Ragragsakan
videocredit
(rahg-rahg-SAH-kahn)
This is classified under Mountain-Igorot Dances. It is an adaptation of a tradition in which Kalinga women gather and prepare for a budong, or peace pact.
The Kalingga borrowed the beautiful word ragragsakan from the Ilocano, which means "merriment." The two biggest occassions for a ragragsakan in a Kalinga village are for the homecoming of successful head takers and the culmination of peace-pact between warring tribes. In this dance, Kalinga maidens balance labba baskets on thier heads, wave colorful tribal blankets, and sing short salidumay songs as they snake through the terrace dikes and skip through breaks in the path.
