of the "gangsa" or wind chimes displaying
their stamina and strength as they go about
their daily task of fetching water and
balancing the banga.

from Lubang Island, Mindoro in the Visayas
Region. It requires skill in balancing three
lighted oil lamps or tinghoy, one on the

characterized by lively steps and clapping
that varies in rhythm in 3/4 time. The
lights of the lamps are said to represent
fireflies that are fluttering in the night.
