Kasadyahan Sa Kapatagan Suite. This program includes the
merriment of the rural folks in celebration of various Christian fiestas through songs and dances. This picture was taken
on stage at the Clamshell in Intramuros, Manila, during the WOW Philippines "Festival of Festivals" last May, 2003. MKD attracted
packed-crowds during performances that urged the Hon. Richard B. Gordon, Secretary of Tourism, to extend the
group's stay in Manila from one week to two months. Shown in photo is the "Lapay Bantigue" a dance imitating the courtship
of the seagulls.
Al'mugan.
A contemporary dance piece based on the folk myth/legend of the Al'mugan bird of the B'laan tribe of South Cotabato. Revered
by the tribe as the Bird of Knowledge, the dance depicts the struggle and survival of the tribe in search for knowledge.
