	Dancers by John Henry Fleming
		It is said that the Lakas are natural dancers because when they walk from hut to hut or village to village they must spin, shuffle, and slide over treacherous, cliff-hugging paths and the knife-sharp rocks that stipple their jagged island.
		So rarely do the Lakas encounter flat earth that when they do their knees bow and their feet roll over onto their ankles and their torsos sway and totter until they finally collapse to the dirt and struggle for hours to regain their feet, like turtles flipped on their backs.
		This is how the Lakas give shape to their lives and why, for them, every life event is experienced not just for its own sake but also for the sake of its effect on their dance.

		"With their expected election of most Lakas candidates for congressional seats in the 2001 polls, they believe that there would be a better chance for an impeach-Erap move to succeed in the second half of the Estrada presidency, " the source said.
