+BAYANIHAN re-created the Moriones Festival, one of the most popular Philippine festivals during the Lenten season at the historic Manila Hotel.  The national folk dance company of the Philippines performed at the Grand Lobby recently as part of the Hotel’s centennial celebration series. It was the second performance for Bayanihan at the country’s oldest premiere hotel  this year. Just last February, it executed a beautifully-crafted performance inspired by the Panagbenga flower festival of Baguio.
+The Moriones Festival is a folk-religious festival in Marinduque that re-enacts the story of Saint Longinus, a Roman centurion who was blind in one eye. It is a week-long celebration that starts on Holy Monday and culminates on Easter Sunday. The moriones who represent Roman soldiers during the time of Christ, wear colorful costumes and masks of handcarved wood or paper-mache topped by a helmet adorned with multi-hued paper flowers. They carry painted wooden swords, spears, and shields.
-BOAC, Marinduque, April 30 (PIA) -- The Diocese of Boac and the Provincial Government of Marinduque with the Provincial Nutrition Office recently discussed the project “Supplemental Feeding Program for Zero Malnutrition by June 2012.”
+Philippine festivals are featured in the centennial series to give hotel guests and visitors a taste of Filipino culture.
-The details were finalized in a meeting at the session hall of the provincial capitol on April 23.
-According to Provincial Nutrition Officer Robie Apiag, there are about 2,900 malnourished pre-schoolers and about 4,000 gradeschool children who will benefit from the program in the whole province.
-The feeding program will be held everyday for 7 weeks and until zero malnutrition is achieved in all barangays in every municipality province-wide. The project will be coordinated with the Provincial Social Welfare and Development, Municipal Nutrition Offices, barangay nutrition scholars (BNS), and barangay health workers (BHW).
-The Diocese of Boac received donations from non-government organizations (NGOs) like ‘Feed A Starving Child’ and the ‘Risen Savior.’ Supplemental feeding will not only be given to malnourished children but also to pregnant and lactating mothers and senior citizens.
-The feeding will be given in the form of a supplemental snack daily, and the menu includes Mana Pack Rice and potato powder. Aside from food, they will also be provided with free medicines. The project also integrates livelihood programs to identified families by barangay nutrition scholars (BNS) and barangay health workers (BHWs).
-The meeting was attended by Bishop Reynaldo Evangelista of the Diocese of Marinduque, Marinduque Governor Carmencita O. Reyes and provincial nutritionists.
