I'm so glad that the Fil-Am Student Association at different Universities in the whole U.S.A are proudly loving and embracing their Pilipino roots, heritage and culture. I know that here in California Pilipino Student Association within the UC system are also engage in cultural presentation and friendly competition.

Amazing Filipino culture brought to America (Igorot dance)am proud of you all.

Am so proud of ALL the participants and especially to the students from Illinois University who won in that Bamboo Competition and to a great performance as well by Chicago University Students. Awesome performances. But on top of it ALL, they are all winners and did an outstanding and powerful performances. Though it's only in the last part that I saw their facial expressions. Ultimately, they are amazing Fil-Am Students and am proud and thankful that they display and showed Filipino culture especially the tribal communities their dance and the traditional war dance. Basta thank you very much for this Beautiful and incredibly heartwarming performance. Thank you very much!

You all made me proud and also brought tears to my eyes. Maraming salamat at Mabuhay!

One of the best performances I've seen this year. I genuinely love it.

An Ifugao ethnic dance is one of the best ethnic dance from the Philippines actually. I have watched different versions of these dance and it never disappoints me. Love it,,

our native land continues to promote our culture, traditions and most of all the hospitality created by the beat of those feets and hand, suprb cheorography, most talented filipinos keep it up and more power to you all, MABUHAY PILIPINAS

Quite a euphoric atmospher and feeling of a local Pilipino cultural dance being performed by foreign students, what a nice way of giving tribute to the culture !

It's good to hear that the audience is enjoying the cultural dance. Loved it!

I missed my friend from Baguio love your cultures respectfully with fashion

The artistry, talent and work done on these performances are just spectacular! Makes me proud to be a Filipino.

University of Chicago killed it.. I mean the synchronizations of hands, gestures, feet, and props was presented really well.. And what I love the most is, University of Chicago ends the performance very strong.. Well done both universities..

Confusing, but beautiful. Sounds from the south, with northern aesthetics, and the concept of female warriors of the central Philippines. A disclaimer could have been nice. It took me a while to appreciate the performance for what it actually is, an amalgamation of a lot of the Filipino cultures and taking a lot of creative freedom in the conceptualization and choreography.

Igorot dance have their own version of a metal percussion that looks like an oversized version of the South hence the similarity in the sound. The beat is also similar which is very common in different tribal community. Mind you the beat and the percussions is also quite similar to the North American Indians.

Thank you for showing the culture of the Philippines worldwide. Thanks fr. Manila.

FILIPINO MEN SURE CAN DANCE AND 🎭PERFORM ! Hi from 🇺🇸

magnificent! Favorites: The Shaman figure who resurrected the lead female warrior. He was just stellar! Also: the hand movements with the sharp right angles.... I LOVED those!! Thank you to all the dancers, choreographer(s) and costumers & all who made this work.

OUR FILIPINO DANCE PERFORMANED BY FOREIGN STUDENTS IS AMAZING!!!!

Thank you for this video and God bless everyone especially the performers who gave their best in this video! #LoveIT

Woww! Amazing... kudos to the performers and to those behind this competition! For me you are all winners! 👏👏👏

I really like best the dance cultural interpretation of the two universities, the message is too clear and the execution is awesome. Well done and KUDOS!

Wow, well it is not purely Ifugao and the instruments too but the substance is there. Congratulations for the presentation

Nice. It's really to share our cultures to other nationalities. Keep up the good work mga kababayan!

Aside from the flawless execution of fje dances, I love how the stories were woven in the series of dances. 👏👏👏💯

Nice ....proud of you guys...keep it up...proud to be pinoy....gd luck..GOD BLESS

Wow! What a choreography and performance. Congratulations! Proud Pinoy here.👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🇵🇭

I had 4 years of PhD studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign. We never had such cultural activity like this! Superb!

I love your channel featuring performances of Filipino choirs and dances on the international stage. It is wonderful that they are shared here online because they are rarely seen. Certainly a source of Filipino pride. Just a little tweaking though is needed for the title of this specific post. It should be 'Loyola University of Chicago' and not 'U Chicago.' 'U Chicago' refers to The University of Chicago. Loyola University of Chicago and The University of Chicago are different universities. To be precise, the competitors were University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (there are two other University of Illinois campuses besides Urbana-Champaign) vs. Loyola University of Chicago. Sorry, I didn't mean to be picky. :-) I just happen to be familiar with these three universities. Please continue posting content like this!!

Thank you Chicago and Illinois. I love it. 💛🙏🌞🇵🇭

FANTASTIC, SALAMAT SA MGA PERFORMERS AND UP-LOADER!

