The harana is a serenade of lyrical slow-tempo courtship songs, typically sang by a man with the help of
his close friends, by the window of the lady he is trying to woo. The tradition, mostly practiced in rural
areas and small towns, dates back to the Spanish period.

Jessica Layumas, coordinator of the activity, said the contest is open to male bona fide residents of
Dumaguete City at least 18 years old and above, with a certification of residence from their respective
barangay captains.

The first 10 group- contestants to sign up will be qualified to compete, Layumas said.

Each group-contestant is required to sing two old Visayan love songs. Only guitars or ukuleles are
allowed; percussion instruments such as drums, cymbals, xylophones, gongs, bells, and rattles are not
allowed.

The entire harana performance must not exceed six minutes; or one point is deducted for every minute
beyond the required maximum.

Other guidelines: the choice of songs must be wholesome and pleasing, whose lyrics are not vulgar or
sexually suggestive; contestants must be in native Filipino attire; City Hall employees are disqualified to
joining the competition organized by the City government.

The criteria include: Singing ability (50%), Stage presence and showmanship (20%), Over-all performance
(20%), audience appeal (10%).
