Pagdidiwata ("imploring the aid of the supernatural") is a Tagbanua dance to mend warring factions. The babaylan becomes possessed and whisks coconut leaves to drive away harmful spirits. 

In Tarek, the babaylan hears the closing drum and babandil gong. As the community celebrates, she performs a ritual to prevent illness.

Kalooban i
s the final thanksgiving for a bountiful harvest
