Sining-Rangan Bisayas
A Social Media Campaign on Contemporary Philippine Arts of Region VIII โ Eastern Visayas.
[5/5] To our final destination, Leyte!
Ka-Siningrangan, marami na yata tayong napuntahan? Pero I think itโs not yet too late para mag-Leyte ๐
Ang Leyte ay flexible pagdating sa mga tourist destination. Mula sa mga makasaysayang lugar hanggang sa mga tropikal na isla para sa perpektong getaway, ang Leyte ay dapat bisitahin kapag ikaw ay nasa Visayas!
Alam mo ba na dito matatagpuan ang pinakamahabang tulay sa Pilipinas na nagdudugtong sa Samar at Leyte? Oops, ito ay ang San Juanico Bridge, hindi SLEX. ๐
Ang CAP Building o kilala rin bilang Price Mansion, ay ginawa ng isang US Army engineer na si Walter Scott Price. Ang gusali ay ang punong-tanggapan ni Gen. Douglas MacArthur nang siya ay dumating upang palayain ang bansa mula sa pananakop ng mga Hapones
Ka-Siningrangan, alam mo ba na ito ang pinakamatibay na istraktura sa lungsod noong World War II? ๐ค
Maayong adlaw, mga Ka-Siningrangan!
Alam niyo ba na ang Landing Memorial Park ay isa sa mga makasaysayan na lugar sa Leyte kung saan matatagpuan ang rebulto ni Heneral Douglas MacArthur. Dito naganap ang kanyang pangunguna sa pakikipagdigmaan sa mga amerikano noong ika-20 ng Oktubre sa taon ng 1944. Ang rebulto ay nilikha ni Anastacio Caedo na isang manlililok at sampung talampakan ang taas nito. Sa harap ng rebulto ay makikita ang simbolismo at impormasyon tungkol dito na nakasulat sa wikang filipino at ingles.
Maupay nga kulop sa iyo ngatanan!
Mga Ka-Siningrangan, alam niyo ba na bukod sa banig na ginagawa ng mga tiga-silangan, meron pa silang pinagmamalaking produkto bukod dito? Ito ay ang Maripipi pots na kadalasang gawa mula sa kaolin. Dagdag pang kaalaman, tinawag itong Maripipi pots, sapagkat sa isla ng Maripipi ito ginagawa.
Maupay nga adlaw mula kay Archimedes, mga Ka-Siningrangan!
Si Archie โArchimedesโ Prisno ay isang magaling na pintor mula sa Eastern Visayas. Isa siya sa tinaguriang magagaling na pintor sa kanilang siyudad. Sa kaniyang pagpipinta, naniniwala siya sa kasabihang, โThe reality of my art is a lie to many.โ
Maupay nga aga, mga Ka-Siningrangan!
Alam niyo ba na ilang buwan pagtapos sumalanta ng bagyong Yolanda, ang TPโs Theater for Development in a Post-Haiyan Context o T4D-PHC ay nagkaroon ng proyekto kasama ang Unicef? Ito ay ang โSurรขโ, isang piyesa ng teatro na hango mula sa istorya ng mga biktima ng bagyong Yolanda.
2 down, 3 to go! ๐ฅณ
Stop over muna tayo, guys! Goodnight and sleep well ๐ฅฐ Get yourselves ready for our adventures tomorrow! ๐
Salamat hin damo, mga Ka-Siningrangan! ๐ค
[2/5] Next Destination: Biliran
We're on the road again! ๐ฃ๏ธ
Antok na ba kayo? ๐ฅฑ Teka lang, maaga pa. Punta muna tayo ng Biliran mga Ka-Siningrangan! ๐คฉ
So small and yet so full of wonders, the island province of Biliran Island beckons with its plethora of natural attractions. For many years, the island has been in the shadow of its more well-known neighbors, but given all the province has to offer, it is difficult not to shine on its own โจ
It's your time to shine, Biliran!
Maupay nga gab-i from our third and final artist for today's videow, Florence Jose M. Cinco!

Sana all may kasayaw? ๐
Alam niyo ba mga Ka-Siningrangan, "Kuratsa" must be performed in an amenudo-way (Hindi yung ulam ah!) Amenudo-way means only one couple dances it at a time (Bebe time yarn?!) ๐ค๐
[1/5] Off to Samar!
Flights booked โ๏ธ Bags packed ๐ Excitement mounting! ๐คฉ
In this virtual tour to Samar, you'll see that it is full of unexplored caves, pretty streams, and secret waterfalls, and the surrounding seas are suited for surfing, swimming, and diving. ๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ Pili kayo anong trip niyo, kaming bahala sa inyo mga Ka-Siningrangan! ๐
You'll also discover native goods worth taking with you after your trip such as the majestic โBanigโ of Basey Samar, which came from the traditional art of mat weaving that continues to flourish in this old town.
Kalimutan lang muna ang lahat ng problema
Huminga ka nang malalim at tayo'y lalarga na
Handa na bang gumala? ๐ถ
Mga Ka-Siningrangan, gusto niyo bang sumama? ๐คฉ
Abangan... ๐

Bulig hit sarayaw! ๐๐บ
Mga Ka-Siningrangan, alam niyo ba na sa Samar... ๐ค๐ญ there is yearly pageantry and colorful mat dancing parade that winds through the town's main streets, remembering the Basaynons' two main sources of income โ bamboo and mat weaving โ through music, dance, and drama. The Banigan-Kawayan festival is commenced every 29th of September to give tribute to the Banig and Kawayan arts and crafts in Basey, Samar.
Eastern Visayas is known for its beautiful natural sceneries such as pristine beaches, dome-shaped hills, and boundless oceans with breathtaking sunrises and sunsets as a backdrop. ๐
While nature reflects this incredible ingenuity, a rich traditional arts and crafts culture may also be found in every region. In fact, it is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Eastern Visayas! ๐จ๐ผ๏ธ
Come and join us as we explore the traditional arts and crafts of Eastern Visayas you shouldnโt miss out on!
Mga Ka-Siningrayan, are you ready to explore the wonders of the East? ๐บ๏ธ
