Pandanggo Sa Ilaw is a popular dance of grace and balance from Lubang Island, Mindoro Occidental in the Visayas region. This particular pandanggo requires skill in balancing three lighted oil lamps or Tinghoy candles, one on the head and at the palms of each hand. It is characterized by marking time with a clack of castanets, snapping of fingers, clapping and lively steps that varies rhythmically in 3/4 time. The lighting of the lamps represents fireflies fluttering at dusk.

"Like blinking fireflies, some marine clouds 'communicate' with each other, forming, raining, and re-forming in unison. These honeycomb-like clouds reorganize themselves in a synchronized cycle." — MochaJuden
