<H1>Puni (Puh-ni)</h1>
[[File:Puni.png|300px|right]]

Palm weaving, or Puni, originated in Malolos, Bulacan. The art of Puni is about folding, twisting, plaiting, and weaving fresh or dried coconut fronds (leaves of the coconut tree). The new coconut frond is the most common material used in making puni. Puni took many forms: shapes, toys, baskets, and decorations.

<h1>Origin</h1>

Even before the colonizers came, early Filipinos were already doing Puni. Years ago, Puni was considered one of Bulacan's most famous art types. In times when electronic devices were not popular among people, doing puni became people's entertainment; it became a simple toy that they could easily make. It also became popular because materials like coconut fronds were easy to find, primarily in the backyard or farming fields. Playing with and folding these materials allows them to make different styles of things and animals, including balls, birds, fish, whistles, grasshoppers, shrimp, crabs, butterflies, bracelets, rings, crowns, and many more.

People also used Puni as a basket (Sisidlan) for harvesting in the fields, which helped farmers take their harvest to their homes back then. Puni also serves as a wrapper for delicacies like suman (rice cake) and for rice that they wrap in a pyramid-like shape (Pusô).

Puni is present on occasions like christenings, weddings, and birthdays. Puni comes as a decoration. Even at festivals, Puni is also part of the decorations in the church. When festivals occur, people decorate almost all of the houses with Puni. As the Lenten Season approaches, particularly on Linggo de Ramos or Palm Sunday, people see the 'Palaspas' as an art of Puni that plays an integral part in the ceremony and decorates the doors.

As time passed, people slowly lost interest in Puni until it became a part of the Vanishing Traditional Arts (including Pagbatok and Folk Writing). But some remarkable people worked hard to keep it alive and continue the Puni generation.

These remarkable people are Tiya Mila (Milagros Enriquez), Gigi (Noemi Garcia), and Rheeza (Nicanora Hernandez. They can bring Puni back to life. They opened a page solely for Puni called "Puni de Malolos" (https://www.facebook.com/punidemalolosleaffoldingart). They made events, videos, and workshops to teach people how to make Puni. At Know Your North Season 9, Rheeza stated, "I felt the need to revive it because what was dying was our childhood." (https://www.facebook.com/victorylinerinc/videos/3124639714278673).

Puni art is still alive. This art plays a significant role in cultural treasure in the Philippines, not only in Malolos, Bulacan.

<h1> Early Life of Guillermo Tolentino </h1>
[[File:Guillermo Tolentino.jpg|300px|right]]
Guillermo E. Tolentino, or Guillermo Estrella Tolentino. He was born on July 24, 1890 in Malolos, Bulacan. Tolentino is the fourth (4th) child among the eight siblings. His father was a tailor whose passion for the guitar was his single creative quality. Guillermo inherited this artistic talent from his family, also known as Memong. In addition, Memong rose to become one of the top three guitarists in the Philippines at the time.

Even as a young child, Tolentino showed an outstanding talent for sculpture. He created a clay sculpture of a horse, a dog, and many more using materials on the town's fishpond banks.

Tolentino studied at Malolos Intermediate School, where he met Mrs. H.A Bordner, his teacher from fifth to sixth grade, who gave him instructions for drawing. He went to Malolos High School for two years. After learning from his cousin that there is an Art School in Manila, Tolentino pursued his passion at Manila High School in Intramuros. He studied in the afternoons at the University of the Philippines' School of Fine Arts. Vicente Rivera was his sketching teacher. Subsequently, he chose to study sculpting with Vicente Francisco. He soon lost interest in painting in favor of sculpture.

In 1911, Tolentino, being in high school, drew a group of drawings of Rizal, Burgos, Antonio, Juan Luna, Regidor, and others, also known as Filipinos Ilustres, and was lithographed and published in a weekly magazine called Liwayway.

While studying, he supported himself by working for various marmolerias in Manila. In 1914, he made his first important work for Architect Juan Arellano.

In 1930, Tolentino entered a competition to design the Bonifacio Monument alongside thirteen other painters. He spoke with participants in the Philippine Revolution to obtain information for the monuments rather than basing them on written sources. The bone structure of Espiridiona Bonifacio, the Supremo's surviving sister, served as the model for Bonifacio's figure. By July 29, the committee had narrowed its selection to seven entries. Tolentino's entry took first place, earning him 3,000 pesos in cash.

A jury tasked with choosing the best design to honor the Katipunan Supremo convened on August 9, 1930. When entering the designs, he used pseudonyms. The winning entry was submitted by Tolentino using the pseudonym Batang Elias. He won the design contest and received a commission to install the Bonifacio Monument. In 1932, he finished the monument's figures. He sent the figures to be cast in bronze in Italy. He ended the Bonifacio Monument in 1933.
[[File:Oblation.jpg|350px|right]]

The time it took Tolentino to create a maquette was short. The National Assembly and President Quezon gave their approval to the design. The monument was estimated to have cost around Php 500,000. Despite a lack of funding, Mrs. Aurora Quezon placed the first trowel full of cement on the monument's foundation on November 15, 1938. They intended to erect the Commonwealth Triumphal Arch in front of the Legislative Building at the intersection of Taft Avenue and Padre Burgos. Sadly, the war intervened, and they never constructed the triumphal arch.

In the absence of Fernando Amorsolo, Tolentino was named Acting Director of the School of Fine Arts on July 23, 1951. In August 1953, on August 4, he got the position of Director.

In 1955, Tolentino resumed his private practice following twenty-nine years of service at the University. Soon after he retired, the U.P. He was made Professor Emeritus by the Board of Regents. The Philippine Institute of Architects named him Sculptor of the Year.

A person or group with half of a symphony, creativity, and a passion for music is called a musician. They also possess a unique talent for transforming their thoughts and emotions into melodies using an instrument. People can see and hear musicians anywhere in the world. They can be found in fiesta, birthdays, weddings, and shows. Moreover, here in Malolos, many talented musicians and bands have formed.

==<h3>Hiyas ng Bulacan Band</h3>==

[[File:PHACTO.jpg|250px|right]]

One of the most highly esteemed musicians you can encounter in the charming town of Malolos is can be found or also known as "PHACTO Bulacan." This office isn't just about music; they are a community of treasures, a living spirit of arts and culture that thrives in our hometown. The " PHACTO " office has a meaningful background name, the 'Provincial, History, Arts, Culture, and Tourism Office' that started on January 01, 2015. Under this is the official provincial band named Hiyas ng Bulacan.

