Answer:
1. Binislakan
Binislakan (Bee-neehs-lah-KAHN) is a peculiar and very colorfol dance from the province of Pangasinan in the island of Luzon, Philippines. "Binislakan" in the Pangasinan dialect means "with the use of chopsticks." The dancers hold two sticks, one in each hand, with which they produce rhythmic effects. The folks in the village of almazin perform this dance to commemorate the settlement of the chinese and of limahong, a powerful chinese pirate who built his kingdom there.
2.Sakuting
Sakuting (pronounced seh-KOOH-tihng) comes from the province of Abra, home to the Ilocano people native to the lowlands and the Tingguian mountain tribes. The Spanish established a garrison to protect Ilocanos who converted to Christianity, and their capital city, Bangued, from raids by the mountain tribes. Introduced by Spanish missionaries as religious ritual, the sakuting dance portrays this struggle between the lowland Christians and the non-Christian mountain people. Sakuting’s origins, however, appear much older.
The sakuting dance, originally performed solely by boys, portrays a mock fight using sticks. A sakuting stick is striped or bamboo and is about 1½ feet long and tapered at the end, like a candle. Its original use was for combat training. During the playful folk dance, two teams, one representing each side, circle and clash bamboo sticks in a gentle imitation of martial arts sparring. Its dance form is the comedia (a theatrical dance, also called moro-moro) and features a battalla (choreographed skirmish).
