Señor Santo Niño Hymn

#VERSE1

One day to these Islands as gift and in pledge

God sent You to us O beloved Child

And always You have been the light of our souls,

The guide of our people, the flame in our hearts.

(REFRAIN)

Señor Santo Niño, with Your scepter guide our people

who hail You King forever;

Filipinas is Your Kingdom.

Señor Santo Niño, in Your hand the world finds its rest;

proclaim Your Truth and justice, bring to men Your peace and love.

#VERSE2

The ship You were sailing arrived at our shores

To conquer this land, the pearl of the seas;

But You had decided to stay in this soil

To conquer our people and give us a name.

#VERSE3

The queen and the rajah, accepting the faith,

Received You in their arms and fell on their knees;

They welcomed Your Presence and called on Your Name

To ask for Your blessing and help in their needs.

#VERSE4

More ships in the Orient with soldiers arrived,

And searching for gold, they found You instead;

Legaspi, Urdaneta, the rajah, the queen,

Their subjects, our people, proclaimed You their King.

The Philippine flag is raised in this famed Paris museum—all because of our anting-antings

The playwright and curator Floy Quintos has exposed part of our secret soul in the City of Light. At the Musée du Quai Branly along the banks of the Seine, the exposition he put together explores the story of our amulets and the complex, hybrid nature of the Filipino faith.

It was a windy Monday morning when the Musee du Quai Branly opened its doors to the press, collaborators, friends, and select patrons for the opening of two exhibitions for Spring. The buzzy Oceania assembles almost 200 archaeological objects and art pieces representative of the Pacific island cultures, while Anting-Anting—to which I was invited—is a more intimate installation telling the story of the historical and contemporary use of protective amulets, talismans, and charms in the Philippines.

“This feels like coming home,” I said, soliciting a genuine noddy smile from the docent as she ushered me into the exhibit space, an obscure area floating above the museum’s permanent collection. It was a half-lie. While the Santo Niño, the Nazareno handkerchiefs, and the odd bits of brass jewelry looked familiar, the whole ensemble felt very foreign to me. Eerie and ominous almost. A physical manifestation of things I have only heard of before.

The exposition entitled Anting-Anting: The Secret Soul of Filipinos explores and demystifies these “charged objects” utilized by a myriad of Filipinos to this very day, from policemen to cult members. An offshoot from a previous exhibit at the Yuchengco Museum in Manila, the collection was built and curated by playwright, director, and antique dealer Floy Quintos.

The invitation to show here in Paris came with challenges, mostly reworking the storytelling for a predominantly European audience. “My French colleagues would ask me, okay, how do the objects talk to me? How do we make them engage?” Quintos shares. He had to make the exhibit relatable and transportative even to people who have never been to our islands.

And transportative it was. Utilizing the Atelier Martine Aublet, a space designed to be a “contemporary cabinet of curiosities,” Quintos repackaged the exhibit into smaller pockets of stories. One corner shows Rizalista cult paraphernalia, another reveals blood-stained linen vests with pearl buttons believed to bestow protection against bullets.

On the other side, a wall glows with images from a Dino Dimar documentary following the journey of pilgrims to Mount Banahaw. The space is then infused with noises both familiar (the hypnotizing sound of a waterfall hitting the plunge, a solemn rendition of Ama Namin) and unfamiliar (orations in Pig Latin murmured from sacred booklets). One is given the impression of being in the caverns with the faithful as they pray, light candles, slither into crevices, and collect blessed water.

Some bearing iconographies from the Catholic religion, the anting-anting is one of the many portraits of Hispano-Filipino postcolonial hybridity. Did the Spanish try to make their Gospel more relatable, and the process of evangelization smoother, by incorporating bits and pieces from the native religion? Or did the Filipinos feign allegiance to the Catholic faith while discreetly continuing their animistic ritual under the nose of the colonizer? “That’s the question. It was the kind of dialogue we wanted to highlight,” says Quintos.

A special nook stripped of protective glass is transformed into a tienda of modern anting-anting, open for people to look closely and even touch. Here, they are less spiritual and somehow devoid of a deeper meaning. Quintos wanted to show how they are today more recognized as popular charms, tailored to augment the spirit or help fix daily woes. It is truly revelatory of the multiple ways we practice our faith in the present. I think of my mother, probably the most Catholic person I know, who keeps her Vatican rosaries next to a Buddha sculpture, or my peers who hear mass on Sundays but wander around with a rose quartz crystal in their coat pocket the rest of the week.

