FOREIGNERS INVITED TO FILIPINO FIESTA! | KAWASAN FALLS, PHILIPPINES 2018 |


VISITING WATERFALL AND THEN GOT INVITED TO JOIN FILIPINO FIESTA RANDOMLY

Amazing day full of cliff jumping through the Falls. Kawasan Falls is a must see if you make it to Cebu Philippines. The water is as blue as in the video. Cebu has so many amazing things to see and do this was one of the top things we did on our trip to Dumaguete. While driving to the port to return to Dumaguete we got to meet a group of filipino families and enjoy the culture and happiness of people from this small island. They were so amazing. With in 5 minute of meeting them and they welcomed us with open arms to enjoy the local Philippines fiesta that happens once a year on the 31st of January.

__________________________________________________________

The whole year round Philippine fiestas of all kinds mark the Filipino calendar. Not only popular saints but also the most obscure ones are given a place for celebration. Why has this practice been imbedded in the Filipino culture?

To appease the gods—this was a key factor in ancient pagan worship in the Philippines. Mystical religious beliefs before the Spaniards came centered on worshipping gods believed to control certain aspects of life—livelihood, family, health, wealth, and others. To make life better, the belief said, regular ritual offerings to these gods had to be done. The gods seemed quickly angered by the smallest mistakes and vented wrath on livelihood and nature. The practice was somehow carried over into modern times so that one reason still used for Philippine fiestas is to stave off calamities and ill luck, aside from thanksgiving for good harvest, and ask lots of wishes.
