    Mindoro Music

    Q2-Week 1 & 2
    The ambahan is the traditional poetry of the
    Hanunuo Mangyans of Oriental Mindoro. It is usually
    written on bamboo in the Surat Mangyan, a
    centuries-old pre-Spanish script. The syllabic script
    and the ambahan poetry have complemented each
    other, contributing to their continued existence
    today.

    1. A rhythmic poetic expression with a meter of seven


    syllable lines and having rhythmic end-syllables.
    2. It is most often presented as a chant without a
    determined musical pitch or accompaniment by musical
    instruments.
    3. Its purpose is to express in an allegorical way, liberally
    using poetic language, certain situations or certain
    characteristics referred to by the one reciting the poem.

    Folk Songs

    It is a song transferred from one generation to another


    without knowing who the composer was. The song contains
    the different aspects about the people, places, beliefs,
    values, and their ambitions, or dreams.
    Mindoro

    The word Mindoro comes from a word "Mina de Oro" which means
    the place has lots of gold or rich with gold deposits. Ma-I is the first
    name of Mindoro. But when Asian coutries like China, Malaysia,
    Indonesia, and Arabia came to bring in their merchandise during the
    10th century, the place was completely changed into Mindoro.
    The island of Mindoro is situatued 25 miles north of Luzon. Mindoro
    is divided into two region, the Oriental and Occidental according to
    Republic Act No. 305. This place is included in Region IV or
    Southern Tagalog. The capital city of Oriental Mindoro is Calapan,
    while Occidental Mindoro is Mamburao.
    Hanunuo Mangyan

    Hanunoo Mangyans are nomadic. They


    have no permanent residence. They
    transfer to a place where there are
    plenty of food to eat.
    History tells that they retreated to the
    mountains when the Philippines was
    christianized. They were called
    Dumuong or Damuong which means
    they arrived by banca.

    Hanunuo Mangyan

    The Hanunoo Mangyans are generally peaceful and generous,


    which was greatly abused by Filipinos and foreigners. Although
    their lives became miserable, they were able to keep or sustain their
    art and culture. Some like their "script" writings which is similar to
    the Sanskrit of India, was preserved.
    Ambahan

    The Ambahan is a lyrical chant song of the


    pure Mangyans. It is composed of seven
    syllables in one line that rhyme. The number
    of lines found in several Ambahan ranges
    from three to 134. There is no specific tone
    style or instrument used as accompaniment.
    Ambahan

    The aim of Ambahan is to show the uniqueness of chanting. This


    depends in the way the music is delivered or presented. If ever a
    Mangyan likes an Ambahan, it is rewritten in a bamboo tube called
    "Luka" to remember the song every now and then.
