Creative activities such as; painting, music, literature and dance are needed for a person's development. They also help us to release our minds from the pressures created by the demanding world. Art plays a significant role in the lives of the Filipinos. The pursuit of enjoying our lives despite hardship is considered leisure activity. It has been misconstrued as superficial. And because of this our character is misinterpreted as more likely living for the moment. But the truth is we must fully understand that we are not in control of our lives. And must learn how to accept our destiny gracefully.
Singkil
Singkil is one variant of a Philippine National dance called the Tinikling.
