Binanog Dance

Kaye Hazel Yway Gitgano
Binanog is an indigenous dance from the Philippines that features the
movement of an eagle/hawk to the symbolic beating of bamboo and
gong that synchronizes the pulsating movements of the feet and the
hands of the lead and follow dancers.
The Panay Bukidnon are one of only two indigenous communities in
the Visayas,the other being the lraynun-Bukidnon. Also known as the
Tumandok or Suludnon,the Panay Bukidnon communities are
scattered among the hinterlands of Panay,particularly in the interiors
of Tapas,Capiz because of this isolation,several of the community's
pre-Hisnapic practices persist to this day.The community of around
18,000 speaks its own language called Ligbok or lgbok, a language
related to Panay's Kinaray-a language.
