Perfect! those who dont like folk dance? well! why are you watching this clip? o my gosh! totally hypocrite are those people commenting negative things about this dance. nanonood din naman. those who hate this dance are those who do not love themselves. Right! nanood pa, negative din naman ang comment! anu kya tawag dun. papansin! nya ha ha! peace!
the heavy spanish influence in filipino culture not only in dances but also in everything from religion, politics, culinary, dances, songs, society in general Filipinos are very latin and are different from other asins in that aspect
Pagsamantalahan ba naman nilang sakupin ng 333 years eh! Nakawawa tayo pero greatly scattered ang influence nila! I'm grateful that our folk dances still exist pero sometimes I'm feeling opposite because it has the Spanish Influence...
DUDE! Go play BASKETBALL! You are a MAN who likes cultural dances? Shit, you are embarassing! Please tell people you are THAI and not Filipino! BASKETBALL!!! Not Folk Dancing! No wonder your father can't stand you!
Hmm I think I know you!!! your real username is "mahalai". The gay idiot of FEU. You have sent me same message as you stated up there. You make new username every time you send me mesej because I blocked all the time.
If you play basketball mahalai, what are you doing with my vidoes?
You faggot must be SOOO insecure with real women, because you seem like a mouthful of wax.
You can never upset me! Not with total a stranger.
Help...we have to dance folk songs in our school and we decided to use panderetas for our dance....but we dont have the c.d.???? pls help where we can download the song..pls pls pls
Anyways back to the production values of the video...these are very talented and well-trained dancers. Maria Clara is difficult to teach and learn because the forms used are 19th century European / ballet forms. These students and their teacher have put in a lot of time to learn the proper hand/arm placement etc, and body posture and to make it all look effortless and easy. We are very lucky to be able to view Maria Clara dances of this calibre on the Web. (cont.)
If im not mistaken maybe we must also be proud that we were colonized by the Spaniards because without them we will not habe this great culture which we are so proud showing off to other countries. But of course they also Chrsitianized our country. Being under Spanish rule isn't that bad, those history lessons we were taught of were so biased!
Ah ok. But I believe those atrocities needed to be known by the Filipinos. That's the Flip side of the Spanish colonization. Even sympathetic Spanish reported to the King to take action to stop all those brutish treatment of the natives. Read "Reseña de la Provincia de Leyte" by Manuel Artigas.
read your world history and then tell me if what spain did to its former colonies (phils, latin am countries) was good. then you ask yourself if you could be honestly proud to be have been colonized by such a country. but if it would be too much for your brains, reread your noli me tangere to get some info about spanish treatment of the "indios."
i dont mean to argue or anything, but history tells us that the most important contribution of Spain is the spread of Christianity to the whole world especially the Americas where they abolished the primitive and cruel practices of the natives to their fellow natives, and built a civilized and educated society. Watch Apocalypto and learn for yourself. But enough of it. The bottomline is Spain is part of our glorious history, and we have much more to thank Spain for, than to hate them for.
The dance and music begins like a proud and sturdy Spanish Lion then as it progresses, it starts to become the smooth and majestic Philippine Eagle. It's like from being an Indio under the Spanish Crown to being a true blue, multicultural and downright Filipino.
(I was talking about the Early Spanish Colonial period upto the Philippine Revolution against Spain.)
Spanish is no longer spoken in the Philippines as much as English is. When the New constitution in 1987 under President Corazon C. Aquino abolished it, not all Filipinos could understand it at all even when it was still part of most curriculum of universities and colleges throughout the archipelago.Although there are over 15,000 Spanish words incorporated in our Language as a whole and 5,000 were from Mejico most Filipnos do not think to be part of the Hispanic world.
ang ganda talaga ng napaka-uniqeu ntng kultura...unique ang kasuotan,ang moves,tugtog..gustu q talagang matu2 ng ganyang mga sayaw kaso parehong kaliwa paa q..hihi
Saiaopinoi, just read your profile, are you from Thailand? If you are, then my dialoguing with you of the importance of the Spanish language probably does not make any sense.
desde las islas canarias,ESPAÑA--VIVA FILIPINAS¡¡VIVA EL IDIOMA ESPAÑOL EN FILIPINAS Y LA RICA HERENCIA CULTURAL.QUE SE MANTENGA EN SUS DIVERSAS FORMAS LA HERENCIA HISPANA-MEXICANA¡¡dice muy bien saiapioni..es zarzuela y otros cantos españoles la musica..VIVA FILIPINAS¡¡VIVA ESPAÑA¡¡VIVA MEXICO¡VIVA LA HISPANIDAD¡¡
I'm a filipino-american element...in a nutshell..Long live the Philippines and the Spanish language...very good SAIAPIONI...long live the Philippines...Spain...Mexico...Long live the Hispanic world...It's a good thing.
estoy de acuerdo! Anyway, there is a difference between national and official language. Prior to 1973, Filipino was always considered the national language. English and Spanish were official languages whereby documents and government affairs were also conducted. In Angola, they have a myriad of languages much like the Philippines, so as to not impose one language over another, they have no national language but rather an official language which is Portuguese, the language that unites them
No disrespect "element" but perhaps this is why President Arroyo is reinstating the Spanish language back to the Philippines...I believe this man is praising this video...
Im here in the Philippines, but I haven't heared of the "reinstating the Spanish language" thing. I personally opt that the National language status quo be upheld. It would be ironic for our beloved country who have MANY local languages to adapt a FOREIGN language as a national language. Mandatory Spanish language courses in college were removed in 1990.
Saiaopinoi- please refer to GOOGLE, and type in "Spanish Language in the Philippines" - wikipedia encyclopedia...Arroyo sees the "explosion" of the importance of its langage. Spanish to the Philippines is as "FOREIGN" as the Muslim religion is to the Philippines. By blood or decree, the P.I. has a connection with the language. BOTH were introduced from somewhere else.
"Future" eventually becomes "present". At the aftermath of World War II, who "then" could forsee that Japan would be the economic super-power she is "today"? Spanish "should" not be implemented to subtract or replace, but hopefully to add and extend...The Filipinos here in the U.S. applaud the decree, NOT to hispanisize the country, but to make it more marketable for a rapidly-growing mobile group of Latino-investors. China, Japan, and Korea know this all too well.