==<h3>History</h3>==
[[File:Phactomm.jpg|500px|right]]

The Hiyas ng Bulacan Provincial Band was created on a memorable day, August 15, 1983. This talented band comprises members from different towns and cities across Bulacan. What's truly shocking and exciting about this band of musicians is that most of them are volunteers. They come together for financial gain and because of their love and passion for playing music. They are currently under the administration of Governor Daniel R. Fernando and Vice Governor Alex Castro. The Hiyas ng Bulacan Provincial Band comprises forty-three (43) members, led by Dr. Eliseo S. Dela Cruz of the PHACTO. They are also in a partnership under the leadership of Band Master Virgilio Andan and Musical Director Maestro Felicito Sacdalan. By this, Hiyas ng Bulacan made a community of talented musicians; not only that, but they also made history back then.

==<h3>Legacy</h3>==
In 1983, a music competition was made called ‘BULARICA’ involving participants from the provinces of Bulacan, Laguna, Rizal, and Cavite and together, for the first time, the province of Bulacan secured the victory as champions in the BULARICA competition. Adding more, Hiyas ng Bulacan also won at Singkaban Festival here in Malolos bulacan as a big champions and until now they are still continuing to join competition, shows and even concert. Hiyas ng bulacan also claims many awards for 40 years, that it cannot be counted using our fingers. The legacy of Hiyas ng Bulacan continues and their journey is far from over. Their music remains a masterpiece of art that keeps on inspiring, entertaining, and making history. Malolos is not just their home: it is also the canvas on which their musical excellence starts, shines, and keeps reminding us of the beauty and power of local arts and culture.

From his first painting until the latest, Angelito Antonio has served as a pillar of 21st-century Philippine Art, with his intricate brushstrokes that capture the eyes and hearts of Filipinos and the people of foreign countries.

[[File:Mang lito artist 213545.jpg|thumb|sining_Angelito antonio]]

<h1>Background and Career</h1>
Born on February 3, 1939, Angelito “Mang Lito” Garcia Antonio was raised in Malolos, Bulacan. Joining contests from a very young age, he earned prizes and awards. He graduated college at the University of Santo Tomas (UST) in 1963 with a degree in Fine Arts, later becoming an esteemed member of its faculty, where he taught for decades. He is married to the artist Norma Belleza, a likewise alumnus of the institution. He has three children, Marcel, Emil, and Fatima, who all share his talent and passion for painting.

According to several published articles, Antonio spent most of his earlier life studying and mastering art at the University of Santo Tomas, with his artistic career spanning half a century. National Artist Vicente Manansala and Galo Ocampo were two of his well-known instructors who had heavily contributed to the accomplishment of his pursuits of the art by providing him with a scholarship and a teaching position when he was still a student, which he took the opportunity to accept after graduation (GMA News, 2014). Some of his colleagues were Ang Kiukok, Antonio Austria, Danilo Dalena, Mario Parial, Jaime de Guzman, and Norma Belleza (his wife). He has over 20 local and international awards credited to his name, including the Grand Prize (1964) and Third Prize (1963) in AAP's Annual Art Competition. He is one of the committed constituents of the Art Association of the Philippines and the Saturday Group of Artists (Lifestyle. INQ, 2014).

In 1977, Antonio held his first exhibition at the Luz Gallery in Pasig, showcasing his sets of paintings that featured his inclination toward monochromatic palettes (Lifestyle. INQ, 2014). He is a well-decorated artist with numerous exhibits hosted abroad, particularly in New York and Saigon. His style was hugely influenced by the notable Spanish sculptor and painter Pablo Picasso, who he adapted from his taste for bright colors to give emphasis on his figures. The themes his works often display are taken extensively from the folk genre. He is both a modernist and an expressionist. In addition to the mentioned titles, people regard him as a prime mover in action painting and the extension of cubism in Philippine Art. His recent works see him channeling towards abstraction, or a mix of abstract and figurative (Namiart-Gallery, 2023).

<h1>Art Style</h1>

[[File:Angelito Antonio, Father and Son, 2004.webp|thumb|Angelito Antonio, Father and Son, 2004]]

[[File:Angelito Antonio, Vendor, 2017.jpg|thumb|Angelito Antonio, Vendor, 2017]]

Antonio has evolved from years of painting in black and white to using vivid hues. These prominent features of his works were the colors of yellow, red, and blue. Manansala impacted his subjects most, primarily cockfighters, vendors, ice cream peddlers, and balloon sellers. His paintings portrayed the rich culture of Filipinos in everyday life, suggesting a great sense of nationality and pride to the viewers.

<h1>Works and Awards</h1>
In the Shell National Students Art Competition:
*The Beginning is Green, in 1958, third prize
*Kristo (Christ), in 1963, second prize
*Mag-iisda (Fish Seller), in 1963, certificate of merit

[[File:The Bonifacio Monument (Caloocan) 06.jpg|The Bonifacio Monument (Caloocan) 06|350px|right]]
On January 24, 1925, Tolentino inaugurated his studio in Manila after being a professor at the University of the Philippines' School of Fine Arts after his return from Europe.

In 1930, Tolentino entered a competition to design the Bonifacio Monument alongside thirteen other painters. He spoke with participants in the Philippine Revolution to obtain information for the monuments rather than basing them on written sources. The bone structure of Espiridiona Bonifacio, the Supremo's surviving sister, served as the model for Bonifacio's figure. By July 29, the committee had narrowed its selection to seven entries. Tolentino's entry took first place, earning him 3,000 pesos in cash.

A jury tasked with choosing the best design to honor the Katipunan Supremo convened on August 9, 1930. When entering the designs, he used pseudonyms. The winning entry was submitted by Tolentino using the pseudonym Batang Elias. He won the design contest and received a commission to install the Bonifacio Monument. In 1932, he finished the monument's figures. He sent the figures to be cast in bronze in Italy. He ended the Bonifacio Monument in 1933.

Approximately concurrently with his work on the Bonifacio Monument, Tolentino completed the Oblation. He combined the bulky build of his assistant and sculptor Anastacio Caedo with the stature and dimensions of Caedo's brother-in-law, Virgilio Raymundo, to create the Oblation.

