Philippine Folk dance: Kuratsa
(Version on the video is the popular Kuratsa Binisaya from Tacloban Leyte' found on the book Philippine Folk Dances V.1 by Francisa Reyes-Aquino but the music used is the Kuratsa Bago (from Bago City, Negros Occidental, notation foun in the "Visayan Folk Dances V1" by Libertad Fajardo)
The Kuratsa is highly favored by the Visayan people especially the Waray people of the Eastern Visayan region in the Philippines. Strictly speaking, only one couple dance it at a time. Believed to be a Mexican import (supposedly from La Cucaracha dance typical to Monterrey region of Mexico)- the Kuratsa is however, very different in the manner of execution than the Mexican counterpart. Even the "basic" Kuratsa music is not based on Mexican or even Spanish melodies.
Philippine dance researchers, however, point either to the "Kigal" and the "Bikal" as the 'ascendant' of the Kuratsa. The Kigal (spelled "Quigal" in early Spanish writings on Samar culture and lifeways) is a sort battle-of-sexes couple dance that imitate mating birds. The Kigal is in fact called by another name: Binanug or Kiglun (Kigalun?) that's according to a 17th century Samarnon dictionary by Jesuit missionary to Samar, Fr. Alcazar. It is interesting that Banug uis the Waray word for the hawk.
The Bikal is rather believed to be the fore runner of the Waray Balitaw because of the strict emphasis on "joust" of impromptu songs interspersed with dancing. The bikal is survived by the Ismaylingay and many versions of this art is preserved by aging "magsiriday" in Samar and to a lesser extent Leyte.
The Kigal dance step called 'sabay' is in fact very similar to the Kuratsa dance step called 'dagit' or when more daring the 'sagparak'. Dagit means swoop while sagparak is descriptive of a heated 'bulang' (cockfight). The block and chase portion of the Kuratsa (called 'palanat') is never seen in the Mexican social dance La Cucaracha but is very common among Samar 'amenudo' (or couple dances) like the Ismaylingay, Amoracion, Alimukon, Kuradang and Pantomina.
Popular versions of this dance exist in Samar can be classified as the Kuratsa Menor (the usual favorite) and the many versions of the daring Kuratsa Mayor. New genres of Kuratsa evolved as a result of necessity, like-as the name implies- Kuratsa kanan Kadam-an and a very funny Kuratsa nga Pinayungan appropriate for rainy days.

The New! Philippine Comics, 1990-Present (IN TAGALOG)
Apologies to viewers outside the Philippines as this video is in Tagalog, without subtitles. I hope to have one with English subtitles in the future.
This is a video that should have been presented at the Komiks Congress at the NCCA in Intramuros on February 27, 2007, on behalf of the younger generation of Filipino comic book writers and artists. It wasn't. It's too bad because I feel that the voice of the new generation is an important one if ever the Philippine komiks industry is to be revived.
The Komiks Congress has been organized by personalities of the older generation in the hopes of reviving the Philippine komiks industry. It has come to my realization that they may not be fully aware of us and our accomplishments in the past 15 years, the most important of which is the establishment a new burgeoning industry of comics in the Philippines in a time when the old industry was collapsing.
With this video I hope to give voice to the many of us in the younger generation by introducing ourselves, our work, our hopes and more importantly, our suggestions in the effort to continue reviving the industry.

LAWISWIS KAWAYAN: Philippine Folk Dance
A Waray folk song that has becaome popular throughout the Philippine archipelago. The dance is probably a late choreography to the folk song. There are four versions to the Lawiswis Kawayan dance: one from Kolambugan, Lanao performed by the Waray settlers in that place. Another version from Eastern Samar uses a "bangko/puruk-anan" as an implement to the dancing. The male dancers have a mango leaf on their mouth in one figure of the dance.
The two versios from Leyte are very distinct from each other. One version is performed with female dancers holding two branches of the "kalipayan" bush and are swayed in time to the music. This version is usually done during house blessings. The last version is the one described in the classic Waray stage play "Diri Bata, Diri Ulitawo, Diri Inasaw-an". As described, the dancers hold one internode of a bamboo with leaves on it. The dance ends with a pose holding the nodes into one long bamboo pole.
Given below is the Lawiswis Kawayan song which was traditionally sung alongwith the musicians who play the dance music:
LAWISWIS KAWAYAN
(Tanauan, Leyte version)
Ako magtatanum lawiswis Kawayan
Akon la kan Pikoy palatay-latayan
Salbahis ka Pikoy an imo paghuni
Naghatag ha kalag, hin' ak' kalipayan
Bulahan ka Pikoy, ka Pikoy, tikang panginaun
Nagpili hin sanga,tinugdon, hinapun.
Unina malupad, paglupad iya karantahun
Kundi pagka kulup mabalik guihapon

2006 Hip Hop International Finals - Philippine All-Stars
(Sorry for the shakiness from time to time, especially at the end--mostly after the actual routine, thankfully. I was really nervous for my uncle and for my country!)
The Philippine All-Stars, led by Ken "Kenjhons" Serrano, performs during the final slot of the 2006 Hip Hop International Finals. They performed to a wonderful mix of hip hop, which included "Bebot" by the Black Eyed Peas. Jungee Marcelo, then the acting coach of all three Philippine teams entered into the competition, got to wave the red, white, blue, and gold Philippine flag in victory (not shown in this video but in a separate video). After all was said and done, the Philippines emerged as the world champions with the Gold, New Zealand finished with Silver, and Trinidad & Tobago came away with Bronze.
