EN: benefit dance; dance party
The OG social gathering in the province. Before clubs and bars, there was the **pasayaw** at the town plaza during the fiesta. It's where your lolo and lola probably had their first date. The entrance fee might be 'P20 para sa ilaw' and the music is a mix of cha-cha and whatever's on the radio.
From `pa-` (for a purpose) + `sayaw` (dance).
