Dungog: Indigenous Peoples Festival 2009
This October 2009, the country celebrates the Indigenous Peoples (IP) Month at the Villareal Stadium in Roxas City, Capiz from October 2-6, 2009.
The title of this year's celebration is "DUNGOG," a Hiligaynon term, which literally means "dignity" and to other communities, "to listen." The celebration will bring representatives from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, in which traditional and cultural practices of 18 major communities will be highlighted.
The Welcome Ceremony will highlight three special events: (1) DUAG TUMANDOK: Solidarity Parade, which will mark the beginning of the celebration and is symbolic of the union of the IP’s in their celebration of peace and their solidarity in proclaiming the unique colors of their heritage as seen through their traditional clothing. Community Elders/Leaders shall be leading the inter-cultural and inter-regional opening ritual; (2) BUNGGAD / UMPISA will feature short performance pieces in the form of chants, songs, dances and movements descriptive of the groups’ cultural living traditions; and (3) DAYON ! (Welcoming of Guests to the IP Houses), where the Indigenous Peoples will be officially welcoming the guests to their traditional homes as part of their efforts of advocating cultural exchange and traditional arts and cultural preservation.
