Abstract/Summary
The firedancers of Alfonso, Cavite are the subjects of this documentary. Two groups, one led by Mang Puring Hernan and the other managed by Rody Rogacion, are featured in the video. Mga Barko sa Dagat na Apoy focuses not only on Sayaw sa Apoy as a ritual but also on how it can be exploited as a form of commercialized presentation. This is a twenty-two (22) minute video documentary shot on Hi-8, transferred and edited on U-matic format. The language used is Filipino.
