Mogpog, Marinduque -- Sa pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wikang Pambansa, naghanda ang Pamahalaang Bayan ng Mogpog ng iba't ibang aktibidad. Nagbukas ng selebrasyon nitong Agosto 2 sa covered court ng bayan, sa harap ng bagong-renovate na parke na may estatwa ng “Moryon”. Sa Agosto 16, magkakaroon ng cooking demonstration na magpapakita ng husay ng mga Mogpogueño sa paggawa ng niyubak at adobo sa dilaw. Ang pangunahing aktibidad ng Buwan ng Wika ay ang Pistang Tubungan, isa sa mga intangible cultural heritage ng isla ng Marinduque.
Ang unang aktibidad ay magpapakita ng Tagalog Marinduque na kinilala ng Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino bilang basehan ng wikang Filipino. Magkakaroon ng choral song mula sa Liga ng Barangay, kasunod ang inspirasyonal na mensahe mula sa Punong Bayan, Mayor Augusto Leo Livelo. Susundan ito ng choral recital mula sa mga Paaralan ng Distrito ng Mogpog, at isang musikal na komposisyon mula sa mga non-teaching staff ng Department of Education sa Mogpog. Hindi magiging kumpleto ang programa nang walang masiglang bilang mula sa Mogpog National Comprehensive High School, folk dance mula sa isang ensemble ng mga paaralan sa distrito, “sayawit” ng Marinduque Academy, at isasara ni Hon. Senen Livelo Jr., Committee Chair for Tourism.
Ang susunod na aktibidad sa pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wika ay ang pagpapatuloy ng Yubakan at Adobohan na tradisyunal na ginagawa tuwing Buwan ng Pamana at bilang paggunita sa patron ng bayan, San Isidore Labrador. Ang cooking demonstration at “Matatalinong Mogpogueño” ay itatampok ang siyam na distrito ng Mogpog.
Ang buwang pagdiriwang ng Filipino na may temang “Filipino: Wikang Mapagpalaya” ay tatapusin ng “Pistang Tubungan” na may natatanging pagtatanghal mula sa mga distrito ng Mogpog, mga paaralan, at mga empleyado ng LGU Mogpog. (PR)

MARINDUQUE, Philipppines -- Ang Philippine Misereor Partnership Inc (PMPI) ay nagpahayag ng kanilang suporta sa pagpapasa ng Environment Code na may pananaw sa proteksiyon ng kapaligirang pang-isla, may karapatang pangkalikasan at pagpigil sa anumang anyo ng pagmimina.
Kinikilala ng PMPI ang pag-angkop ng Rights of Nature sa panukalang Marinduque Environment Code of 2023. Isang mahalagang hakbang ito upang mapanatili ang kapaligiran sa pulo mula sa mapanirang industriya kagaya ng pagmimina.
Ang trahedvang naganap noong 1993 sa Maguilaguila dam sa Mogpog at 1996 sa Ilog Boac ay masakit na alaala sa pinsalang epekto ng iresponsableng pagmimina. Ang pangmatagalang epekto ng Marcopper Mining ay ramdam pa rin ngayon sa buhay ng mga ordinaryong tao, kasama ang kalikasan, pagkamatay ng buhay sa tuig, pagkakasakit at pagkawala ng buhay ang nagsisilbing matning pangangailangan para protestant ang likas na yaman ng lalawigan.
Nanawagang siła, kaisa ng mga taga-isla, “Marinduque’s designation as a mining reserve should be rescinded. The island be recognized instead as a mining-free zone and all mining permit applications should be stopped.”
Batay sa dokumento ng PMPI, sa “eco-theological framework for the rights of nature” ni Fr. Ed Gariguez, ang kritika sa anthropocentric theology ng Kristiyanismo ay nagbubukas ng saan sa lubhang mahalagang sangandaan ng kapaligiran at spirituwalidad. Gayundin, Lyon sa kaisipan ni Thomas Berry at Pope Francis tungkol sa rights of nature at laudato si, may angking halaga ang bawat nilalang, may pagkakakonekta ang lahat ng may buy at pag-igpaw sa konsepto ng kalikasan bilang gamit o pakinabang.