Rafael Palma, President of the UP, ordered the memorial. The Oblation was first displayed at the Padre Faura Quadrangle at U.P. in 1935. Madrid. Later on, he was moved to Uttar Pradesh. 1949 saw Diliman. In the U.P. Today, the Oblation represents academic independence.

October 25, 1935: The U.P. The Alumni Association intended to build an arch to remember the Commonwealth of the Philippines' founding. They asked Tolentino to get the maquette and design ready.

The time it took Tolentino to create a maquette was short. The National Assembly and President Quezon gave their approval to the design. The monument was estimated to have cost around Php 500,000. Despite a lack of funding, Mrs. Aurora Quezon placed the first trowel full of cement on the monument's foundation on November 15, 1938. They intended to erect the Commonwealth Triumphal Arch in front of the Legislative Building at the intersection of Taft Avenue and Padre Burgos. Sadly, the war intervened, and they never constructed the triumphal arch.

In the absence of Fernando Amorsolo, Tolentino was named Acting Director of the School of Fine Arts on July 23, 1951. In August 1953, on August 4, he got the position of Director.

In 1955, Tolentino resumed his private practice following twenty-nine years of service at the University. Soon after he retired, the U.P. He was made Professor Emeritus by the Board of Regents. The Philippine Institute of Architects named him Sculptor of the Year.

He also won numerous accolades and citations in the sculpture industry. He was granted the UNESCO Cultural Award in Sculpture in 1959. He was awarded the Araw ng Maynila Award in Sculpture in 1963. Additionally, in 1970, he received the President's Medal of Merit for his exceptional assistance in arts, particularly in sculpture.

He also received the Diwa ng Lahi Award in 1972 during the Linggo ng Kalinangan festival in Manila.

<H1>Puni (Puh-ni)</h1>
[[File:Puni.png|400px|right]]

Palm weaving, or Puni, originated in Malolos, Bulacan. The art of Puni is about folding, twisting, plaiting, and weaving fresh or dried coconut fronds (leaves of the coconut tree). The new coconut frond is the most common material used in making puni. Puni took many forms: shapes, toys, baskets, and decorations.

==<h3>Origin</h3>==

Even before the colonizers came, early Filipinos were already doing Puni. Years ago, Puni was considered one of Bulacan's most famous art types. In times when electronic devices were not popular among people, doing puni became people's entertainment; it became a simple toy that they could easily make. It also became popular because materials like coconut fronds were easy to find, primarily in the backyard or farming fields. Playing with and folding these materials allows them to make different styles of things and animals, including balls, birds, fish, whistles, grasshoppers, shrimp, crabs, butterflies, bracelets, rings, crowns, and many more.

People also used Puni as a basket (Sisidlan) for harvesting in the fields, which helped farmers take their harvest to their homes back then. Puni also serves as a wrapper for delicacies like suman (rice cake) and for rice that they wrap in a pyramid-like shape (Pusô).

Puni is present on occasions like christenings, weddings, and birthdays. Puni comes as a decoration. Even at festivals, Puni is also part of the decorations in the church. When festivals occur, people decorate almost all of the houses with Puni. As the Lenten Season approaches, particularly on Linggo de Ramos or Palm Sunday, people see the 'Palaspas' as an art of Puni that plays an integral part in the ceremony and decorates the doors.

As time passed, people slowly lost interest in Puni until it became a part of the Vanishing Traditional Arts (including Pagbatok and Folk Writing). But some remarkable people worked hard to keep it alive and continue the Puni generation.

These remarkable people are Tiya Mila (Milagros Enriquez), Gigi (Noemi Garcia), and Rheeza (Nicanora Hernandez. They can bring Puni back to life. They opened a page solely for Puni called "Puni de Malolos" (https://www.facebook.com/punidemalolosleaffoldingart). They made events, videos, and workshops to teach people how to make Puni. At Know Your North Season 9, Rheeza stated, "I felt the need to revive it because what was dying was our childhood." (https://www.facebook.com/victorylinerinc/videos/3124639714278673).

Puni art is still alive and ready to be embraced again. This art plays a significant role in cultural treasure in the Philippines, not only in Malolos, Bulacan.

Bulacan is home to various Festivals and Celebrations that are part of our culture and traditions. Bulacan has 16 Festivals, including Tanglawan Festival in San Jose del Monte, Libad Festival in Calumpit, and many more. Malolos Bulacan has a celebration where people unite to express their devotion to the Holy Child, Jesus Christ. This Festival is one of the biggest Festivals in Bulacan and is considered to be the Patron of Malolos, Sto. Niño de Malolos.

<h1> History </h1>
[[File:Sto. Nino.jpg|thumb|]]
Sto. Niño de Malolos is celebrated on the last Sunday of January when people exhibit their own Sto. Nino in a creative way. The Sto. Niños are decorated in Caroza or Caro while wearing their designed clothes or expressions. In front of the Carozas, there are numerous dancers to dance to represent their devotion to the saint. People even name images like Santo Niño de Pulis (Saint of Police), Santo Niño de Panadero (Saint of Bakers), and on and on. All these images are featured in Sunday's Procession around Mary Immaculate Conception Basilica, known as translacion.

This tradition started pre-war and ended because of the Second War. But this tradition was re-established again by Dr. Luis Santos. Years later, the Santo Niño de Malolos established a foundation (1975) further to spread the practice and our devotion to Santo Niño. This foundation also aims for advocacies and donations for those in need or empty-handed. This foundation became one of the leading foundations in Malolos, where people unite to keep their traditions and help others.

The Malolenos considers Sto. Nino is their patron because the child, Sto. Nino embodies Malolos' religious beliefs. It is the most enormous feast that is celebrated every year in Malolos. Malolenos celebrates Sto. Nino de Malolos festival because of the traditions and views made by their ancestors. It became their tradition to celebrate the feast yearly because of their devotion and adoration to the saint.

This Festival dramatically contributes to our history, art, culture, and tradition. It can help the youth understand further and love our devotion. This Festival can unite the people to love our culture and help our folks. We should keep this tradition and spread it in any other way to give the people knowledge and advocate for them to keep it alive.

San Isidro Labrador, ang pagdiriwang na ito ay binubuo ng mga mananayaw na nag rerepresinta ng historya ng Palayan Festival kaya’t ating kilalanin ang parokya ni San Isidro Labrador. Ang kapistahan naman ng Parokya ay tuwing ika-15 ng Mayo. Dito rin isinasagawa ang kilalang '''“Palayan Festival”''' kung saan binibigyang parangal ang pagiging magsasaka ni San Isidro Labrador.

