4. Pansak si Bangku Pansak Si Bangku (Mindanao)- This
dance was inspired by the point of the
rice cycle where the Upland Rice has
been harvested and is ready for milling
and threshing. A male dance performed
on top of a bench by a single boy or a
group of seven boys. The Yakans would
separate the rice grains from the stalks
with their feet and peel off the skin
with their hands, mimicking the
traditional method of milling and
threshing palay with bare feet.
Highland Muslims have their own dance
tradition.
