DAMAYAN is a Filipino group based in Incheon, South Korea. Early this year, they formed a folk dance group focusing on showcasing Filipino traditional dances. They have been featured on Arirang TV and they also graced the Multicultural Festival of the National Folk Museum of South Korea. They have been performing in various events in different places in South Korea. Kudos to their hardworking dancers, especially for showing Filipino folk dances.
