Celebrating Festivals is the way to show the different patron saint or most known products in each provinces. For me Philippines shall promote these festivals to other country because it shows that the Filipinos work as a diverse team. Because festivals are done by different people with different race, age, gender, religion, and color. And it only shows that a diverse nation can stand out as a team through festivals because it is a product of brainstorming. Promoting these festivals will give other countries an ideas that people will stand out if they are working together and make them realize how important teamwork is.

In my opinion, the Philippines should promote their festivals to other countries in order to demonstrate the various cultures and how the Philippines celebrates each tradition. It will also show the world that, despite our differences and traditional values, we can still unite. It is also intended to show to the other country the origins of being a Filipino or their cultural identity. Promoting festivals in the Philippines to make it easier to introduce the essence of being a Filipino to other countries. That Filipinos can come together despite their differences in beliefs. Festivals are also one of the reasons why tourists visit the Philippines. It piques the interest of others who want to learn more about the richness of Filipino culture. Because it attracts people from various countries.

Even at the very pick of each regions or cities of the Philippines, it depicts variety of histories, amazing delicacies, it’s unique and various customs and practices that can be seen through our festival that we are celebrating.

Various festivals of the Philippines also incorporate on introducing us to the world and so it is a must that we should be proud promoting our festivals in different parts of the globe.

Moriones Festival

During Holy Week each year, a biblical re-enactment is seen on the roads of Marinduque. What makes the moriones festival unique is that they tell a story in a very experiencing way. The “Moriones” these are men and women in costumes and masks replicating the garb of biblical Imperial and Royal Roman soldiers as interpreted by locals. Performed as a form of penitence, Moriones Festival is meant to portray the search for Longinus, the Roman soldier who pierced Jesus’ side with a lance during the Crucifixion. Christian or not, this religious pageantry is interesting to say the least.

The festival is also interesting because it starts at April 02 to 12 with mass and other religious activities filling the schedule, throughout the festival, the Morions not only parade their bizarre outfits and eye-catching centurion masks, but they also engage with the crowd through a dance routine, sword fights, and even pranks and surprises. But apart from the fun, the Morions also observe this week to atone for their sins.

That the food served to those who take part in the religious procession is all fish and seafood should come as no surprise. Being an island province, Marinduque is surrounded by waters and is therefore abundant in marine life.

Before I go any further, I’d like to express my pride in being a Filipino citizen, having been born and reared in the Philippines by both of my parents. As a native of this nation, I can attest to the fact that the Philippines has much to offer any tourist who visits. Every town in the country has its own festival that is held every year; it is not only held for fun, but it also signifies a remarkable event from the past that should be remembered. Every festival truly represents the culture and heritage of the town. The majority of the festivals are commemorated through street dance, in which locals of that town hold a competition between groups of dancers who perform in a competition with a specific theme. It has a Workplace diversity is about recognizing, valuing and leveraging people’s differences to enhance communication and team effectiveness. Its really need a teamwork to give thier skills to work together and achieve a common goal. Beacuse you are a diverse group of individuals that need support each other to showcase your talents and ability in performing. All they have to do is perform their dance in order for the audience to know the value of that festive event. Indeed, the diversity of the local inhabitants in that town is reflected in the numerous festivals that we celebrate. The Philippines’ Department of Tourism must promote the numerous festivities that our country has to offer. Not only to make them renowned, but also to appreciate the beauty of the local cities in general, as well as to showcase the wonderful community and local goodies available to visitors. Making vlogs or videos on what festivals the Philippines has to offer and putting them online will arouse people’s interest, and they will want to go celebrate the festival of their choice. It’s one of the most effective ways to promote something these days, and it works.

The Philippines should promote its festivals to other countries primarily because it is one of the way to let other nations know how we live and what we believed. By doing so, this action will surely open new opportunities in business and tourism to gain more investments and profits. And most of all, promoting our festivals is sharing our culture to others in this way we will be able to establish better understanding and good relationship. Showing our true colors to other nationality is the best way to gain their trust and to build friendship which will be a way also for us to learn from them. Basically, when we are sharing our own to others for sure they will do the same for us ,and this will help us to be more diverse and acquire more ideas for the betterment of individual as well as the country.
