Tayaw: the Flying Bird Dance of Native Highlands

Like a flying bird they swayed 
To the flow of a beating gong 
Like two little kids that played 
To the sound of a native song 

All the others came to dance 
Flock of birds; flew high and low 
They soared together, all at once 
They all let their feelings flow

Wow! Thanks for sharing this. Being an Igorota, I love watching this during cañao. We do such with victorious gladness. God bless you.

Thank you very much Kabayan... I'll be doing more exponents of the highlands if time allows...