Ang panukalang Marinduque Environment Code of 2023 ay binubuo ng mga seksiyon at artikulo na may pagkilala sa rights of nature, maging sa papel ng pamahalaan sa pagpapatupad dito, kahit sa land resources, forest resources, at mayroong karampatang penalties at miscellaneous provisions.
Dagdag pa ng PMPI, “We also commend the recognition of the Rights of Nature in the proposed Marinduque Environment Code of 2023, a landmark step towards the sustainable use of natural resources for the benefit of future generations of Marinduqueños. The Rights of Nature bill is crucial in providing additional protection to Marinduque’s rich ecosystems". (Randy Nobleza/MN)
The moryonan Lenten ritual and the moryon mask
making are two Philippine intangible cultural heritage (ICH) elements featured
in a series of ICH documentaries produced by International Information and
Networking Centre for Intangible Cultural Heritage in the Asia-Pacific Region
under the auspices of UNESCO (ICHCAP) in partnership with the National
Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA).
“Moryonan: A Lenten Tradition in Marinduque
Island” and “Mukha ng Moryonan: Mask Making for Moryonan Lenten Tradition of
Marinduque,” written and directed by journalist and cultural researcher Roel
Hoang Manipon, are part of ten documentary series from the Philippines recently
released internationally through YouTube in two versions, one with English and
the other with Korean subtitles, both running about 27 minutes. Other
documentaries tackle the use of mud in traditional Ifugao dyeing; piña weaving of Aklan;the traslacion procession of the Black
Nazarene image of Quiapo, Manila; the giant lantern tradition of San Fernando,
Pampanga; the feast and traslacion
procession of Our Lady Penafrancia of Naga City, Bicol Region; the buklog ritual of the Subanen of the
Zamboanga Peninsula; theigal of the
Sama people of Tawi-Tawi; and the boat building practices of the Sama people of
Tawi-Tawi.
The documentary series is part of the project
of ICHCAP, which is headquartered in Jeonju, Korea, focused on the video
documentation of ICH in the Asia-Pacific region, which is being implemented since
2015.The first phase dealt on Central Asian ICH, while the current second phase
focuses on Southeast Asian countries. For the Philippines, ICHCAP partnered
with the NCCA.The Philippine ICH video documentation team was led by NCCA
Secretariat’s Cultural Communities and Traditional Arts Section headed by Renee
Talavera; theater veteran and Mindanao culture expert Nestor T. Horfilla as consultant
for Mindanao and co-director of some of the documentaries; and Manipon as main
writer and researcher, and co-director of some of the documentaries.
“Rituals, traditions, practices, customs,
expressions, knowledge and skills, collectively grouped as intangible cultural
heritage, are some of the most impactful factors in shaping civilization and
culture, and thus their study yields invaluable insights into many aspects of
social relationships and human development,” Manipon explained. “However, they
are also ephemeral and highly mutable, depending mostly on memory, dedication
and community for its preservation and continuity. Especially now with the
rapid growth of urbanization and globalization, ICH elements, especially the
traditional ones, are in danger of vanishing and/or alteration.
“Modern technology, however, also provided a way to
safeguard these ICH elements, enabling us to document them, intensify awareness
and make them more accessible through audio-visual means,” he added.
The moryonan or pagmomoryon is the well-known
and distinctive penitential rite of the Tagalog people in the small island
province of Marinduque, southwest of Luzon Island.Townspeoplewear masks and
costumes, and roam the streets in the oppressive of summer during Holy Week as
penitence, vow, expression of gratitude and request for something. They are
called moryon. The practice also involves the reenactment of the story of the
Roman soldier Longinus, locally called Longhino, who is said to stab Jesus
Christ with his spear during His crucifixion.Every town in Marinduque now
practices the moryonan such as Gasan, Santa Cruz and the capital Boac, but the
tradition originated in Mogpog, where the most traditional form of the practice
is still exists. The moryonan has become a main tourist attraction in the
province as well as its strong cultural marker and identity.
The most distinctive
feature of the moryonan is the wearing of masks, which not only hides the
identity of the wearer but also contributes to the discomfort, thus enabling
the wearer to relive the suffering of Jesus Christ. The moryon masks are carved
out of local wood and are made and designed by folk artisans, who learned the
craft from their elders. There are fewer than ten moryon mask-makers in
Marinduque, all concentrated in the town of Mogpog, where the most traditional
form of the moryonan is still practiced.
