I hate to say it but it's not limited to schools. It can also happen in the work place especially when it's Christmas time.

[@rishotniuqej8960]

Absolutel !!!every department (in a company) should have a number to perform for contest😂😅.

[@leyloplayz]

true! I am so happy this year cause we are not required to dance cause we are lucky to celebrate our christmas party in Baguio City yeheeey

[@WiillowWren]

I'm a teacher here in the Philippines and we definitely do this every day in my class it's an energizer before we formally start the lesson.

[@nursie8637]

MAPEH (Music, Arts, Physical Education and Health) is a subject from Grade School to High School… no one is exempted 😁😁😁😁😁

[@RuyLopezTheSicilian]

Not even the new hires at every corporate job 😂😂

[@sabinifil5060]

Ang when you got employed, your not even exempted from performing during company aniv and xmas party too.😂

[@chemistIT]

Can we please have a compilation of all the employee performances during corporate Christmas parties? Please!!!

[@CB_EverAfter2]

it doesn't stop at schools. college and even work have events where students/employees are expected to sing/dance 😅😂

[@RuyLopezTheSicilian]

The biggest reason I don't like changing jobs is because new hires are obligated to dance at the first office party that comes up 😂😂

[@StefannieTan]

[@shivashakti4261]

growing up in the Philippines, we had yearly Choral Singing Contest, everyone with no exception participates, each section compete, there was a yearly theme examples: OPM, Christmas, Abba, Apo Hiking, Movie Theme Songs, English, of course, we have dancing competition,: ballroom, folk dance, modern, there was cheering competition, (everyone is required to participate as well), oratorical contest, singing contest, beauty contest, we also have United Nations Day, parade of nations, representatives wear national costume of assigned country, this was fun! I was suprised to learn that all these were not a norm in other schools and other countries.

[@elleyahiya9544]

From elementary, highschool to even college we were REQUIRED to perform🤣 and we didn’t complain. We sing and dance daily, every monthly celebration, every Christmas parties, every graduation. We even act too🥴 OUR TEACHERS ARE THE BEST❤️

[@JulzCamit]

In my college years, specifically the 2nd year, our PE was dancing. Final performance was to dance Salsa. So yeah we are still having the dance class.

[@jomariebelen2374]

Lucky you now I'm 2nd year College and our PE is Arnis 😢

[@tess7083]

​@@jomariebelen2374its also good to know arnis, if we take it seriously, it helps us to know some self defense. it is our MAPEH during my 1st year in highschool

[@DarkR0ze]

@@jomariebelen2374 Dude, we need Arnis to be on all levels of schooling from daycare to tertiary schoolings like in Japan

[@Maricar-ky4wm]

Also in Highschool cause there's MAPEH subject where you try to dance sing and also play sports

[@emilianaandjose4531]

Salsa is a lot more fun. We had folk dance.

[@pdthepanda]

I remember when I was in 1st grade. Our morning exercise after flag ceremony is dancing to Back Street Boys and NSYNC. So yes, dancing is mandatory in Philippines school experience. 😅

[@7eaNess]

Fan siguro si principal ng BSB and NSYNC. that's sounds fun though. during my elem days, it's only selected students that got to perform after the flag raising or some basic stretches and jumping jacks but maybe it has changed now.

[@jerseyjefferson8365]

Ours was sha la la and macarena!

[@gemini7820]

when I was in elementary school we have a dance routine before every starts of every class subject to lossen everybody up and laugh and sweating 😂. So if we have like 5 subjects on that day we had 5 dance routines. It gave us feel good spirit and helped us to be active during class discussion.

[@jen8932]

I used to be an English, Math and Science teacher in the Philippines. And for my motivation/ice breaker/starter/energizer, I used popular song to change its lyrics related to topic/lesson. It was fun to watch kids participating -singing/dancing. It's not every day that I would do this, but one thing is for sure that this kind of strategy will help the students remember the lessons. :-)

[@vincentaguilar7011]

I can assure you that this kids are having fun, the influence of the teacher is a plus point here and this kids for sure will have a memorable experience that they will treasure.

[@vanteestelle6727]

During 7th grade we literally have a subject called MAPEH (Music, Arts, PE and Health), and yes we take PE classes so seriously from elementary to college (we have to learn different dances and perform during our PE classes)

[@Leganite]

Not sure now but back when I was still attending elementary and high school, it's common in the Philippines for the day to start with an exercise where dancing is required.

