    ACITIVITY 1

    Three festivals that are celebrated in our region. And activities that showcase different arts in our
    region.
     Tinagba Festival, Iriga City
    3

    Tinagba Festival is a yearly celebration in Iriga City, Camarines Sur during the
    month of February. It is a harvest-offering occasion that also celebrates the feast of
    Our Lady of Lourdes. The festival originally started from the rituals of the earliest
    Bicolanos who offered their harvest to their gods as a way of thanksgiving and
    requesting for a more abundant harvest. Tinagba Festival, a secular event, is a pure
    tourist attraction for both locals and international visitors drawn from different parts
    of the world. Tinagba Festival is an annual event. It is held in February, in Iriga City
    of Camarines Sur province. This tradition has existed for many years – it is because
    of this pagan ritual that this amazing event still exists today. Tinagba Festival also
    coincides with Our Lady of Lourdes feast, so there is still some religious significance
    to it. The main point of this festival is for locals to offer their first harvest of the year,
    as a celebration.
     Ibalong Festival, Legazpi

    Ibalong Festival is a colorf ul week-long event that draws both locals and
    foreigners to sample the culture and lifestyle of the people of Legazpi City. The
    Ibalong Festival doesn’t take off religion or harvest. The festival is based on the
    Ibalong Epic, which tells of the story Ibalon who was joined by three legendary
    heroes, Batlog, Handyong, and Bantong reside. The three heroes rid the town of
    monsters, saved the people from a great flood, and laid the laws of the land. People
    parade in the streets wearing masks and costumes to imitate the appearances of the
    heroes and the villains, portraying the classic battles that made their way into the
    history of Bicol.
    The Ibalong Festival aims to express warmth and goodwill to all people; visitors
    and tourists are encouraged to celebrate with the Bicolanos. The Ibalong Festival is
    also known as the Ibalon Festival.
     Peñafrancia Festival, Naga

    In Naga, in the Bicol region in the center-west of the Philippines, September is


    a time of intense religious and civic celebration organized around devotion to Bicol’s
    patron, Our Lady of Peñafrancia, who is endearingly referred to by her local devotees
    as Ina, or Mother. The Peñafrancia festival has come to be an important marker of
    the city’s identity, so much so that Naga often refers to itself as the “pilgrim city” in
    its public relations initiatives. The city is even home to a massive triumphal arch, the
    Porta Mariae, with a gold image of Our Lady of Peñafrancia on top. The celebration
    for the Divino Rostro or the Divine Face, usually held in the second week of
    September, is to pay homage to the image of Jesus Christ. People’s devotion to the
    Divino Rostro may have begun in 1882 during a sudden spread of cholera from
    Manila that reached Naga City.
    Considered the biggest and most popular religious event in the Philippines,
    the Peñafrancia fiesta is in fact a one-week affair that starts on the second Friday of
    September when the miraculous Ina is transferred from her shrine to the centuries-
    old Naga Metropolitan Cathedral where a nine-day novena and prayers are held in
    her honor. Ranking government officials, Cabinet members, ambassadors, provincial
    governors and board members, mayors, senators, congressional representatives of
    the Bicol Region, business/industry leaders, landlords, employees of the government
    and state firms, etc., vie for the distinct honor of sponsoring novena masses and
    prayers at the Naga Cathedral during the novena period.
