    "Balangbang requires the participation of many to beat the gongs and many women
    dancers. This originated from the western municipalities of Mountain Province
    (Besao, Sagada, Tadian, Bauko, Sabangan) but performed anywhere. Its version in
    eastern Mountain Province is the 'pattong'.

    "The male gong players could be five or more and the female dancers could range
    from a single dancer to more than 10. It is a dance appropriate for mass
    participation. The male gong players move in a circular direction as they synchronize
    their artistic graceful steps and body swaying. The women dancers follow as they
    dance with the appropriate step, body swaying and arm position depending on the
    art and style of the music players."