[@geedad]

And there are level ups of this where instead of just one class, all the classes at that grade level will perform in the grounds (football field). I think we called them grounds demonstration. Each grade level competes with each other. Imagine hundreds and in some schools thousands dancing and singing together to a choreography. There is just so many practices in the Philippines that encourages (actually compelled) singing and dancing. And that is part of how you end up with concert crowds on pitch, on rhytmn and even prison yard choreographed dancing that is actually quite excellent.

[@jeanasoliman2957]

That’s also the very reason why Filipinos are the happiest people in the world because of music.

[@RinkatsiTV]

most public school if not all in Philippines have energizer dance or games before the start of the class. its included in the lesson plan

[@lourdesmorales607]

I am so happy that the classes are like these. The one Thing the Filipino Does not know, and it was never told to us. We can't do things, or that this is not the normal worldwide. We are encourage to do things, experiment things.. As long as we do not hurt or cause harm to your friends, family, or community.

[@harrietdeluna583]

I learned calisthenics dance routine in my high school with my Physical Education class after school we all practiced after school

[@Agane_D.]

It's not just promoted, it is also rewarded. Public Elementary and High Schools creates clubs and dance troops that competes with each other in District, Division, Regional and then National Competitions. There are trophies and cash prices and most importantly BRAGGING RIGHTS!

[@Rouge_Ice]

And that is why filipinos are good performers. Coz we all learn it in some way, may it be in school or at home. We are exposed to the performing arts. 😆 Then it carries over to our adult lives coz we are also expected to know how to perform during corporate events and parties. Heck, even team building events will have some sort of performance battle.😁

[@asterespero2484]

I remember during our elementary days here in the Philippines during our town fiesta there is a folk dance competition for all the elementary schools and my school always won the competition.

[@Summernights1002]

I personally experienced this when i was in Elementary and High School. 90’s kid here. After our Flag Ceremony. And it’s really fun! 😊

[@adianbeat6701]

Because im old school..Mag exercise tayo tuwing umaga was our warm up dance during flag ceremonies back long ago🤍

[@KueenG27]

I come from a family of teachers, 5/6 of my maternal aunts are educators, and I know that pinoy teachers will do their utmost to get the lessons more enjoyable for students. One way to get them enthusiastic about school and get them in their best mindset to learn is to hype them with a bit of dancing and singing.

[@artesiningart4961]

2:21 The Physical Education or now (since 2023 and onwards) Physical Education and Health / Physical and Health Education / Health and Physical Education within or as a part or component of MAPEH (Music, Arts, Physical Education, and Health) school subject or program in the Philippines isn't just about movement development, fitness development, exercises, games, sports, lifestyle management, and indoor and/or outdoor recreations or recreational activities, but also rhythmic activities and dances. That's just with one of our mandatory or compulsory school subejcts or courses from Grade 1 or from Grade 4 to Grade 10 or to Grade 12, and that doesnt include yet the other times and places when and where we also are "asked" or "need" to move, dance, and generally perform for our academic grades, co-curricular and/or extra-curricular school or school-related activities and programs, or other school or school-related activities, programs, events, celebrations, occassions, or holidays, like school feasts/fiestas/festivals, fairs, parades, parties, camps or campings, workshops, seminars, intramurals or sports day/days/week, foundation day, family day, teachers' day, and the like. Also, this doesn't end in high school or secondary school, because Physical Education is also a mandatory or compulsory course or coirse subject for all undergraduate, bachelor, or baccalaureate degrees in colleges, universities, and other higher educational institutions throughout the Philippines. It's a total of 8 units of 4 semesters of physical education with 2 units each seemster, and one of the semester course or course subject focuses on rhythmic activities and dances. Dancing and generally performing for our academic grades, co-curricular and/or extra-curricular school or school-related activities and programs, or other school or school-related activities, programs, events, celebrations, occassions, or holidays are also exisitng in colleges, universities, and other higher educational institutions throughout the Philippines. These dancing and generally performing even extends into the world of work, mostly depending on the more specific career, industry, profession, vocation, or job one is in.

[@aleanahsacar4214]

Schools in the Philippines have Foundation Days. All grades perform en masse, I remember doing baton twirling, folk dance and modern dance. That's every year. And of course there's singing contests especially during Linggo ng Wika where Tagalog songs reign supreme. PE in elementary includes learning folk dances. In college there's also dancing for PE. I used to think that it's normal all over the world, but I guess it isn't.

