Background:
Lingayen in Pangasinan means having to look backward and upward. It was
derived from “Li-King-Tung”, a Chinese word given to the name Lingayen, the
capital of Pangasinan, by the Chinese settlers of this place a long time ago.
The barrio folks who lived at Almazin, a small place between barrio
Pangasinan (Pulong) and Maniboc danced this to commemorate the stay of
Limahong, a Chinese pirate who built his kingdom here.
The dancers look backward or upward in some of the movements; hence, the
name Lingayen. They also use two sticks to produce rhythms imitating the
chopsticks
used by the Chinese in eating, so the dance is also called Binislakan, which in
Pangasinan means, with the use of sticks.

boys and girls accompanied by their elders would go to the lowlands,
especially in Abra and Ilocos Norte to dance in front of the houses and ask for
gifts. These young children hold sticks, one on each hand and strike them
together to make their dance livelier. The homes would give them money,
homemade delicacies and other things. These dancing groups later reached
as far as the coastal towns of Ilocos region as years went by. The rhythmic
sounds produced by the stick attracted other children and also adults and
