TRIBU DOMIGUENOS || CAGSAWA FESTIVAL 2024 STREET DANCE COMPETITION
FAITH IN COLOR Clad in colorful costumes, dancers from seven contingents from all over Bicol region showcase the culture and history of the first Cagsawa Church that was completed 300 years ago in Daraga, Albay, during the regional street dance competition dated 16 February 2024.
The Cagsawa Ruins (also spelled as Kagsawa, historically spelled as Cagsaua). Cagsawa Ruins are a remnant of what was once historically a Franciscan-built church complex. The first friars of the Alcantarine group of the Order of Friars Minor arrived and started their mission in the settlement in 1587. The church was erected by Fr. Pedro Bautista in 1591. However, it was not spared when Cagsawa was razed by the invading Dutch armed forces wanting to seize control of the colony from the Spaniards on July 25, 1639.
The first church made of stone was erected by Fr. Acacio de la Conception in 1675 and dedicated to the advocation of St. James the Greater. In 1724, it was leveled to the ground by Fr. Francisco Blanco to give way to a new, bigger church. He also built other edifices such as the convent, court house, store rooms, and the now famous belfry.
On the fateful day of February 1, 1814, Mayon Volcano erupted. According to records, the bells of the parish tolled to warn the townsfolk of the calamity. Two hundred people took shelter within the walls of the church, but they soon were trapped and died from the pyroclastic flow and lahar. The devastation buried Budiao, Camalig, Cagsawa, and Guinobatan in a layer of volcanic materials, rocks, and ash. It is estimated 1,200 people perished on that cataclysmic day.
What remained of the 18th-century, Baroque stone church were a part of the facade including an intact pediment and the adjoining bell tower. The facade however fell to rubble sometime in the 1930s, while the uppermost portion of the iconic pyramidal bell tower remains standing.
