‘Saludan’ is an Ilonggo/Hiligaynon term rooted from the word “salud”, which in its literal sense means – the act of gathering something. The performance is a way of promoting the town’s local products through the depiction of how the local townsfolk harvest by “salud”, using a fishnet for their catch or their baskets for milled rice or any other agricultural product.
