Best Answer

The Singkíl originated from the Maranao people who inhabit the shores of Lake Lanao. It is derived from a story in the Darangen, the Maranao interpretation of the ancient Indian epic, the Ramayana. The name of the dance itself means "to entangle the feet with disturbing objects such as vines or anything in your path". It is a popular dance performed during celebrations and other festive entertainment. Originally only women, particularly royalty, danced the Singkíl, which serves as either a conscious or unconscious advertisement to potential suitors.

--well it is not the Indians who really brought it here but I think it is the Indonesians, who already have their own version of the Ramayana before bringing it here.

Condition of Filipinos during the spanish era?

Most of the Filipinos were disenfranchised during the Spanish colonization. This is because many Filipinos were struggling fishermen and farmers. While the initial goal was to colonize and help the Filipinos secure a financial advantage via trade and commerce, the Spanish seemed more interested in expanding their empire. As a result, the wealthy and privileged Filipinos prospered under Spanish rule, while the majority of the country barely made it by. The condition of Filipinos, however, would get better as the Spanish became more understanding about the plight of the people.
