THE province of Kalinga has bagged two Guinness World Records for the largest pot and gong performances.

The province officially claimed the titles for 'largest gong ensemble' and 'largest banga dance' after 3,440 gongs played by male performers and 4,681 female banga (clay pot) dancers took part in the 'Awong Chi Gangsa, Agtu'n Chi Banga,' meaning 'The Call for a Thousand Gongs, The Dance of a Thousand Pots,' last Wednesday at the Kalinga Sports Complex.
