  • Reliving the Music in the Journeys of Nuestra Señora De La Paz Y Buen Viaje: Antipolo Baroque to Twentieth-Century Manila Ma
    Reliving the Music in the Journeys of Nuestra Señora de la Paz y Buen Viaje: Antipolo Baroque to Twentieth-century Manila Ma. Patricia Brillantes-Silvestre Eres mi Madre, plácida Maria; Tú mi vida serás, mi fortaleza; Tú en este fiero mar serás mi guia. -Jose Rizal A la Virgen María, 1880 The Philippine rites of Mary are many and varied, each with its own unique character and homegrown tradition. These range from solemn novena to ecstatic procession, quaint poem-and-flower offering to lilting song and dance, arduous pilgrimage to carefree fiesta. These may take place on land or river, country shrine or city basilica, small community inroad or wide, expansive boulevard. But all are marked by a massive outpouring of affection and tenderness. The cult of Mary in the Philippines has grown from simple folk expression in early times to an imposing display of organized faith in the colonial era, backed by the Church itself and the cabildo or city government (Summers 1998 204), and in more recent times, propped up by a network of wealthy patrons, schools, commercial establishments, and an assortment of civic, artistic and religious organizations. For a people who call themselves in a Marian hymn, “un pueblo amante de María” (a people who love Mary), and who address Mary as “Mama” in such familial terms, these rites represent distinct personal relationships with the Mother of God, hence the variety of expression. This paper focuses on Our Lady of Antipolo, one of the most popular and historic shrines in the country. Our Lady of Antipolo Antipolo is a small town southeast of Manila, situated on a foothill of the Sierra Madre mountain range in Luzon.

  • Art-Q4module7-Sculpt
    SCULPTURE Overview In the previous modules, you were already introduced to different art elements and design principles as manifested from different Philippine arts – from simple basket and mat weaving of different indigenous and cultural communities to the highly sophisticated textile weaving from Northern to Southern Philippines. You are also familiar with the Angono petroglyphs, the Laguna copperplate inscriptions,. In this module, you will understand how Philippine sculpture evolved from its simplest form as manifested in clay potteries of Maitum, the Manunggul jar, the bul-ol, and the pre-historic Angono cave art to the highly- Christianized period of Chinese artisans in Manila and the Paete woodcarvers in Laguna and the western- inspired, modern era of sculptors Napoleon Abueva, Guillermo Tolentino, Ed Castrillo, and Jun Yee among others. You will also experience how to create your own sculpture and make an assemblage from available and seemingly useless trash and discards.

  • SOURCES and INFLUENCES Various Design Traditions And
    SOURCES AND INFLUENCES Various design traditions and building technologies have been introduced, applied, and assimilated in the various forms of Philippine architecture. The Southeast Asian Tradition Anthropologists theorize that the cultures of Southeast Asia have a common root, as shown in similarities in their languages classified by linguists as belonging to the Austronesian language family. One of the world’s largest language families, it stretches more than halfway around the world from Easter Island, its easternmost distribution, to Madagascar, its westernmost. It encompasses the islands Southeast Asia, Micronesia, Polynesia, parts of the Malay Peninsula, South Vietnam, Taiwan, the coastal pockets of New Guinea, and, some theorize, Japan. The common culture revealed by these related languages can explain why similar features are found in Southeast Asia, namely, pile or post construction, saddleback roof, and decorative gable-finials shaped like carabao horns. The use of piles or stout posts to raise the floor of the ethnic house is seen, with variations all over the Philippines, both among lowland communities and tribal groups. The bahay kubo (nipa hut) is usually built with wooden posts as its framework. The four posts of the Ifugao house, which is both granary and home, is distinctive for circular rat guards, while the Maranao torogan (sleeping place) stands on stout log posts resting on round stones. Houses built on the sea, like the Badjao houses, are raised on slim posts or stilts. Although Philippine ethnic houses generally lack the graceful curve characteristic of saddleback roofs of the architecture of the Minangkabau in Sumatra or the noble houses at Lemo, Tana Toraja, Sulawesi, their hip roofs are closely related to the saddleback type.

  • Chapter Sixteen Our Apostolate Today Epilogue
    Chapter Sixteen Our Apostolate Today Epilogue HOUSES OF FORMATION St. Vincent's Seminary We have already seen that the House of Karuhatan, in Polo, Bulacan was first occupied in 1948 by Fr. Juguera with four Filipino novices and one lay Brother, to whom were soon added a group of novices, scholastics and two priests exiled from China. In 1950 our Apostolic School, St. Vincent's Seminary was established there. In 1953 a new building was erected for Minor Seminarians. Most Reverend Gaetano Mignani, C. M., a missionary Bishop expelled from China, blessed the cornerstone of the new building. On June 17, 1955 the first novices from the Apostolic School were housed also in the Seminary of Valenzuela, Bulacan. They remained there with the Minor Seminarians, until 1960 when they were transferred to San Miguel, Bulacan. On June 8, 1959, through the efforts of the Seminary Rectors, Fr. Eulogio Coello and Fr. Modesto Lopez, a temporary permit was ob­ tained from the Government to operate the school, officially recognizing its offering of "A Complete Classical Secondary Course." Ten years later, on July 7, 1969, another temporary permit was obtained for a "Complete Secondary Course under 2-2 Plan". On June 29, 1970, official Recognition was obtained. From 1950 to 1975, a period of 25 years, there were 631 students who passed through the portals of St. Vincent's Seminary. One hundred fifty-nine of these were able to reach the Novitiate and Major Seminary. All the Filipino Vincentian priests (41) starting from the group of Fr. Macazo and Fr. Ramos were students of this Apostolic School.