<h1>History</h1>
Ito ay nagmula sa Bulihan, Malolos, Bulacan, mula sa pawis at kawayan, unti-unting umunlad ang buhay pananampalataya ng mga Bulihanon sa mapaghimalang Santo. Ang bisita ay itinirik sa lupang donasyon ni G. Julian de Robles at kalaunan ay naging bato. Noon, ito ay nasa ilalim ng pagpapastol ng Parokya ng Nuestra Señora del Carmen ng Barasoain. Ang bisita ay naging lunan ng mga gawaing may kaugnay sa pananampalataya tulad ng banal na misa, mga prusiyon at pabasa sa Mahal na Araw. Minsan ding nagsilbi ang Santa Bisita bilang Paaralan.
[[File:San Isidro The Patron Saint of Farmers.jpg|400px|right]]
Ang kapistahan ng Parokya ay tuwing ika-15 ng Mayo. Dito rin isinasagawa ang kilalang “Palayan Festival” kung saan binibigyang parangal ang pagiging magsasaka ni San Isidro Labrador sa pamamagitan ng ilang mga kilalang gawain tulad ng Indakan sa Kalye at Reyna ng Palayan Festival. Ilan sa mga sumunod na naging Kura Paroko ay sina Rdo. Padre Jose Jay G. Santos at Rdo. Padre Conrado R. Santos Jr. Sa kasalukuyan, ang Kura Paroko ng parokya ay si Rdo. Padre Manuel N. Anastacio.

Sa paglipas ng panahon kung saan kinaharap ng mga mamamayan ang lalong pag-unlad at pag-usbong ng makabagong sibilisasyon, taong 1998 ay naitatag ang Parokya ng Espiritu Santo sa Alido Heights, Bulihan at ang Bisita ni San Isidro Labrador ay nailipat sa pagkandili nito. Nagpatuloy ang masaganang buhay pananampalataya ng mga taga-Bulihan hanggang sa dumating ang panahon nang imungkahi ng dating Kura Paroko, Rdo. Padre Jose Miguel D.S. Paez na ang Bisita ni San Isidro ay maging isang ganap na parokya. Kaya naman, noong taong 2003, ang dating bisita ay naging isang ''Mala-Parokya'' (Quasi-Parish) at itinalaga si Rdo. Padre Jose Cezan “Dennis” S. Pascual bilang Priest-in-Charge.

Dito ay nabuo ang Parish Pastoral Council, ilang mga samahan at pagkakaroon ng mga regular na Banal na Misa at mga sakramento. Matapos ang tatlong taon, noong ika-2 ng Disyembre 2006, itinaas na ang antas ng San Isidro Labrador Quasi-Parish sa pagiging Parokya, at itinalaga si Rev. Fr. Dennis Pascual bilang kauna-unahang Kura Paroko ng Bulihan. Nasasakop naman ng Parokya ang Barangay ng Longos, mga Sitio ng Bliss at Malanggam, at mga subdivision ng Dreamcrest at Mac Arthur Village.

San Isidro Labrador, ang pagdiriwang na ito ay binubuo ng mga mananayaw na nag rerepresinta ng historya ng Palayan Festival kaya’t ating kilalanin ang parokya ni San Isidro Labrador. Ang kapistahan naman ng Parokya ay tuwing ika-15 ng Mayo. Dito rin isinasagawa ang kilalang '''“Palayan Festival”''' kung saan binibigyang parangal ang pagiging magsasaka ni San Isidro Labrador.

Ito ay nagmula sa Bulihan, Malolos, Bulacan, mula sa pawis at kawayan, unti-unting umunlad ang buhay pananampalataya ng mga Bulihanon sa mapaghimalang Santo. Ang bisita ay itinirik sa lupang donasyon ni G. Julian de Robles at kalaunan ay naging bato. Noon, ito ay nasa ilalim ng pagpapastol ng Parokya ng Nuestra Señora del Carmen ng Barasoain. Ang bisita ay naging lunan ng mga gawaing may kaugnay sa pananampalataya tulad ng banal na misa, mga prusiyon at pabasa sa Mahal na Araw. Minsan ding nagsilbi ang Santa Bisita bilang Paaralan.

Ang kapistahan ng Parokya ay tuwing ika-15 ng Mayo. Dito rin isinasagawa ang kilalang “Palayan Festival” kung saan binibigyang parangal ang pagiging magsasaka ni San Isidro Labrador sa pamamagitan ng ilang mga kilalang gawain tulad ng Indakan sa Kalye at Reyna ng Palayan Festival. Ilan sa mga sumunod na naging Kura Paroko ay sina Rdo. Padre Jose Jay G. Santos at Rdo. Padre Conrado R. Santos Jr. Sa kasalukuyan, ang Kura Paroko ng parokya ay si Rdo. Padre Manuel N. Anastacio.

Sa paglipas ng panahon kung saan kinaharap ng mga mamamayan ang lalong pag-unlad at pag-usbong ng makabagong sibilisasyon, taong 1998 ay naitatag ang Parokya ng Espiritu Santo sa Alido Heights, Bulihan at ang Bisita ni San Isidro Labrador ay nailipat sa pagkandili nito. Nagpatuloy ang masaganang buhay pananampalataya ng mga taga-Bulihan hanggang sa dumating ang panahon nang imungkahi ng dating Kura Paroko, Rdo. Padre Jose Miguel D.S. Paez na ang Bisita ni San Isidro ay maging isang ganap na parokya. Kaya naman, noong taong 2003, ang dating bisita ay naging isang ''Mala-Parokya'' (Quasi-Parish) at itinalaga si Rdo. Padre Jose Cezan “Dennis” S. Pascual bilang Priest-in-Charge.

Dito ay nabuo ang Parish Pastoral Council, ilang mga samahan at pagkakaroon ng mga regular na Banal na Misa at mga sakramento. Matapos ang tatlong taon, noong ika-2 ng Disyembre 2006, itinaas na ang antas ng San Isidro Labrador Quasi-Parish sa pagiging Parokya, at itinalaga si Rev. Fr. Dennis Pascual bilang kauna-unahang Kura Paroko ng Bulihan. Nasasakop naman ng Parokya ang Barangay ng Longos, mga Sitio ng Bliss at Malanggam, at mga subdivision ng Dreamcrest at Mac Arthur Village.

