Panulo
 the Panulo, which literally means fishing at sea in the night with only the
petroleum gas as light This dance offers wholesome enjoyment to the barrio
folks of Cadiz, Negros Occidental after an abundant catch during fine
weather. Similarly, the An Labasero (fresh fish-vendor) of Catbalogan, Samar
depicts the simple fisher folk who, after vending fish, merrily dances on his
way home together with his friends and neighbors. Like the dance An
Labasero, the Rigatones (fish vendor) shows a livelihood dance where a
fisherman celebrates his  good sales by dancing and drinking. Salat ti
Alat (fish container) also shows a dance after a successful fishing expedition.
The people from Zambales also perform this dance. The Mananagat on the
other hand, mimics fish catching and gathering. Performed by the Cebuano,
this dance pictures men holding their paddles while women scoop water out of
the banca. Apart from catching fish, there are also dances while drying
fish. Pamulad Isda is the fish-drying dance of Negros done during summer
when fish abound.
