LESSON No.2: Philippine Festivals: The Origin
Learning Competencies:

• Describe the origins and cultural background of selected Philippine festival/s.​


Sagot :

Answer:

Festivals in the Philippines offer people a chance to exhibit their rich culture and pay homage to the history and patron saints. They are vibrant, big, and celebrated with a lot of pomp and show. No wonder, each province has its own Filipino Fiesta that they are very proud of.

Tourists from all over the world visit the Philippines not just to see its beautiful beaches and breathtaking sights, but also to experience the country’s grand festivals that, without a doubt, makes it more fun in the Philippines.

The origin of the word 'festival' can be traced to the Latin 'festa' meaning 'a religious holiday'. The adjective connected with 'festa' was 'festivalis', and that word came into English, via French, as the adjective 'festival' ('relating to a religious feast').