Ang kapistahan ng Parokya ay tuwing ika-15 ng Mayo. Dito rin isinasagawa ang kilalang “Palayan Festival” kung saan binibigyang parangal ang pagiging magsasaka ni San Isidro Labrador sa pamamagitan ng ilang mga kilalang gawain tulad ng Indakan sa Kalye at Reyna ng Palayan Festival.

However, the current cathedral, built between 1813 and 1816, showcases a rich blend of architectural styles, particularly Baroque and Renaissance. The remarkable artistry found within its sacred walls reflects this blend.

The Philippine province of Bulacan, Malolos, is a historical city. It is well renowned for its crucial vicinity in Philippine history. It is often called the "Cradle of the Philippine Republic" because of its connection to the primary Philippine Republic. Malolos, Bulacan, is wealthy in historical websites, establishments, and activities that showcase Philippine tradition and history. The traditional Filipino redecorating approach known as Singkaban entails expanding decorative and vibrant materials.

At some point in the Singkaban festival, people expect various gadgets, including arches, floats, and shows, beautifully adorned with nearby components like bamboo, rice stalks, coconut leaves, and other organic substances. Those decorations are to showcase Filipino creativity, artistry, and cultural enjoyment. Communities combine to produce colorful and exquisite displays through the Singkaban pageant, which regularly features traditional tunes, dances, and other cultural performances. The phrase "Singkaban" itself derives from the basis "suklob" because of this "to hook" or "to attach," representing the motion of fastening those substances to supply shiny and attractive decorations.

The Singkaban Festival is an Art and Cultural event honoring Our Lady of Victory in Malolos, Bulacan. The origins of the Singkaban Festival, also called the "Sining at Kalinangan ng Bulacan" (Art and Culture of Bulacan), can be traced back to the time before colonization, when the local Tagalog people lived there. Singkaban are beautifully crafted entrance arches utilized in Bulacan during fiestas and other significant occasions. Bamboo mainly makes up Singkaban, and the best places to see examples of this craft are the ancient towns of Hagonoy and Malolos. The Singkaban Festival was formally inaugurated in 1993 to commemorate the province of Bulacan's founding anniversary. Its goals were to deepen understanding of the province's art, history, and customs while promoting and protecting its rich cultural legacy. The biggest and longest event held in Bulacan is the Singkaban event.

==<h3>Baro't Saya</h3>==
[[File:04337jfDapit May 2017 Liturgical folk street dancing Flores de María Malolos Cathedralfvf 24.jpg|500px|right]]

The "baro" is the blouse, plus the "saya" is the skirt, and collectively they make up the traditional Filipino attire known as "Baro't Saya." Objects like this could be visible in the traditional apparel of Filipino women. The Baro't Saya may be retraced to pre-colonial eras before the Spanish colonists arrived in the Philippines. It needs clarification regarding the precise designer or creator of the baro't-saya, which developed at some point as an element of Filipino records and way of life. It represents the country's prolonged records and skillful legacy. To begin with, the final results of the Philippines' widespread cultural past, baro't saya, a traditional Filipino clothing, has yet to be identified as the originator.

For this reason, the baro't saya is manufactured from the Philippines' wealth culture, incorporating impacts from indigenous customs and Spanish colonial history. The baro't saya fashion first advanced in the course of pre-colonial instances, while several indigenous populations at some point in the Philippines maintained their specific dress designs. Early trade with nearby countries, further to the presence of Spanish immigrants in the sixteenth century, affected the evolution of Filipino garb. The Spanish colonial effect used fabrics like pia (pineapple fiber), silk), and the distinctive terno sleeves.

The Baro't Saya is a vital factor of the Singkaban Festival, mainly because it serves as a brand of Filipino background and tradition. The baro't saya is a traditional Filipino garb that similarly represents the nation's cultural identification. It serves as a consistent reminder of the Philippines' fascinating culture and ancient beyond.

San Isidro Labrador, ang pagdiriwang na ito ay binubuo ng mga mananayaw na nag rerepresinta ng historya ng Palayan Festival kaya’t ating kilalanin ang parokya ni San Isidro Labrador. Ang kapistahan naman ng Parokya ay tuwing ika-15 ng Mayo. Dito rin isinasagawa ang kilalang '''“Palayan Festival”''' kung saan binibigyang parangal ang pagiging magsasaka ni San Isidro Labrador.

Ito ay nagmula sa Bulihan, Malolos, Bulacan, mula sa pawis at kawayan, unti-unting umunlad ang buhay pananampalataya ng mga Bulihanon sa mapaghimalang Santo. Ang bisita ay itinirik sa lupang donasyon ni G. Julian de Robles at kalaunan ay naging bato. Noon, ito ay nasa ilalim ng pagpapastol ng Parokya ng Nuestra Señora del Carmen ng Barasoain. Ang bisita ay naging lunan ng mga gawaing may kaugnay sa pananampalataya tulad ng banal na misa, mga prusiyon at pabasa sa Mahal na Araw. Minsan ding nagsilbi ang Santa Bisita bilang Paaralan.

Ang kapistahan ng Parokya ay tuwing ika-15 ng Mayo. Dito rin isinasagawa ang kilalang “Palayan Festival” kung saan binibigyang parangal ang pagiging magsasaka ni San Isidro Labrador sa pamamagitan ng ilang mga kilalang gawain tulad ng Indakan sa Kalye at Reyna ng Palayan Festival. Ilan sa mga sumunod na naging Kura Paroko ay sina Rdo. Padre Jose Jay G. Santos at Rdo. Padre Conrado R. Santos Jr. Sa kasalukuyan, ang Kura Paroko ng parokya ay si Rdo. Padre Manuel N. Anastacio.

Sa paglipas ng panahon kung saan kinaharap ng mga mamamayan ang lalong pag-unlad at pag-usbong ng makabagong sibilisasyon, taong 1998 ay naitatag ang Parokya ng Espiritu Santo sa Alido Heights, Bulihan at ang Bisita ni San Isidro Labrador ay nailipat sa pagkandili nito. Nagpatuloy ang masaganang buhay pananampalataya ng mga taga-Bulihan hanggang sa dumating ang panahon nang imungkahi ng dating Kura Paroko, Rdo. Padre Jose Miguel D.S. Paez na ang Bisita ni San Isidro ay maging isang ganap na parokya. Kaya naman, noong taong 2003, ang dating bisita ay naging isang ''Mala-Parokya'' (Quasi-Parish) at itinalaga si Rdo. Padre Jose Cezan “Dennis” S. Pascual bilang Priest-in-Charge.

