jota.

HISTORY OF TIKLOS
The Tiklos is a native peasant dance of Leyte. Very early in the
morning, the leader of the tiklos beats the tambora, a kind of
drum made from a hollow trunk of a tree with a carabao hide
head. Next comes sounds of the subing (bamboo flutes) and the
guimbal-a small snare drum with a head of a parchment made
from the skin of a wildcat.

Tiklos (also called “pintakasi”) is the Waray equivalent to the “bayanihan”. Groups of
people work for somebody without hoping for anything in return. They work odd jobs like
clearing forests, digging the earth for wells, moving a nipa hut to a new location or even
building a house! In all these for free. Of course grateful benefactors would offer drinks
and food; but it is not always expected. The peasants cooperate for the social and
economic progress of their community. The peasants come out with grass hooks, bols and
other garden tools and farm implements. Led by the band, they march together to work in
the fields. During breaks the peasants enjoy themselves with tuba (a native wine) and the
rest dance the tiklos accompanied by the subing (plawta), guimbal and tambora drums or
when available, the “sista” played by the band. The Tiklos music is also played to call
them back to work. SOURCE: Philippine Folk Dances V4, by FR Aquino DAGAW:
