Because FEBRUARY is the coldest time of the year, it boosts tourism during the lull moments, between the peak seasons of Christmas (December-January) and
summer (particularly, the Holy Week).

19 Years of Panagbenga: From Cultural Festival to Festivalization?
• Festival- “themed, public celebrations” of “community values,ideologies, identity, and continuity” and are occasions where“cultural elements are displayed which can educate an observerabout the host culture and community”. (Getz, 2010)
• In effect Getz considers all festivals as cultural festivals. Thesame is true for Presbury and Edwards (2010) who definedfestivals as “generally cultural celebrations” for “communitypride, cohesion, fun, and relaxation,” in the form of “carnivals,religious events, parades or heritage commemorations,” andare educational opportunities where people learn about artsand crafts, music, drama, sports, and culture

BAGUIO FLOWER FESTIVAL
For the past fourteen years, the BFFFI in partnership with government and private sectors have strategized ways and means of attracting bigger crowds. As a result, Panagbenga has drawn 1.6 million people a year, on average (personal interview of Vangie Payno, Chief of Staff, BFFFI).

BAGUIO FLOWER FESTIVAL
Funding for Panagbenga, has been sourced from the City Government (latest is PhP4 million), and solicited from donor corporations which buy ‘space’ in specific festival activities. Most of these support (cash or in kind) are used for prizes given to winners of different competitions, food sponsorships for volunteers, and materials for activities. Panagbenga operates with the help of over 3000 volunteers from civic organizations and local schools

SUSTAINABILITY BAGUIO FLOWER FESTIVALIgorot culture these days have been an object of
tourism. In other words, it has been commercialized
but also bastardized. In the traditional Igorot culture,
for example, the sound of the gong and the tayao are
sacred. Now, just for the entertainment of tourists, or
more precisely, just for the money, gongs are
indiscriminately played and the tayao danced
irreverently. It’s like going through the rites of the
Holy Mass for the entertainment of pagan tourists!

• Another area that is of concern is the commercialization ofindigenous culture through the conduct of festivals and the failureto respect culturally significant sites, primarily in the context of thepromotion of tourism in indigenous communities. Rituals, many ofwhich are sacred and solemn in the culture of Indigenous Peoples,are being performed in these festivals without regard to theirsacredness. Some of the festivals where Indigenous Peoples haveraised concerns over the abuse of their rituals and thecommercialization of their traditional songs and dances include theLang-ay Festival in Mountain Province, the Adivay Festival inBenguet and the Panagbenga festival in Baguio City (86-87).

SUSTAINING CULTURE IN CULTURAL FESTIVALS
ETHNOCENTRISM
RESPECT FOR CULTURAL INTEGRITY
OBSERVATION OF DELIBERATIVE DEMOCRACY

•Avoid starting with universal assumptions about a people’s culture
•Be aware how we might tend to treat the people of a certain culture as the same as us, or like us
•Respect for particularity is the route to transformation
• Let us not rush to resolve the points of impossibility in cultures, as they may reveal particular realities in people’s situations
•Cultures are not homogeneous
SUSTAINING CULTURE IN CULTURAL FESTIVALS
& Methodological Guidelines For Cultural Policy
![Page 26: Festivalization of the Panagbenga Festival](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051301/58e9ed381a28aba2208b5177/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
•Recognition and tolerance of biocultural diversity. (Roosi and Poole, 2011 )
•Allowing individuals and communities ethico-political spaces to reflect, contest, negotiate , and re-figure culture and cultural markers as necessary (Parodi2011; Slater 1999).
• realization that cultural impossibilities are routes to transformation (Slater 1999)
PROVISIONAL ELEMENTS OF CULTURAL SUSTAINABILITY
Cultural sustainability is thus not about the permanent
maintenance of a collective, such that cultures growing
unsustainably will be at risk of extinction (Parodi,
2011). Neither can culture, nor cultural markers be
preserved, because they are at best to be reflected upon,
shaped, and modified. This requires political deliberation
by stakeholders on what would be viable, and workable.

BAGUIO RESIDENTS

• Highlight what baguioistruly known for: a thrivingculture and arts scene and adeeply environmentallyconscious people
PANAGBENGA MANAGEMENT

HOW CAN INTEREST BE BALANCED?

RECOMMENDATIONS
•Conduct of a multi-stakeholder forumwhere all sectors concerned can deliberateon the future of panagbenga following theethics of ‘deliberative participation’, asdavid crocker (2008) elaborates.
•Development and application of ‘greencriteria’
![Page 29: Festivalization of the Panagbenga Festival](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051301/58e9ed381a28aba2208b5177/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• Overall, however, within management, a shift must occur againstmeasuring the success ofPanagbenga based on quantitativeindicators like the number of tourists, number of participants, andtotal revenue generated. Qualitative indicators must likewise be usedto determine whether or not, and to whatextent, Panagbenga contributed to the collective well-being of theBaguio community. This could be measured by the quality ofparticipation of community members in all stages of the festival.Beyond the month-long festival, there is a pressing need to invest inthe ongoing maintenance of public parks like Burnham Park, BotanicalGarden, Mines View Park, Wright Park, and in the greening of thecityscape in general.
