The Kalingga borrowed the beautiful word Ragragsakan from the Ilocano, which means "merriment". The two biggest occasions for a Ragragsakan in a Kalinga Village are for the homecoming of successful head takers and the culmination of peace-pact between warring tribes. In this dance, Kalingga maidens balance labba baskets on their heads, wave colorful tribal blankets and sing short Salidumay songs as they snake through the terrace dikes and skip through breaks in the path. This dance portrays the walk of the industrious Kalingga women, caring water pots on their heads and wearing the colorful hand-woven "blankets of life" around their necks. Their Ealk imitates the climb up the Rice Terraces in the Mountain Provinces of the Philippines.
