I'm Micronesian. Your videos show me how our people are connected. I may not see it today with Modern Filipinos (besides in our languages), but I see a lot with the precolonial Filipinos. For example, you said they danced for the Anitos. And I already have a feeling of what the meaning of "Anitos" is. In my language we have the word "anu". This means spirits/ghosts which can be spirits of ancestors/deceased relatives or spirits in places like the ocean, in the sky, in the forest, etc. Many dances were dedicated to specific anu for different purposes.
For we are deeply connected in blood and in culture being shared us as Bani Qedem we are part of the Sons of the East...as the Grand Lumad brotherhood dancing in poles of Bamboos as we are one family of Bani Manasseh...the Birthmark of the LUMAD OF THE ISLANDS... BINDINGS AS ONE GRAND LUMAD CULTURE...MAGUINDANAO, YAKAN, TAUSUG, BUTUANON, WARAY (SAMAR AND LEYTE) SUGBUANON, PAYAO OF PANAY, BIKOLANOS, TAGALOG, GRAND LUZONES (TONDO AND CAPANGPANGAN), BONTOK, IFUGAO, PANGASININSE, ILOCOS (LIQUIOS), ETC.
Anito is a Hispanized word of Anu meaning a small Anu or a small spirit. Anu in Pacific Islanders means spirit of the ocean, sea, rivers, mountains, trees, etc.
I think it’s interesting because the Spaniards sort of did a “reconnection” between the Philippines with Micronesia. Lots of Filipinos were imported into Guam and Marianas when the Chamorro population was devastated by the diseases brought by the Spaniards. It’s sad that it happened under such circumstances, but I guess it’s always great when long-distant family meet again.
SINULOG IS A TRADTIONAL CEBUANO FESTIVAL...ITS VERY COLORF.UL... THE PEOPLE OF CEBU CELEBRATES IT EVERY 3RD WEEK OF JANUARY..IVA CEBU........!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sinulog has so many definitions that co-existed. The Vocabulario de La Lengua Bisaya defines it as a Sulu-style dress or jacket. William Henry Scott’s Barangay also mentioned it there hehe.
@@KirbyAraullo Yeahh your efforts on making this video for us the to know deeply the history of Sinulog are very much appreciated ❤️. Keep it up! Looking forward on your videos. 💪☺️
Hello! Off-topic but I iust want to tell you about this video that might interest you. There's this video circulating of a Fil-Am girl who went all the way to California to learn to do an "authentic traditional" Filipino tattoo method called "Tatak." Me and my friends suspect that these teachers just misappropriated the Binatok, called it something else and claimed it "traditional." Have you heard about this? What is your take on things like these? It would be great to hear the take from a historian about it. 😊🙏
I think it makes send if galing yan sa bisaya region. Tatak means something like ink on the skin and the other term is patik which is tattoo. For the new generation like a stamp.
Thanks for the information sir kirby. I hope one day you could have some content about the history of dinagyang in ilo-ilo or something about the Panay.
thank you din! 😊 Actually, I had originally planned on including a little bit about Ilo-ilo's Dinagyang as part of this video but I had to shorten it, otherwise it would be a very long video 😅 But yes, don't worry, I'll make Dinagyang its own video 😊
You should include iloilo dinagyang and atiatihan because this are interconnected to sto niño . These 3 festivals are the mother of all festivals in the Philippines and deep relationship to the pre colonization
I hope you will also cover the Indigenous Subli dance and ritual of Batangas performed in honor of the Mahal na Poong Santa Krus of Bauan and Alitagtag. I feel like that original ritual dance (which is largely still unaltered as it was first recorded during the Spanish era) could shed light into the culture and practices of the precolonial Tagalog people. While it is still largely preserved in Agoncillo, Bauan, Alitagtag, and Batangas City, I still lament how it is taught in schools and portrayed in popular media nowadays elsewhere in the country, as they have basically watered down the ritual and dance into what is basically a Hispanic-esque hat swaying folk dance with weird and unnecessary hip movements, basically severing it from its original spiritual, religious, and maybe even precolonial Tagalog roots.
The processions prior to the Grand Mardigras also have significant meanings. The Penitential Walk With Jesus procession commences the cultural activities. Then the 9 day Novena Mass at the Basilica. On the 9th day would be the Walk with Mary where Our Lady of Guadalupe joins the Sto. Niño at the Basilica. Later on would be the Translacion where both Our Lady of Guadalupe and Sto. Niño will be brought to the St. Joseph National Shrine in Mandaue City, where the Holy Family is reunited. At midnight, the 3 images of the Holy Family goes to another Translacion to the Nuestra Senora Virgen de Regla in Lapu2x City. Before the preparation of the Fluvial Parade after the blessing. Before, only the Sto. Niño and Our Lady of Guadalupe are part of the fluvial parade going back to Cebu city. These past 2 years, the image of St. Joseph takes part of the nautical procession. Aside from honoring the Sto. Niño, the festivity also honors the Holy Family - Jesus, Mary, Joseph, that are also the Patrons of the Major Cities in Cebu - Cebu City, Mandaue City and Lapu2x.
Thank you for featuring the rich beginnings of Sinulog, but I was also waiting for you to mention Baladhay, the adviser of Cebu's Rajah Humabon who was very ill that time and bring into a room where Sto Nino was enthroned. All of them were shocked after a few days when Baladjay get up and dancing to the fundamentals steps of Sinulog (2 steps forward and 1 step backward) seem nothing happened and very much okay..
@@cebuelitemachinesinc.1995 Well Yes and no they are some areas who are not bisaya in some parts of Mindanao like the BARMM and the indigenous groups. They spoke different dialects due to migrate from visayas region to Mindanao. Are you living in PH or in abroad.
Mindanaoan ang surigao, pero continuum sya ng visayas. we the cabalianons of all the municipalities in southern leyte, speak a warayan language with a combination of surigaonon and bol-anon vocabularies.

