TIKLOS
Tiklos (also called "pintakasi") is the Waray equivalent to the "bayanihan". Groups of people work for somebody without hoping for anything in return.
They work odd jobs like clearing forests, digging the earth for wells, moving a nipa hut to a new location or even building a house! In all these for free. Of course grateful benefactors would offer drinks and food; but it is not always expected.
During breaks these people dance the tiklos accompanied by the subing (plawta), gimbal and tambora drums or when available, the "sista". The Tiklos music is also played to call them back to work.