Dito ay nabuo ang Parish Pastoral Council, ilang mga samahan at pagkakaroon ng mga regular na Banal na Misa at mga sakramento. Matapos ang tatlong taon, noong ika-2 ng Disyembre 2006, itinaas na ang antas ng San Isidro Labrador Quasi-Parish sa pagiging Parokya, at itinalaga si Rev. Fr. Dennis Pascual bilang kauna-unahang Kura Paroko ng Bulihan. Nasasakop naman ng Parokya ang Barangay ng Longos, mga Sitio ng Bliss at Malanggam, at mga subdivision ng Dreamcrest at Mac Arthur Village.

Ang kapistahan ng Parokya ay tuwing ika-15 ng Mayo. Dito rin isinasagawa ang kilalang “Palayan Festival” kung saan binibigyang parangal ang pagiging magsasaka ni San Isidro Labrador sa pamamagitan ng ilang mga kilalang gawain tulad ng Indakan sa Kalye at Reyna ng Palayan Festival.

PUNI: In Every Weaves of Frond Leaves

Article by [[Rhien_F]]

<H1>Puni (Puh-ni)</h1>
[[File:Puni.png|400px|right]]

*Palm weaving, or Puni, originated in Malolos, Bulacan. The art of Puni is about folding, twisting, plaiting, and weaving fresh or dried coconut fronds (leaves of the coconut tree). The fresh coconut frond is the most common material used in making puni. Puni took many forms: shapes, toys, baskets, and decorations.

==<h3>Origin</h3>==

Even before the colonizers came, early Filipinos were already doing Puni. Years ago, Puni was considered one of the most popular types of art in Bulacan. In times when electronic devices were not popular among people, doing puni became people's entertainment; it became a simple toy that they could easily make. It also became popular because materials like coconut fronds were very easy to find, primarily seen in the backyard or farming fields. By playing with and folding these materials, they can make different styles of things and animals, including balls, birds, fish, whistles, grasshoppers, shrimp, crabs, butterflies, bracelets, rings, crowns, and many more.

People also used Puni as a basket (Sisidlan) for harvesting in the fields, which helped farmers take their harvest to their homes back then. Puni also serves as a wrapper for delicacies like suman (rice cake) and for rice that they wrap in a pyramid-like shape (Pusô).

Puni is present on occasions like christenings, weddings, and birthdays. Puni comes as a decoration. Even at festivals, Puni is also part of the decorations in the church. When festivals happen, almost all of the houses are decorated in Puni. When the Lenten Season is about to come, a particular Linggo de Ramos or Palm Sunday, the "Palaspas," is an art of puni that plays an integral part in the ceremony and would be a decoration often seen on the doors.

As time passed, people slowly lost interest in doing Puni until it became a part of the Vanishing Traditional Arts (which includes Pagbatok and Folk Writing). But some remarkable people worked hard to keep it alive and to continue the generation of Puni.

These remarkable people are Tiya Mila (Milagros Enriquez), Gigi (Noemi Garcia), and Rheeza (Nicanora Hernandez. They can bring Puni back to life. They opened a page solely for Puni called "Puni de Malolos" (https://www.facebook.com/punidemalolosleaffoldingart). They made events, videos, and workshops to teach people how to make Puni. At Know Your North Season 9, Rheeza stated, "I felt the need to revive it because what was dying was our childhood." (https://www.facebook.com/victorylinerinc/videos/3124639714278673).

Puni art is still alive and ready to be embraced again. This art plays a significant role in cultural treasure in the Philippines, not only in Malolos, Bulacan.

The Singkaban Fiesta is a festival in Malolos, Bulacan, honoring Our Lady of Victory. The Singkaban Festival is an annual celebration in Bulacan, Philippines, showcasing the rich history and culture of the region. Symbolized by the Singkaban, it features traditional and modern arts, street dances, parades, trade fairs, and beauty pageants. The event culminates in the Malolos Congress' re-election. This vibrant event, spanning several days, is a captivating spectacle that captivates both Filipinos and tourists, showcasing the divers aspects of Filipino heritage. Launched in 1993 to commemorate Bulacan's provincial foundation anniversary, aims to preserve the province's cultural heritage and deepen appreciation for its art, history, and traditions. Since then, the festival has grown in size and popularity, attracting visitors from various parts of the Philippines and globally.

"Singkaban," a Filipino term for a bamboo arch, is a popular welcome sign in towns, cities, or villages, especially during Bulacan fiestas, where it also signifies the arts and culture of Bulacan. Skilled craftsmen meticulously shave the bamboo layer by layer, creating delicate curls and twirls of thin bamboo for home decor or arches. The Singkaban Festival is a seven-day celebration in Bulacan that commemorates the culture and traditions of the Bulakenyo people. The festival features a road move and float parade, with specialists from Bulacan towns traveling to Malolos during the festival season, with Singkaban bamboo expressive arts being a notable subject.

Bulacan's culture is evident in Santa Cruzan, Singkaban, where Baro't Saya, Maria Clara-style outfits, Camisa Chino, and Singkaban are prevalent. The Singkaban Festival in Malolos, Bulacan, showcases the province's rich history and cultural heritage, capturing the essence of Filipino spirit and showcasing the talents and creativity of the locals.

The Malolos Congress, convened on September 15, 1898, in Malolos, Bulacan, aimed to draft the first Philippine constitution under Emilio Aguinaldo's leadership, marking a significant step towards Philippine sovereignty, attended by prominent revolutionary leaders, intellectuals, and patriots, aimed to discuss the Philippines' future. Despite facing challenges and external pressures, including Spanish forces, the delegates ratified the Malolos Constitution on January 21, 1899.

The Province of Bulacan played a significant role in the Philippines' history, having birthed the first constitutional democracy and holding the First Philippine Republic in Malolos, with numerous contributions to the country's rich history.

