KASABIHANG FILIPINO SERIES NO. 7
PAGKAHABA-HABA MAN DAW NG PRUSISYON, SA SIMBAHAN DIN ANG TULOY
Toronto-Ontario-Canada
Hagonoy-Bulacan-Philippines
Tue 30th August 2011
 
 
Ang kasabihang ito ay nagpapakilala na ang mga Filipino ay makakristiyanong bansa.  Ang prusisyon ay isang malaking bahagi ng simbahang Filipino. Tuwing kapistahan ng santo o santa na pintakasi ng simbahan ito ay pinuprusisyon at inililibot sa bayan o nayon subalit ito ay medyo maikli. Kapag mahal na araw, isinasama sa prusisyon ang maraming karo ng mga santo at santa tulad nila Sta. Mariang Birhen , Sta. Veronica, Sta. Magdalena, San Pedro, San Juan at marami pang ibang patron. Pinuprusisyon din ang mga rebulto ni  Hesukristo na nilalarawan ang kanyang pagdurusa sa Hardin ng Gethsamani, ang paghuhukom sa kanya ni Pilato, ang pagpapasan ng krus sa Via Dolorosa at ang Santo Entierro na nakaburol si Kristo at marami pang iba tagpo sa buhay ni Jesus bago Siya ipako sa krus. 
 
Ang mga karo na ito ay inalagaan ng mga familia na minana pa nila sa kanilang mga magulang at ninuno. Ito ay kanilang pinapaganda at dinidikurasyunan, pinalilibutan ng ilaw at bulaklak at telang mamahalin at mga lace. Umaarkila pa ang ilan ng banda ng musiko para tumugtog at magmartsa sa unahan ng kanilang karo. Hindi biro ang mag-alaga ng karo at ito ay kanilang pinagmamalaki bilang isang status symbol sa buong bayan. Kadalasan ang buong familia at angkan ng may-ari ng karo ay kasunod sa prusisyon. Ang mga karo ay kanilang iniingatan sa kamalig o sa garahe o pinagawang sariling bahay-bahayan at sa ngayong pagkakataon lamang inilalabas.
 
Ang mga tao mula sa barrio ay dumarayo sa kabayanan upang makilahok, magdasal o kaya ay manood lamang ng taunang prusisyon. Kaya lalong pinalalawakan ang hanggahan na lalakarian ng prusisyon para pagkasiyahin ang mga karo mga debotong sasama sa prusisyon.  Ang mga nanata ay sumasama sa prusisyon na may dalang nakasinding kandila at ang karamihan ay nagdarasal ng rosaryo at kumakanta pagkatapos ng isang dekada ng rosaryo.  Ang mga nanunuod sa gilid ng kalsada ay lubhang napakarami ay sila'y nagkukurus sa bawat pagdaan ng santo. Naalaala ko pa nga nuong musmos pa ako ay isinasakay ako ng yumaong ama ko sa kanyang balikatpara  makita ng prusisyon dahil sa dami ng tao. Sa katapusan pagkahaba-haba man ng prusisyon, pakgkalawaklawak man ng hanggahan, pagkaramirami ng karo ng mga santo at santa at mga debotong kalahok, ang lahat ng ito'y natatpos sa pagpasok ng prusisyon sa simbahan.
 
At dito natin nakuha ang kasabihang Filipino, pagkahaba-haba man daw ng prusisyon, sa simbahan din ang tuloy.  At sa mga Filipino, kapag ang isang usapan ay paliguy-liguy at isa lamang ang patutunguhan, ay masasabi natin pakahaba-haba man daw ng prusisyon , sa simbahan din ang tuloy.  May isa pa ngang pagkakataon na akmang-akma dito sa kasabihan. Ang isang masugid na pagliligawan,  pagkahaba-haba man daw ng panahong ginugol kadalasan nga ay sa simbahan o sa kasalan din ang tuloy.
 
Sa pagbibiro sa ating paksang kasabihan, mayroong namimilosopo at sinasabing pagkahaba-haba man daw ng prusisyon, matinik ay malalim na hinango sa isa
kasabihang " ang lumakad ng  matulin, matinik malalim ". Hindi nila batid na ito palang pinag-ugpong( hybrid) na kasabihan"  pakahaba-haba man daw ng prusisyon matinik malalim" ay may totoong basihan.
 
Noon palang unang panahon ng mga kastila, karamihan sa mga tao lalo na ang mga taga barrio ay nakayapak lamang. Pangkarinawan na lamang na sa haba ng prusisyon ay maraming natitinik sa paa ngunit dala ng kanilang debosyon ay hindi nila inaalintana ang sakit at kirot ng tinik.  Lumalaon sa haba at tagal ng prusisyon ang tinik ay  lumalalim.  Tungkol sa tinik sa paa, ang buong kasabihan nito ay " ang lumalakad ng mabilis, matinik ay malalim. Ang lumalakad ng marahan, matinik ay mababaw". Ang paksa na ito ay tatalakayin sa ibang pagkakataon.

Before going to Aklan during this Philippine vacation, we visited the Bicol region and Palawan.  We were joined by Danny and Cindy’s sons, Chip and Kitt, and granddaughter Kaye in Bicol.  Chip and Cherry’s toddler Carl was also with us.  Carl was a constant source of laughter for us, with his developing vocabulary and thickly-accented singing.

Fr. Danny T. Imperial, Cindy’s old-time friend, was our most gracious host in Naga City.  He held a private mass for Boy and Teng to celebrate their renewal of vows on their 41st wedding anniversary, and a thanksgiving mass for our sister Quiding, who celebrated a milestone birthday in late December.  Father Danny gave us the rare privilege of viewing the 300-year-old wooden statue of Our Lady of Peñafrancia.  He told us his personal account of how the image was stolen then recovered in the early 1980’s.  We even had the opportunity to join the healing sessions of the Daughters of Mary at the Basilica....
 
This still life was painted in 2003 when painting was for me more enthusiasm than expertise. This work was quite acceptable to me then if not perfect in terms of forms and composition. The shells, the main objects of interest and basically orange in color, were set off by a complementary blue atmosphere. The sturdy triangular arrangement bound the various elements into one strong unified whole. The yellow peaches and fruits marked the tips of the triangle that served as an enclosure of where the excitement was concentrated. Very little seemed to be lacking in this creation.

But, looking at it now, I can't resist the urge to inject more vibrant colors and greater atmospheric perspective in what now appears to be a dull and flat composition. Neither can't I help noticing other shortcomings: the lemon peel is too long, the shells lack natural luster, the fruits and leaves are not fresh, and the strong contrast between the warm and cool table draperies grab too much attention. A renovation is certainly needed and is clearly the most logical next step....
