Check their answers against the following answers. Please note that students’ answers may vary depending on the extent of their prior knowledge about
the subject.
Just by simply looking at the pictures would tell you right away that some of the regional and national folk dances of the country have been greatly
influenced by our neighboring countries like Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, China, Cambodia, Burma, and Japan. These are manifested in the use of
colorful and intricately designed costumes, accesories and props like fans, headresses, janggay; and the use of musical instruments like gongs, kulintangs
which are not part of Philippine culture.
– 4. Countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, China, Cambodia, Burma, and Japan have strongly influenced Philippine culture, especially the
dance. The effect of acculturation, may have modified our indigenous dances. This is evident in the use of chopsticks which was barrowed from the
Chinese now used as implements in the dances Binislakan and Sakuting; the use of colorful fans, beautiful costumes, and headresses among the Japanese
and Chinese influenced are now used for the dance Sua-Ku-Sua; the use of janggay and flamboyant headdresses inspired by Indonesian, Thai, and Malay
culture which are now used for the dance Pangalay. These are just some of the evidences that of the strong infuences made by our neighboring countries.
5. Yes! Looking at the performers’ poses would give you the ideas of various scenarios that can actually transcend through folk dancing such as:
Courtship - a princess is being protected by her guards as men around her try to win her heart
Harvesting - peasants gather together as they prepare for their daily soil cultivation and moutain clearing, ready for planting using sticks or simply
barehands.
Merriment - for a bountiful harvest or fiesta or to commemorate and honor an important king or ancestor who.contributed to the development of a place
