Art. plays a significant part in the rich cultural identity of the Philippines. It
mirrors the Filipino people, its history, its tradition, and the country as a whole.

Filipinos are. These art forms developed from the early times continue to evolve up

those who studied outside the Philippines. These three artists went back and

mostly classical due to the influence of the European. This kind of music continued

traditional or ethnic music. Dance. During the first years of the American period,

THE HIGANTES OF ANGONO by:

Mailah Balde. The “Higantes” is a
sculpture made of paper-mache.
This paper-mache, in our native
town in Paete, Laguna calls it
“taka.” The “Higantes” measures
four to five feet in diameter and ten
to twelve feet in height. The
“Higantes” represents “mag-anak”
(family) in the Filipino culture; a
father, a mother, and the children.
The “Higantes” is one of the main
attraction in the annual festival in Angono, Rizal in honor of St. Clement, patron
saint of the fisher folks held every 23 rd of November. This art form may have started
during the Spanish colonial time, but, the love of family among Filipinos have made
this art form a part of the Filipino tradition and a distinct Philippine contemporary
arts.

of objects that are both beautiful and functional. It includes interior design, but not
usually architecture.

Cloth weaving - One of the most valuable living traditions that are still preserved
until this day is the cloth weaving. Beginning in the pre-colonial era, the art of cloth
weaving, particularly of the Cordillera tribes in the North, still lives notwithstanding
the threat of the more practical production of fabrics today. The natives practice

colonial period. This is evident in the pictures
of our great ancestors in our history. Even
then, it is presumed that jewelry making in
the country already exists. The use of gold or
silver in the forms of earrings, bracelets,

Literature is any body or collection of written work. More restrictively, literature

refers to writing considered to be an art form or any single writing deemed to have
artistic or intellectual value, and sometimes deploys language in ways that differ
from ordinary usage. Wikipedia

12
 Literature in the contemporary period has
oscillated between personal expression and social
commentary. In vernacular poetry, the two
tendencies can be seen at work.

“Bagay” is a form of poetry that uses colloquial

language and is built on concrete images which
tend to describe tendencies. The “Bagay”
movement were group of young poets that
emerged during the contemporary period in the
publications of campus journals. Poets Jose F.
Lacaba, Rolando Tinio, Bienvenido Lumbera,
Antonio Samsaon, and Edmundo Martinez
started this the Bagay movement.

Valediction sa Hillcrest
in Taglish, (an excerpt) by: Rolando Tinio’s

Or catacomb.
Nagkacollect ng Railway Express sa aking things
(Deretso na iyon sa barko while I take the plane.) Strangely absolute ang impression
Inakyat kong muli ang N-311, at dahil dead of winter, Ng hilera ng mga pintong nagpuprusisyon:
Nakatopcoat at galoshes akong Individual identification, parang mummy cases,
Nagright-turn sa N wing ng mahabang dilim De-nameplate, de-numero, de-hometown address.
(Tunnel yatang aabot hanggang Tundo.) Antiseptic ang atmosphere, streamlined yet.
Kinapa ko ang switch sa hall.Sa isang pitik, Kung hindi catacomb, at least
nagshrink ang imaginary tunnel,Nagparang ataol. E filing cabinet.

Valediction sa Hillcrest by Rolando S. Tinio was a poem about a person having a

dilemma to decide between two places, Tondo and New York and how it affects his
whole being.

Amado V. Hernandez introduced another form of poetry inserting national

consciousness to bagay poetry through his work “Ang Bayang Malaya.” The poem
“Ang Bayang Malaya” is a long narrative piece about a peasant leader. Oppression
and fighting for human rights are the main themes of this piece. In the succeeding
poems developed by Filipino poets, the influence of Amado V. Hernandez was
evident. Social protest and social realism became the theme of the poems. Protest
poetry proliferated.

13
In the 21st century, a modern poetry from unknown writers use tagalog language
and become popular in the social media, it is called “spoken word poetry.”

During the early American period, the music of the country is mostly classical due
to the influence of the European. It was in the 1960 that avant-garde music emerged
into a combination of classical, traditional or ethnic music. As time goes by the
introduction of radio, film, and other entertainment technology. The theatre music
gradually declined, however the rondallas or the string band remain even up to the

 Philippine music continuously evolved, and Pinoy Pop or Filipino pop music
took place. Pinoy pop covers different forms like jazz, dance hits, folksong, revival,
rock and roll, rap, etc. With the development of Pinoy pop, Manila sound was born.
This music is Western-derived with English lyrics but with pure Filipino spirit. Later
on the Original Pilipino Music (OPM) became popular.

The OPM was followed by another form of popular music called “alternative
music” influenced by folk balladeers. This type of music sprouted out of protest that
later on included themes like Filipino values, political and environmental concerns,
and other societal themes.

Some examples of alternative music are: Freddie Aguilar’s “Anak,” Herbert

Bautistas “Tayo’y Mga Pinoy,” and Florante De Leon’s “Ako ay Pilipno.”

In the establishment of Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) Filipino music

as well as Filipino artists were given importance.

There were provincial councils established which preserve the traditional

music and innovate Philippine music. Indigenous music continuously thrives and
spread in different localities. Local composers continuously create vernacular songs.
Moreover, local festivals like the Las Pinas Bamboo organ was established.

Theatre or theater is a collaborative form of performing art that uses live

performers, typically actors or actresses, to present the experience of a real or
imagined event before a live audience in a specific place, often a stage.

The performers may communicate this experience to the audience through

combinations of gesture, speech, song, music, and dance. Elements of art, such as
painted scenery and stagecraft such as lighting are used to enhance the physicality,
presence and immediacy of the experience.

 In the Philippines, the American introduced the “bodabil” or stage show,
however during that time it was composed mainly of songs, dances and skits. It was
only during the Japanese period when “bodabil” included short melodrama.

Another presentational style of stage plays highlights discussion of social

ideas since realistic portrayal is prohibited during the Marcos regime. This style
made use of dance, song, and mime to summon the ideas from the audience. An
example of this is the “Theater of the Oppression” by Augusto Boal. The documentary
style followed which tend to discuss historical events “Mayo-A-Beinte Uno” of Al
Santos.

Philippine dance has played a tremendous role in Filipino culture. From one
of the oldest dated dances called the Tinikling, to other folkloric dances such as
the Pandanggo, Cariñosa, and Subli, and even to more modern-day dances like the
ballet, it is no doubt that dance in the Philippine setting has integrated itself in
society over the course of many years and is significantly imbedded in culture. Each
of these dances originated in a unique way and serve a certain purpose, showcasing
how diverse Philippine dances are.

Tinikling is a traditional Philippine folk

dance which originated during the
Spanish colonial era. The dance involves
two people beating, tapping, and sliding
bamboo poles on the ground and against
each other in coordination with one or
more dancers who step over and in
between the poles in a dance.
