SynopsisTimeline

My journey to PCN coordinator began my freshman year I joined Akbayan and became part of Luzonia Family In the spring I decided to try out for an acting role in the 25th PCN where I was casted as the fairy godfather Dr Jose Rizal From there I fell in love with PCN I ran for Public Relations Officer for the following school year and offered to help with the 26th PCN That experience inspired me so much to run for PCN Coordinator for the 27th So here I am today and I couldnrsquot be more excited to share this story with you

- Mia Richelle Guevarra

The story yoursquore about to witness is fictional It was written as if it could have happened and all the characters are a figment of my imagination The inspiration came from a workshop with Professor Kim Komenich He witnessed the EDSA Revolution first hand taking Pulitzer Prize winning photos

This story is not to be confused with the take down of Marcos My intentions are not to highlight any side to be better than another This story is focused on Maria and Ricardo and their laban to be together during an iconic time in Philippine history

Laban in Tagalog means fight Maria and Ricardorsquos story begins a little before the 4 day EDSA Revolution in the Philippines but carries on into it Their families bring them into the revolution yet separating one another by their opposing sides Mariarsquos family supports Aquino while Ricardorsquos family supports Marcos However their involvement with the revolution doesnrsquot keep them apart it brings them closer together During a time where tomorrow is never promised they fight day by day for peace freedom and most importantly their love--- proving that with the right kind of fight or laban tomorrow is guaranteed

SynopsisTimeline

My journey to PCN coordinator began my freshman year I joined Akbayan and became part of Luzonia Family In the spring I decided to try out for an acting role in the 25th PCN where I was casted as the fairy godfather Dr Jose Rizal From there I fell in love with PCN I ran for Public Relations Officer for the following school year and offered to help with the 26th PCN That experience inspired me so much to run for PCN Coordinator for the 27th So here I am today and I couldnrsquot be more excited to share this story with you

- Mia Richelle Guevarra

The story yoursquore about to witness is fictional It was written as if it could have happened and all the characters are a figment of my imagination The inspiration came from a workshop with Professor Kim Komenich He witnessed the EDSA Revolution first hand taking Pulitzer Prize winning photos

This story is not to be confused with the take down of Marcos My intentions are not to highlight any side to be better than another This story is focused on Maria and Ricardo and their laban to be together during an iconic time in Philippine history

Laban in Tagalog means fight Maria and Ricardorsquos story begins a little before the 4 day EDSA Revolution in the Philippines but carries on into it Their families bring them into the revolution yet separating one another by their opposing sides Mariarsquos family supports Aquino while Ricardorsquos family supports Marcos However their involvement with the revolution doesnrsquot keep them apart it brings them closer together During a time where tomorrow is never promised they fight day by day for peace freedom and most importantly their love--- proving that with the right kind of fight or laban tomorrow is guaranteed

The Kalingga borrowed the beautiful word ragragsakan from the Ilocano which means ldquomerrimentrdquo The two biggest occasions for a ragragsakan in a Kalinga village are for the homecoming of successful head takers and the culmination of peace-pact between warring tribes In this dance Kalinga maidens balance labba baskets on their heads wave colorful tribal blankets and sing short salidumay songs as they snake through the terrace dikes and skip through breaks in the path This dance portrays the walk of the industrious Kalingga women carrying water pots on their heads and wearing the colorful hand-woven ldquoblankets of liferdquo around their necks Their walk imitates the climb up the Rice Terraces in the Mountain Provinces of the Philippines

Karatong Gayong Gayong35

In rural gatherings this dance offers much merriment and fun Gayong is a pet name for Leodegario According to the legend and to the words of the song Gayong and Masiong (pet name for Dalmacio) once attended a feast commemorating the death of a townsman While eating Masiong choked on a piece of adobo so he called ldquoGayong Gayongrdquo asking for help to dislodge the adobo from his throat In this dance Masiongrsquos liking for feasts and the consequence of his voracity are held up to playful ridicule

Dance Origin Aklan Capiz

Karatong has male dancers using a karatong or a bamboo tube about a yard lon tied horizontally below the waist and struck by two sticks to tap the rhythm of the dance Female dancers collect flowers from the mango tree The annual parade of San Agustine includes the celebration of blossoming mango trees that grow abundantly on the island of Cuyo the former capital of the Palawan province Starting at the church patio and ending at the town plaza groups of ladies sway their colorful ldquobunga mangardquo which are meant to represent the flowers of the mango tree while the men strike lively syncopated beats with their karatong
