Celebrating New Year means being grateful and starting a brand new change. We need to be thankful for all the blessings that we have received, and the experiences that taught us to be stronger and wiser. It can also be about changing our habits, perception and anything else that we want to improve in our life. It gives us the hope for a better tomorrow and a new beginning. And you can celebrate all of these during the festival of Bailes de Luces.
To honor their gratitude for the past year and the hope that a new year brings, the MunicIpality of La Castellana in Negros Occidental celebrates the festival of Bailes de Luces or Dances of Lights.
Found on the foot of Mount Kanlaon, the municipality of La Castellana goes all out to celebrate the Bailes de Luces Festival. The festival started in the year 2000, where a fire torch called “sulo” was still used back then. There are street dancing and competitions during the week-long celebration starting December 30, every year. It was in 2012 when the festival was largely recognized through the afternoon show “Showtime” on an inter-town finals competition. Since then the district has been receiving a lot of visitors just to experience the festival for themselves.
There are street dancing and various events during the festival. On every 5th day of January, the Charter Day of La Castellana, they hold the Bailes de Luces Festival Arena Dance Competition to conclude the magnificent celebration. The competition is held in the evening to better enjoy the display and the whole event. The competitors use Light Emitting Diodes or LEDs in their performances. They also wear colorful and vibrant costumes. This lively show portrays the dancing lights that they celebrate every year.
The competition is among the residents of La Castellana, schools and barangays. Last January 5, 2018, the categories for the competition were elementary, high school and barangay. Winners of the competition received an award and prize money for their wonderful performances.
You will not be able to stop yourself from joining on the cheers of the crowd and be wowed by everything that is happening on stage. The lights are truly magnificent against the dark. The dazzling changing colors are bright and fun to watch. Many tourists, local or foreign, go to La Castellana just to watch it with their own eyes.
Mark your calendars and save the date for the next Bailes de Luces Festival. If you miss it now, you would have to wait for a year just to witness it. Watching it unfold with your own eyes is a remarkable experience that you should not miss. It is an awesome way to wrap up the holidays.

The three reasons why understanding the corporate culture is important because it gives us the people good communication and build a new relationship to others. festival is important to the different places and as a student we can relate to this subject because its all about diversity it tells that we need to respect the different traditions , culture nd beliefs of each people. we need to respect , value and loved the history of each places.
Preservation of culture and arts are important because in that way we can learn that the culture and arts are still exist.Understanding corporate culture is important because first,each one of us has different cultures that we follow .

Understanding other people's cultures is important to me. Giving my own respect, value, and love allows me to accept and demonstrate my genuineness to others. First and foremost, respecting their culture is important to me because they, like me, have their own beliefs and traditions. Second, valuing their culture by demonstrating to them that no matter how diverse we encounter through culture, we are still the same human that God created. Third, love will give you an understanding of their culture because if you love your fellow human, you will learn how to love and practice their own beliefs and traditions without gossiping about them to others.
Municipality of La Castellana in Negros Occidental celebrates the festival of Bailes de Luces or Dances of Lights. It started in December 2000 where the people of La Castellana celebrated a week-long celebration that starts every December 30. They are known for their preservation in their culture and arts because a lot has already happened in a year but still they have kept the tradition going. It is because the one who is in charge to handle this kind of event is very knowledgeable and wise in handling the people who are working and participating in this event. Next, it is because of the well functioned culture that aids people in aiming what they should achieve and meeting the standards. The culture is somehow that describes and reflects the city as a whole, it helps people determine what to expect. The reason why understanding the corporate culture is important is because a firm company culture gains more talented people and it help the company produce more better outcomes.
Industrial Psychology relate the culture and arts of Cadiz city by Respect, Embracing both your differences and your similarities, you are increasing your respect for and empathy for other people and their culture Increasing your "cultural awareness" will enable you to interact with others in your environment more meaningfully.We can better understand one another by immersing ourselves in cultures outside of our own and learning about their origins, customs, and communal struggles.it can also applied to out subject which can analyze and understand human behavior that cadiz city has.
Understanding corporate culture is very important to avoid discrimination. If you are a worker in an organization with an open-minded people and respect just the way you are then it can help not just you but the whole people working in that organization to work efficiently and effectively because they don't have to think that someone will judge them just because they are different. It is also important because undertanding this topic means that you are ready to accept everyone that is different from you in terms of culture. It shows that you have respect towards other people and you are not just respecting them but you are also giving them their freedom. Lastly, having different culture in an organization will be very difficult because of the adjustments that you have to make and also the different things that you have to understand but if you have the knowledge and understanding about the corporate culture then you will not just accept their culture but also little by little you will also give value to it. You will be interested in knowing more about them and be happy that even a little you, have knowledge about their culture.

In our subject, INPSYC, understanding corporate culture in Cadiz City is important in terms of their beliefs, values, and behaviors because, in one city, these three things will be around for a long time and will influence their behaviors and performance. Just like our subject, INPSYC focuses on more individual and personal attributes such as connectivity and morale. When we understand and respect what their cultures are, we can embrace them and give them importance automatically, just like their preservation of their culture and arts. Giving them respect is really a good sign that we don't disrespect them.

Preservation of Culture and Arts are one way of keeping our connection to our past and most importantly to the people that has different culture from us. Cultural Preservation strengthens our sense of unity, makes better relationships and promotes diversity. It is very important to understand culture so that we could avoid misunderstandings and conflicts from people that has different culture from us and of course it will help us to be more aware and sensitive enough in dealing with people that has different cultural identities.
