Binatbatan Occupational Folk Dance | Ilocano Cultural Dance Heritage [Ilocos Norte Philippines]

Philippine Folk Dances Volume VI by Francisca Reyes Aquino Filmed at La Tabacalera de Currimao and Malacanang of the North. Binatbatan is an occupational dance from Paoay. The dance depicts the beating of cotton pods to separate the seeds from the fibers with the use of two sticks called batbat. To process the raw material used in weaving, ginne cotton was beaten with a pair of sticks sounding a clear and distinct rhythm on a carabao hide to separate fiber strands. The people of Paoay are known for their fabled skill in weaving a heritage cloth called abel. Oftentimes, weavers engage in a contest as to who could finish first and could produce cleaner and more fibers. The celebration of loom-weaving features Ilocos Norte’s mythic woven designs out of raw bright cotton threads. It is not only a manifestation of our people’s industriousness but also our weavers’ artistic consciousness and mastery of cultural knowledge. When weavers wish to have a merrymaking, they sing and use the batbat in a dance. They prance between and out of parallel sticks without stepping on them, showing their expertise, ingenuity, and brilliance. The tempo of the beating and the rhythmic resonance produced by sticks make the dance festive, vibrant, and zestful. Over the years, the Binatbatan has been one of the province’s amalgams, connecting every Ilokano to our cultural roots through our diligence in labor, prolific narratives, and fondness of revelry.

Am glad the dancers are smiling! They should look like they are enjoying what they are doing. Imagine dancing with a frown. T''would appear they are being tortured. SMILE - something that some folk dancers miss out on big time! Well performed! Brilliant performance!

Tartan-like patterns are also very common in Philippine indigenous textiles. And wearing Burberry is not stealing culture.
