About Event: Suman originates from the harvest feasting of early Filipinos before the histories with the Spanish, American, and Japanese colonizers existed. The Tagalog-Spanish dictionary written by Domingo de los Santos in the 1700s even explains the terms calamay and kakanin as offerings. Suman is one of the main offerings for dambana’s (alters) and gifts during the holiday season. The thoughts and stories that are cultivated while making suman brings forth a synergy that feels sacred.
