SUBLIAN FESTIVAL

Explanation:

The Sublian festival, a two-week-long celebration which culminates every year on the 23rd of July, is rooted in the Batangueños devotion to the town’s patron: the Holy Cross in Bauan and Agoncillo, and the Sto. Niño in Batangas City.

• This religious devotion translated to dance from indigenous to Batangas: the Subli. Traditionally performed to the accompaniment of drums and chanting, the Subli praises the Patron in a combination of poetry, movement, and music.
• The Subli is a traditional folk dance of the Philippines that is still quite popular today. It is a ceremonial worship dance honoring the Holy Cross (or “Mahal Na Poong Santa Cruz” in Filipino) and is celebrated around a large crucifix that has an image of the sun in silver at its center.
• The subli is made up of lengthy prayers, songs, and dances in a predetermined arrangement. The dancers are made up of one, two, or eight couples. The male dancers shuffle in intense fashion and hit the ground using a bamboo stick, while the female, dance with a sophisticated wrist and finger movement.
• Sublian festival features not just devotional dance-song but street dancing indigenous Filipino games, Harana (serenades), the Lupakan, Awitan at Sayawan: an event which combines the sharing of Nilupak (local delicacy made of bananas and sweet potato) with folk songs and dances and even a Malunggayan Fiesta, a day that celebrates the nutritional benefits of the malunggay (moringa) plant. The Sublian Festival also coincides with the city’s founding anniversary.
• The best bit of the event is the Foundation Day and the Sublian sa Kalye (in the street), where partakers will march and dance the subli on the streets. There are around a thousand students who join and perform a street dancing subli. The parade usually takes at least an hour or more to complete.
• One interesting program during the celebration is the Lupakan (making of a snack called nilupak) at Awitan (singing) held at the People’s Quadrangle. Here you can catch a glimpse of how the native snack nilupak is made. And at the same time have a taste of the delectable snack.
