TIKLOS

Tiklos is a Waray tradition similar to bayanihan where groups work together for community members without expecting payment in return, doing tasks like clearing forests, digging wells, and building houses. Early in the morning, a leader plays drums to call peasants, who then march together to work in the fields led by a band playing bamboo flutes, small drums, and other instruments. During breaks, the peasants enjoy wine and dance the Tiklos dance accompanied by the music. The dance and music are also used to call the peasants back to work.

TIKLOS

Tiklos (also called “pintakasi”) is the Waray equivalent to the “bayanihan”. Groups
of people work for somebody without hoping for anything in return. They work
odd jobs like clearing forests, digging the earth for wells, moving a nipa hut to a
new location or even building a house! In all these for free. Of course grateful
benefactors would offer drinks and food; but it is not always expected. The
peasants cooperate for the social and economic progress of their community.

The Tiklos is a native peasant dance of Leyte. Very early in the morning, the leader
of the tiklos beats the tambora, a kind of drum made from a hollow trunk of a tree
with a carabao hide head. Next comes sounds of the subing (bamboo flutes) and
the guimbal-a small snare drum with a head of a parchment made from the skin of
a wildcat.

The peasants come out with grass hooks, bols and other garden tools and farm
implements. Led by the band, they march together to work in the fields. During
breaks the peasants enjoy themselves with tuba (a native wine) and the rest dance
the tiklos accompanied by the subing (plawta), guimbal and tambora drums or
when available, the “sista” played by the band. The Tiklos music is also played to
call them back to work
