Reading Materials/Concept Notes

MIMAROPA REGION

MIMAROPA is an administrative region consists entirely of island

provinces located in the Southwestern Luzon. The term MIMAROPA is a
combination of the names of its constituent provinces namely Mindoro,
Marinduque, Romblon and Palawan.

MINDORO

• Ambahan is a traditional poetry of the

Hanunuo-Mangyans in Mindoro. It is
traditionally written with the point of a An ambahan
written in a
knife on a piece of bamboo using the
bamboo
centuries-old pre-Spanish syllabic container
script called Surat Mangyan. Once the
letters had been cut, they took a handful
of ash and rubbed it into the thinly-carved letters to make them stand
out more clearly.

• Basket weaving is the main source of

Nito
income in Puerto Galera, Mindoro. They
weaving
use Nito which refers to the special vine
that grows in the wild. They make only
what the earth allows because Nito vine
cannot be cultivated or planted, ensuring the earth-friendly and
sustainable nature of their art. Each Nito woven item is one-of-a-kind,
with no single design being exactly the same as the other. A large basket
takes roughly one week to complete.

6
MARINDUQUE

• The Moriones festival in

Marinduque is a week-long
Moriones
commemoration of the life and festival
death of Jesus Christ every Holy
week. Morion means masks that are
made of wood or paper-mache
(papier-mâché). Some of these
woods come from Dap-dap or
Santol tree which are abundant in the province. Mask makers get their
wood mainly in nearby forests. It takes months to carve each mask
which weighs at least two kilograms. The participants use these
masks to depict the Roman soldiers escorting Christ on his way to the
Calvary.

ROMBLON

• Romblon is known as the "Marble Country" because all the islands

comprising the province have marble. Quarries (the process of getting
marbles) on these islands produce raw marble for sculpture and
construction purposes. However, before the discovery of these marbles,
Romblon had been famous for its traditional weaving and basketry.
Handicrafts such as beautifully woven mats and bags are major home
industry for their women.

7
 Marble products

Romblon baskets

PALAWAN

• Tingkop is one of the unique heritage

crafts which are original in Palawan. It is a Tingkop
cone-shaped colander harvest basket
which is made of hard-strip bamboo.
These baskets are occasionally made of
blackened and natural bamboo, which
make the designs stand out. The design is
created by an extremely refined changing
of the under-over pattern of the bamboo strips.

• The Manunggul jar uncovered in

Palawan was a secondary burial jar that
has existed since the late Neolithic Period Manunggul Jar
(895-775 B.C.) in the Philippines. It served
as a container for the dug up remains of
the dead. It is largely made from clay and
the upper portion of the jar, as well as the
cover, is carved with curvilinear scroll designs and painted with natural iron
or hematite. There are two human images riding a boat located on top of
the jar’s cover. The first human image, holding an oar with a missing blade,

8
 is situated at the back area. He seems to be controlling the oar (bugsay)
rather than paddling the boat. The second human image, with arms folded
across the chest, is situated at the front. The manner in which the hands of
the front figure are folded across the chest is also a widespread practice in
the islands when arranging the corpse. These figures represent two souls
on a voyage to the afterlife.

Characteristics of Arts and Crafts of Visayas Group of

Islands

VISAYAS

Also known as the Visayan group of islands, Visayas is a collection of

large and small islands in the central Philippine. The seven main islands
are Bohol, Cebu, Leyte, Masbate, Negros, Panay, and Samar.

by the Spaniards during their
occupation of our country. This was the prime material used in
making barong tagalogs and saya. Making Piña cloth is a careful
process, sometimes it takes months before it transforms into a wearable
outfit.

NEGROS ISLAND

• Sinamay, a term referring to

woven abaca, was the traditional
clothing material of Filipinos. This Sinamay
textile is made from abaca twine textile

and indigenous plants similar to

banana. Sinamay is of thin-less
tissue, but almost transparent and
far more durable than the fabrics made from pineapple fiber. Sinamay

covering, draperies, fashion accessories, footwear, tabletop accessories
and more.

various crafts products like
curtains, candle holder, chandelier, windows and many more.

CEBU

• Cebu is known as the "Furniture

capital of Southeast Asia." Most of
the products are made from local Rattan chair

and indigenous resources. The

materials used are readily
accessible in their environment like
coconut, cassava, waste wood or
even used paper. The furniture only uses minimal amount of synthetic
products and other materials for support and structures which make
them eco-friendly and sustainable. Their craftsmanship is a
combination of generations of know-how in handicraft and weaving
processes with a touch of the latest methods of furniture creation.

source of income and earned them the title “Basket Capital of Bohol”.

SAMAR

• The banig or mats in Basey,

Samar measure around 2×3
meters. A banig is usually made
from “tikog”, a special reed grass Banig

which grows in swampy (wet)

areas along rice fields and has
solid, jointless and usually
triangular stems. The colorful banigs are more expensive than simple
ones. From sleeping mats, the weavers have produced other products
such as bags, decors, place mats, furniture matting, and other
decoration.

annatto, more locally known as atsuete, serves as natural coloring. Over
the years, mask designs at present have evolved from plain and simple
to very decorative.

colonial church and heritage site in the
Molo church
province of Iloilo. It is known for the
famous red spires (pyramidal
structure on the top of the building)

all-women ensemble of saints represented in 16 statues hanging on the
aisle pillars. Built in 1831, Molo church stands as a reminder of Iloilo’s
rich history and a monument for Ilonggo artistry. The church displays

Italianate mansion built by Don Mariano Ledesma Lacson in memory
of his wife, Maria Braga, who had died during the pregnancy of his 11th
child. During World War II, Filipino guerrillas, employed by the US
Armed forces, intentionally set the building on fire in order to prevent
invading Japanese forces from being able to use the building as a
headquarters. The intention was to burn it to the ground. Despite being
burned slowly for several days, the walls and foundation of the mansion
remained stable. Even today, the design is still evidently elegant and
the color changes from white to gray and orange to red as the sunset
touches the structure.

considered to be one of the oldest
churches in the Philippines. According
Baclayon
