00:00Good evening Kapuso! I am your Kuya Kim who will give you a trivia behind the trending news.
00:095 days before Christmas, did you display your villans?
00:13If not yet, you can be inspired by a villan in Batangas.
00:16It's not just a unique concept, there is also a deep meaning.
00:22In all the villans or activities that are displayed now in homes, markets and churches,
00:28this is what makes it special.
00:29Instead of being in a pool, Jose and Maria are in a pool in a well that is submerged in flood water.
00:34And because of the help of their villagers, the couple is still naked.
00:37While they are serving food to the hungry, those who received help.
00:41Maybe what we see here is that we need to help others, especially those who are in need.
00:46Villagers are helping even though they are having a hard time, they can't do it.
00:49But their hope for life is still there.
00:52This is one of the 3 villans that are displayed now in the National Shrine of St. Padre Pio in Santo Tomas, Batangas.
00:57According to the leadership of St. Padre Pio Shrine,
00:59the concept of their villan is inspired by the experiences of our fellow countrymen
01:03who were struck by the next strong typhoon this year.
01:06We still have fellow countrymen here in Laurel who were struck by the typhoon Christine
01:09that is still in evacuation.
01:11That's where the inspiration came from.
01:13From there, we developed the concept of how to make building simple.
01:17The villans are a group of employees who built just using recycled materials.
01:23It's very challenging not to look like garbage, but to portray the simplicity.
01:29And the message that their fellow countrymen came up with?
01:32In the midst of poverty, in the midst of calamities,
01:35God is always there to accompany us in our struggles.
01:39And secondly, it's a deep invitation to us to help our fellow countrymen.
01:47Brother Kim, do you want to know what I used to buy?
01:50Brother Kim, do you want to know?
01:52Brother Kim, do you want to know?
01:53Before the villan or nativity scene that we are displaying now became popular,
01:57there were old movies from the 4th century that showed the birth of Jesus.
02:02In Christmas of 1223, St. Francis of Assisi set up a pool that he filled with diamonds
02:08and he also put an ox and donkey to show the birth of Jesus.
02:11According to experts, this is probably the first live nativity scene in history.
02:17This spread quickly to different parts of Europe.
02:19In Italy, it's called Presepio.
02:21In France, it's called Rêche, which means crib or crib.
02:25In Spain, villans became popular in the 16th century
02:29until they introduced it to us in the Philippines.
02:31And did you know that there is a province that seems to be attached to their culture,
02:35the construction of villans.
02:36That's why they were called Villan Capital of the Philippines.
02:44The villan capital of the Philippines is the province of Tarlac.
02:47Here, the villanism is celebrated every year in the Tarlac Festival
02:51where the villagers are getting ready for the construction of the nativity scene.
02:55The province has a deep connection and love for the construction of villans.
02:59Maybe this is how they source the materials of their villans.