PHACTO: Musicians of Malolos

2023-11-07T15:47:53Z

Rhien:

Article by [[Angel_D]]

Musicians are called to a person or group that has a half of a symphony, creativeness and passion for music but also possesses a special talent for transforming their thoughts and emotion into melody by using an instrument. Musicians can be seen and heard anywhere in the world, they can be found in any fiesta, birthdays, weddings and shows. Moreover, here in Malolos there are also many talented musicians and bands that have formed.

==<h3>PHACTO</h3>==
[[File:PHACTO.jpg|250px|right]]

One of the most highly esteemed musicians you can encounter in the charming town of Malolos is can be found or also known as "PHACTO Bulacan". This is the office that isn't just about music, they are a community of treasures, a living spirit of arts and culture that thrives in our hometown. The office named "PHACTO" have its own meaningful background name which is 'Provincial, History, Arts, Culture, and Tourism Office’ that started in January 01, 2015. Under this is the official provincial band named Hiyas ng Bulacan.

==<h3>History</h3>==
[[File:Phactomm.jpg|500px|right]]
The Hiyas ng Bulacan Provincial Band was created on a memorable day, August 15, 1983. This talented band is made up of members from different towns and cities across the province of Bulacan. What's truly shocking and interesting about this band of musicians is that most of them are volunteers. They come together not just for financial gain, but also because of their love and passion for playing music. They are currently under the administration of Governor Daniel R. Fernando and Vice Governor Alex Castro, the Hiyas ng Bulacan Provincial Band is composed of forty-three (43) members and it is led by Dr. Eliseo S. Dela Cruz of the PHACTO. They are also in a partnership under the leadership of Band Master Virgilio Andan and Musical Director Maestro Felicito Sacdalan. By this, Hiyas ng Bulacan made a community of talented musicians, not only that, they also made history back then.

==<h3>Legacy</h3>==
In 1983, a music competition was made called ‘BULARICA’ involving participants from the provinces of Bulacan, Laguna, Rizal, and Cavite and together, for the first time, the province of Bulacan secured the victory as champions in the BULARICA competition. The legacy of Hiyas ng Bulacan continues and their journey is far from over. Their music remains a masterpiece of an art that keeps on inspiring, entertaining, and making history. Malolos is not just their home: it is also the canvas on which their musical excellence starts, shines, and keeps reminding us of the beauty and power of local arts and culture.

Article by [[Angel_D]]

Musicians are called to a person or group that has a half of a symphony, creativeness and passion for music but also possesses a special talent for transforming their thoughts and emotion into melody by using an instrument. Musicians can be seen and heard anywhere in the world, they can be found in any fiesta, birthdays, weddings and shows. Moreover, here in Malolos there are also many talented musicians and bands that have formed.

==<h3>PHACTO</h3>==
One of the most highly esteemed musicians you can encounter in the charming town of Malolos is can be found or also known as "PHACTO Bulacan". This is the office that isn't just about music, they are a community of treasures, a living spirit of arts and culture that thrives in our hometown. The office named "PHACTO" have its own meaningful background name which is 'Provincial, History, Arts, Culture, and Tourism Office’ that started in January 01, 2015. Under this is the official provincial band named Hiyas ng Bulacan.

==<h3>History</h3>==
The Hiyas ng Bulacan Provincial Band was created on a memorable day, August 15, 1983. This talented band is made up of members from different towns and cities across the province of Bulacan. What's truly shocking and interesting about this band of musicians is that most of them are volunteers. They come together not just for financial gain, but also because of their love and passion for playing music. They are currently under the administration of Governor Daniel R. Fernando and Vice Governor Alex Castro, the Hiyas ng Bulacan Provincial Band is composed of forty-three (43) members and it is led by Dr. Eliseo S. Dela Cruz of the PHACTO. They are also in a partnership under the leadership of Band Master Virgilio Andan and Musical Director Maestro Felicito Sacdalan. By this, Hiyas ng Bulacan made a community of talented musicians, not only that, they also made history back then.

==<h3>Legacy</h3>==
In 1983, a music competition was made called ‘BULARICA’ involving participants from the provinces of Bulacan, Laguna, Rizal, and Cavite and together, for the first time, the province of Bulacan secured the victory as champions in the BULARICA competition. The legacy of Hiyas ng Bulacan continues and their journey is far from over. Their music remains a masterpiece of an art that keeps on inspiring, entertaining, and making history. Malolos is not just their home: it is also the canvas on which their musical excellence starts, shines, and keeps reminding us of the beauty and power of local arts and culture.

PUNI: In Every Weaves of Frond Leaves

2023-11-07T13:34:41Z

Rhien:

Article by [[Rhien_F]]

<H1>Puni (Puh-ni)</h1>
[[File:Puni.png|500px|right]]
*Palm weaving, or Puni, originated in Malolos, Bulacan. The art of Puni is about folding, twisting, plaiting, and weaving fresh or dried coconut fronds (leaves of the coconut tree). The fresh coconut frond is the most common material used in making puni. Puni took many forms: different shapes, toys, baskets, and decorations.

==<h3>Origin</h3>==

Even before the colonizers came, early Filipinos were already doing Puni. Years ago, Puni was considered one of the most popular types of art in Bulacan. In times when electronic devices were not yet used, doing puni became people's entertainment; it became a simple toy that they could easily make. It also became popular because materials like coconut fronds were very easy to find, mostly seen in the backyard or in farming fields. By playing with and folding these materials, they are able to make different styles of things and animals, including balls, birds, fish, whistles, grasshoppers, shrimp, crabs, butterflies, bracelets, rings, crowns, and many more.

People also used Puni as a basket (Sisidlan) for harvesting in the fields, which helped farmers take their harvest to their homes back then because plastics were not yet used. Puni also serves as a wrapper for delicacies like suman (rice cake) and for rice that they wrap in a pyramid-like shape (Pusô).

Puni is also used on important occasions like christenings, weddings, and birthdays. Puni comes as a decoration. Even at festivals, Puni is also part of the decorations in the church. When festivals happen, almost all of the houses are decorated in Puni. When the Lenten Season is about to come, a particular Linggo de Ramos or Palm Sunday, the "Palaspas" is an art of puni that plays an important part in the ceremony and would be a decoration that would often be seen on the doors.

As time passed, people slowly lost interest in doing Puni until it became a part of the Vanishing Traditional Arts (which includes Pagbatok and Folk Writing). But there are remarkable people who worked hard to keep it alive and to continue the generation of Puni.

