SIMBUYO FESTIVAL 2010

Simbuyo is a celebration of the Philippines’ rich culture and heritage on the occasion of the commemoration
of the country’s independence. Literally an outburst of emotion, Simbuyo is symbolized by a flame in the tri-
colors of the Philippine flag, the fire that burns eternally from a clay pot on which is inscribed the phrase
“Mabuhay Pilipinas” in pre-colonial syllabary baybayin .

This desire to keep Philippine heritage alive is the passion that draws together volunteer talents from the
Greater Metro DC Area and the Philippine American Foundation for Charities, Inc. to offer their talents in a
showcase of Philippine performing arts traditions as well as of performances of classical and modern
forms that bear the distinct Filipino aesthetic sensibility.

This year’s theme, “Kasarinlan, Kamalayan at Kasuotan” will feature folk dances, popular songs, traditional
kundimans and, among others, a dance interpretation of National Hero Jose Rizal's Mi Ultimo Adios by
award-winning Jason Ignacio, all set against a review of colorful costumes and fabrics by noted Filipino
designer Alfonso “Boy” Guinoo.

Simbuyo 2010 performers:

All Saints Fil-Am Ministry of Manassas, VA

Dr. Joel Ang, violin and Prof. Sidney Boquiren, piano

Allan Palacios Chan, Tenor

Now on its second year, Simbuyo is envisioned as a regular annual event that inspires many to gain a
deeper understanding of Filipino heritage through uplifting performances that are in themselves positive
expressions of the Filipino spirit of bayanihan.
