Heritage alive and kicking
|
|
The 2008 National Heritage Month Festival brings
culture back to the people

tradition rivets mall rat spectators and earns the hearty applause
of the very people from whom the tale originated—the Maranaos
themselves. You know art is alive when a traditional oratorical
debate from the Tagalogs of Bulacan floors with laughter an audience
in Cagayan de Oro for whom the language is not the lingua franca.

I have used the following story many times to
illustrate a point and I will do it again. I was at a friend’s
house one day having merienda. He was an executive of a prestigious
corporation, but it soon became clear that he was not as successful
with his married life as he was with his business affairs.
