BAYANIHAN, the National Folk Dance Company of the Philippines will be performing at the UC Davis Mondavi Center, Oct 1, 2010
“Bayanihan, the National Folk Dance Company of the Philippines, takes its name from an ancient Filipino tradition called bayanihan, which means working together for a common good. Featuring lush costumes, traditional music, and fascinating choreography, the company, considered a national treasure in the Philippines, presents a visually stunning evening of enriching entertainment.”
The Filipino-American Community couldn’t be happier to learn that Bayanihan is coming
to perform this October 1st at the UC Davis Mondavi Center. As Rob Tocalino, Director
of Marketing, UC Davis Mondavi Center had mentioned, because of the vast number of
performers that come to Mondavi from all over the world, the likely occurrence of a group
even as prominent as Bayanihan to perform is still more or less once in four years.
Definitely, this is not one event that I would want to miss!
“The Robert and Margrit Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts, now in its seventh season,
is UC Davis’ world-class performing arts facility. It is the premier performance venue
in Northern California and the regional destination for the best in classical music, dance,
distinguished speakers, jazz, theatre, and world music. The Mondavi Center explores the
full range of the performing arts, from the traditional to the innovative, and from diverse
cultures and disciplines through presentation, education, public service, and research. The

Bayanihan was founded by Dr. Helena Z. Benitez in 1959. Walter Terry of the New York
Herald Tribune described Bayanihan as an ethnic dance culture which has gone beyond
simple preservation and into creative growth. Bayanihan has traveled all over the world to
share the Philippine Folk Culture and has created an audience globally.--MaG
