Rice in the Philippines Dance dates back eons ago. It is part of Philippine culture from up North to down South both as life source and as a central feature in rituals – from birth to death, and to propitiate the gods.

Our indigenous people have kept their ethnic art form free from foreign influences, thereby preserving the rich, autochthonous character of the dances interwoven with our main staple – rice.
