    Philippine festivals are celebrations to express gratitude for a


    good harvest in honor of the town's patron saint. ... For many
    Filipinos, fiestas are important because of the miraculous power
    of the saints. It is believed that the saints are responsible for all
    the good fortune and favor one receives. Festivals contribute
    immensely to feelings of social cohesion. Many such
    celebrations focus on cultural or ethnic topics and seek to inform
    community members of their traditions. They involve
    community elders sharing stories and experiences; setting
    templates for maintaining unity among families. Festivals are
    important if we are to understand our history, from social trends
    to the economy. They record the patterns of cultural change,
    bring communities together and broaden our cultural horizons.
    Preservation of culture can be achieved by keeping cultural
    elements, such as food, clothing, shelter, and language and can
    take many forms. One such way to do so is to display tangible
    cultural assets in museums. Generally, this method is considered
    as “authentic” and “memorializing” preservation.
    Similarly, festivals can contribute to the preservation of
    intangible cultural assets such as living cultural knowledge,
    identity, meaning, and core values embedded in certain
    traditional customs or rituals, which museums cannot adequately
    display.
    Due to its flexibility, the festival format can preserve and
    transmit significant meaning and core values of a culture in
    more active or communicative and interactive ways.
    Festivals share a characteristic of celebration, providing the host
    community with a specially delineated time and space in which
    to recognize and raise public awareness regarding cultural
    significance. Symbols and rituals in a traditional festival can
    give shape to an abstract tradition, and creative, modern ways
    are sometimes utilized for this cultural representation.
