The Arts and Crafts of Visayas Group of islands

Visayas is one of the three principal geographical divisions of the Philippines consisting of major and minor islands. It is divided into three administrative regions: Central Visayas, Eastern Visayas, and Western Visayas. They speak different languages including Cebuano (the largest group), Ilonggo (Hiligaynon), Kinaray-a, Akeanon, Waray- Waray, and Leyte. They have a rich culture that can be seen in their folk arts, motifs, and design that are usually inspired by indigenous and foreign influences. PANAY ISLAND ARTS AND CRAFTS

Weaving from indigenous textiles such as jusi and piña is a primary form of arts and crafts in Panay Island even before the Spaniards came to the Philippines. It was once tagged as the “Textile Capital of the Philippines”. https://rappler.com/bulletin-board/miagao-hablon-weavers-demos-lectures- iloilo-march-2019

 The patadyong is a wrap-around piece of cloth worn by women a skirt paired with a kimono.

 Used as a tapis when bathing outdoors or washing clothes in the river, or as a carriage for babies. Characterized by its linear and geometric designs of different http://pjaranador.blogspot.com/2015/07/tubuk-heritage-needlecraft-colors. of-iloilo.html

Piña weaving is an age-old tradition in Aklan, the leading manufacturer of piña cloth in the country. It requires long hours of laborious extraction of fibers from pineapple leaves in which it is scrap with a broken china plate and pummeled by hand to reveal the first set of fibers called bastos. After this, it is scraped with a coconut shell to get the finer fibers.

https://ecoworldonline.com/innovative-textile-solutions/ The people of Aklan weave baskets, trays, and mats. Pandan and bariw plants are the materials they use in their weaving. The process of pagrara or weaving is often a form of social interaction. Bukog – a simple stripping machine made of bamboo that is used to remove the thorny sides of the leaves.

Palpag - a process of pounding the bariw when it turned into deep brown until such time that the leaves become soft.

Kulhadan- a machine with blades where the tied bundles of bariw is pounded once again before stripping them. http://www.benjielayug.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/The-finished-banig-mat.jpg

Kapiz shell is also an important material in the craft of Panay Islands, particularly in Aklan and Iloilo. Kapiz shells are bleached and dried before being pressed or cut into different shapes. These are formed into various craft products like plates, utility box, chandelier, windows, among others. https://www.funeasyp.com/index.php?main cts_id=692164

NEGROS ISLAND In the pre-Historic times, the Negros Island was first called Buglas, named after the type of grass like sugarcane that grows abundantly in the island.

Negrenses weaving

The weaving tradition of the Negrenses includes the production of roofing materials, walls, hat, and baskets. The materials commonly used are pandan and buri.

The Negrenses also weave fabric from abaca (Musa Textile) twine and indigenous plants like banana known as sinamay. Sinamay weaving is a world class industry. Its application has expanded and improved, going beyond the simple fiber craft to sophisticated industrial uses.

BOHOL Basket weaving is among the earliest industries that have been established in Bohol, particularly in the town of Antiquera which is known as the “Basket Capital of Bohol”. Their products are made from whatever native products on hand: bamboo, rattan, wicker, nito, buri, sig- id, and other vines. https://raulgatal.blogspot.com/2014/03/heres-why-antequera-is-basket-capit

On the other hand, the municipality of Tubigon is known as the “Loom Weaving Center of Bohol” this is because of their woven products that are made from raffia or buri leaves that are abundant in the area and in the neighboring municipalities.

BASEY, SAMAR The town of Basey is known for its woven products such as mats, wall decorations, and the famous colorful sleeping mat called “banig”.

A typical banig is usually measures around 2X3 meters and is as thin as a sheet of chipboard. It is made from tikog, a reed grass that grows in swampy areas along the rice fields.

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 adornments.

That’s Region IX Our.. Here the Badjaos roam the seas Hardworking people Abound, Eden... Here the Samals live in peace Every valleys and Dale Land...

My Final Farewell Farewell, dear Fatherland, clime of the sun caress'd Let the sun draw the vapors up to the sky, Pearl of the Orient seas, our Eden lost!, And heavenward in purity bear my tardy protest Gladly now I go to give thee this faded life's best, Let some kind soul o 'er my untimely fate sigh, And were it brighter, fresher, or more blest And in the still evening a prayer be lifted on high Still would I give it thee, nor count the cost. From thee, 0 my country, that in God I may rest.

On the field of battle, 'mid the frenzy of fight, Pray for all those that hapless have died, Others have given their lives, without doubt or heed; For all who have suffered the unmeasur'd pain; The place matters not-cypress or laurel or lily white, For our mothers that bitterly their woes have cried, Scaffold or open plain, combat or martyrdom's plight, For widows and orphans, for captives by torture tried T is ever the same, to serve our home and country's need. And then for thyself that redemption thou mayst gain

I die just when I see the dawn break, And when the dark night wraps the graveyard around Through the gloom of night, to herald the day; With only the dead in their vigil to see And if color is lacking my blood thou shalt take, Break not my repose or the mystery profound Pour'd out at need for thy dear sake And perchance thou mayst hear a sad hymn resound To dye with its crimson the waking ray. 'T is I, O my country, raising a song unto thee.

My dreams, when life first opened to me, And even my grave is remembered no more My dreams, when the hopes of youth beat high, Unmark'd by never a cross nor a stone Were to see thy lov'd face, O gem of the Orient sea Let the plow sweep through it, the spade turn it o'er From gloom and grief, from care and sorrow free; That my ashes may carpet earthly floor, No blush on thy brow, no tear in thine eye. Before into nothingness at last they are blown.

Dream of my life, my living and burning desire, Then will oblivion bring to me no care All hail ! cries the soul that is now to take flight; As over thy vales and plains I sweep; All hail ! And sweet it is for thee to expire ; Throbbing and cleansed in thy space and air To die for thy sake, that thou mayst aspire; With color and light, with song and lament I fare, And sleep in thy bosom eternity's long night. Ever repeating the faith that I keep.

If over my grave some day thou seest grow, My Fatherland ador'd, that sadness to my sorrow lends In the grassy sod, a humble flower, Beloved Filipinas, hear now my last good-by! Draw it to thy lips and kiss my soul so, I give thee all: parents and kindred and friends While I may feel on my brow in the cold tomb below For I go where no slave before the oppressor bends, The touch of thy tenderness, thy breath's warm power. Where faith can never kill, and God reigns e'er on high!

Let the moon beam over me soft and serene, Farewell to you all, from my soul torn away, Let the dawn shed over me its radiant flashes, Friends of my childhood in the home dispossessed! Let the wind with sad lament over me keen ; Give thanks that I rest from the wearisome day! And if on my cross a bird should be seen, Farewell to thee, too, sweet friend that lightened my way; Let it trill there its hymn of peace to my ashes. Beloved creatures all, farewell! In death there is rest!

I Am a Filipino, by Carlos P. Romulo I am a Filipino –inheritor of a glorious past, hostage to the uncertain I am a Filipino, child of the marriage of the East and the West. The future.
