  2. History & Origins

  3. WHAT? • It is a ritual where in Spanish and Asian traditions were combined together invoking Christian saints and spirits of nature with chants and food offerings in asking good favors. • These are invoked by the magsanghiyang in a metered chant, half-spoken and half-sung. • It is often accompanied by SayawsaApoy, where firewalkers dance.

  4. FROM WHERE? • It is believed to have started in Naic as a Pagan rite long before the arrival of the Spaniards and the friars suppressed its observance. Then the people learned to incorporate some Catholic elements into the rituals and the majority of spirits invoked are Christian saints.

  5. WHERE? WHAT DOES IT MEAN? • “Sanghiyang” • = “Isa” (one) +“hiyang” (compatible) • = compatible whole or “nagkakaisangkabuuan” • Cavite, especially in the provinces of Alfonso and Indang

  11. HOW IS IT TODAY? • Today, "sanghiyang" is held for various reasons. A sanghiyang performed to celebrate a new house is called basanggilagid, while a sanghiyang conducted to cure the sick is called lawit.

  12. IS IT STILL DONE? There used to be so many “magsasanghiyang” who can perform the ritual but many of them have already died and only a handful of their descendants inherited the capability to do the ritual, so it is still done but not as much as before.
