Sanico 11 -ABM Reading and Writing Skills (LAS 3 - A) Activity 1: “Match It” TR wN = >>baw> Activity 2: “Let’s Underline” Northern Mindanao is a region rich in culture, which can be seen in their numerous festivals. One of the most popular festivals in the region is the Higalaay Festival in Cagayan de Oro City. They celebrate the feast day of St. Augustine every 28th day of August. Another festival is Kaamulan festival in Bukidnon. It is an ethnic cultural festival wherein people allocate a relative amount of their time to remember the culture and traditions of the seven ethnic tribes in their area. It is also considered as a thanksgiving festival to celebrate their bountiful harvest. Moreover, another famous festival in the region is the Lanzones festival in Camiguin, which is a 4-day celebration of this fruit. It is held every 3rd week of October. It is essential to note that the sweetest Lanzones can be found in the islands of Camiguin. Regularly celebrating different causes as one whole community shows that the citizens of Region 10 value camaraderie and friendship. Some parts of this region are known to have preserved their tribal beliefs and customs. An example is the Higaunon, a mountain tribe in Bukidnon. Apparently, they still believe in the existence of spirits and gods. Furthermore, they have a god for each element. Another superstition is they need to please the spirits so they will experience something good in return. People in this tribe still live according to their traditions with farming as their primary source of income. Additionally, the ancestors of its current inhabitants mentioned that the region was occupied by four tribes but when northern- central Mindanao was divided into provinces, migrants from Visayas and Luzon began to dominate the region. Since that happened, the tribal communities went to the mountains and forests to continue living out their cultural heritage. The region’s culture can also be seen in their establishments and churches. These include: the Immaculate Conception Parish Church in Misamis Oriental, Macapagal- Macaraeg Heritage House in Lanao Del Norte, General MacArthur Maker and Saint Augustine Cathedral in Cagayan de Oro. These places represents a glimpse of Northern Mindanao’s history because the events that occurred in these locations moulded Region 10 to be what it is today. The province of Camiguin is home to century old churches such as the Santo Rosario Church and Old Catarman Church Ruins. Baylao Church is considered as a miraculous place because a lot of individuals connect it to how its existence saved numerous lives during the eruption of Mount HibokHibok. Besides that, there are also a lot of ancestral homes that can be found in this region that date back all the way to the Spanish era.
