Raymond Ayala....La moyoria de ustedes ..lo conocen por ..Daddy Yankee.................Loiza founded in 1660, Puerto Rico.. .... ..July 4, 1950 President Harry S. Truman signed what is .. known as Public Act 600, which allowed Puertoricans .. to draft thier own constitution establishing the Commonwealth .. of Puerto Rico. ....March 3, 1952 the flag of the Commonwealth of .. Puerto Rico is officially adopted. Based on a flag designed by .. a group of patriots in the year 1895.......P.R. HISTORY.................. .... ..The devotion to Santiago came to Puerto Rico with the .. Spanish conquistadors. In 1514, Diego Colon founded one of .. the first towns, on the east coast of the island, ..and called it Santiago del Daguao. The next year, ..the Saint was called upon to help the Spaniards fight .. the Carib Indians on neighboring Vieques island, in revenge for .. an attack the indians had made on the farms in Loiza. ..On many occassions thereafter, Santiago was depended upon to help .. the Spaniards in their fights against the Caribe indians, and .. later the Europeans, like the English and Dutch, who tried .. to take the island. By the early 1600s, the Island annually .. celebrated the feast day of Santiago, every July 25th, with .. great enthusiasm. ......Although the origin of the Festival de Santiago in Loiza .. is unclear, one could imagine the slaves becoming devoted to .. the Saint as they picked up arms and fought along .. side the Spaniards to defend their families, towns and homes. .. Their help must have been most welcomed considering in Loiza .. in those days there were many more slaves compared to .. the handful of Spaniards....... The image of Santiago the Spaniards .. depended on for help was not so unlike some of .. the slaves own gods: Ogun, the god of War, and .. Shango, the god of lighting, thunder and storms. Santiago himself .. was not only considered the saint of war, but also .. the "son of thunder," capable of sending fire down from .. the sky to destroy the enemy. ......West African culture and traditions brought to Puerto Rico by .. the slaves were preserved in Loiza due to the poor .. means of communication and roads the people had with towns .. outside of Loiza in its early days. For this reason, .. although the devotion to Santiago died down in other parts .. of Puerto Rico through the centuries, it was preserved in .. Loiza and is still celebrated today, every year in a week .. (or so) long festival beginning July 25.......The cultural influence .. of the slaves can be seen in the annual celebration .. of this festival. The traditional carnival includes three typical characters, .. the Caballeros (Spanish knights), the Vejigante (Evil or the Moors) ..and Las Locas (men dressed as crazy ladies who sweep .. streets and balconies asking for money). ..Mi cultura, Mi historia, Mi sangre.........Every 3rd week in June ..National Puerto rican day parade......... ....Never forget where U come from .. "TAINO"........ .............. .... ..roots, blood, heart, & .. soul, heritage Loiza Aldea the ..Afrocentric side of Puerto Rico.......... ........ .................. ..
