What is It
During the Spanish regime, the present barrios of
Lorna and Zapote of Biñan, Laguna, were separated. With coconut shells as
implements the people of these two barrios danced the Maglalatik, or Magbabao,
a war dance depicting a fight between the Marcos and the Christians over the latik
(residence left after the coconut milk has been boiled).
The first two two parts of the dance, the
Palipasan and the Baligtaran show the heated
encounter between the groups. The last two
parts, the Paseo and the Sayaw Escaramusa
show the reconciliation between the two groups.
According to the legend the Moros came out
victorious, thus getting the coveted latik. The
Christians, not contented with the result of the
war, sent an envoy to the Moros to offer peace and to baptize them.
The music was divided into five parts: Introduction, A,B,C and D. It was
composed by the late Dr. Francisco Santiago especially for this dance. The original
music for this dance was rhythmic sounds produced by two bamboo sticks against
each other with guitar accompaniment. The COUNTs 1, and , 2, an or 1,2,to a
measure in 2/4 time and 1,2,3 to a in ¾ time.