[@hw3874]

That’s right! I almost forgot about that! They should check out FOUNDATION DAY videos!

[@gerrydelacruz8081]

We always look up on the ways kids and adults should be learning. You are right that people who are so serious and calm should also dance and sing, or enjoyable actitvities at schools, because when they finish and start to work, they can apply these activities in their lives, especially now that some work/jobs are confined in one corner.

[@artesiningart4961]

3:03 Ah, those times when we move our school armchairs to turn our classroom space into a thrust/platform/open stage-like space to practice, rehearse, and then later on or soon perform our skits, roleplays, dances, dance exercise or Zumba dance, and/or short musical plays in Music, Arts, Physical Education, and Health, and also in Filipino (Filipino Language and Literature), English (English Language and Literature), Araling Panlipunan (Social Studies), and Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao/Pagpapahalaga (Character/Values Education) school subjects, and sometimes even in Science school subject.

[@reactorsub5708]

I dont know if field demo is still a thing today, but in my school days, we have an event where the entire school have to dance at the whole field, and we will practice many times before. I happen to be one of those who will go to all the classrooms and teach everyone the dance steps.. What a fun memory. And its just now that i realized that we are very fortunate to be raised in a place where you can dance sing perform without any hesitations or feeling akward. Because people will love it if you do that here.

[@joelvillanueva3107]

6:55 the dance was called budots...a dance originate in Phillipines in Davao to be exact😂😂😂😂 it was a crazy and funny dance but it is famous to the other country when a filipino group came out in dance competition out sde the Philippines and win thrue that competition...and they dance budots has been goes viral

[@MaleneMitra]

Try the inmates of Cebu dancing Michael Jackson song and others songs

[@rinotilde2699]

Yeah, we had events in schools where everyone had to dance and or sing, from primary school onwards. I had folk dance and social dance both in high school and university, nor because I wanted them but they were part of the Physical Education curriculum.

[@agatonicaararacap4917]

This is daily performance in the Philippines after daily flag ceremony,and to have some kinds of awakening activities before the usual subjects.If some pupils or students are sleepy,they will be awake. I remembered that from my primary school,now Im soon 66 yrs old and still remmbered everything.

[@PrinsipeCD]

Yasss! Our PE (Physical Education) grade depends on our performance hahaha.. *Freshmen- Physical Fitness *Sophomore- Sports (Individual games) *Junior- Sports (Team games) *Senior- Dancing (Modern and Cultural/Traditional)

[@Ava_Bellicent]

Oh yeah, i remembered my school days we do it every morning for our morning exercise and that’s besides the real dancing class when you join the dance club

[@MaxMerrier]

We also have gardening and cooking during elementary days! Hahaha i used to bring a type of banana for the “binignit” dish merienda! Hahaha

[@jessicabuligan8556]

I i really really love @waleska dear u cant resist dancing while sitting🤣🤣🤣

[@arocampo239]

We even have dancing in conferences and workshops..because there is always time allotted for an "energizer" - complete with a video guide.

[@TheOnlyJoTobias]

You are just sooo adorable, Waleska!!

[@florinag7799]

Yup, my whole school life we take some time to do this enjoyable event. It's not everyday mind you, but only when there's something to celebrate. Atleast once a week

[@sweetmeloday5935]

It's not only on P.E class, there's also school events and competitions all year round, which is sort of a requirement since it often ends up being a whole class presentation for events as well. I think we've done a few folk dances like Tinikling, Pandango sa ilaw, Kambuyang and others. We also do dance performances depending on the country we were given for International day too.

[@ms.kcuesta9730]

0:35 Waleska: "They're Dancing like their life depends on this" Me: I was falling my college subjects and to max my chance of passing, i joined every extra curricular activity those subjects have. And mind you, if there is a contest, winners gets higher bonus points than other participants. So Yes Wale, I will dance/sing/act/run/jump like my life depends on it. Because it literally does 🤣🤣🤣 PS: Talking about my own personal experience here. I'm not just sure if other schools/country allows extra curricular activities to affect your grade ratings.

