Literature

Pandanggo is a Philippine folk dance which has become popular in the rural areas
of the Philippines. The dance evolved from Fandango, a Spanish folk dance, which
arrived in the Philippines during the Hispanic period. This dance, together with the Jota,
became popular among the illustrados or the upper class and later adapted among the
local communities. In the early 18th century, any dance that is considered jovial and
lively was called Pandanggo.

There are many versions of this dance and each locality has its own version. Local
dancers have many ways of doing the Pandanggo, but there is one thing in common
between different versions: they have gay and sprightly figures. It may be danced at any
social gathering and is usually accompanied by clapping. In some places, the musicians
do not stop playing until four to five couples have danced, one after the other. When one
couple tires, another takes its place until there are no more who want to dance. The
musicians play faster and faster after each repetition until the dancers are exhausted.

Two of the most popular versions of Pandanggo, as a performing art, are the
Pandanggo sa Ilaw from Mindoro, and Oasioas. Another Philippine folk dance, Cariñosa,
has Pandanggo as its base dance. Pandanggo is still danced by many people but mostly in
religious rituals and processions such as the Pandangguhan sa Pasig, during the
procession of St. Martha, and the Sayaw sa Obando. While Fandango in Spain was
superseded by its modern version, the Flamenco, it has evolved into a popular folk dance,
and as a ritual dance in many religious processions in the Philippines.

Pandanggo sa Ilaw consists of three tinggoy, or oil lamps, balance on the head and
the back of both hands. Ossiwas is a dance characterized by swinging and circling a
lighted lamp. In Pangasinan, it means swinging. Oasiwas is a dance in which an oil lamp
is balanced on the dancer's head as he swings around lighted lamps wrapped in porous
cloth or fishnet. The name of the dance comes from the Pangasinense word for swinging.
The dance is performed by fishermen of Lingayen when celebrating a good catch.
