Pangasinan Cultural Hunt

I keep on discovering new old things about Pangasinan culture -- new things I and most people today have never heard about, the knowledge confined to only a few aficionados such as university professors and unsung cultural warriors.

Sayaw ed Tapew na Plato - what is this dance?

Pito'y Oras - a folk song used as accompaniment for the binasuan dance

Ay Isa, Ay Dua - another folk song I've never heard

According to Rafael Saygo, deremen was originally not consumed by the community but made for Igorots who used it as ritual food offering or something.

Sayaw na Sumisigay - never seen it

Kansyon na Sumisigay - never heard it

***

Say Pusok so Mannangnangis - saw it performed by local senior citizens

Siwi-Siwi dance - I saw it on YouTube
