What is It
PANDANGGO SA ILAW
Costume
The costume worn in this dance form varies according to the gender, and they are as fol-
lows:
Background / Context:
Pandanggo sa ilaw. The word ‘pandanggo’ is taken from the Spanish word ‘fandango’.
The dance is characterized by the lively steps performed in conjunction with the clapping
while the dancers are following the ¾ beat. Again, this dance calls for graceful balancing
acts so that the lights held by the hand will not fall. This dance is originally from Oriental,
Mindoro.
Pandanggo or Pandanggo sa ilaw literally means the 'Fandango with the Light' in Eng-
lish language. And yes from the name itself, this dance is that dance that involved the ma-
nipulation of the lights. This dance is from the Lubang Island, Mindoro. The term
'Pandanggo' which means 'fandanggo' in the Spanish language is actually dance that is
characterized by marking time with the use of clack of castanets, the snapping of
the fingers and the stomping of the feet in the triple-time rhythm. The person that performs
this graceful dance is often called as the 'pandanggera'. The 'pandanggera' then dances
There is another version of this dance, and the dance resembles the steps that
are performed by the dancers of the 'pandanggo'. This other version of the dance is called
the 'Oasiwas' and this dance has its origins in Lingayen in Pangasinan. This town in the
province is known for its fishing industry and their version of the 'pandanggo' is related to
the fishing industry. Right after their good catch, the fishermen in this town will usually cel-
ebrate by drinking wine and by dancing, and by swinging and circling with the lighted
lamps on the hands of the dancers. The swinging and the circling move of the dancers

This unique dance from the province of Pangasinan is a colorful dance that requires the
dancers to balance the oil lamps on their head while doing their circling in their hands the
lighted lamps that are wrapped in the porous cloth or wrapped in the fishnets. And the mu-
sic that accompanies the dancers is similar to the music that accompanies the dancers of
the 'pandanggo'. This traditional Philippine dance is now the center of a famous festival in
Oriental Mindoro. And the dance is now considered as one of the rituals that the females
perform in order to send off and to welcome the fishermen of the town.
In Oriental Mindoro, this festival with the dance at the center of it all is called the 'Pandang
Gitab' or the 'Festival of Lights'. This festival was coined and developed after the now fa-
mous Filipino folk dance called the 'pandanggo sa ilaw' and the 'dagitab' or the flicker of
light. This festival that is hosted in Oriental Mindoro is celebrated every second week of
November and this is done as a major event as part of the commemoration of the founding
anniversary of Oriental Mindoro. The festival is a new festival that showcases the
dance the culture of the province and this festival is often participated in by hundreds of
performers and participants coming from the many sectors in the province
