Their themes, variably deal with nature, work, love, customs and norms. The purposes of the chanting of the ambahans are to entertain, to teach, and to commemorate very significant occasions. According to the culture of the Panay Bukidnons, the practitioners of the ambahan are elderly men. No women are allowed to join in the chanting of the ambahan.
