C. Presentation of the Lesson

This section introduces the topic or the subject matter that you need to
learn. Here, you are expected to learn new concepts in reference to the
content of this module and the curriculum, in general.
Mindanao has been describe as the “
Land of the Promise” in 2016, Mindanao
became the home to the 16th President of
the Philippines. Rodrigo Roa Duterte is
the first president of the Philippines who
hails from Mindanao. With the various
national and international political and
economic events that are held especially
in Davao City, the hometown of the
President, the culture and arts of the Philippine Embassy In London-DFA
region also become more popular.

As one of the largest islands in the Philippines, Mindanao is a melting

pot of tribes and cultures. The pioneer inhabitants, the Moro and Lumad
(the indigenous groups) who resisted the Spanish colonization, strongly
retain the influence of the Malayo-Polynesian arts and culture. Thus, it can
be observed that there is semblance in the arts of the ethnic groups of
Mindanao with that of its southern and eastern neighboring countries-
Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Polynesian Island.

What Influences the art of the ethnic groups in Mindanao?

The Lumads, just like other ethnic groups in Luzon and Visayas, are
strongly influenced by the Malayo-Polynesian arts. The influence is so
strong that the places of the Lumads look like they are provincial extensions
of our southern and eastern neigboring countries- Indonesia, Malaysia, and
the Polynesians Islands.

The T’boli, for instance, wear clothing made of t’nalak, and adorn
themselves with bronze, brass, and golden armlets and leglets. They speak a
Malayo-Polynesian language. The tibolis of South Cotabato, live in a “long
houses” that are built with six- foot stilts bamboo. Their houses are similar
with the houses of the river and sea-dwellers of the Malayo-Polynesian
riverbanks. The T’Boli’s live along Lake Sebu, the most prominent lake in
the area.

The Artworks of the T’bolis of South Cotabato

The T’bolis are noted for using t’nalak as their clothing. The T’nalak’s
distinctive and colorful clothing is a major source of ethnic pride of T’bolis.
