This traditional dance came from the northwestern part of Samar. It is popular in the municipalities of Capul, Allen and Lavezares. It is also performed by the old folks of Calbayog. In fact, an excerpt from the Lavezares dance (the last ballroom figure) is the "Ti Yadut" of Calbayog.
The dance is similar to a surtido because of the assorted folk and traditional dance steps like kuradang , pi'ang-pi'ang, paseo con cambio pareja and valse with patty-cake turns; which are strung to have the dance performed.
The dance have been popularized by a an unidentified folk dance group from Calbayog City. Researchers of the Bayanihan came across the Lavezares dance in one of their researches in Samar in the late 1970's. The dance has, since then, became a part of their Spanish-influenced dance repertoire.
The music that accompanies the dance is a lovely mix of favorite Waray melodies which are played in this order:
(1) the Pandangyado which sounds like Costurera of Ilo-ilo, played in the paseo
(2) a very short excerpt of the Kuratsa Menor/Kuradang
(3) a stylized (embellished) Duyan music with mellesmatic style almost similar to a Lancero or Rigodon music
(4) an Interlude
(5) two-part Ti Yadut music repeated twice.
The dancers wear the late 19th century fashions preferably the Maria Clara con cola for the women and an elaborate Barong Tagalog or the americana cerrada for the gentlemen. The women's cola is either tucked on the waist or held by left hand by hooking a ring to the end of the 'tail'.

The most popular Abaknon (or Capuleño to "outsiders") dance is probably the "Dos Amigos" which is one big favorite among fiestas where its performance serves as a "pasakalyi" or intermissions between scenes in a local Abaknon "komidya". There are however, many folk and traditional dances from the small island: Mazurka Capuleña,Lavezares, Kuratsa (introduced by their Waray relatives) and the Estudiantina.
The Abaknon Estudiantina is one of the three available versions of Philippine Estudiantina dances, popular in its broken Spanish name, "Estudiantina de Capuleño". The proper term should have been "La Estudiantina Capuleña". This dance is simply called Estudiantina in the other towns in Samar where it is also popular.
The dance could have derived its name from "estudiantina" which is the all-string band that plays the dance music in the many 'baylihan' during the Spanish colonial period. The estudiantina is more popular as the 'rondalla'. It is also called 'tuna' and 'murga'. In fact, in the present day Spanish world, the term used is either tuna or estudiantina.
This dance is usually performed during occasions like baptismal and birthday parties, weddings and even town fiesta. It is very popular in the town of Capul as well as in the nearby towns of Allen, Lavezares and Victoria in Northern Samar.
A notation of this dance's music and the literature is found in the book VISAYAN FOLK DANCES volume 2 by Liberatd Fajardo.

Tausug dancers are trained by highly-skilled dance trainors that strictly adhere to tradit
Tausug dancers are trained by highly-skilled dance trainors that strictly adhere to traditional style of their dances. The Maglangka (means 'to dance') rehearses young [girls] trainees to the correct posturing or hand movements and placements which are in turn very basic in learning more elaborate Tausug dances like the Pangalay. The Maglangka, though a precursor to the nuances of popular Tausug dances is however, a dance in itself. The maglangka 'practice' is made more difficult and challenging when performed in the confines of a large square scarf, colorful reed mats or Arabian carpets when affordable. The dancers execute all motions of the dance without getting off the scarf.
Modern versions of the maglangka have, however, treated the scarf simply as a prop or a decoration. Dancers simply go wherever the like.
The version in this video is a from a Tausug informant named Datu Mama Sinsuat ,the late Ramon Obusan found in Intramuros, Manila in 1965. The ROFG popularized the version that was later, published by the Philippine Folk Dance Society (PFDS) authored dance book "SAYAW: Dances of the Philippine Islands" Volume 6.

The Janggay or 'Igal Janggay" is one Badjao dance that is performed to the tradition of the Pangalay. Pangalay being a predominant dance form favorite among the gentle people of the Sulu archipelago.
Janggay refers to metal fingernails or claws that the dancers wear on their hands as the sinuous movements of pangalay figures are executed. To the Sama de Laut people it is called "solengkengkeng". The janggay is supposed to enhance or magnify the dancer's hand twists and wrist flicks because it serves like a sort of an extension.
From the usual starting position, the Sinalayan, the dance progresses to different pangalay postures moving to a dampened sound of local gongs. Emphasis is however, not moved away from the janggay, the object of the dance.

This dance is also called "Panderetas de Amor". Panderetas means "tambourines" in Spanish.
This dance is also called "Panderetas de Amor". Panderetas means "tambourines" in Spanish. This dance portarays a heavy Spanish influence. Of the two available versions of this dance, this one is more Hispanic in execution. The dance is from Manila.
Bayanihan researches in the early 1950s discovered this dance in the capital city and has been included in their Maria Clara Suite since then. The second version of the Panderetas is the Yuletide folk dance from Tanza, Ilo-ilo called "Las Panderetas". The music used in the later is a typical Visayan "daygon" similar to the pastores musics used in the pastores traditions in Bikol, Cebu, Leyte and Samar.

The name of the dance is derived from the old Spanish-era silver coin the "conant".
It is notable that Pangasinan folk and traditional dances are fond of dance props. Popular among these props are the bangko, coconut shells with lighted candles inside, fans, wine glasses, sticks, takuko, and even earthen pots filled with water or camote. And for these dance- a coin!
The konan is in fact a game for children played in the same way as the 'cookie snatch game' where a small cookie placed in the forehead must reach the mouth by making all sorts of facial contortions.
The dance could have been derived from this game.