These remarkable people are Tiya Mila (Milagros Enriquez), Gigi (Noemi Garcia), and Rheeza (Nicanora Hernandez. They are able to bring Puni back to life. They opened a page solely for Puni that they called "Puni de Malolos" (https://www.facebook.com/punidemalolosleaffoldingart). They made events, videos, and workshops to teach people how to make Puni. At Know Your North Season 9, Rheeza stated "I felt the need to revive it because what was dying was our childhood." (https://www.facebook.com/victorylinerinc/videos/3124639714278673).

Puni art is still alive and ready to be embraced again. This art plays a big role in cultural treasure in the Philippines, not only in Malolos, Bulacan.

==<h3>Singkaban</h3>==

In the Philippine province of Bulacan, Malolos is a historical city. It is well renowned for its crucial vicinity in Philippine history and is often referred to as the "Cradle of the Philippine Republic" because of its connection to the primary Philippine Republic. Malolos, Bulacan, is wealthy in historical websites, establishments, and activities that showcase Philippine tradition and history. The traditional Filipino redecorating approach known as Singkaban entails using an expansion of decorative and vibrant materials. At some point in the Singkaban festival, it is common to see a variety of gadgets, which include arches, floats, and shows, beautifully adorned with nearby components like bamboo, rice stalks, coconut leaves, and other organic substances. Filipino creativity, workmanship, and cultural pleasure are meant to be displayed via those decorations. Communities come together to produce colorful and exquisite displays all through the Singkaban pageant, which regularly features traditional tunes, dances, and other cultural performances. The phrase "Singkaban" itself derives from the basis "suklob," because of this "to hook" or "to attach," representing the motion of fastening those substances to supply shiny and attractive decorations.
The Singkaban Festival is an arts and cultural event honoring Our Lady of Victory in Malolos, Bulacan. The origins of the Singkaban Festival, also called the "Sining at Kalinangan ng Bulacan" (Art and Culture of Bulacan), can be traced back to the time before colonization, when the local Tagalog people lived there. Singkaban are beautifully crafted entrance arches that are utilized in Bulacan during fiestas and other significant occasions. Singkaban are mostly made of bamboo, and the ancient towns of Hagonoy and Malolos are the best places to see examples of this craft. The Singkaban Festival was formally inaugurated in 1993 as a component of the commemoration of the province of Bulacan's founding anniversary. Its goals were to deepen understanding of the province's art, history, and customs while promoting and protecting its rich cultural legacy. The biggest and longest event held in Bulacan is the Singkaban event.

==<h3>Baro't Saya</h3>==

The "baro" is the blouse, plus the "saya" is the skirt, and collectively they make up the traditional Filipino attire known as "Baro't Saya." Objects like this could be visible in the traditional apparel of Filipino women. The Baro't Saya may be traced again to pre-colonial eras, which were prior to the Spanish colonists arriving in the Philippines. It is far unclear who precisely designed or created the baro't saya, which has developed at some point in time as an element of Filipino records and way of life. It represents the country's prolonged records and skillful legacy. To begin with, the final results of the Philippines' widespread cultural past, baro't saya, a traditional Filipino clothing, has no identified originator.

For this reason, the baro't saya is manufactured from the Philippines' wealthyculture, which incorporates impacts from both indigenous customs and Spanish colonial history. The baro't saya fashion first advanced in the course of pre-colonial
instances, while several indigenous populations at some point in the Philippines maintained their personal specific dress designs. Early trade with nearby countries, further to the presence of Spanish immigrants in the sixteenth century, had an effect on the evolution of Filipino garb. The Spanish colonial effect brought about the use of fabrics like pia (pineapple fiber), jusi (silk), and the distinctive terno sleeves.

The Baro't Saya is a vital factor of the Singkaban Festival, particularly because it serves as a brand of Filipino background and tradition. The baro't saya is a traditional Filipino garb that represents the nation's cultural identification in the same manner. It serves as a consistent reminder of the Philippines' fascinating culture and ancient beyond.

<H1>Puni (Puh-ni)</h1>
[[File:Puni.png|500px|right]]
*Palm weaving, or Puni, originated in Malolos, Bulacan. The art of Puni is about folding, twisting, plaiting, and weaving fresh or dried coconut fronds (leaves of the coconut tree). The fresh coconut frond is the most common material used in making puni. Puni took many forms: different shapes, toys, baskets, and decorations.

==<h3>Origin</h3>==

Even before the colonizers came, early Filipinos were already doing Puni. Years ago, Puni was considered one of the most popular types of art in Bulacan. In times when electronic devices were not yet used, doing puni became people's entertainment; it became a simple toy that they could easily make. It also became popular because materials like coconut fronds were very easy to find, mostly seen in the backyard or in farming fields. By playing with and folding these materials, they are able to make different styles of things and animals, including balls, birds, fish, whistles, grasshoppers, shrimp, crabs, butterflies, bracelets, rings, crowns, and many more.

People also used Puni as a basket (Sisidlan) for harvesting in the fields, which helped farmers take their harvest to their homes back then because plastics were not yet used. Puni also serves as a wrapper for delicacies like suman (rice cake) and for rice that they wrap in a pyramid-like shape (Pusô).

Puni is also used on important occasions like christenings, weddings, and birthdays. Puni comes as a decoration. Even at festivals, Puni is also part of the decorations in the church. When festivals happen, almost all of the houses are decorated in Puni. When the Lenten Season is about to come, a particular Linggo de Ramos or Palm Sunday, the "Palaspas" is an art of puni that plays an important part in the ceremony and would be a decoration that would often be seen on the doors.

As time passed, people slowly lost interest in doing Puni until it became a part of the Vanishing Traditional Arts (which includes Pagbatok and Folk Writing). But there are remarkable people who worked hard to keep it alive and to continue the generation of Puni.

These remarkable people are Tiya Mila (Milagros Enriquez), Gigi (Noemi Garcia), and Rheeza (Nicanora Hernandez. They are able to bring Puni back to life. They opened a page solely for Puni that they called "Puni de Malolos" (https://www.facebook.com/punidemalolosleaffoldingart). They made events, videos, and workshops to teach people how to make Puni. At Know Your North Season 9, Rheeza stated "I felt the need to revive it because what was dying was our childhood." (https://www.facebook.com/victorylinerinc/videos/3124639714278673).

Puni art is still alive and ready to be embraced again. This art plays a big role in cultural treasure in the Philippines, not only in Malolos, Bulacan.
