To reflect the multi-faceted character of a nation composed of over seven thousan islands, the rural suite is a lively potpourri of dances brought together from the different regions of the Philippines. Mainly present in the rural Christian lowlands, the rural dances express the people's joys in work, love for music, gratitude for a good harvest, or simply an appreciation for a beautiful day. Many dances also imitate the movements of nature or articles used in everyday life. The rural dances are performed at local barrio fiestas for simple pleasure or to mark a special occasion. Typical attire in the rural suite consists of the colorful balintawak and patadyong skirts for the women and camiso de chino and colorful trousers for the men.
