Sublian
Sublian
This is a ritual dance that originated from Bauan, Batangas in Luzon, Philippines. The word sublian comes from the word subsub which means falling head on and bali which means broken. The word describes the dancers who pretend to be lame and crooked throughout the dance as a sign of worship to the town's Church icon, the Holy Cross during its fiesta celebration.
