The Pampanga Lantern Festival The tradition of the lantern festival in San Fernando Pampanga dates back to the 1800s. In those days, the people of Bacolor, the capital of Pampanga then, used lanterns made of bamboo and rice paper, and lighted with candles or gas lamps. Every morning, nine days before Christmas, they carried these lanterns with them as they paraded along the road before proceeding to the pre-dawn mass known as misa de gallo or simbang gabi. Over the years, the lantern designs have become more complex. The five-point star has changed into different geometric shapes. The candles or gas lamps needed to light the lanterns have been replaced with electric light bulbs. The frame is now made of wire instead of bamboo and is welded instead of glued. Some lanterns are too big and heavy to be carried by hand, so they are mounted on flat-bed trucks. And the venue has changed to San Fernando, the current capital of the province. The San Fernando Parol Festival starts in the morning. Visitors from neighboring provinces and other places pour into San Fernando. Food stalls are set up around the town market, ready to sell Pampango delicacies. Games and contests are held at the 641 town plaza. When evening comes, the marvelous show of lanterns of different shapes, sizes, colors, and lights begins, to the delight and awe of spectators. Comprehension Questions a.

Try to note their similarities and differences. Have you ever attended or read about either the Ati-Atihan in Aklan or the Sinulog in Cebu? The Ati-atihan celebrated in Kalibo, Aklan on the third Sunday of January, and the Sinulog celebrated in Cebu at about the same date, both center on the centuries-old image of the Child Jesus. However, the Ati-atihan focuses on the transfer of the image four hundred years ago from the convent to the church; while that of the Sinulog recalls the feeling of our forefathers when they found in the image of the Child Jesus near the Pahinay River. In both celebrations, the main participants smear their skin with soot, paint their faces, and wear all sorts of of tribal finery – animal skin, feathers and beads – in imitation of the Ati, the early inhabitants of the place. They dance on the streets in a long procession, to the rhythmic beat of drums, cymbals, and whistles. But in the Ati-Atihan , the revelers chant “ Hala Bira ! ( Keep on! ), Puera Pasma! ( No tiring! )” as they dance any which way. On the other hand, the Sinulog revelers do a prayerdance consisting of two steps forward and one step backward. At the same time they proffer replicas of the image heavenward as they chant, “ Pit Seῆor! Pit Seῆor! ( Glory to the Lord! )”. In both celebrations, the dancing on the streets can go on for three days. One thing is sure – the fiesta celebration in both places is a major tourist attraction. DISCUSSION: 1.

What do you think are the essential qualities of a good writer? PRESENTATION: Power Point / Chart of a Sample Feature This is an example of a feature article. ( Let the pupils read. ) Cloning Would you like to have a duplicate of yourself or of any other person? Scientists say it can be done. First, there was in vitro fertilization (IVF ). In this process, an ovum is fertilized outside the body. The fertilized ovum is then injected into the ovary of a female who becomes the surrogate mother. The ovum will undergo maturation in the womb of the surrogate mother. The eagles Pag-asa and Pagkakaisa, as well as the carabaos, Malakas and Maganda, were produced through this technology. The new technology is hailed to improve the breed of birds and animals. It also brings hopes to the problem of vanishing species. Then came cloning. Cloning involves taking out the nucleus of a donor egg and fusing the egg with a cell from the animal being copied. The cell can come from any part of the body. With the help of an electric current , the reconstituted cell has the potential to grow into a genetic duplicate. The sheep, Dolly, developed in a laboratory in Scotland, is the first cloned animal. 656 Today, people are discovering the possibility of human cloning. Some scientists think technology would help people who want to have children genetically related to them. Others think it may be unhealthy, even unsafe. For example, there is the possibility of creating a deformed human. Besides, it could be unethical. There are many other setbacks. Many scientists say they are ready to clone human beings.