If the Filipinos don't speak English, will the Philippines be not heavily Amercanized as it is today? There is no difference with Spanish. I dont agree with the idea. Im more inspired with the prosperity of Finland, Sweden, Norway and New Zealand. They dont need Spanish.
Again, good thought provoking point. Here is a trivial example. A Filipino man was at a bank, he spoke and understood Spanish as his third language. Two "Spanish-speaking" customers were speaking in Spanish planning to rob a bank. He warned the bank and the authorities knew of the plan and thus squashed a potential robbery. They -by the appearance of this Filipino man- did not think he was Latino! The point is, at that moment, it was an important "tool".
hi saiaopinoi,..idol kita coz u love posting videos like folk dances... and ung mga suggestions mo sa ibang sayaw, nagbibigay kulay talaga dito... pwede ka bang magcomment sa mga syaw namin kung anu pa ang pwede iimprove...? nasa channel ko po mga sayaw namin...! thank you po!
A better example is India. By virtue of its British colonization, the people of India can never be British. However, it has taken advantage of its British heritage and the English language and now have become a "giant" in the computer-engineering field.
Similarly, the Filipino-Americans have become an excellent commodity, here in the U.S., in the field of nursing, medical technology and teaching. Nurses, who speak English and Spanish are more in demand than those who just speak English only. The Filipinos should keep thier native vernaculars plus English and those who "wish" to add Spanish into their linguistic resume, should not be discouraged to do so. Likewise, those who learn Spanish should not think they are superior to other Filipinos.
In your chosen countries of Finland, Sweden and Norway, it is imperative they use English as a second language. Similarly, with Spain's growing influence in European politics and the fact that there are 20 plus Spanish speaking nations, Spanish in Europe is growing in its importance as a lingua franca. New Zealand can stay a monolingual nation, because the major Asian powers that be are able to comprehend in English.
By a Finn, Sweed, or Norwegian being able to speak English or Spanish does nate make them any less Finn, Sweed, or Norwegian. Any more than a person who speaks English and Ilocano-not Tagalog, make him or her any less Filipino.
Furthermore, there is a statistic that the Japanese and Korean government are encouraging their students to learn Spanish now, because of Latin America's growing and future political, and economic potential. It's not about nationalism or ethnicity. It's called future mobility in a global community. It's only natural that Hispanics here in the U.S. consider the Philippines part the Hispanic-world...despite Filipinos not being able to speak Spanish.
It is obvious that that the mandatory Spanish courses of Japanese and Korean students have some sort of 'underpinnings'. MARKET. They want the Latin American market of their hot products. Can the Philippines compete?
In further respect to you Saiapopinoi, the Spanish language is NOT a "superior" tongue, but an equal to Tagalog, Ilocano, Cebuano, English, and other provincial languages that already exist. Nor should it be a justification of the atrocity of 390 years of Spanish rule. The Philippines did not choose their past inasmuch as a child does not choose his/her parents. The most you can do is learn from your past and take advantage of it and move on...
Oficially, from the reign of Miguel Lopez de Legazpi to the victory of the Americans in the Battle of Manila Bay sums upto ONLY 333 years of Spanish occupation. All Spanish clergies were repatriated by 1902. Where did you get the 390 years?
In addition Saiopinoi, I want to clarify to you that this is just my opinion. I'm not trying to change your way of thinking. It is respected. I'm just asking for you to "think" about it with an open mind. The P.I. cannot compete economically with the 7 DRAGONS (Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan...) but can develop to be a "dragon" of a different kind...Your provoking video is proof of what a Filipino is...Asian people, dancing to Hispanic music and you explaining in English...peace-out my friend.
Would you want me to speak in Waray or Thai? I only want people to understand me? THE NEXT TIME YOU POST IN VIDEOS YOU'LL GET FLAT WARAY to let you know Im not joking.
One last point, my thought provoking friend, there is a statistic that number close to 3,000,000 Filipinos who CAN comprehend the Spanish language -albeit perhaps at an elementary level- plus the Chavacano speakers whose language comprises of 70% of Spanish vocabulary. The foundation is already there, hidden, but there. You may never be a Spanish speaker, but that doesn't mean we should limit the new generation who may be able to do so. Peace-out....
Harlem and Break Dancing is now the modern dance in philippine but lets may not forget our cultural folk dance, the school an teacher must incourage the student to learned dances in the pass
Mexicans and Filipinos should see this and celebrate!!! There seems to be more things similar than there are differences. Not many people know about this.
Thanks for rating my video. A 5 is very kind, thanks again. The dance is obviously inspired by the Spanish, but the temperament is undeniably Filipino. The waythe dance is executed is quite different from Spanish pandereta dances.
Asik and Singkil looks Indonesian and even Thai in some of the movements. Even Ifugao dances are so similar to indigenous dances found in Taiwan. Yet, these are uniquely filipino dances. The spanish jota aragonesa doesnt even use bamboo castanets and does not have the "patay" interlude in the middle. The filipino zapateado is also very different compared to its Mexican and Spanish counterparts.
I think there is no clear boundary as to what extent would the Indonesian or Thai dance culture influence on Philippines'. Or could it be otherwise? The Philippine pangalay is lately practiced by Malaysian Sama relatives of our Sama brohers in Sulu. The use of castanets in Philippine dancing predates Spanish contact. The TARIRAY, SUBLI AND BULAH-BULAH use bamboo clickers or sometimes seashells. Oh I forgot... AGALALUKAN dance too!
The black and white Maria Clara was a favorite during the late part of the 19th century Philippines. Skirts were usualy striped, checkered or panelled black and white alternates. Some other colors were used of course.
i don't really see a filipino dance with spanish influence, but rather a completely spanish dance with tiny tiny bit of indegenous influence. i don't get it. i saw dances like Singkil, Asik, and others... isn't that what real filipino culture is like?
The Usual favorite color for the "Maria Clara" ensemble was the black and white combination for silken fabric. If the "kandungga" (scarf) also called baksa was removed a red "Manton de Manila was worn.
Well done! Great control and it's nice to see a folk dance performed devoid of all the flashy and vegas stuff that most dance troupes incorporate into the dance. This is the way a Philippine creole dance should be done! Arriba.

