Surtido Boronganon

Surtido Boronganon is a version of the surtido that came from the town of Borongan, the cabecera of the Eastern Samar province. Similar to other 'assorted' dances, this dance portrays the favorite folk and traditional dances from the town. Each figure is unique because it is in itself a dance. At least five of the favorite dances are strung together to have the Surtido Boronganon. The music is similarly exciting and diverse. The tempo changes from lively and sprightly 2/4 music to lively Waray melodies in 3/4 time.

The dance can feature any of the following dances like the ever favorite Kuratsa Menor; the religious dance Gozos; Borongan's version of dove-dance, the Alimukon or Salampati; the wedding dance Melendres danced to the folksong Adios na Nanay ug Tatay; the Kuradang, the courtship dance Linggawen where women sway red scarves; the butterfly dance Ay, ay Alibangbang and the Boronganon quadrille or Ay! Borongan. The Ay! Borongan is usually performed last as a salute to the town. The Ay!Borongan song is the town's anthem.
