Local Style Filipino Party

For a lot of people when they think of Sinulog, they think of the devotion, dancing, music, big crowds, and partying in Cebu City. Today I found out that Sinulog and devotion to Sto. Nino goes much deeper and can be found in even the smallest of places...
Well this year I headed out to a small area of Brgy. Carmen in Cagayan de Oro City where I stumbled upon the "city like barrio" of Zayas. Just like everyone in Cebu City... The locals were showing there love and devotion to Sto. Nino in their own little ways. Many of the residents in the area are your everyday hardworking Filipinos. Many are construction workers, drivers or simply working jobs for minimum wage...
Many most likely have tough lives and probably struggle from time to time.
But that doesn't mean...
They don't celebrate.
It was really inspiring seeing the locals show devotion to Sto. Nino. Seeing the locals share happiness, food, dance and laughter. Seeing the locals...
Enjoy life.
There is something really beautiful about the way Filipinos can enjoy life... It makes me believe that regardless of any struggles I face in my life... I shouldn't be afraid and I shouldn't let it take away from me really truly enjoying moments of happiness.
One day at a time.

    I've been to some remote islands, in the Polillo archipelago, where there wasn't even an electrical grid only generators. I was playing with the kids and taking photos, about 10 of them, and all they had was a broken laundry basket with a rope tied to it to pull each other around. Another girl had a doll, but it was headless and was missing limbs. They weren't sad or complaining, they were all smiles, living life and having fun. It's not about what you have, it's about how much you live.

    Being around people who are so happy and appreciative, really rubs off. It's contagious. It makes the feeling of being in the Philippines so addictive. It is true in the United States, we work so much and equate success largely by materials. And for all we have, we are never contented, we always need more. We need the newest technology, the next I phone, 4k television, stylish Suv. We are taught so many times to look outside ourselves to find happiness.

    When I was growing up in the Philippines I remember we didn't have extravagant things or house. My single mom always tell us to be good "lagi magpakabait" and focus on our study. She always say "wala akong maipapa mana sa inyong magka kapatid kundi ang mapag aral ko lang kayo", I don't have anything to leave behind for you all, just a merely education. Now that I'm older I realized that she didn't just give us education, she taught us how to be happy. She never teach us to be materialistic. All that matters to her was keeping us all together, seeing us eating three times a day, a healthy wellbeing and most of all to be a God fearing individuals. Life in the Philippines is hard, but only for those who don't appreciate what they have. This particular video Kulas is the core values of Filipinos, be happy, live simply, love your neighbors and pray ....... a lot! Thank you Kulas! I think your next project will be bigger in either ABS-CBN or GMA, just remember always, to be continued

    They're living a happy life even though they're little, that's what they had is a freedom to be happy. They celebrate Ati-atihan is also a part of Filipino culture showing their love and devotion to Sto. Niño and they serve more delicious food as part of celebration for free . I am a Filipino and I am so happy of being a FIlipino but anyone can be a Filipino just like Kyle...Look at him he is becoming a FIlpino now that's why he was so happy...

Just also a good education so that we can help our fellowmen especially in crisis. I think this is all because of our being religious which is believing in Jesus Christ...and having FAITH and HOPE....that makes us smile everyday... We really think that we are all brothers and sisters and all son of God.... And I hope other foreigners who only see our country as a dangerous place would see this brighter side of our country which is very beautiful...spread love from Philippines😘😘 hope other countries will find the true happiness like us for being just contented...

My wife and I are planning a visit hopefully this year, if not next year. It would be great to meet up with you there. Aloha my friend.

    Hi Kulas, I watched all your videos and am always looking forward for new ones. I thought message below is appropriate for some of your videos "If wealth is the secret to happiness then the rich should be dancing on the streets instead simple kids do. If power insures security, then officials should walk unguarded. But instead those who live simply, sleep soundly. If beauty and fame bring ideal relationships, then celebrities should have the best marriage. BUT IT'S NOT HERE. Simplicity leads the world. Live simply, walk humbly, love genuinely..."
