Thus, you will also learn how lines, shapes, forms, value, color, texture and space give more meaning and significance to an artwork. This module will help you explore the arts of people of Mindanao and how animism and the Islamic religion fused together and produced a uniquely Filipino artistic tradition. The arts and crafts of Mindanao include their cultural attire, textiles, tapestries, crafts, accessories and body ornaments which are a combination of designs from indigenous people that resides in the regions and the colorful and rich influence from their indigenous belief system. Most of their crafts are made of materials that are abundant in their areas. Their designs are derived from their surroundings and represent their cultural community. Some are used for religious activities while some have utilitarian functions and even became large industry for them. Even until now, the skills in weaving, sculpting and crafting have been an important part of their community. Thus, these become the people’s way of living and their means of survival. These are passed on from generation to generation. And with the influence of modern technology, traces of their indigenous traditions and designs are still visible in their arts and crafts today.

B’laan is a combination of two words, “bila”, which means “house”, and “an” which means “people”. They are known for embroidery, brass ornaments and beadwork that are integrated in their traditional clothing. They wear clothes woven from abaca embellished with embroidery, buttons, and beads. The women wear heavy brass belts with numerous tiny bells that hang around their waistline. They also cut mother-of-pearl into small shapes that look like sequins called takmun to form geometric patterns. Traditional Clothing of the Bagobo and the T’boli The Bagobos are a group of people that live in Davao. The name of this ethnolinguistic group comes from the words “bago” (new) and “obo” (growth). This is because they are believed to have come from the mixture of the native population with the Hindu migrants that entered Mindanao during the Sri Vijayan and Malapahit empires. 5 The men wear t’nalak shorts, an undershirt, and a t’nalak coat. The bagani (hero/warrior) wear blood-red clothes and a head kerchief called tangkulu. These articles of clothing represent their courage. The T’boli who live in and around Lake Sebu, South Cotabato, are famous for their complicated beadwork, wonderful woven fabrics, and beautiful brass ornaments. Similar to Bagobos, they regard the t’nalak as sacred. Traditional wedding rituals involve the exchange of this textile. During the birth, it is used as cover. Traditional Clothing of the Mindanao Maranao means “People of the Lake”, referring to people who occupy the lands surrounding Lake Lanao. They are famous for their artworks, intricate weaving, wood carving, metal craft, and their epics. The Maranaos are known for their Malong. The malong is a traditional Filipino tube skirt that is made of hand- woven or machine-made multi-colored cotton cloth, bearing a variety of geometric or floral designs. It can be used in many ways. The malong is similar to the sarong worn by peoples in Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia. But unlike the Sarong, the malong is longer and is stitched together at both ends to make a tube. The Malong is an important part of the Maranao life. A newborn is wrapped in it and, as he or she grows, it becomes a part of his or her daily life as clothing and as material for everyday use. A traditional dance called Kapa Malong Malong or Sambisa Malong, demonstrates the various ways of wearing a malong and its uses. Traditional Clothing of the Yakan 6 Basilan is the home to the Yakans. They are popular for their skills in weaving. They weave very intricate designs in their textiles, which they use for their clothes and other accessories. Yakan hand-loomed fabrics are known for their use of bold colors and geometric patterns. The traditional Yakan art of weaving originated from their hometown Lamitan in the island of Basilan. Yakan fabrics are traditionally used as garments. The seputangan is a square cloth used by the Yakan women as a head cover or as belt. The badjulapi is a tight blouse with long sleeves. It is ornamented with gold, silver, or bronze buttons. CRAFTS, ACCESSORIES, AND BODY ORNAMENTS Sarimanok The Sarimanok is a legendary bird of the Maranao. It comes from the words “sari” meaning cloth or garment and “manok” for chicken. It has become a significant symbol of Maranao art. It is depicted as a fowl with colorful wings and feathered tail, holding a fish on its beaks or talons. The head is profusely decorated with scroll, leaf, and spiritual motifs. It is said to be a symbol of good fortune. Okir It refers to traditional and to unique carving and prominent any design among the Moro ethno- linguistic communities. The name comes from an old Malayan word which means carve or “ukit” in filipino. It is referred to as Okir in Maranao while Okkil in Maguindanao. 7 Face Makeup and Body Ornaments A distinct form of visual arts of the Yakan is the facial make-up applied on brides and grooms. After applying a foundation of white powder, dots and lines are painted on the faces, creating the effect of formal and elaborate masks which match the ornate costumes of the couple. T’boli Accessories 1. Hilot – is a heavy brass belt worn by women during festivals. The T’boli nobility wear it with bracelets and anklets, furnished with ball-bearings that make a sound as the wearer walks. The bells that are hung from the distinctive brass or beaded belts signal the approach of a woman. 2. Suwatlmimotis – a wooden comb with colored glass beads hanging from it, worn toward the back of the head. Brass Making - Kulintang The Kulintang is a musical instrument composed of eight different-sized brass gongs laid upon a wooden rack. It is made of brass with intricate designs and embossed top where it can be hit by wooden mallets to produce music. Other brass instruments include the gandang, the two -headed cylindrical drums, as well as the duahanagong pair consisting of the bua and pulakan. 8 ARCHITECTURE Torogan The Torogan is the ancestral house of the upper-class Maranao. It is the dwelling place of the datu along with his wives and children. There could not be any house larger than Torogan of the datu within the sultanate, for this signifies rank, prestige, and wealth.

