Sinu-og
For more than a century, this distinct cultural tradition performed during the annual fiesta celebration of Jagna manifests the rich cultural heritage of the town. A native war dance performed in the accompaniment of a drum, it depicts the battle between the early Jagnaanon Christians and the invading Muslims from Mindanao and how the most revered patron of Jagna, St. Michael the Archangel rescued the people from the hands of the invaders. The male dancers fight with their bolos while reciting verses.
Presently, there are two groups of Sinu-og dancers. One group comes from Mayana and the other from Cabungaan. The dancers come down during the "vesperas" to join in the vesper procession. They also join in the morning fluvial procession on September 29, the feast day itself.
Sinuog-Estokada
This two-year old modification of the original sinuog is an added form in character. It is a war dance this time depicting the good and evil but the basic sequence of movements are modified conforming to a rhythm in marching and regular procedure. It started in 2001 and
the young adolescents usually participate in this annual fiesta activity. Town Fiesta Date September 29 - Town Fiesta in Honor of Saint Michael Archangel Barrio Fiesta Dates JANUARY
