Unpublished Bachelor in Broadcasting Undergraduate Thesis, West Visayas State University, Iloilo City, March 2014. Exposure to Political Issues and Electoral Success among Former Media Men in Iloilo: A Case Study. This paper presents the basic phonological, morphological and syntactic structures of the language based on both the written and actual spoken language following the framework of discourse-functional grammar.īangero, Hyacinth B. This paper is the first to make a detailed description of the Masbatenyo grammar after Wolfenden’s (2001) brief discussion in his dictionary. In undertaking this research, the following objectives have been set: (1) to describe the language based on the actual spoken language and (2) to depart from the traditional analyses done in the previous studies by providing alternative analyses on the issues found in Philippine languages.
It is a short description of the most salient points of the grammar of the language. This grammatical sketch of Masbatenyo language is another attempt to document the language. Wolfenden (2001) identified three major dialects of Masbatenyo: the western dialect centered around the town of Balud on the western coast which is close to Capiz, the southern dialect centered about the town of Cataingan in the southeastern part of Masbate and the northern dialect covering the whole northern half of Masbate and centered on Masbate City. It is most closely related to Capiznon (79 % lexical similarity) and Hiligaynon (76% lexical similarity), according to Ethnologue (Simons & Fennig, 2018). It is the statutory language of Masbate province, spoken by 724,000 speakers as a first language by around 474,000 speakers (2005 UNSD) and as a second language by 250,000 speakers (SIL 2002). The Minasbate language (msb), otherwise known as Masbatenyo (or Masbateńo), belongs to the Bisayan subgroup of Central Philippines, which is a member of the Western Malayo-Polynesian subgroup of the Austronesian language family (Simons & Fennig 2018).

However, they learned a little of local history as part of the town’s culture since their experience focused more on the aesthetics of dancing. Finally, through their yearly participation, participants became culture learners. Also, the following were considered as factors for participation the school encouragement, participation and parent’s decision, friends’ participation, and the trainer’s skills and attitude towards training. The experiences revealed that participation was important because of the expectation of the kins and the community, and their personal interest in dancing.
Using Groenewalds Five Steps of Explicitation Process, eight themes emerged as essence of their experiences. The results of this study provided valuable insights on the importance of participation, the factors affecting it and what is learned by the dance performers particularly in the context of local history and culture. The study site is a public high school with the highest number of enrolees in the whole municipality of Dingle, Iloilo Province in 2013. Data came from personal interviews, narrative texts of the experience, focused group discussions (FGD) and all locally saved documents. ABSTRACT Since festivals are manifestations of the value that give the Visayans their beginnings (Funtecha, 1986), this phenomenological study explored the meaning, structure and essence of the experiences of high school dance performers in the Pagdihon Festival in Dingle, Iloilo to locate Local History notions.
