Not gatekeeping Northern Mindanao Culture but.... the costume is devoid of the vibrant traditional Higaonon tribe colors and adornments. The choreography is too stiff and methodical... Its supposed to be a celebratory communal dance. Some Mindanaoan dances are for aristocratic daughters so they are supposed to be proud, noble, and looking down on the admiring peasants through their chins up in the air but not this one. The Agong part sounds like the accompaniment to Singkil which is totally not Higaonon and totally unecessary.. Nice effort though..😊
