Yeah, but Spanish never became the common language. Even Chabacano, a Filipino dialect that’s mostly Spanish and spoken in one province, is as different from modern Spanish as Portuguese or Italian.

@@StockyDude Spanish was the lingua franca for a while until the Americans came in and replaced it with English

@@StockyDudeWhy was the first constitution written in Spanish or did the first pamphlets spread the idea of independence?

Spanish only never became the common lingo bcs the English banned it and the Japanese embraced Tagalog. Most of our revolutionaries spoke in Spanish, clearly influenced and fueled by European nationalism.

@@StockyDude Spanish actually was an official language but was replaced when the Americans conquered the Philippines and had teachers from US to teach the population English. It also doesn't helped that Spanish was only spoken by the officials and elites.

Sayaw sa bangko (chair dance) is also dope

They are both Spanish/Hispanic influenced as well in the way of clothing. but indeed the roots of Tinikling and the bamboo sticks are South East Asian :)

Samantha, this Tinikling dance is supposed to simulate the movements of the Tikling birds to escape the bamboo snares or traps. And you are correct, the tempo is 3/4 like a fast waltz.

Tikling is a bird but it is not a swallow. The dance (tinikling) depicts the tikling trying to escape from a trap. I used to hunt the tikling with a slingshot when I was growing up in Nueva Ecija. I am now writing from Virginia, USA.

Akala ko ti nik ling

@@pearloftheorient2752 I have a set of Filipino dance videos by an acclaimed Filipino dance group from the Philippines. I obtained these dances because our children, although of at least half Filipino parentage, were interested in learning more of the culture. Adults decided to teach them our traditional dances. The set named the different suites thusly, You should thoroughly peruse the different products coming out of the Philippines and correct them so others are not mistaken.

@@puglover4280 just dont used the word spanish and muslim , they are all filipino give me video or books that this spanish suite was worn in spain or any hispanic country...they do have european vibes because thats part or civilization alangan naka bahag sila, just use the word barot saya terno maria clara dont use spnish suite coz you cannot see that in spain, ask any spañol if they can indentify or they have similar costume like.coz theyre not , dont.use.the word muslim dance or.muslim suite.muslim.my.friend.from.indonesia. who.is a muslim mention theres no such thing as muslim dance or muslim suite.its just saying christian dance christian suite like.the singkil , it is the dance of maranao people.from mindanao.dont.use its a muslim dance or muslik costume

@@pearloftheorient2752 Maria and Clara are Spanish names. Perhaps that should be changed too. One of the parents btw is Tausug and I asked her about that. She told me that she herself called it Muslim suite. This is the reason I used a slash because another generation knew them as the former. That's neither here nor there. I assume your objective is to enlighten not direct condescendingly. Be careful how you approach with your words. You are coming across as intolerant and scolding.

😂

More true than one would intuitely think. All you need is a sense of rhythm. Your eyes would betray you more than your ears in this case.

😂 i'll try but i may fall down

😊

Thank you so much

Thank you Mr Bryantpark88 for referring to Bayanihan National Dance Company’s collage of Philippine dances presented in Seattle, Washington years back. Those were shortened dances solely for youtube time requirement. If am not mistaken that show ran for 1 hour 45 minutes. The Suites presented were Traditions Renewed, Intramuros of Memory, Mindanao Mosaic and lastly People under the Sun!

Suites were original Bayanihan program descriptions!

Thank you so much, and yeas it's a Himalayan Salt Lamp🥰

😱 thank you for the information

Thank You And Enjoy
