LINGGANAY is term familiar with Cebuano or Hiligaynon speaking people.
But in many places, people can easily understand "Campana" in Español, as translation to bell than the vernacular batingaw or lingganay. But why I choose this as a title for this blog.
Church Bells, or lingganay played an important role during important activities during the Spanish-era, this is also the means of communicating people and to warn them against imminent danger. During Moro raids, coastal settlements in Luzon and Visayas islands, rang their church bell during invasion, prompting its settlers to scampered for safety in the hinterland.
Church Bells, or lingganay also layed vital role in the relationship of the Spanish missionaries and the people of this country during the colonization. During church rituals and celebrations, the priest/ clergies rang the bell to call the parishioners to participate these celebrations.
"Ang Lingganay, tipik ug kabahin sa kasaysayan sa atong nasud ug sa atong mga lungsod. Ang lingganay, maoy nagtawag ug nagkabig sa daghang mga tawo aron mahimong mga Kristiyanos. Pinaagi sa iyang mga pag-bagting, gitipon ug gipundok ang daghang mga tawo panahon sa pagtudlo sa mga pari nga Katsilang Misyonaryo. Ang lingganay, maoy nagluwas sa daghang kinabuhi sa atong mga kagikan, ug mga ginikanan sa higayon sa pagsulong sa mga Moros, maayo na lang gani kay adunay lingganay". Church bells are always part of our heritage.
This blog are essays about Moro raids, Jesuits and other missionaries' evangelization in the different places in the Philippines.
