Brief History of the Philippines Folk Dances

Brief History of the Philippines Folk Dances

 

When the Philippines was discovered by Ferdinand Magellan in 1521, it got inhabited by different racial groups: the Indonesians, Malays, and Pygmies. The offspring of the Pygmies were the Negritos whose dances describe their daily activities like the Sinulog, a dual dance where two men use bolos.

For centuries, dancing and singing have been the principal past time of the people. The early Filipinos considered dancing as a religious activity. They performed dances in thanksgiving for a fruitful harvest, a victorious battle and prosperous voyage or recovery from sickness.

During the Spanish period, dancing played an important part in the social activities of the Filipinos. Kumintang, a pantomimed song and dance was the oldest recorded activity among the Christianized Filipinos. The Spaniards introduced different dances such as Fandangos, Lanceros Rigodon, Carinosa and Curacha. Western cultures and dances of other European countries which later became out traditional folk dances.

Nowadays, folk dancing is increasing in popularity. There are numerous fascinating Philippine dances which have already been documented and performed not only in schools but also by various dance troupes well organized by Mrs. Tolentino. The UP Folk Song and dances have performed and showed their prowess in several towns and provinces nearby Manila.

Furthermore, the Bayanihan, Filipinescas, Filipiniana, and others like the Barangay, Ramon Obusan Folkloric Dance troupes have performed outside the country, and their success obtained admiration and appreciation of Filipino culture by the foreigners. Thus, they have brought pride and prestige to the country.

Elements of a Short Story

 

A short story is a fictional work of prose that is shorter than a novel. It focuses on one particular theme that is presented through a structured plot with a specific setting and few characters.

A good story consists of the following elements.

  1. The setting refers to the time and place a story happened. It answers the basic questions when and where. The time and place are also used by the writer to set the mood (atmosphere) of the story.
  2. The characters are the people or animals who have roles in a short story. They give life to the story. Usually, the characters are divided into two groups: major and minor characters.

 

The story centers on the major characters. These characters may be further categorized into protagonist and antagonist.

 

The protagonist is the leading or principal character in a story. He/ She is used usually good in nature but is sometimes flawed too. The protagonist faces a major conflict in the story and tries to resolve it in the end. On the other hand, an antagonist is the opposite of the protagonist. He/ She usually causes the conflict in the story.

 

  1. The plot is the series of events in a story. The plot has five equally important parts.
  2. Beginning action or introduction

It presents the initial event in the story. The author usually introduces the setting and characters in this part.

  1. Rising action

The major conflict or problem is revealed in this part. As the story progresses, the problem gets more complicated. This may also be the part when the protagonist and antagonist struggle with each other.

  1. Climax

It refers to the turning point of the story. The protagonist does something to resolve the conflict. Major twists take place, secrets are revealed, questions are answered, and the biggest decisions are made. This is the most exciting and interesting part of the story.

  1. Falling action

These are the events right after the climax and right before the ending. Problems start to get resolved. In this part of the plot, thins begin to fall into the right place.

  1. Resolution

It is the final event in the story. The conflict is already solved, and the mood of the story becomes light and happy once more. However, there are also sad endings where the author ends the story abruptly leaving it to the readers to guess what actually happened next.
