“falsas sonrisas” a spanish word for a smiling false face….
false face- means “mask”, in which a person hide their true identity and emotion, just like us “filipino” we do hide our real emotions, we tend to smile were even deep inside our hearth is a sorrowful misery, we use this mask as our external appearance to the public for them not recognize who we are.
project dungganon ..salamat!
“Diwata” Mask
In Philippine mythology, a Diwata, also known as Encantada or Lambana, is a mythological figure similar to fairies or nymphs, although this trivializes the importance of diawata in pre-colonial Philippine culture. 400+ years ago, diawata were seen as gods and goddesses.
“Maanyag”
Maanyag is a Bisaya word for beautiful. The mask will catch your attention almost immediately with its striking and vibrant colors.

“RHODORA”
With it’s opalescent color of pink, lavender, and blue; this mask perfectly reminds me of the strikingly beautiful flower called the Rhodora. Thriving even in wastelands and harsh environments, the Rhodora (like the Bacoleños) adds a colorful infusion into a drab and even challenging external condition. Just as the people of Negros strive to appear optimistic and cheerful despite life’s adversities, the Rhodora is a simple reminder that we should always live life to the fullest no matter what situation we are in. Ralph Waldo Emerson even wrote a poem dedicated to this beautiful flower and said that: ” if eyes were made for seeing, Then Beauty is its own excuse for being”
wow!!! very nice entry 🙂
Final na guid as in final…
Lin-ay sang Kalipay |
Nothing beats the smile of a Bacoleño especially the beautiful Bacoleño women. Their smiles bring joy to some seemingly hopeless situations. A smile is something we can give even in the face of great adversity. 😀
Lin-ay sang Yuhum. Nothing beats a Bacoleño’s smile especially among Bacolod’s beautiful women. This mask symbolizes it all. 🙂
Or Lin-ay sang Kalipay. Bacoleños are known to be cheerful people and so is represented by a woman’s smile. 🙂
La Dolce Vita. It stands for “the sweet life”. For me that best describes the mask above.
” DAGWAY YUHUM DAGYAW” – The three Hiligaynon words that describe on what is Masskara Festival. Its “the face”, “the smile” and “the celebration”. The face that we show amidst its sorrowful beginnings in 1980 that showcases the famous smile that made us known here and abroad, and the the celebration and revelry that everybody would love to join and enjoy.
thanks for the entry nick 🙂
name: Feliz = meaning cheerful..Bacolodnon are cheerful.The mask reminds me of the happy faces,memories and good life here at the city of smiles 🙂
great!!! thanks for your entry kendz 🙂
vit, i so love the Fantasia Kolora bangles… 🙂 I will market it here sa Manila if ok lang sa imo?
sige jam…. e market da. may classic man na na design silver, gold and bronze.
Name: Cotton Candy Mask
The mask reminds me of the common festival fare, blue and pink cotton candy. The beads also look like the multi-colored puffed candy rice me and my parents feed the fish in the Lagoon. I would imagine anyone wearing this mask to look like a candy head.
The name i choose is “ILONGGA” , simple yet outstanding. just like the ilongga woman.
Tessa! for Tessa Valdes Prieto
Name: Cara Bonita
Cara Bonita stands for pretty face as depicted in the mask design. It simply hides the exploitations and oppressions that the Ilonggos had experienced long before and the Bacoleños griefs and sorrows over the lose of their love ones during the 1979 MV Don Juan tragedy which inspired the creation of the Masskara Festival.
good point you got here bro…
Tnx bro…
