INTRODUCTION
The Visayan Region is one of the most beautiful regions to visit in
the Philippines. It is situated between the islands of Luzon and
Mindanao. The well-known provinces in this region include Iloilo,
Cebu, Negros Occidental and Oriental, Samar, Leyte and Bohol.
The islands are the first places to be explored by the European
Explorer Ferdinand Magellan, who arrived at the island of
Samar on March 16, 1521. This led to their culture, and in turn
their music, be heavily influenced by Spanish Culture. Their
immediate acceptance of the foreign culture and religion greatly
modified the culture and the islands from tribal to European,
which can be noticeable in their music.
