Do you agree that Carinosa should be Philippines' national dance? If yes, why? If not, why not?

No! Because a dance should symbolize the whole sentiments of our nation. Leaders should not be picking up and choose a national dance just because they think and feel so! A dance is an expression of our identity. How can Carinosa be that expression? As others noted, its even unknown in their places... Mindanao or Visayas. Why choose a dance that others cannot identify with? It isn't right.

No.
Tinikling was the national dance for so many years..I dont know the reason why they changed it..maybe some oppurtunistic politician or gorvernment official that wants their name to be written in history..it doesnt makes sense..
i have read in an article that they changed it because carinosa reflects the filipina character of being sweet or romantic..and tinikling is a dance from a bird(tikling) that is magaslaw or careless or wild.

Sounds good but what it really is. This is not even known here in Mindanao, so how could it become a national dance.

Is that the one where the dancers skip over those bamboo poles? Dat should be your national dance.
