- Indigenous Philippine folklore is characterized by sacred rituals and practices, and made more fervent and vibrant by the music that accompanies them.
- In Mindanao, the sounds of the agum and guimbao signal the assembly of the participants in the performance of sacrifices by indigenous groups. The miminsad, a dance song, is also chanted as they walk before the altar.
- The wedding feast is another occasion where music plays a key role. Some Muslim groups play music using small and large kettledrums as accompaniment to dancing, one of the highlights of the celebration.
- In Jolo, the sua-sua is a celebrated courtship song and dance that has often been modernized for troupe performances.
- A war dance in Bukidnon called the sagayan epitomizes the gallantry of Muslim combatants while little girls perform a festival dance wherein they wear hollow copper anklets and ring little cells to produce certain sounds “to the accompaniment of a variety of tom-tom and an indigenous xylophone.” (Bañas 1975).
- In Agusan, the tud-ob, a song composed of four notes, is sung during rice harvests. In Sulu, four gongs are used to produce a kind of music called the tagungo.
- Mindanao folk music includes the ancient Muslim folk song and dance called estijaro, and a Mindanao folk song called uruyan. These are usually accompanied by drums, gongs, or other percussion instruments like the subing, a gong.
