BINASUAN (beeh-nah-SOOH-ahn) This colorful and lively dance from Bayambang in Pangasinan Province shows off the balancing

skills of the dancers. The glasses that the dancers gracefully, yet carefully, maneuver are halffilled with rice wine. Binasuan meaning "with the use of a drinking glass" in the language of Pangasinan, is often performed as entertainment at weddings, birthdays, and fiestas. "Pagdiwata," or "Thirteenth Moon" In August 2003, in conjunction with MOONFEST's inaugural year, The Bayanihan National Folk Dance Company of the Philippines (the Bayanihan) performed a piece derived from the Pagdiwata, a seven-day rite of the Tagbanua tribe in Palawan City on the island of Mindanao. It's based on the belief that on the occasion of a thirteenth moon, three goddesses descend from the heavens, become priestesses and join villagers in celebration, blessing the planting of the rice fields. The piece was taught to the Bayanihan by Carmen de Jesus Tiglao, choreographer and founder of the Baile Foundation of the Philippines. It was originally researched and choreographed by Lucretia Reyes Urtula. The choreography distills the Pagdiwata to a seven-minute dance performance. The three goddess-priestesses balance lighted bowls on their heads while carrying bowls in their hands. The bowls contain burning candles meant to light the villagers' way to the fields. As the goddess-priestesses dance between bamboo poles, the villagers dance around them.
