’d love her motherly and friendly attitude
Equipped with plenty of cooking utensils
Self-sacrificing person from childhood to womanhood.
