of a number of medium-sized gongs called mamalala; a number of small, high-pitched, and shallow gongs
called pong; one or more tambor (snare drums); and one or more garagara or panda’opan (cymbals), oof
which are either of Chinese or European origin.

Tagongko is played during ceremonies such as sending off or welcoming dignitaries, honorific serving of
betelquid, and wedding celebrations. Tagongko players are positioned at the head of the parade either on
foot or aboard a vehicle or motorboat. The Tagongko is also played in ceremonies called “kalilang sa
tong” to appeal to the spirits for a bountiful harvest or for a rich catch of fish.

harana of the tagalogs, where a group of young bachelors would come
to a maiden’s house and play their music by the window. In return, the
house occupants would then invite the serenaders into the house and in
the process if merrymaking, some courtship could take place among the
young ones.
