SEN. LEGARDA PUTS THE SPOTLIGHT ON INDIGENOUS PEOPLE’S RITUALS IN “DAYAW” SEASON 12

As a continuous effort in keeping Filipino traditions alive, the award-winning documentary series “Dayaw” is finally back for its 12th season, which showcases the indigenous culture and customs, on ABS-CBN News Channel (ANC) this September 29, 8:30pm.

In light of this season’s title “Kakaibang Sigla: Our Boundless Energy,” the program focuses on the cycle of life exhibited in traditional societies — from the rituals of baptism and other rites of passage to courtship and marriage, and death. Aside from this, viewers will also get a glimpse of traditional weddings of the Ga’dang of Mountain Province, the T’boli of Lake Sebu and the Sama Dilaut of Tawi-Tawi.

Despite her busy work as a lawmaker, Sen. Loren Legarda, four-term senator and chairperson of the Senate Committee on Culture and the Arts, continues to lead “Dayaw” as its mainstay host.

She pushes for the appreciation of the Filipino arts and culture through exhibiting these vibrant and colorful traditions on television, especially catering to the younger viewers.

“It is paramount that we continue to push for the promotion of Philippine arts and culture precisely because despite the seemingly growing interest in indigenous culture, particularly our textiles and handwoven products, the level of cultural appreciation of our indigenous peoples remains lacking.”

According to her, because of globalization and technological advancements, people overlook the rich and substantial culture the Philippines has to offer. However, with the launching of “Dayaw’s” 12th season, they aim to present and preserve these traditions by using their platform.

Furthermore, the senator emphasized that the goals of “Dayaw” are connected to her work in the Senate. Along with her committee, they filed several bills that concentrate on the enrichment of the Philippine arts and culture.

Since 2015, “Dayaw” has been a vessel in the presentation of the country’s culture, featuring multiple facets of the Filipino customs – from our diverse languages, traditional sports and games, clothing and accessories, to dances and rituals, and culinary heritage.

Senator Legarda thanks the public for all the love the show got throughout its airing. “Dayaw is a project close to my heart and I am proud and thankful for the support it has gained over the years.”

“Dayaw” Season 12 airs every Thursday at 8:30pm on ANC on cable and the ANC Facebook page. For news, follow @ANCalerts on Facebook and Twitter or visit news.abs-cbn.com/anc online or via the ABS-CBN News App. Watch ANC online via iWantTFC.

SEN. LEGARDA, ITATAMPOK ANG MGA KATUTUBONG RITWAL SA “DAYAW” SEASON 12

Sa patuloy na pagsisikap na mapanatiling buhay ang mga tradisyong Pilipino, nagbabalik ang premyadong dokyu series na “Dayaw” para sa ikalabindalawang season nito, na magtatampok ng mga katutubong kultura at kaugalian, sa ABS-CBN News Channel (ANC) ngayong Setyembre 29, 8:30pm.

Pinamagatang “Kakaibang Sigla: Our Boundless Energy” ang bagong season ng programa na itutuon sa buhay ng mga katutubong Pilipino — mula sa mga ritwal ng binyag at iba pang mga seremonya, sa tradisyunal na panliligaw at kasal, hanggang sa mga ritwal ng kamatayan. Maliban dito, ipapakita rin sa mga manonood ang mga tradisyonal na kasalan ng Ga’dang ng Mountain Province, ng T’boli ng Lake Sebu at ng Sama Dilaut ng Tawi-Tawi.

Sa kabila ng kanyang trabaho bilang four-term senator at chairperson ng Senate Committee on Culture and the Arts, patuloy na namumuno sa “Dayaw” si Sen. Loren Legarda bilang pangunahing host nito.

Isinusulong niya ang pagpapahalaga sa sining at kulturang Pilipino sa pamamagitan ng pagpapakita ng mga masigla at makulay na mga katutubong tradisyon sa telebisyon. Layunin niya maipakita ito sa mga kabataang manonood.

“Mahalaga na patuloy nating isulong ang sining at kultura ng Pilipinas dahil sa kabila ng tila lumalagong interes sa katutubong kultura, partikular sa ating mga tela at mga produktong hinabi, ang antas ng pagpapahalaga sa kultura ng ating mga katutubo ay nananatiling kulang.”

Ayon sa kanya, dahil sa globalisasyon at inobasyon teknolohiya, hindi na napapansin ng mga tao ang mayaman at makabuluhang kulturang mayroon ang Pilipinas. Gayunpaman, sa paglulunsad ng ikalabindalawang season ng “Dayaw”, nilalayon nilang ipakita at panatilihin ang mga tradisyong ito sa pamamagitan ng paggamit ng kanilang plataporma.

Napapanood ang “Dayaw” Season 12 tuwing Huwebes, 8:30pm sa ANC sa cable at sa ANC Facebook page. Para sa balita, i-follow ang @ANCalerts sa Facebook at Twitter o bumisita sa news.abs-cbn.com/anc online o sa pamamagitan ng ABS-CBN News App. Pwede ring manood sa iWantTFC.
