    MAGLALATIK

    Maglalatik

    During the Spanish regime, the present barrios of Loma and Zapote of Biñan, Laguna, were
    separated. With coconut shells as implements the people of these two barrios danced the
    Maglalatik, or Magbabao, a war dance depicting a fight between the Moros and the Christians
    over the latik (residue left after the coconut milk has been boiled).

    The first two parts of the dance, the Palipasan and the Baligtaran show the heated encounter
    between the two groups. The last two parts, the Paseo and the Sayaw Escaramusa show the
    reconciliation between the two groups. According to the legend the Moros came out victorious,
    thus getting the coveted latik. The Christians, not contented with the result of the war, sent an
    envoy to the Moros to offer peace and to baptize them.

    The best Maglalatik dancers are found in Zapote. In the daytime during the town fiesta of Biñan,
    the Maglalatik dancers go from house to house performing this dance for money or a gift. In the
    evening they dance Maglalatik in the religious procession as it moves along the streets. They
    perform the dance as an offering to the patron saint of the farmers, San Isidro de Labrador.

    ITIK ITIK DANCE

    Itik-itik is a mimetic folk dance in The Philippines. It originated in the province of Surigao in
    Mindanao. In Itik-itik (from the Tagalog word for "duck"), the dance steps imitate the
    movements of ducks among rice paddies and swamplands, such as wading, flying, and short,
    choppy steps.

    Itik-itik's current form originated in the Philippine towns of Carrascal, Cantilan, Lanuza, and
    Carmen, all in Surigao del Sur. Other versions of the dance do exist, although the Itik-itik
    Surigaonon remains the most popular. These alternate versions are found in Visayas such as
    Samar, Cebu, and Tibiao.

    SINUG DANCE

    Sinug is a dance ritual as prayer performed at the altar before the image of the Holy Child Jesus or the
    Santo Niño. It may have its origins in the Pre-catholic Cebu that imitates water current, sug. Today, it is
    popularly synonymous with the word "Sinulog", a dance mardi gras with steps patterned after the
    traditional dance form while holding and lifting the image of the Santo Niño in the parade.

    SUBLI DANCE 3
    The Sublî is a religious folk dance originating among the Tagalog ethno-linguistic group in the
    Philippines.
    The term “subli” is from two tagalog words “subsub” meaning falling on head and “bali”, which
    means broken. Hence, the dancers appear to be lame and crooked throughout the dance. This
    version is originally a ritual dance of the natives of Bauan, Batangas, which is shown during
    fiestas as a ceremonial worship dance to the town’s icon, the holy cross referred to in the
    vernacular as Mahal Na Poong Santa Cruz
