LEARNING MODULE 2: “Philippine’s Street Dance”
INTRODUCTION
The Filipinos’ love of dance is inextricably linked to festivals. In the Philippines, these festivals are called fiestas.
Fiestas are part of Filipino culture. Each city, town, or barrio has at least one local festival that the Filipinos call their
own to commemorate a historical event, such as the Ati-atihan, or honor a patron saint.
Filipinos are very particular with how they represent their culture, and street dancing during fiestas is one of the
most extravagant parts of it.

PHILIPPINE FESTIVALS WITH STREET DANCING
A. Ati-atihan Festival
The Ati-atihan festival in Kalibo, Aklan is celebrated yearly in honor of its patron, Sto Niño. It is constantly popular
and, with the upbeat rhythmic pounding of the drums, before you know it, you are on the street, shuffling your feet,
shaking your head, ad waving your hands, with the thousands of soot-covered, gaily-costumed revelers in a nonstop
singing-and-dancing celebration. The crowd repeatedly shouts the famous battle cry of the festival, “Viva, Sto.
Niño!” The Ati-atihan is one of the most vibrant, colorful, and fun festivals of the Filipinos.
B. Sinulog, Cebu City

The Sinulog Festival is held annually on the third Sunday of January, in Cebu City. It is a dance ritual inn honor of
the Sto. Niño. The dance move is similar to the movement of the water current (Sulog in Cebu), thus the Cebuanos
say it as sinulog. This explains the forward-backward movements of the dance. Thousands of locals and visitors flock
to witness and experience the ceremony. The festivity features the liveliest pageantry, with the participants, dressed
in brightly-colored costumes, dance to the rhythm of the drums, trumpets, and gongs. There is a list of activities that
the participants can join in such as the cultural shows, concerts, street fairs, and fireworks display, but the fluvial
procession and the grand dance parade are the highlights of the festival.
C. Dinagyang, Iloilo City

The Dinagyang Festival is an Ilonggo’s pride. It is a religious and cultural event in Iloilo City which is held annually
in the fourth weekend of January. The festival is a thanksgiving celebration in honor of Señor Sto. Niño. It is also a
showcase of the rich heritage of the Ilonggos. The highlights of the feast are the nine-day novena, fluvial procession,
and the Ati cultural parade and competition. The participating tribes, dressed in vibrant tribal costumes, perform
remarkable choreography. The Ati competition commenced in the late ‘60s with only a few tribes participating. As
the years passed, the competition evolved into a more grandiose affair with the participation of more tribes. Starting
in the mid ‘70s, the visitors and spectators were encouraged to join the dancing and merrymaking in the street.
D. Pamulinawen Festival, Laoag City

The Pamulinawen Festival is held every first week of February, the Feast Day of St. William, the Hermit, the patron
saint of Laoag City. It is a spectacular festival that features the parade of fully-decorated calesas, floral floats, and
street dancing competition.
E. Tinagba Festival, Bicol

Tinagba Festival in Irida City in Bicol is a harvest-offering event, which coincides with the feast day of Our Lady of
Lourdes. One of the attractions of the festival is a parade of colorful and grandiosely decorated carabao floats filled
with the province’s products. The parade is made livelier with the accompaniment of the marching bands. The
highlight of the event is the street dance competition.

F. Tawo-Tawo, Bayawan City
The Tawo-tawo Festival is held every February 18 in Bayawan City, Dumaguete, Negros Oriental. Tawo-tawo is a
Visayan term which means “person-like”. The festival originated from the need of the farmers in the province to shoo
away the crows, which the locals call mayas, that have been pestering their rice fields. The farmers do not want to
hurt the crows so they thought of putting up tawo-tawo, or scarecrows, to drive the birds away. Bayawan City is a
religious place and its people see it fit to thank and honor their patron saint, Santo Tomas Villanueva, for the constant
bountiful harvest they receive. Thus, they celebrate the Tawo-tawo and thanksgiving feasts simultaneously. The
festival is fun. Locals and visitors come in droves to watch the street dance presentation. Dancers wear colorful
costumes representing the farmers, scarecrows, carabaos, and mayas. They dance in choreographed movements
coordinated with the beats of drums and other musical instruments.
G. Panagbenga Festival, Baguio City

Panagbenga Festival, a flower festival, is a month-long celebration in Baguio City. It is held every February. There
are fun activities such as kite flying, marching band, and fireworks display. The main attraction of the festivity is the
parade of floats adorned with flowers of all kinds and colors. The parade is also a competition of the most colorful
and beautifully-arranged flowers in floats. The event is even made more vibrant and exciting with the delightfully
choreographed street dance movements, with the dancers attired in flower-inspired costumes.
H. Sibug-Sibug Festival, Zamboanga Sibugay

Sibug-Sibug Festival, a two-week event, is celebrated annually during the foundation day of the province of Sibugay,
which is on February 26. During the festival, the Sibugaynons showcase their number one product, which is the
oyster, or talaba in Filipino. The province is known for its biggest, juiciest, and meatiest oysters in the country.
Guests and locals are also entertained through a cultural show that presents the rituals in war, marriage, and birth of
the Sibugaynons. The festival queens, in their elaborate and colorful costumes, lead the street dances with ethnic
themes.
I. Yagyag Festival, Dumaguete City

The Yagyag Festival is celebrated on the streets of the municipality of Sibulan on the last week of April in honor of
St. Anthony de Padua. The festival was born from the spawning ritual done by the volumes of crabs along the shores
of Barangay Cangmating in Sibulan every fourth quarter of the year. The intent of the festival is to preserve the
custom of harvesting crabs during the yagyag, or spawning, season. The festivity is made more fun by the street
dancing competition. The participants display their vibrant and unique presentations, skills, and creativity in imitating
the crab movements.
J. T’nalak Festival, Lake Sebu, South Cotabato

abaca cloth. T symbolizes the cultures of the ethnics groups in the province. The guests, as well as the locals, are
welcomed by street parades, such as the Dayana and T’nalak parades, cultural shows, concerts by local and national
