Sagayan Festival
Sagayan Festival is a cultural event showcasing the colorful costumes of the women in the province of Lanao del Norte.
It is a ethnic dance Sagayan which is performed by “warriors” clad in
three-tiered skirts, brightly-coloured headgear and carrying elaborately
painted shields and “kampilan”, a double-bladed sword. The dance
involves leaping, turning, jumping, kicking and the rolling movements of
a warrior ready to defend his master in battle. The "warriors" move in a
magic-like trance and they believed that the motions drive away evil
spirits while welcoming good fortune.