Lovely to be seen our culture and tradition esp in the form of dance art,the choreography,style is amazing continued to install as part of thre activities on campus..

Wow.. All of you had a good job. .Congratulations ...

Very nice 👍 I remember when I was in high school I was in the dance troop too. I had so much fun 🤩 These groups are good and the choreography is so amazing 🤩

According to their FB page, Battle of the Bamboo is a cultural dance competition showcasing traditional Filipino folk dance. With the amount of liberties these students take, it should be called a cultural dance fusion competition showcasing inspired bits and pieces from traditional kinda Filipino sorta folk dance.That way, at least it would be clear and no one would get offended.

Omg that was so amazing! And very Beautiful. I loved it. These people deserve a lot of good things.

Felt proud watching this…this also reminds me of Haka Dance of the Polynesians

In the Philippines, we use to call our Wives "Commander" because we love then very dearly and fighting with men & women are not our culture. Just saying. Kudos to these students, I love it.

amazing n so entertaining! love it!!!!

Wow!!!! There should be an international competition where all nations can showcase their cultural war dance (just like the olympic of cultural war dance).

Excellent!!!!!! Thank you “ABBA..YAHUAH YAH Bless

Wow am impressed,..they got it nice they nailed it!!!... well done my fellow filAm❤❤❤

Nice fusion of music of the southern Philippines, dance and costume from the north.

Who else watch it through yuotube reccomendation? Btw, Im so honored and proud to see the performance

I love the last song.. You're My Inspiration 💗🥰

I can't wait for this pandemic to be over so we can have choral competitions again.

Excellent! Thank you amazing and breathtaking beautiful.

Win or lose you guys made us all proud!

The best native dance & the best warrior/ I missed my friend in Baguio

Infairness the dance so well of the Filipino-cultured and lifestyle dance. Very impressive

Nailed it...... very impressive performance from a foreign ground.......

I like the first one more. The story telling through dance was so clear

Breathtakingly beautiful.

I wonder if there's closeup version of the video, I would like to see the costumes in more details , as well as the facial expressions 👍

I had goosebumps. Nakaka proud 🥲

Proud Filipino…..from the philippines!

Wow🇵🇭, Beautiful. 💛🙏🌞🌞🌞

Wow beautiful ❤️ from Phillipines

Kelan po ito naganap? Di ba may Covid19 pa at mga variants. Di cla takot magka Covid? O matagal na itong performances nila?

Ang ganda! Very entertaining!

God bless the Philippines!

Their dances are inspired in the Philippines. They can use moro moro dance as a fight dance

I think it inevitable that Filipino Americans will start making their own twist to Filipino dances. They might all together cast off the colonial dances as to them it’s more like Mexican or Central American rather than truly Filipino. Only time will tell.

@@tatumergo3931 When the broader society (America) keeps telling you you’re Asian and then you dance colonial dances, you feel like a copy cat. And because Fil-Ams have very little hint of colonial mentality, they tend to seek out the more “authentic” Filipino roots. I think this is shown by the popularity of Ifugao tattooing among them. There are societies (clubs) that promote these tattoos aligning themselves with Polynesians and building connections with these communities. Filipinos in the Philippines probably don’t understand these connections as well as they don’t Interact with Polynesians as much.

Good job..beautiful

Thank you. Amazing.

Amazing! ❤️👌

IF YOU DANCE CULTURAL DANCE,You Dance only from your Culture do not mix because your Ancestor will get Angry.Respect them.

Hoping that cultural performances be required for all junior & senior highs in the Philippines.

Amazing cultural dance.

The story telling is soooo good for the 1st group.

A bit of vocabs one might want to google: Kalasag - shield Gayang - spear Buneng - bolo Wasay - axe Solibao - elongated drum Gansa - gong Etc. 😅

That sound, the first one, it's like the dipdipu of the Ifugaos. Cordillera Administrative Region.

It reminds me of our recital night and day. We have to dance 20 ethnic group ritual for 8 hours it was a torture.

The thumbnail brought me here.

Beautiful!

Great performance.

Mabuhay Pilipinas!

Kudos to all!

when was this perform? kindly reply me please for my report in school.

So its a dance drama what a nice performance

best choreography by far..

Congratulations to LUC! Although I'm an alumnus of U of I U-C.

Love it!

Awesome thanks!

Philippines left the earth...

Combination of kalinga and ifugao dance,,,, I'm fr.kalinga ,,galing niyo.

That was so intense performance!

The presentation is kinda confusing. A mixed/fusion of the north and the south. Intriguing interpretation. Nonetheless, it was a nice presentation.
