00:35 Hello.
00:36 Good afternoon.
00:37 As you can see, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] from District 1.
00:45 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] Yes, from District 1.
00:47 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] Yes, ready.
00:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:16 So good luck and God bless everyone.
01:18 Thank you.
01:20 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:22 This is Iris Ramos, and I'll be hosting the grand finale
01:26 ritual dance showdown of Kananga Kaanyag Festival
01:29 on its second year.
01:30 I was also the one hosting it next year,
01:32 so I'm expecting it to be grander than it used to be.
01:36 I'm expecting a more variety in terms of dance, in rituals,
01:43 because I heard that it's not only
01:47 Kananga Hanons who are welcome to join the ritual dance
01:50 competition, but also those coming
01:52 from other parts of Leyte.
01:55 Hello, everyone.
01:56 This is your Miss Universe Philippines Leyte,
01:58 Engineer Azel Rose Camputongpa.
02:00 So right now, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:03 here in the one and only Kananga Leyte.
02:11 I'm very excited because it's my first time going here,
02:14 and I just can't wait for the festival, the festivities that
02:18 are going to be happening later on.
02:20 And I'm just so excited to see how
02:23 Barbara, the coach here in Kananga as well.
02:25 And looking open to that right now, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:32 open competition where they invited different festivals
02:37 from [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] and from Ormoc City, I believe.
02:41 So I'm just so excited to see what's
02:43 going to happen later on.
02:44 And let's find out.
02:45 So let's watch.
02:46 [VIDEO PLAYBACK]
02:47 - Good afternoon to all.
02:48 Nice to see all of you again.
02:50 [INAUDIBLE]
02:53 Everyone else not so--
02:55 and my friends right there.
02:58 Yes, what does this mean?
03:00 Well, only-- well, for today, at least,
03:04 I can say that this festival will definitely
03:08 be better than last year since we opened up
03:11 to our neighboring towns and municipalities.
03:13 And hopefully, by next year, since it's a milestone year,
03:16 it's our 75th foundation day.
03:22 So that's Kananga will officially
03:24 turn 75 years old next year.
03:27 So we have six contingents now.
03:30 Maybe-- [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] next year.
03:33 So we need 69 more.
03:36 I'm just kidding.
03:37 No, I mean, an idea is that there is six.
03:40 So I am thankful to the LGUs of [INAUDIBLE]
03:46 who sent contingents here to join our open category.
03:50 So I think this will be the same format next year.
03:54 We have-- how do you say it?
03:56 If it's an open local category, right?
03:58 Local category, then there will be an open category also
04:01 next year.
04:02 Hopefully, more towns will join.
04:05 Because our format here is they will
04:08 be bringing their festival also here,
04:11 meaning they don't have to adopt the whole festival song.
04:15 So it will be their festival.
04:16 Or [INAUDIBLE] routine.
04:20 The last two minutes, they'll incorporate our festival song,
04:25 our Kananga Taniyak song.
04:28 So that's what it means.
04:30 We're opening up to our neighbors.
04:32 So hopefully, more will join us here.
04:35 69 more for a 75.
04:39 Actually, I don't want to compare.
04:40 [INAUDIBLE]
04:44 So more on the history of the Kananga Highland Festival.
04:50 It's actually a celebration of flavor, fragrance, beauty,
04:56 and bounty.
04:57 There are two legends about the Kananga municipality.
05:03 First is the beautiful woman named Anga
05:08 that sells tuba way, way back.
05:11 And she was really famous.
05:12 So a lot of people are going to her store.
05:17 Her main store is Anga.
05:21 So when everyone has--
05:22 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:25 And then the people here would say, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:29 That's why, Kananga.
05:31 And another legend is that there are Spaniards now
05:35 that who visited Kananga, the place here without a trubana
05:42 before.
05:42 And then when they arrived here, they were in shock.
05:52 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:54 But at the same time, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:03 is similar to the perfume that was famous back then,
06:07 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:09 Incidentally, it was made from [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:14 So [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:22 So [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] pertaining not only with the people,
06:27 but also with the place.
06:29 That's why Kananga-Kaanya Festival.
06:32 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:34 And with others, it's a social and social religious.
06:42 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:43 But more on social cultural, the festival of Kananga-Kaanya.
06:47 No comparison, but I just want you to enjoy.
06:51 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:55 Sir Juliet and Sir Vince are the one
06:59 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] during the festival management.
07:02 And they are our mentors now when it comes to festival.
07:09 So we learn from the best.
