 DALING-DALING
Daling-daling is a courtship dance from Jolo, Sulu. This is a
popular among the young people of that locality. The word
daling means my love. The name of the dance, therefore,
means "my love, my love".
The dancers sing as they perform the dance or the audience
may sing while the dancers perform the dance. The song
reveals how two lovers care for each other. The boys tells the
girl that there is no peace in his mind when he is away from her.
The girl, on the other hand, says that even if they were in two
separate islands her love for him would never change.

 RAGRAGSAKAN
Ragragsakan dance is an adaption of a tradition in which
Kalinga women gather and prepare for a budong or peace
pact.
The Kalingga borrowed the beautiful word Ragragsakan
from the Ilocano, which means "merriment". The two biggest
occasions for a Ragragsakan in a Kalinga Village are for the
homecoming of successful head takers and the culmination
of peace-pact between warring tribes.

In this dance, Kalingga maidens balance
labba baskets on their heads, wave colorful
tribal blankets and sing short Salidumay
songs as they snake through the terrace
dikes and skip through breaks in the path.
This dance portrays the walk of the
industrious Kalingga women, caring water
pots on their heads and wearing the colorful
hand-woven "blankets of life" around their
necks. Their Ealk imitates the climb up the
Rice Terraces in the Mountain Provinces of
the Philippines.
 HISTORY OF
RAGRAGSAKAN
Ragragsakan traces its origins back to the pre-colonial times of the Ilocano people.
The term "Ragragsakan" is derived from the Ilocano word "ragragsak," which means
"to celebrate" or "to revel."
reflects the communal spirit and festive nature of the Ilocano people
always held celebrations to mark various occasions, whether agricultural harvests,
religious events, or cultural milestones.
As Spanish colonization began, the festival took on new dimensions, incorporating
Catholic traditions and Spanish influences.
- once primarily focused on thanking ancestral spirits for a bountiful harvest, began to
incorporate Catholic saints and rituals.
- the festival might include processions dedicated to Catholic saints, such as Saint James
the Great, who is often venerated as the patron saint of Spain.
