Maglalatik (Magbabao) Composer: Dr. Francisco Santiago Laud Cover With Guitar Chords, Notes and Tabs. Arranged for Rondalla Ensemble WATCH FULL VIDEO DOWNLOAD TABS DOWNLOAD FULL SCORE Maglalatik (also called Magbabao) originated in Binan, Laguna. Maglalatik depicts a fight between the Moros and the Christians over the latik (reduction left after the coconut milk has been boiled). The first two parts of the dance, the Palipasan and the Baligtaran, show the heated encounter between the two groups. The last two parts, the Paseo and the Sayaw Escaramusa, show their reconciliation. Those who represent the Moros wear red trousers and those who represent the Christians wear blue trousers. Circular coconut shells are attached to each dancer's back at the waist, and to their breasts and knees. Dancers also hold triangular formed coconut shells in each hand. They perform the dance as an offering to the patron saint of farmers, San Isidro de Labrador.