yes! Festivals are held to celebrate Pagan gods and royal festivities and not for Catholic Saints - it was then changed by the Spanish when they imposed their Imperial rule over the Philippines.
I’m curious to know if the Sinulog was forced to adapt and incorporate the Santo Niño perhaps as a way for our ancestors to preserve the tradition for fear that the colonizers might end it, just as they ended other pre-colonial practices?
Hindi, iniwan ng crew ni magellan yung sto. niño, after ilang dekada bumalik yung mga kastila para manakop ulet, they burned and looted yung mga houses then nakita nila yung isa sa mga bahay na nanduon yung sto. niño at sinasamba pa din ng mga natives so they spared yung ibang bahay na di pa nila nasusunog at tinigil nila yung marahas nilang pananakop. kaya mabilis lang nila nasakop yung mga bisaya kase may ties na sa sto.niño.
One thing you will really not understand and fail to recognize is that this celebration is enamored by Cebuanos not just because tradition but above all it stems from faith. If you will consciously and willfully strip Sinulog from the faith of the Cebuanos, what you will get is just external extravagance and pompous display of art and culture. Certainly, the reason why Sinulog survived for 500 years and passed on by generations of Cebuano all throughout centuries can only be explained through the lens of faith and their deep love of Jesus Christ, herein represented as a child.
the sinulog grand mardigra is just the finale part of the fiesta! the religious part is more important since it is the core of the celebration.. pit senyor bai
Sinolog sa tagalog ay pag gunita, root word ay saulog, ibig sabihin pag gunita sa araw ng pag bigay ng imahin ng santo niño ng mga kastila kay donia juana asawa ni humabon
Baby Jesus dressed by the Visayan like a Child Deity, I don't think you would see baby Jesus dressed like this anywhere in the world but you would see a child dressed like this during a religious ritual somewhere in Asia like a pure god child, the "Santo Nino" looks definitely Asian it might not have look originally the same when the Spanish gifted it to them, it became sort of unique. Just pointing it out 👍👌😉😎✌
Actually, the statue of the Santo Niño was sculpted in Flanders (modern-day Belgium) when both it and Spain were under Habsburg domain. The style is identifiably Flemish and the face even bears an uncanny resemblance to the Infant Jesus of Mechelen likewise sculpted in Flanders around the same period.
It's paint was to my knowledge retouched during the 20th century which may have contributed to its tan. As for the robes, statues of the Christ Child began to be invested in Imperial or Sacerdotal robes during the Renaissance and afterwards like the Infant of Prague, Little King of Beaune, etc.
Hahaha copy cat festival,,ginaya na nga nila ang ati-atihan festival pati pa naman ang araw kung kilan e-celebrate wich is 3rd week of January copy cat talaga mga walang considerasyon 😢😢😢😂😂😂

Does Surigaonon counts as Bisayas in the region? We had also sinulog every year to celebrate the festival.
Mindanao is Bisaya or Cebuano because of immigrants

I lived in Manila for 10 years and never heard of this dance. I'm glad it's well known now. How about history of ati ati han
Sulog in bisaya ,a flow of water or wave
The Holy Roman Empire came from the Habsburg, that is why they share the same emblem.

Did Sinulog come from Muslim Dance? No. Dancing and singing are Haram in Islam. Many Arab singers were murdered by MadMooham.
