Pride of PSU-Bayambang: Matalunggaring Dance Troupe
The Matalunggaring Dance Troupe was founded by Prof. Januario Cuchapin in 1986. In 2022, the group is in its 36th year of promoting the cultural dances and songs of Pangasinan. Matalunggaring Dance Troupe has performed, not only during special occasions in Bayambang, but also in big gatherings in the province, region, and elsewhere.
Some of its most memorable performances were during the National Tourism Month in the City of Manila as well as in Pasig City, Cultural Center of the Philippines, Paskuhan Village in Pampanga, and SM City Rosales, and in front of foreign visitors of the province of Pangasinan. The group also had a chance to perform in a contest on the popular noontime TV show “It’s Showtime” and became a weekly winner.
One of the troupe’s most popular performances is the Bayambang version of the “Sayaw ed Tapew na Bangko,” which Prof. Cuchapin researched on in 1989.
The 'MDT' is currently under the direction of Mr. Jordan Neri.
