1The PANDANG-GITAB Mindoro (“Festival of Lights”) is celebrated every November 15.
The PANDANG-GITAB Mindoro was coined from PANDANGGO sa ILAW and DAGITAB (flicker of light), a lively street dancing, adapting the basic steps and usic of the original Pandanggo sa Ilaw.
The style is the traditional saw and balance movements with the graceful shallow gyrating of hips and torso. It was danced as a send-off and welcome to the male villagers going out to sea for fishing in the cold early hours of the norning.
This dance suggests the fitting use of the tinghoy (gasera or oil lamp) with its lighted wick helplessly flickering like fireflies in the wind-kissed darkness of the seafront.
