Abstraction

Short History of the Folk Dances with

Asian Influences:

Pangalay is a traditional ‘fingernail dance’

of Tausug people from the Sulu Islands
which means ‘Temple of Dance’
according to the Sanskrit language. The
technique of dance is quite similar to the
dance forms of Javanese and Thai. Some
of its element share sameness to Kuntaw
Silat, a Southeast Asian martial art.
Mainly, this dance is performed during
wedding and other occasions. The dance
have two versions which is the pangasik,
performed mainly by males and pangiluk,
performed by both males and females.
The pangalay dancers are usually seen
wearing the Joloano and Janggay
costumes with the metallic fingernail
extensions to the rhythm played by the
local instrumentalists.

Sakuting is a folk dance that portrays a

mock fight between Ilocano Christians
and non-Christians using two sticks
performed during Christmas at town plaza
or at houses as a traditional caroling
show to receive presents or aguinaldo.
The dance came from the Abra province
and is based on the fight of Christians
and non-Christians during the Spanish
colonial period and incorporates the
traditional martial arts called, Arnis in the
Philippines. The music used is not only
influenced by the Spanish but also of the
Chinese with its staccato inflections and
rhythmic tapping as its traditional music
style.

Sua-ku-su is a traditional courtship dance

of the Tausug with Chinese, Malaysian
and Indonesian influence. The name of
the dance means,’my pomelo tree.’Aside
from being known as fearsome warriors,
the Tausug of Sulu are also known better
as tough seafarers and farmers. Among
the fruits and other crops in their orchards
and fields are pomelos by which they’ve
strongly depended on for their income
which drives them to compare the overall
features of the pomelo tree to a lady’s
virtue and is sang by couples when put to
music as they flap two fans which
resembles the rustling of the leaves.
Sua-ku-sua performers covered their face
thickly with finely ground rice powder and
eyebrows and sideburns are enhanced
soothingly for beauty’s sake.

Binislakan (Lingayen) is a folk dance of

Pangasinense from Lingayen,
Pangasinan by which the name of the
municipality Lingayen id derived from the
Chinese word, ‘Li-King-Tung’ which
means to look backward and forward
which is incorporated in the movement of
the dancers, hence the name Lingayen.
Binislakan on the otherhand means ‘the
use of sticks’ that imitates the Chinese in
using chopsticks when eating. In the
dance, the use of two sticks is also
incorporated to create rhythm thus, the
dance called Binislakan.
