Ragsaksakan Dance

Ragsaksakan means “Merriment”. This dance portrays the walk of the industrious Kalingga women, carrying water pots on their heads and wearing the colorful hand-woven "blankets of life" around their necks. Their walk imitates the climb up the Rice Terraces in the Mountain Provinces of the Philippines.
This dance would be performed after a successful headhunt Some versions of this dance use the "Banga" instead of the basket.
