𝗔𝗦𝗘𝗔𝗡 𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗛 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲

Different faces, different traditions, different stories—yet connected by one shared region and a future we continue to shape together.

As we celebrate ASEAN Month 2026, we recognize the beauty of Southeast Asia’s diverse cultures. Our differences remind us that unity does not mean being the same—it means moving forward together.

Guided by the theme “Navigating Our Future, Together,” this celebration promotes friendship, mutual respect, and cooperation. Aligned with SDG 4: Quality Education and SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities, it also fosters learning and appreciation for diverse cultures and communities.

Sa pagkilala sa iba’t ibang kultura at pagpapahalaga sa ating pagkakaiba, mas napapalapit tayo sa isang mas maliwanag at mas napapanatiling bukas—na sabay-sabay nating inaabot.

𝗟𝗔𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗟𝗔𝗜𝗡 | 𝗞𝗔𝗣𝗔𝗚 𝗡𝗔𝗚𝗟𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗬𝗔𝗕 𝗔𝗡𝗚 𝗨𝗚𝗔𝗧

May mga apoy na kayang pawiin ng ulan. May mga liyab na namamatay kapag wala nang kahoy na masusunog. Ngunit may apoy na hindi mo makikita sa sulo, hindi mo mahahawakan sa palad, at hindi mo mapapatay kahit ilang panahon pa ang lumipas.

Ito ang apoy na minana. Ito ang apoy na ipinapasa. At sa isang lungsod na sanay sa init ng araw, may isa pang init na matagal nang namumuhay sa puso ng mga tao, ang ningas ng pagiging Tuguegaraoeño.

𝗠𝘂𝗹𝗮 𝘀𝗮 𝗜𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗮

Bago naging Pavvurulun Afi ang pangalan ng pagdiriwang, may isang salitang nauna: Pavvurulun. Sa Ibanag at Southern Itawit, iniuugnay ito sa pagsasama-sama at pagkakabuklod na isang kahulugang tila hindi lamang pangalan ng isang festival kundi paglalarawan sa mismong diwa ng isang lungsod.

Noong 2013, Pavvurulun pa ang tawag sa taunang pagdiriwang. Makalipas ang isang taon, nadagdagan ito ng isang salita: Afi—apoy. Mula noon, ang mga liyab at sulo ay naging bahagi ng mukha ng festival. Ngunit marahil, bago pa man magkaroon ng apoy sa mga lansangan, mayroon nang ningas sa mga tao.

Dahil ano nga ba ang saysay ng apoy kung walang pagtitipon upang masilayan ito?

𝗡𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗮𝗴𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗮 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗶𝘆𝗮𝗯

Ang apoy ay kakaiba. Hindi ito namimili kung kaninong kamay magmumula ang unang liyab. Kapag ipinasa, hindi ito nababawasan. Sa halip, mas lumalaki ang liwanag. Ganoon din ang kultura.

Hindi ito nababawasan kapag ibinabahagi. Hindi ito kumukupas kapag ipinapasa. Sa bawat kuwentong ikinukuwento ng isang lolo sa apo, sa bawat salitang lokal na ginagamit pa rin, sa bawat tradisyong muling isinasagawa, may isang maliit na apoy na nananatiling buhay.
Kaya marahil hindi rin nagkataon na ang Pavvurulun at Afi ay nagtagpo sa iisang pangalan.

Pagtitipon. Apoy.

Dalawang salita na tila magkaiba, ngunit kapwa nagsasabi ng iisang bagay: may mga bagay na nananatili lamang kapag may mga taong handang mag-ingat sa mga ito.

𝗦𝗮 𝗟𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗺 𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻

Ngunit ang kapistahan ay hindi lamang tungkol sa festival. Sa gitna ng ingay ng lungsod ay naroon ang isang mas tahimik na dahilan ng pagdiriwang, ang kapistahan ni San Jacinto de Polonia, patron ng Tuguegarao City.

Sa loob ng simbahan, ibang uri ng liwanag ang nangingibabaw. Walang makukulay na liyab ng pagtatanghal. Walang ingay ng parada. Sa halip, may mga kamay na nakatiklop sa panalangin, mga matang nakapikit sa paghiling, at mga paa ng mga debotong paulit-ulit na bumabalik sa parehong lugar.

Si San Jacinto, isang paring misyonero ng Dominican Order na kinilala bilang Apostle of the North na naging bahagi ng mahabang kasaysayan ng pananampalatayang nakaugat sa lungsod.

At sa araw ng kanyang kapistahan, nagsasama ang dalawang mukha ng Tuguegarao: ang lungsod na nagdiriwang at ang pamayanang nananalangin.

𝗧𝗮𝘁𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗸

Hindi bago ang pagtitipong ito. Noong 2014, tinukoy sa isang presidential proclamation ang pagdiriwang bilang ika-290 patronal feast ng Tuguegarao City. Sa pagpapatuloy ng taunang bilang, ang taong 2026 ay ika-302 patronal fiesta ng lungsod.
Tatlong daan at dalawang taon.

Maraming bagay na ang nagbago sa loob ng mahabang panahon. Ang mga lansangan ay nagkaroon ng bagong anyo. Ang mga tahanan ay napalitan. Ang mga batang dating nakatingala sa matatanda ay sila na ngayong nagtuturo sa mas bata. Ang mga paraan ng pakikipag-usap ay nagbago rin mula sa mga sulat at kuwentuhan hanggang sa mga mensaheng kayang makarating sa kabilang panig ng mundo sa loob lamang ng ilang segundo.

Ngunit tuwing dumarating ang kapistahan, may isang bagay na tila bumabalik sa dati. Ang mga tao. May mga umuuwi. May mga nagtitipon. May mga nagsisimba. May mga nakikilahok. May mga batang unang nakasasaksi sa tradisyong minsang unang nakita rin ng kanilang mga magulang.
Sa ganitong paraan, ang isang pista ay nagiging tulay.

Hindi lamang mula sa isang lugar patungo sa iba, kundi mula sa isang henerasyon patungo sa kasunod.

𝗜𝗽𝗮𝘀𝗮 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗽𝗼𝘆

Sa bawat taon, may bagong mukha ang Tuguegarao. Ngunit sa bawat taon din, may mga bagay na muling ipinapaalala.

Na ang kultura ay hindi lamang nakalagay sa mga aklat. Na ang kasaysayan ay hindi lamang mga petsa. Na ang pananampalataya ay hindi lamang seremonya. At ang isang lungsod ay hindi lamang isang lugar.

Kapag dumating ang panahon natin upang ipasa ang apoy, ano ang maiiwan nating ningas?

Sapagkat ang apoy ay maaaring mamatay.
Ngunit hangga't may isang taong handang magsindi muli, may kuwentong magpapatuloy.
At sa Tuguegarao, ang kuwento ay patuloy na nagliliyab.
