The Philippino loincloth has an apron front and there is a loop at the rear that hangs down.
The male dancers are often playing drums or gongs, a group of them building a complex rythm while they dance.
Young women join the dance wearing sarongs and shirts.
Some of the more inexperienced young men wear briefs under their loincloths but give them up as they become more experienced and confident.
It is an expression of youth and masculinity without being indecent.
Go onto YouTube and search Philippino dancing if it doesn't pop up on it's own in the shorts.
