Seminar on Tribal Instruments & Dance

August 19th, 200726 Comments

This is the first of a series of lectures planned to promote and to educate about  tribal instruments and dance. This first lecture was initiated and sponsored by the CYAF and Emily Benosa Homma.

The guest speaker for this event is Mr. Onofre Sungay.

Emily says,

“I think we were lucky to have Onofre Sunggay as speaker for… who knows, he could be somewhere else in UK land soon, unreachable then for any seminar like this.

The CYAF I am advising agreed it was a good start to have constant cultural/educational activities like this as our tradition is dying out unnoticed.

I’ll write a longer report of the community events I witnessed on another page later. “


Tribal Seminar


Thank you to Irene Culbengan for sharing the photos, and to Jocy Quilaman and Eva Santillano for forwarding to the Sagunto Star.

Ay talaga Is opring going to UK to join his wife? good for him but so upsetting maawan man ta maysa nga nag anus piman in promoting cultural inputs. well a challenging programs for the CYAF then to continue such program before everything will vanished.

  2. Emily says:

    Naku, nagpardas talaga ti info ag travel via internet. Naunahan ako flying in the sky. Marami pa ako pctures Nette, mga 100, pinili lang yan nina Irene , Beth and Jocy. Ang bilis mo din mang chop and paste hahaha. Teka nasan na yung pictures ng SK dyan? Hehe, lahat kasi ng group pics nandon ako. E syempre camera ko yan. Agililadak pay lang, ta kasano ngay saanak nakaturog ti 3 nights agururay ti cancellation ti flights gapu ti continuous rain. Hindi na ako nakapunta sa mga big Malls na yan sa Manila. Di bale next time wala na kong bitbit na mga tsikiting when I go shopping. Uminom mak pay ti kape barako.

  3. Emily says:

    Evs, sabi Aunt Estela matagal na nya yan naplano sana, ayaw lang sumipot ni Ofre. Mas malakas ako kay kumpare eh bwahahahaa.

  4. evz says:

    emz apay makaw-awid kan nga talaga well just relax and take your time makapaapal kayo everybody enjoyed the seminar. If the CYAF wants that program to continue on native music and dances they can seek help from the ONCC (office of Northern Cultural Communities) Irene Culbengan (formerly Irene Esteban) and so with her hubby they can be of help. Never mind the malls yet adu dayta diay Japan its just a stores in one building adu dayta diay Japan.

  5. Emily says:

    Tribal Seminar
    My personal insights….

    1. A good twist from the sensational witchcraft brouhaha
    Tapno matay dayta nga pagsasaritaanen, kasapulan nga mangirugi ti baro nga aktibidades. Itaktak mo nga kunada, isunga ala ngarud iyugyog yo tapno dagita nga energy nga nakaaramid ti tsismis rumuar da amin. Hey, mayat koma no every summer nga agpupudot ti tao, ado latta ti proyekto nga mairugi.

    2. A worthwhile activity that connects church and community
    Ta ipapilit met gamin ni Pastor Doods nga ag lead kami ti maysa nga project to observe the UCCP Centennial celebration, daytoy nga undertaking ket na conceive…and I thought the CYAF younger people’s group was the ideal team to initiate it. I realized that the more church activities are laid open to the bigger community, the better communication and relationships are attained. You’ve got to have an ecumenical and friendly gathering to maintain closer cooperation. A little undertaking could be a giant step…ano sa palagay nyo?

    3. Council members and Tribal leaders are always eager to attend activities like this.

    Ni kitaen yo, saan laeng nga ti CYAF ti nag renew ti bonding da, uray met gayam dagitoy lallakay ken babbaket nga leaders ti tribes ken church orgs from Labayug to Asan Norte, to Saytan ket nalaka nga mainvite. Agururay da gayam ti kastoy nga events. Ms. Secretary Irene E. Culbengan, kindly help me list the organizations that attended pls. Adda kaniayo dyay attendance sheet. For one, nag request ni Tribal Chieftain Wag-e tayo kadi ti kastoy nga panagadal ti instrumento isunga nai connect daytoy iti community.

    4. Tradition and Culture have long been neglected
    Nagado ti naadal mi.
    Apay nabaknang tay gayam ti napintas nga kultura nga mabalin nga maaywanan para kadagiti sumaruno nga henerasyon. Kuna dagiti organizers, agaramid kami ti separate sites para mai upload ti DVD versions na dagitoy nga pictures ti seminar tapno uray adinno ti ayan yo, makipagadal kayo. Teka muna, nahihirapan akong i convert itong tapes ko into digital info. Babot and Nette, heeeelp.

    5. The event inspires Micro-business local products making.
    Ketno syak, iyawid ko koma amin dagita inbati ni Ofre, ngem maymayat nga kas pangrugian (ta kunana syak makaamon kadagita inted na nga instrument), irugik met ti maysa nga Trad . instrument museum (kuno) hehehe. Mabalin yo nga buluden dagita nga instrument, agsign kay laeng dita logbook ni Edison Benosa. The materials are all indigenous and available locally so mabalin nga pangrugian met ti baro a business. I know many of you abroad would want to own a good set of instruments…so start making orders from our skillful barriofolks. Dukkangkang, sugaypo, kalaleng, palakapak, tongatong, ken dadduma pay. Kitaen yo apo dagita gangsa nga naiteden aggapot UK. Pito da amin nga barbaro, ngem adda pay uppat nga kayat da nga gatangen…Ti Sagunto Tribe… agururay da ti ited yo. Manggeg yon to ti uni dagitoy nga barbaro nga gangsa ditoy site link nga sumaruno…

    6. An opportunity for local leaders to show their concern for our culture.
    Makita yo met dagita Brgy council members and tribal leaders nga nag etender nga nakipagadal kadagiti church workers. Maikabil met koma nga agnanayon dagitoy nga traditional concern iti anyaman nga plataporma yo inton sumaruno nga proyekto yo.

    Agbiag koma dagitoy nga namnama.

    Anyamet ti makuna yo apo? Ibaga yo latta dagita suggestions yo nga makaited inspirasyon para community leaders tayo.

    Hello all! Evz, I’m back at work again, ngem agkaiwara pay latta ti bagahe idiay balay. haha!!

    Ems, thanks for the update! Send more photos please!

    Speaking of UCCP centennial celebration, I found a program from the 1986 celebration along with history of the church. Even the sponsored pages were interesting as it listed many Sagunto families and their members. I will post some of the pages here as soon as I get a chance to scan them.

    Some of the history is in Ilocano. Anyone interested or have time to translate? Let me know and I will send you copy of the scans. I thought it would be interesting read for those who do not read ilokano too.

  14. evz says:

    hi nette welcome back! summertime is just like a spring here too chilly! ala send mo email ko dayta ngarud am going to translate it then back to you for posting. UCCP-NCLC is celbrating its centennial and artacho is a part of it…but Emz any info about Amburayan Conference if they are a part of the celebration since they belong to NCLC just a few years back?

    kasi, in summer, the kids are tasked to write stories about their vacation that include the whole family, so no choice but to create as many outings including several trips to the pools. sad thing is, husbands tend to see other sexier women in swimsuits if YOU don’t make any better impression!!! Huh, kailangan may pandaya, so sisters in LA where “natural assets are always enhanced”, think about making me lucky this summer. hehehehe