Asik and Singkil looks Indonesian and even Thai in some of the movements. Even Ifugao dances are so similar to indigenous dances found in Taiwan. Yet, these are uniquely filipino dances. The spanish jota aragonesa doesnt even use bamboo castanets and does not have the "patay" interlude in the middle. The filipino zapateado is also very different compared to its Mexican and Spanish counterparts.

I think there is no clear boundary as to what extent would the Indonesian or Thai dance culture influence on Philippines'. Or could it be otherwise? The Philippine pangalay is lately practiced by Malaysian Sama relatives of our Sama brohers in Sulu. The use of castanets in Philippine dancing predates Spanish contact. The TARIRAY, SUBLI AND BULAH-BULAH use bamboo clickers or sometimes seashells. Oh I forgot... AGALALUKAN dance too!

Desde Manila. This dance is actually an intermission of a zarzuela done during Christmastime.

The black and white Maria Clara was a favorite during the late part of the 19th century Philippines. Skirts were usualy striped, checkered or panelled black and white alternates. Some other colors were used of course.

I'm guessing this is from the Manila city-state region in the Philippines. MOST Mexican/Spanish contact was through there.

No problem. That's how you see things. Others might see otherwise. :)

i don't really see a filipino dance with spanish influence, but rather a completely spanish dance with tiny tiny bit of indegenous influence. i don't get it. i saw dances like Singkil, Asik, and others... isn't that what real filipino culture is like?

The Usual favorite color for the "Maria Clara" ensemble was the black and white combination for silken fabric. If the "kandungga" (scarf) also called baksa was removed a red "Manton de Manila was worn.

Well done! Great control and it's nice to see a folk dance performed devoid of all the flashy and vegas stuff that most dance troupes incorporate into the dance. This is the way a Philippine creole dance should be done! Arriba.
