th e m o th e r o f a ll F E S T IVA L S reading this, you probably survived some Iwildf you’re New Year parties without waking up at the
side of the road. The good news is, today you can relax. Savor this fleeting moment of relief. It is best you take a deep breath, before we take the big plunge. Counting down the days before a different kind of celebration unfolds. You and I will soon meet the Mother-Of-All Festivals. Together, we will experience the ultimate Mardi-Gras showdown. The meeting place is Cebu. The festival is called Sinulog. 소란스럽고 거친 새해 파티 기간에 노상에서 지내지 않 고 무사히 귀환을 한 당신에게 좋은 소식을 전한다. 오 늘은 쉬어도 좋다. 편안한 이 순간을 맛보기를 바란다. 앞으로 다가올 색다르며 큰 축제를 앞두고 휴식의 시간 을 즐기면서 날짜를 헤아려보라. 모든 축제들의 시초이 자 최고의 마르디 그라스(사순절이라는 금욕기 직전의 향연)가 세부에서 열리는 시눌루그 축제이다.
But before we get ahead of ourselves, let’s flip the pages of our little history book back to the year 1521. History geeks say that before Portuguese navigators came to Cebu, claiming it as a colony for the King of Spain, Sinulog was already a native dance performed in honor of wooden idols. When Ferdinand Magellan came and introduced Christianity, the dance’s object of worship changed. After giving the image of the Santo Nino or the child Jesus as baptismal gifts to Hara Amihan (wife of Cebu’s Rajah Humabon), the rulers and their
subjects from then on were Christianized. Sinulog became a special performance dedicated to the patron saint of Cebu. 축제의 현장으로 달려가기 전에 1521년의 과거로 역사 책을 넘겨보기로 하자. 포르투갈 항해사들이 세부에 도 착하여 스페인 왕의 식민지로서 역사가 쓰여지기 전에 시눌루그는 나무의 신을 기리는 민속춤 행사였었다. 페 르디난드 마젤란이 도착하고 복음을 전파한 이후에는 춤 의 경배 대상이 바뀌게 된다. 세부의 족장 호마본의 아 내 아미한의 세례식에서 산토니뇨와 어린 예수의 그림 이 선물로 기증되면서 지배자들과 피지배자들이 개종하 게 된다. 시눌루그는 세부의 수호성인을 기리는 특별한 행사로 거듭나게 된다.

What’s in Cebu The celebration is held each year on the third Sunday of January in Cebu City. It features wonderful displays of parade and pageantry. Participants garbed in kaleidoscope costumes while dancing to the beat of the drums. The dance consists of taking two steps forward and one step backwards. It resembles the movement of the “Sulog” (river’s current) coining the name Sinulog. 매년 1월 3 째 주 일요일에 세부시에서 열리는 이 행사는 멋진 볼거리 가 가득한 행진과 구경거리들이 특징이다. 변화무쌍한 의상들을 입고 드 럼의 박자에 맞춰서 춤을 춘다. 이 춤은 두 발짝 앞으로 한 발짝 뒤로 가는 발동작으로 이루어져 있다. 이러한 움직임은 “술로그”(강물의 흐 름)을 닮았으며 이것이 시눌루그 라는 이름의 유래이다.
The festivity lasts for nine long days! 축제는 9일간 지속된다.
On ninth day (3rd Sunday of January), the Sinulog grand festival begins with a fluvial parade hailing from Mandaue City all the way down to Cebu City. When the sun sets in, the celebration continues with booze, parties and concerts held at every corner of the city. 9번째 날(1월의 셋째 주 일요일), 시눌루구 가장 큰 축제가 길게 만다웨 시에서 세부시까지 행진이 시작된다. 석양이 질 때 즈음 축제는 시내 곳 곳에서 열리는 술자리, 파티, 콘서트 등으로 이어진다.

n the steep hills of Talamban resides one of the greatest artists of modern day. The rocky road to his humble abode is quite a long way to go. Endless slopes of greens and the gentle mountain breeze keep you company. Upon reaching his doorsteps, a warm smile was waiting for me. Celso Pepito’s journey to be an artist was no ordinary path. He was born in the remote area of Daan Bantayan. Back then, the world of art was something foreign to him. He never knew such a world existed. When he graduated from high school, a teacher advised him to take up Fine Arts in U.P. With no experience and knowledge, he enrolled thinking that it was merely about lettering. Eventually, he realized that there was painting involved in his course. He had to work hard and practice even more than his peers. He devoted all his time developing and mastering his craft. With the help of his mentor Martino Abellana, he became a full bloom artist. In his quest for his own identity as an artist, he started to experiment by combining realism with modernism. His transition from impressionism to cubism became apparent. The result; Celso Pepito’s distinct signature touch. In every Celso Pepito canvass, three elements play an important role. Usually, his paintings include the main subject, the octagon symbol and the three box figure on the background. These essential components are always present in his work, each having their own significance. The bright-colored octagon symbolizes the sun which represents hope for everyone. As for the three colorful box-shaped figures, they imply different meanings to the painter. The first meaning refers to his three sons, a tremendous source of inspiration for him. Another meaning is related to his motherland’s three parts namely Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. They symbolize his sense of nationality for his country. And lastly, three also stands for his spirituality. The sign of the cross which includes the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
탈람반의 가파른 언덕 위에 현 시대의 위대한 예술가가 거주하고 있다. 소박하게 사는 그를 찾아서 떠나는 길은 험준하고 멀기만 하다. 끝없는 녹색의 경사를 오르는 길 에는 부드러운 산바람이 동행이 되어준다. 그의 현관문 앞에 도착하면 따듯한 미소가 반기고 있다. 셀소 페피토가 예술가가 되기까지의 여정은 평범하지 많은 않다. 세부의 북쪽 끝의 외딴 지역 다안 반타얀에 서 출생한 그에게 예술이라는 것은 먼 나라의 이야기였 고 그러한 세상이 있는지도 몰랐었다. 고등학교를 졸업 할 당시 한 선생님이 UP대학의 순수 미술을 전공해보 라고 추천했다. 경험과 지식이 없던 그는 “단순히 문 자놀이”로 생각하고 지원을 했다. 이수 과목 중에 그 리기 수업이 있다는 것을 알게된 그는 동료보다 더욱 열 심히 연습을 했어야 했다. 또한 모든 시간을 예술적 소 양을 갈고 닦는데 헌신했다. 그의 멘터인 마르티노 아벨 라나의 도움으로 그는 촉망받는 예술가가 된다. 예술가로의 아이덴티티를 찾고자 노력하던중 리얼리즘 과 모더니즘의 접목을 시도하기 시작했다. 인상주의에서 입체파로의 화풍의 변화는 그의 작품에 서 극명하게 드러난다. 모든 셀소 페피토의 작품에는 세가지 요소가 각각 중요 한 역활을 수행한다. 보통 그의 그림에는 주제와 함께 8각형 상징과 3개의 상자 조형들이 배경에 녹아있다. 그는 모든 작품마다 이를 등장시키고 주요한 의미가 부 여했다. 밝은 색의 8각형은 모두의 희망인 태양을 상징 한다. 3개의 상자 모양은 화가의 다양한 의미를 가지고 있다. 이것들은 그에게 영감을 주는 아들 셋을 상징하기 도 하며 루존, 비사야, 민다나오의 3개의 섬을 의미하기 도 한다. 또한 그의 정신적 세계관으로서 성부,성자,성 신의 십자가를 상징하기도 한다.
