The  Itik-Itik, which originated as an improvised dance in Surigao del Sur and was

discovered by National Artist for Dance Francisca Reyes-Aquino; and the Tinikling,

which is similar to Singkil with its use of bamboo poles that dancers must weave
through. It is supposed to mimic the movement of the local tikling birds.

Bodabil

Like its American counterpart, bodabil featured a variety of musical numbers, comedic

and dramatic skits, and song and dance numbers. Popular Filipino performers such
as Dolphy, Anita Linda, and sarsuwela legend Atang de la Rama got their start
in bodabil.  It has since died out with the rise of cinema, but its influence can still be felt
in television variety shows.