  • Re-Assessing the 'Balangay' Boat Discoveries
    A National Cultural Treasure Revisited – Re-assessing the ‘Balangay’ Boat Discoveries Roderick Stead1 and Dr. E Dizon2 Abstract The discovery of the balangay boats in the Butuan area of Northern Mindanao was arguably the most important find in pre-colonial maritime archaeology throughout island South East Asia. This class of vessel was well known from the accounts of early Spanish visitors to the Philippines, such as the Pigafetta journal of Magellan‟s voyage, but no extent examples had been located until the 1970s. As a by-product of an organised excavation of a settlement at the mouth of the Agusan River, a wave of illegal pot-hunting began in the Butuan area. As these ships had no commercial value they were reported to the National Museum. A total of 11 vessels were reported as discovered between 1976 and 1998, under some 2 metres of silt. In recent years a replica of a balangay boat has been built in the Philippines and it carried out a number of trial voyages in South East Asia. This replica is due to be put on show for the public in Manila. The first vessel discovered was conserved and is exhibited on site. A second ship was excavated and is on display in Manila in a partially reconstructed form. A third vessel and portions of a fourth have been excavated and are stored in pieces on site. The National Museum is planning to reopen the site in order to record in detail the remaining ships, to trace the stylistic developments of these vessels, and to test the dating evidence.

Ia telah wujud lebih lama daripada mereka yang perahu, pelaut, lebih dipopularkan dalam bidang ini – Phoenicians, Greek, Rom, Arab dan perdagangan, juga Vikings. Ketika masyarakat benua sibuk mencipta pelbagai kenderaan di maritim, darat dengan penciptaan roda, masyarakat Melayu sudah boleh Nusantara menyeberang laut dengan perahu-perahu mereka. Sejak air laut meningkat kesan daripada pencairan ais di kutub dan glesiar di benua, sekitar 10,000- 6,000 tahun yang lampau, orang Melayu telah mula memikirkan alat pengangkutan mereka lantaran mereka telah terkepung di pulau-pulau akibat kenaikan paras laut dan tenggelamnya Benua Sunda. Justeru terciptalah pelbagai jenis perahu dan alat pengangkutan air yang dapat membantu pergerakan mereka. Sejak zaman itu, orang Melayu telah mampu menguasai laut sekitarnya. Ketika orang-orang Phoenician dan Mesir baru pandai berbahtera di pesisir laut tertutup Mediterranean dan Sungai Nil, orang Melayu telah melayari samudra luas; Teluk Benggala, Lautan Hindi dan Lautan Pasifik. Sekitar abad ke-2SM perahu-perahu Melayu yang besar-besar telah berlabuh di pantai timur India dan tenggara China, sementara masyarakat bertamadun tinggi lain baru sahaja pandai mencipta perahu-perahu sungai dan pesisir. Pada mulanya perahu-perahu Melayu hanya digunakan untuk memberi perkhidmatan pengangkutan hinggalah masuk abad ke-4 apabila komoditi tempatan Nusantara mula mendapat permintaan di peringkat perdagangan antarabangsa. Pelbagai jenis rempah ratus, hasil hutan dan logam diangkut oleh perahu-perahu itu untuk menyertai perdagangan dunia yang sedang berkembang.

  • Archaeological Survey of Southern Zamboanga and the Sulu Archipelago
    Archaeological Survey of Southern Zamboanga and the Sulu Archipelago Received 24 June I968 ALEXANDER SPOEHR* HE Sulu Archipelago is of archaeological interest in that it. forms a southern route of T entry into the Philippines and in historic times was a trading center for the exchange of goods between the Moluccas, Borneo, Sulu itself, China, and mainland Southeast Asia. At the same time, it has had close relations with the_S9utl1~rn pjl.rt of the ZambQanga_ PeninsUla, aswellas wIth northern coastalBorneo (se;-Fig. I). Previous archaeological explorations in Zamboanga and Sulu are summarized in Beyer (1947:318-338). These had as their primary interest the recovery of Chinese and Southeast Asian trade ceramics, as exemplified by the Michigan survey (Guthe 1929) and the work of resident officials such as F. G. Roth. No stratigraphic excavations have ever been under­ taken in the area. During July and August 1967, I conducted an archaeological survey of the southern tip of Zamboanga Peninsula, J 010, and Siasi for the purpose of locating midden sites suitable for stratigraphic excavations. This note reports on the results of the survey. Survey collections are deposited at the National Museum, Manila. ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY Certain practical problems confront any archaeological survey of the region. The southern tip of Zamboanga Peninsula has a good coastal road system linking the principal barrios. However, the limited road systems of Basilan and Jolo link a few coastal points by roads across each island, which makes land survey difficult, while other islands in the Sulu archi­ pelago lack road systems altogether. Consequently, survey by sea for the Sulu islands is imperative.
