San Isidro Labrador ( FIESTA )

The FIESTA is the Filipino’s ultimate community expression. It is the community’s eternal moment, when the present is   collectively experienced now, with the past brought to bear now, and future expectations entertained now.   In short,   “eternity in an hour.”

Fiesta  in Pangpang this year means many things. A celebration of the Saint’s feast day( San Isidro Labrador) . Thanksgiving for the Lord’s and the land’s bounty. A testimonial to labor and its fruits. An affirmation of human bonds. A toast to the good life.

the feast of San Isidro Labrador, patron saint of farmers, whose feast day coincided with the coming of the monsoon. He becartle the rain god. San Isidro was ichnographically represented by an ox pulling a plow. Spaniards introduced the carabao and plow to the islands which farmers saw as gifts of their titular saint. No other invention has done more to lighten man’s daily work. Civilization starts with the plow, the reason why the Greeks regarded Triptolemus, its inventor, as the founder of Greece. With the plow, the Filipino graduated from subsistence to surplus farmer, releasing other members of the community for other pursits.

FLORES DE MAYO

The summer month of May is when flowers are in full bloom. The fragrance of many flowers float in the air, kalachuchi, rose, and the sampaguita—the Philippines’ National Flower. It is also a month of many festivities in the country, chief of which is Flores de Mayo (Flowers of May). It is mostly dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary,  each of the 31 days of the month is a floral tribute to the virtues of the Virgin.

Nine days of prayer—the novena—is held prior to the main festivities. When May rolls around, children begin carrying baskets of flowers while marching down the church aisles every day and sprinkling the petals for Mary. The church altar and aisles are festooned with flowers of various arrangements. People sing hymnals to the Lady Immaculate while offering their flowers. This is called Alay sa Birhen (Offering to the Virgin).

In my Town in Pangpang we celebrate  Flores de Mayo with the Children Praying Rosary, Singing and offering flowers, and they make games after they offer flowers, while the young children  are playing and doing coloring books.
