More often sung than danced, it is a Visayan art form which existed in the region long before the Spaniards came. The early natives called the song oyayi and the dance baya-i. The Spaniards called the dance valse (waltz). The natives adapted the word valse to bal and added tawo (the Visayan word for 'people').
Thus was coined the term balitaw, meaning 'dance of the people'. Visayan debate songs, of which the balitaw is the best example, are usually sung at a festive gathering by a man-woman pair who must also be good dancers and actors. The examples that follow are jovial jousts on love and marriage.

' Day, it's true you have nothing to do with my fate, Nor did you ask to be part of it; Yet you are the reason for my affliction, So from you I seek my due. 'Dong, ngano nga ako'y imong panilngan, Unsa may utang ko kanimo? Ngano nga ako'y imong pasanginlan, Nga imo ra man kanang gusto? ' Dong, why will you come to me? What do I owe you?
Why will you blame me, When no one is to blame but yourself?

' Day, I speak not of any debt, But my love makes me do what I do; I am taking a chance you will yield to me, For sometimes I cannot sleep. 'Dong, aron mo gayud hisayran, Timan-i aron dili ka malimot: Bisan unsay imong dangatan, Para kanako wala kay mapa-abut. ' Dong, so that you may well know, Mark this so you will not forget: Happen what may with you, From me you have nothing to expect.