The show ends in a juxtaposition of cheap, commercially-made trinkets stacked in a pile under an ancient portable idol carved from stone by the Ifugaos. It shows that the need to always carry a tangible piece of the divine, be it for protection or for luck, is universal and distinctly Filipino. It transcends class, languages, and cultures, and reminds us that everyone, from lovestruck tweens to jittery dispatched soldiers, could use a little help from beyond.

During the last World War, a bomb fell inside the Church but the Image was recovered unscathed. It was one of the numerous miracles and powers attributed to the Holy Image. But on the later part of World War II , the icon fell  from its niche, leaving one of its eyes chipped and its right cheek heavily scratched. Luckily, the fall was cushioned by one of the candelabra. If not, the Sto. Niño would have been totally shattered. It was also found tilting and hanging with the cape snagged on the electric candles of the altar. After that, Augustinian friars took the image from the debris of the church and hastily carried it to the Redemptorist Monastery, the first time the icon had left its base since its enthronement in 1740. Augustinian caretakers had to find a safe place for the historic icon because the basilica located at Cebu City’s pier area had been heavily bombed. The symbolism is clear for Catholics: the child Jesus  took shelter in the home of his mother. Its location at the time in a countryside setting amid mango trees and cornfields made the stand-alone building far enough from trouble. The bomb-proof vault was placed under the image of the Blessed Virgin Mary for seven-month sanctuary of the 16th century old image of the Sto. Niño, with its crown, cape, and pedestal intact. This metal vault still exists today in the Redemptorist church placed right beside the Santo Niño. The Redemptorists have a special devotion to Mary as Our Lady of Perpetual Help. This week, you can see upon reaching the Basilica Minore’s retablo, the sacred image of Mary is placed infront of the main altar. #WorldwarII #Redemptoristchurch #OurMotherofPerpetualHelp #SeñorSantoNiñotheheartofCebu #TheHeartofSeñorSantoNiño #FiestaSeñor2018 #NiñoDisciple #453rdfiestaseñor #38thsinulog #SeñorSantoNiñodeCebu #BasilicaMinoredelStoniñodeCebu #CradleofChristianityinAsia #OldestRelicinthePhilippines #OldestReligiousIconinthePhilippines #SeatofPhilippineChristianity #HeraldofPhilippineChristianTradition #CenteroftheFilipinoDevotiontotheSantoNiño #HeartofthePhilippines #Francheskadora #Binibinisugbu (at Redemptorist Church Cebu)

Cebu Tours - Magellan's Cross of Faith

Cebu Tours - As we travel the Island of Cebu, one of the historical places that you should not miss is visiting the cross of Magellan. It is at the base of how christianity and how Cebu was made. The cross symbolizes the great colonialism of the spaniards and how they molded our Country to be what it is now. Part of our culture is a reflection of Spain's culture. Our vast population are mostly christian ant this cross is the center of our dominant religion.

<!--more-->

It was Ferdinand Magellan, the first European to come to the Philippines in 1521. He was also known as Fernao Magalhaes or Fernando Magallanes, he was a Portuguese navigator working for the King of Spain in search of the spice islands (now part of Indonesia, known as Maluku or Moluccas islands). When he and his crews landed on Cebu island, a native chief, Rajah Humabon, met and the two of them became friends. Rajah Humabon, his wife and hundreds of his native warriors through the teachings of Magellan, they all agreed to accept Christianity and they were consequently baptized.

As a symbol of the importance of that day, Magellan planted a cross. It also signifies the start of the propagation of the Roman Catholic faith in the place that is now known as Cebu, in central Philippines. The original cross is reputedly encased in another wooden cross for protection, as people started chipping it away in the belief that it had miraculous healing powers. This prompted the government officials to encase it in tindalo wood and secured it inside a small chapel called "kiosk." The Magellan cross is housed in a small chapel located in front of the present city hall of Cebu, along Magallanes Street (named in honor of Magellan).

But Magellan met his death under the hands of another Visayan chief, Lapu-Lapu, when he opted to venture on the nearby island of Mactan. Mactan is also part of today's Metropolitan Cebu. There, both the statues of Magellan and Lapu-Lapu proudly stand to commemorate the tragic meeting of east and west in this part of the world.

A quick Cebu Tours, you will find that the cross is housed in a chapel next to the Basilica Minore del Santo Niño on Magallanes Street just in front of the city center of Cebu City. A sign below the cross describes the original cross as encased inside the wooden cross that is found in the center of the chapel. This is to protect the original cross from people who chipped away parts of the cross for souvenir purposes in the belief that the cross possesses miraculous powers. Some people, however, believe that the original cross has been destroyed or disappeared after Magellan's death and the cross is a replica that was planted there by the Spaniards after they successfully Christianized the Philippines.
