A. Introduction Directions: Read the various art forms found in the Philippines and practices in
Panimula the different regions. Understand what you are reading then answer the
questions afterwards on a sheet of paper.
Let us begin with the Pre-colonial arts or Indigenous arts. These were the arts made by
the people before the foreigners came to colonize our country. These are expressions
integrated within rituals which were based from the significant moments of the people’s
lives in the community like ceremonies, planting, harvesting and among others. Other forms
were pottery, weaving, carving, metalwork, and jewelry which do exist at present.
Long time ago, our ancestors were hunter gatherers. The ritual of praying for strength
and feasting on the animal that they caught was involved before. How did the different
forms of art begin from these rituals? Literature started when they told their stories about
how they hunted animals and devised alphabets for them to write their stories down. The
theater started when they imitated how the animals moved. Music and dance started
when they added the drum beating and assigned a beat to their movements. To illustrate
some of these arts, we have the Cañao in the Cordillera Autonomous Region where
animals are sacrificed for these purposes: healing, announcement of the birth of a child,
or a coming of age during wakes, weddings, and burial ceremonies. Another is the ritual
Kashawing in Lake Lanao in Mindanao which involves a re-enactment of the agreement
made by the ancestors of the community and the unseen spirits that dwell in the lake. The
Tagbanwa in Palawan believe that their planting of rice will be blessed by three goddesses
who go down from heaven. The shamans go into spell while ritual chanting and dancing
are going on which they believed that they are taken over by the goddesses. The people
long time ago also possessed a vibrant musical culture. They had instruments such as pipes,
flutes, zithers, drums , various string instruments like the kudyapi, a three stringed guitar, the
kulintang – an array of bossed gongs, the gansa or flat gong, bamboo percussion
instruments and the agong, a large bossed gong.
In terms of dance movements, they mimic movements of the animals, humans, and
elements from nature. To name some, we have the Pangalay from the Sulu archipelago
which is imitative of the movement of the seabirds. We also have the Mandaya’s kinabua,
the banog-banog of the Higaonon and of the B’laan communities, and the man-manok
of the Bagobos of Mindanao which copy the movement of the seabirds. In Ifugao, the
talip dance which is used in courtship would mimic the movements of the wild fowls. The
funny movements of the monkeys are likewise imitated by the Matigsalugs in their inamong
dance and the4 T’bolis in their kadaliwas dance. A popular Tagalog folk dance which is
often shown to tourists is the Tinikling which is similar to the movements of the crane in which
the dancers have to be alert always so they won’t be clutched by the bamboo traps. The
Filipinos before colonization carved images like the bulul of the Cordillerans . This image is
a granary god that plays an important role in rituals.
You can also see this image in containers, bowls, and spoons. Another image, a wooden
bench produced by the Ifugaos that marks the socioeconomic status of the owner, is
called Hagabi. We also have the sculpture of saints called Santos which were carved by
Christian Communities in Laguna and Pampanga. In Southern Philippine, there are
curvilinear decorations called Okir(Ukkil in Tausug/Samal/Badjao). The torogan which is the
ancestral home of a sultan or the highest titleholder in a Maranao village has its protruding
beams or the panolong designed with okir. With regards to pottery, there was a jar that
was discovered in Manunggul Cave, Lipuun Point, Palawan which was a secondary burial
vessel where buried bones were positioned. This is named as the Manunggul Jar of the late
Neolithic period (890-710 BC). This jar, with reddish hematite and carved with curvilinear
designs and with two anthropomorphic or human forms atop the lid, was being
transported by a paddling man and this is a representation to a travel to the afterlife.
Another burial jar was found in Ayuv Cave in Maitum, Saranggani province during the
Metal Age (5 BC – 225 AD) where the human figure is more noticeable in this
jar. Other forms of pottery used before were the palayok used for cooking, banga and
tapayan used for fermenting food or keeping liquids. In Vigan,one which is valued in Ilocos
as part of its creative industry is the traditional Pagbuburnay.
Textiles are not only useful, they also convey about the belief systems of the
people: the respect for spirits and nature, criteria for the beautiful, and the structure of
socio- politics in their society. In traditional weaving, the people get the fibers from plants
like cotton, abaca, and pineapple leaves and they extract the pigments from clay, roots,
and leaves of plants. They use a backstrap loom or a pedal loom to weave designs that
hold special meaning for a particular cultural group. To name some we have the pis siyabit
which is a Tausug headpiece woven in Sulu. The Malong is a woven textile from Maranao
with exquisite tapestry panels called langkit woven in Lanao del Sur.
The colourful double-layered tepo mat in Sama of Tawi-Tawi is made of pandan leaves .
In Itbayat, Batanes , there are baskets which are are made of nito and bamboo which are
used as head sling to carry harvests. They are called the Ovaloid Baskets . There are sturdy
bamboo strips that are woven to create fish traps in Ilocos region and they are called
bubo. The Filipinos adorned their bodies through tattoos and jewelries. Jewelries were worn
by upper class Tagalogs while tattoos were seen among the Visayans, corroborating early
accounts that referred to the Visayas as “Islas de los Pintados”. Aside from the idea that
tattooing is an art, a tattoo was given importance because it was believed to guard the
individual from evil spirits, and in some cases, it was considered as a mark of maturity and
bravery. Those who practice tattooing include Kalinga, Kankanay, Ibaloy and Ifugao. With
regards to jewelries, it is believed that the wearer becomes more attractive to the opposite
sex in as much as it is considered pleasing to the gods. The T’boli are known to wear brass
chains, bells and colorful
beads to complete their elaborate ensemble. The people from Maranao of Lanao del Sur
produce the lotoans or betel nut boxes of various shapes, made of brass or bronze giving
attention to details to this metalwork. Other examples are the kendi and the gandur which
are status symbols or as heirloom pieces. The kendi is a vessel used for pouring liquids while
the gadur
is a container with a tapered top, a round body, and a flared base.