[@ZENKI07]

Im a Filipino as well and when I was in elementary all the way to high school, everyday during our flag ceremony in the morning, every student are im the school ground and we do our prayers, then the national anthem and oath, then we sing one song all together and the finale will be an exercise or a simple dance routine led by a different class each week. I always thought that was normal everywhere. lol

[@samueldaffon7927]

way back in 1970s, in my elementary days the whole pupils perform Calisthenics and dance after every Flag ceremonies in the morning before going to our classrooms... 🤗🇯🇵🇵🇭

[@MARYANNSANCHEZ-es2lq]

[@AbhieCorpuz]

Actually at school we do acting, singing, dancing and do arts too😄😄😄

[@marwellstaana9962]

In every school each grade level and section always starts with what we called "Energizer" either a song to sing, or dance so we can start the class with boost energy and shake the boredom or sleeping blood within

[@zhyrox-b9d]

i personally experience this kind of scene here in Philippines... there's a person who will be a leader then perform it then everyone will follow that lead there's no need to choreograph just flex your body it is like an exercise after an flag ceremony for us

[@dream-eem]

if you want more videos like this, search "field demo". our school has it every other year to celebrate foundation day. each grade level (around 180 students each level) performs a different routine. we also perform it again during family day. practice may be tiring but very very fun!! i miss high school T-T

[@LilibethRapal]

Those are before we starts our classes. Or we are bored and sleepy. Our teachers well let us stand and do some excercise. And ofcourse! We used those trending songs ,famous songs so everyone knows the steps . No need to practice hahahaha

[@JHEN_21]

Thats normal in the Philippines. Like in my kid's school, they have special program for arts class where the students can choose what they want to learn, they can choose from dancing, singing, playing instruments, media arts and visual arts. Everyday the school allowed them to go to their art class 2 hrs everyday. And at the end of the school year, the school will held a recital for those who takes singing dancing and playing instruments and an exhibit for those who choose to learn visual and media arts.

[@rarzgk2410]

Filipinos love to sing and dance from elementary to college to the workforce and when we retire we go to the park and do zumba😆

[@CherrySodaPoplike]

Our projects were designed to be creative theater type... pretend to be a newscaster to present data, present through your favorite soap op. or commercial. Our PE was dancing at some part of the yeae, we had dance and singing class contests thhat fosters bonding, communication, cooperation. Thats how we learned. Its Fun in the Ph!

[@eldyvalmoria6200]

At schools, we're taught to sing and dance. At home, we're enourage to sing and dance by our family. At work, we are obliged to perform singing and dancing. And all ocations, at church, birthdays to funerals. Even on days doing nothing, we sing or dance. I realized that it's not common in other conutries when I worked overseas.

[@positivebreadtv6235]

I remember when I was young, I love singing coz everyone in my family sings. But they don't point out that I'm out of tune (which I was). It was only until I was in elementary that someone pointed that out AFTER I joined a singing contest. LOL! But that didn't discourage me coz nobody here ever discourages anyone from singing. Instead, I joined a school choir. That's how I learned how to sing properly. Free training!!! 😆 I was a member until college and eventually I got good at it.

After the flag ceremony of course. Singing hospital jingle also. Every hospital anniversary, christmas party, nurses week, medicine week. Look forward to talents all around. 😂

[@joergeabanador2423]

...not only in school...on December 4 our company will have Christmas party and every department are preparing for a dance performance for a competition...and for sure some will be called in front to sing...

[@leyloplayz]

That is why almost all of us are talented cause we are trained from Pre-school to sing and dance, memorize and recite a poem or stories. No one is exempted you need to comply as the teacher gonna encourage you and get mad if you dont comply 😂

[@aichan7798]

That's not just in schools. Even at work, we are required to perform (I'm in health care). When I was in med and residency training we even have JFTs (just for tonight) where every department needs to perform

When Michael passed away, his long time choreographer and dancer remembered how Michael loved it so they went to the Philippines and performed with them. The choreographer was even interviewed in CNN about it. Here's their performance of They Don't Care About Us. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3zXlYeAhcR6i6s

I grew up before the internet and Believe it or this is common even before tiktok.

Even big companies do stuff like this during Christmas season. And mind you, it is a competition among employees with cash prizes at stake.

[@thedapilar-pineda6239]

Yes, if you grew up in the Philippines, you have to go through at least 1competition in your life. There's no option and because that's normal for us, even if we're not great singers and dancers you can perform to save your life. LOL
