Pandanggo ni Neneng (Balitaw) Ruben Tagalog

Pandanggo ni Neneng is a Tagalog Balitaw composition of Prof. Santiago S. Suarez (b. 1901; d. 1964) with lyrics by Levi Celerio (b. 1912; d. 2002) and interpreted by the "King of Kundiman" Ruben Tagalog (b.1920; d.1983).

Levi Celerio made a somewhat over confident statement when he wrote "Ang Pandanggo ni Neneng ay mahirap ng pumanaw, habang nasa nayon ang alit-it ng kawayan" (English: Neneng's Pandanggo is hard to fade away etc.) No more than 3 decades after this song was composed, no Filipino countryside youth can dance the Pandanggo during feast days or Fiestas.

The Pandanggo dance has been totally forgotten by the young Filipinos of today. The Philippine Pandanggo is danced only in schools and by Folk dance troupes performing Philippine cultural shows.

Ano naman ang Kaligatan?

[philclassic]

@tofutokwa: Kayumangging kaligatan: iyan ang kulay ng balat ng Filipino. Hindi maitim at hindi maputi. Kung sa Ingles ito ay "light brown" (Kayumanggi =brown ; Kaligatan =smooth).
