University of Maryland, College Park Filipino Cultural Association DITO SA AMERIKA 26th Annual Philippine Culture Night April 3, 2004 This dance takes its name from the bells worn on the ankle of a Muslim princess. The Singkil originates from the epic legend, "Darangan," of the Maranao people of Mindanao. This epic tells the fateful story of Princess Gandingan, caught in the forest during an earthquake caused by diwatas, or fairies of the forest. The crisscrossed bamboo poles represent the trees that were falling, which she gracefully avoids. Her lady in waiting loyally accompanies her throughout her ordeal. Finally, she is saved by s prince. Royal Court: Princess: Kathleen Mujemulta Prince: Jerry Abot Lady in Waiting: Charlene Carino Fan Dancers: Gemini Aurillo Jeanine Carino Anna Kristine Ferre Montessa Garcia Kristen Iglesias Melissa Jeresano Farrah Ortiz Jeanine Ortiz Heather Roco Clappers: Chris Endozo Ronnie Gonzaga Dominic Pasion Gerald Perada Musicians: Agong: Ryan Estorniños Kulintang: Alison Mendoza Taught by Don Verde Inspired by the Ramon Obusan Folkloric Group Note: It's unfortunate that the only people who post comments are Filipinos who want to feel superior by pointing out flaws or posting nasty comments. The performers are Filipino American students with limited knowledge of the Philippines, but a lot of pride in learning about their heritage. They've dedicated weeks learning about the cultures of the Philippines and sharing it with their community, despite limitations in budget, costumes, and resources. Comments encouraging them to learn are welcome, but if you cannot find any merit in their efforts, please keep your comments to yourself.
