I think this was Singkil re-interpreted. I loved the entire show especially the men's number; it looked like a new dance to me. The only minor issue I have was the Singkil's ending; it was shaky! Thus, to me it did not look spectacular. I think the dance company decided against having the princess enter the stage atop the bamboo poles while carried by the men. However, they should have at least done that part while exiting, i.e., let the princess perch on the poles then whisked away while the entire entourage was following her.

Singkil?

Very familiar choreography and steps and costuming and music too‼️ Girls lacked the Filipina finesse in dancing.
