their customs, depicts their costumes, and visualizes their inherent culture. It has a definite
pattern or action routine that is precise and religiously followed by its people.

The Philippine Folk Dance in particular is being studied to perpetuate the customs and
tradition of the Filipinos. Like other countries, these are the traditional dances which evolved
naturally and spontaneously in connection with everyday activities and experiences of the
people who developed them.

It has been said that folk dancing is the heartbeat of the people – the outburst of people’s
feelings. Philippine folk dances are traditional social expressions of the Filipinos. It expresses
their ideals, mores, feelings and thoughts. As a people, Filipinos express their aspiration,

Tiklos

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Upon completing this Learning Module, you will be able to:

1. Interpret the folk dance Tiklos according to its dance literature
2. Execute the four (4) figures of the dance properly.
3. Perform the whole dance and do self-assessment using the given rubric.

CONTENT

Tiklos (also called

“pintakasi”) is the Waray equivalent to the “bayanihan”. Groups of people work for somebody
without hoping for anything in return. They work odd jobs like clearing forests, digging the
earth for wells, moving a nipa hut to a new location or even building a house! In all these for
free. Of course grateful benefactors would offer drinks and food; but it is not always
expected. The peasants cooperate for the social and economic progress of their
community.

The Tiklos is a native peasant dance of Leyte. Very early in the morning, the leader of the
tiklos beats the tambora, a kind of drum made from a hollow trunk of a tree with a carabao
hide head. Next comes sounds of the subing (bamboo flutes) and the guimbal-a small snare
drum with a head of a parchment made from the skin of a wildcat. The peasants come out
with grass hooks, bols and other garden tools and farm implements. Led by the band, they
march together to work in the fields. During breaks the peasants enjoy themselves with tuba (a
native wine) and the rest dance the tiklos accompanied by the subing (plawta), guimbal and

11
tambora drums or when available, the “sista” played by the band. The Tiklos music is also
played to call them back to work.

The costumes for the Tiklos are not as elaborate as some costumes. Males generally wear
long pants, and a long, loose shirt. Many times they are barefoot. The ladies wear long skirts
and long-sleeved peasant-type blouse. A wrap, much like an apron is worn over the skirt.
