Sociable and cheerful, Filipinos love holding festivals, celebrations that are fun, colorful, exciting and also very meaningful. Called fiesta or ''pista'' in the Filipino language, these festivals are held all year round in many islands of the Philippines for different reasons: *to give thanks for good harvest or catch *to mark special events in local history *to venerate Catholic saints ''Pagibang Damara'' is a festival in San Jose City, Nueva Ecija wherein its people celebrates to give thanks for a good harvest in line with their celebration of the City Fiesta on the second or third week of April every year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.visitmyphilippines.com/index.php?title=NuevaEcija&func=all&pid=4490&tbl=0 )〕 ==History== A ''damara'' is a Tagalog word for a shelter or a shed made of bamboo and nipa that was built on ricefields as a protection for farmers from the sun or rain during planting and harvesting seasons.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.mysmartschools.ph/web/gintoanginaani/f%20pagibang%20damara.htm )〕 Farmers and landlords particularly in the city of San Jose many years ago are building this shelter before the planting season and they demolish ''(ginigiba)'' it after the harvest time as they celebrates together for the bountiful harvest. This is where the word ''Pagibang Damara'' (shed ready to be demolished) was adopted by the people of San Jose City, Nueva Ecija as they celebrates and gives thanks for their good harvest. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pagibang Damara」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
