00:00Summer Governor Sharyan Tan goes viral after video shows are dancing under a shower of money.

00:07This happened while many parts of the country were dealing with floods and other disasters.

00:11A news outlet that shared the video on Monday, August 25, says it was supposedly taken during

00:17an event at the Summer Convention Center on Friday, August 22, that had elected officials

00:22attending a lavish dinner. On the same day, the summer governor's office released a statement

00:27clarifying that the video was actually from the Hermano night of the Catmalogan City Fiesta.

00:32The governor adds it was a community celebration where the traditional coracha dance was performed.

00:38The coracha is an indigenized form of the Mexican lacucaracha courtship dance performed during

00:42weddings, baptismal, celebrations, and fiestas. It has multiple variations in the Visayas,

00:48with one involving performers being showered with money. The governor explains that Ruben

00:54Panaligan, the hermano mayor or main sponsor for the fiesta, invited her to take part in the

00:58coracha with other guests. Panaligan says that the money used for the event was from the guests'

01:03personal contributions, which was then donated to churches in Catmalogan.
