Subli
From the province of Batangas comes the ancient dance, originally performed in veneration of the holy cross of Alitagtag, referred to in the vernacular as "Mahal na Poong Santa Cruz". The word subli is derived from two Tagalog words, subsub (stooped) and Bali (broken). Hence the men are stooped throughout the dance and appear to be lame and crooked, while the women dance with hats.
