Abstract
The preservation and promotion of the Indigenous communities' cultural heritage have been a long endeavor of many advocates from across the globe to lessen the possibility of losing it in the future. Thus, without the written documentation of the Tarek dance of the Pala'wan community in Barangay Bulalacao, Bataraza, Palawan, the researcher conducted descriptive research in the barangay. The data collected from the observation and interview among the Pala'wan elders were transcribed and analyzed through framework analysis. Tarek is a stamping dance on a bamboo floor, making a beautiful and synchronous sound with the Basal (the music produced by the percussion instruments), with common steps, namely, taptap, baw'bawi, and sinaraksakan. Furthermore, two sample lesson plans for teaching Tarek in Physical Education among grades 4 and 7 were proposed. The conclusions drawn in this study suggest the conduct of Pala'wan-led seminar-training workshops organized by the concerned units for teachers, dance enthusiasts, and other groups, a field testing of the sample lesson plans, and cultural mapping in other barangays of Bataraza, Palawan.
