CONCEPT NOTES:
Philippine folkdances speak so much about the heartbeat of our people for they tell about our customs, ideas,
beliefs, superstitions, and events of daily living in a certain community through gongs, kulintangs and the incorporation of
pentatonic scale to our musical compositions are just concrete proofs of acculturation in the country. These are the
reasons why Philippine folkdances contribute to the very rich culture of the country not only here but also in abroad.
Just by looking at the costumes, props, and implements of a certain group or tribe would tell you of the origin of
the dance. The kind of music being used readily also tell about the influences brought about by trade and settlement of
our neighboring countries such as China, Malaysia, Indonesia, Burma, Cambodia, Thailand and Japan to name a few.

on the income the pomelo bring them and this relationship is romanticized by comparing the sua’s gentle leaves, slender
branches, attractive fruits and fragrant flowers to the virtues of a lady. Put to music, it is this song that is sang by couples
while flapping two white fans each resembling leaves rustling in the wind in the Sua-Ku-Sua Dance.

the Pangasik and features more martial movements, while a pangalay that features both a male and female dancer is
called Pangiluk.
