TIKLOS

Tiklos (also called “pintakasi”) is the Waray


equivalent to the “bayanihan”. It refers to a group of
peasants who agree to work each other one day each
week to clear the forest, prepare the soil for planting, or
do any odd job on the farm including the building of a
house. At noontime the people gather to eat their lunch
together and to rest. During this period, Tiklos music is
being played with the flute accompanied with a guitar and
the guimbal or the tambora. The music of Tiklos is also
played to gather the peasants before they start out for work.

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.
