Here is our second individual outputs that is a reaction paper about the video that we watched which is “DAYAW”
Chant of a better life
(A Reaction Paper)
by: Jerico Pingkian
We all know that our country is rich in tradition and beliefs. We have many ethnic groups in the different part of the Philippines. Each of them have different culture and traditions.
In the short documentary that I watch which is Dayaw the forms of traditional art that I notice is music. Music helps the tribes to express their emotions and feelings. Music can be a chant, folks and can be used in ritual forms. The narrators tells us about one of the characters of traditional art is Unity of the Arts. Consistent with the integration of faculties is the integration of artistic sensibilities. No one sensory mode and aesthetic intelligence is to be cultivated at expense of the others. Another character is Art is integrated with everyday life and not regarded as separate activity. It does not become specialism. It implies that there will be no special venues or spaces for art because it virtually exists wherever and whenever there is a human activity.
The artists shows passion and love in their artworks. They used available resources just to show their dedication in the art they do and for their artistic creation. Art is not synonymous with big production costs because what matters is artistic excellence or the creative idea as well as making art part of everyday life.
There are four specific factors affecting the changes of art production. One of the factors affecting is tourism. The artists in their places does not have enough time in doing their artwork instead they focused on the different people that visits their hometown. Another one is Mining and Infrastructures. Most of the places of ethnic groups are damaged because of the widely modernization of our country. Because of that, the artists will be pushed into other works and activities and will not be more focused on their artworks. The last two factors are Militarization and Christianization.

“Dayaw 2014: The Indigenous Peoples Festival,” annually held by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), will showcase traditional cuisines, games, rituals, dances, songs, practices and crafts in an effort to engender wider awareness and appreciation for indigenous cultures, which are constantly under threat of vanishing. It will also serve as a venue for different indigenous groups to interact with each other and to learn from one another as well as to express their views on issues concerning them.

There are many factors that may affect the changes of art production, one possible factor is the technology, then there is the tourism, mining and infrastructure, militarization and christianization.
(REACTION PAPER) BY:Aive Gene V. Portillo
• In the video, we can identify the forms of traditional art that they presented. These are the music, song, chants, epics, and syllabary.
• The said video tells us that our own traditional art is great and it can be proud of. And for us to continue our own tradition, we must learn how to use and preseve it.
• Gamaba Awardees like Sumaon Sulaiman, Masino Intaray, and Ginaw Bilog presented their Masterpiece or what we call their arts, and they act on how their arts work and how amazing it is in their culture and tradition.
• As what i remembered in the video, the specific factor that causes changes in art production is the environment itself. "New World", our traditions is triggered by the new generations art, we take the new culture or tradition and sometimes we forget that we have our own culture that we can establish and expand.
