What I Need to Know

Have you ever been to different provinces of MIMAROPA and Visayas regions?
What do you like most in these places? If you haven’t, now is the chance for you to
imagine how these places look like as you begin your journey.

Now that you are about to flip the pages of this crafted material, stay focused

module, let us help each other in exploring the wonderful world of arts in MIMAROPA
and Visayas. Are you ready to ride this journey? Come. Let’s relish this enjoyable fun-
learning together!

Art is a complete combination of visual, auditory and performing craftsmanship

that is meant to impress and express what we locally see around. There are many
ways to express ourselves, all for the purpose of building a personality even from the
tiniest angle of anything. It is an inevitable communication that cannot be portrayed by
words alone, that is why, even in the blandest form of material, an artist can create a
masterpiece.

In the previous lesson, you are taught about the significant contributions of
MIMAROPA and Visayas in fabric designs, clothing and body ornamentations. It
discussed how local artisans crafted architectures, sculptures and everyday objects
as an eye of their outer artistic manifestations and how the people of the place value
art as a window of their soul in representing their place’s beautiful cultures. We have

1 CO_Q2_Arts 7_Module3
also learned how MIMAROPA and the Visayas developed its own local arts as product
of the place’s local color.
In this module, you will learn how the local crafts of the region are influenced
by the different elements which serve as basis in creating their masterpieces; how
each crafted product is affected by the meticulous incorporation of different elements
that make it so unique and exquisite. Now, sit back and begin this journey.

1.

2.

Thank you for your active engagement. I am happy with your feedback!
You have learned from the previous lesson the characteristics of the different
arts and crafts of MIMAROPA and Visayas. Each province included in the lesson
contains relevant details which define them including their significant clothing,
ornamentation and everyday objects.

MIMAROPA and Visayas are rich in art products. The adherence of the people
in their local culture, their personal taste, and their religious principles are clearly seen
and embedded in their artwork. The symbolic representations of who they are as a
dynamic group thriving in a place show their unity despite their diversity.

On the next page, I have crafted an activity that will enhance the creativity in
you! Together, let’s do it!

 What’s New

Before we proceed with the new lesson, let us take a moment to look back on
the previous discussion.

Activity #2: CRAZY ABOUT COLORS!

Directions: Observe the picture carefully and answer the questions that follow on
your activity notebook.

Processing Questions:

1. What can you say about the picture?

2. If you remove any part of the picture, what do you think will happen?
3. Can you name the different things you have noticed in the picture?
This one’s interesting, right? The colors are vibrant and the whole picture is
challenging to look at. All I can say is that working in a canvass is a complex
combination of creativity and expression. The artist uses art elements and combines

5 CO_Q2_Arts 7_Module3
them in different ways to create a unique piece, like this one. Sometimes, artworks
contain only one or two elements. Sometimes they have all the elements in it. But
whatever method or materials an artist used in designing or creating, it is still a
masterpiece as long as there is a unique combination of creativity and ideas.
Come on now and ponder its content as you read this material.

What Is It

Have you ever looked at an artwork and wondered how the artist came up with
the idea of making it? All art, whether two-dimensional like a painting or three-
dimensional like a sculpture, contain one or more of the six elements of arts. In this
lesson, you will learn about the different elements of art that are seen in Fabrics, Crafts
and Accessories, Body Ornamentation, Architectures, Sculptures and Everyday
Objects in MIMAROPA and the Visayas.
In the discussion from the previous quarter, you have been taught about the six
basic elements of arts which are termed as building blocks. These are Line, Shape
and Form, Value, Color, Texture and Space. Before we dig deeper in it, let us check
how far is your understanding of the art elements by answering the activity below on
your notebook.
Activity #3: FUN ON CIRCLES
Directions: Copy the circles below on your activity notebook and inside them
draw/illustrate the element of art being asked in each.

TEXTURE SPACE SHAPE

6 CO_Q2_Arts 7_Module3
 Good job! Now that you have illustrated your understanding of the different
elements of art, it is now time to define them! Using the picture below, write the
description of these elements on your activity notebook.

1. LINE -
2. SHAPE -
3. VALUE -
4. COLOR -
5. TEXTURE -
6. SPACE -
Well done! It seems that you have good observation and interpreting skills! Let
us now unfold its significance in the different arts and crafts of MIMAROPA and
Visayas.
There are many different arts and crafts produced by MIMAROPA and Visayas.
Along with their creativity in their indigenous methods is the natural springing of their
innate design collaborated by nature’s wonders and the complex combinations of the
different elements that make their creations extraordinary.
MIMAROPA is rich in cultural and art heritage. Its name, being derived from the
constituent provinces of Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon and Palawan is already a
manifestation of a complete creativity of the people living in it. Consider for instance
the beautiful attires worn by distinct natives of Mindoro. The rutay Mangyans, despite
the inevitable exploitation of the lowland traders, have preserved a big part of their
culture and beliefs that can be seen in their clothing. The males use the the g-string-
balled ba-ag for the lower part and for the upper part, they wear the sleeved balukas.
For females, on the other hand, the ramit is worn which is designed to be worn

7 CO_Q2_Arts 7_Module3
differently. It can be a sleeveless subon and the sleeved lambong. The cloth used to
form these clothes is made of cotton which the tribal people plant and they color it with
an indigo dye extracted from the plant named tagom (inidigofera suffruticosa). The
Hanunuo men and women wear the hagkus or willed rattan belt with a pocket. Women
wear the hulon, a belt made from nito around their waist. The male Irayans, on the
other hand, wear bahag or loin cloth which is tailored from tree bark, the kaitong or
belt, and the talawak or head band. The females wear tapis or skirtllike covering from
tree bark also, the lingob or belt and the sagpan or pamanpan to cover the breast.
The outfits and attire worn by the prominent natives of MIMAROPA manifest
the different elements incorporated in it including the complex combinations of lines,
texture of the fabric, the value and the color of the textile used. Truly, even the most
indigenous reflect the absolute beauty of the region’s cultural heritage.

The photos above are blue and white-colored balukas, the ethnic attire of
Mangyan, with a hand-stitched pakudos design.

In terms of crafts, accessories and body ornamentations, the MIMAROPA

region is known for its excellent produce. Common among the men of Palawan are
skillful wood carvers while the children and women are proficient weavers beginning
at their early age. They were trained through seeing the old folks and observing the
crafts made by their elders. Another craft that is common among the people of Cuyo,
Palawan is “binatuan”weaving. The word, being Cuyonin in origin means “creation”.
This craft proves that they are naturally inclined to create native products that show
their innate gift in harnessing the indigenous materials into useful ones.

Young Palawano boys and girls are trained to weave at an early age. The males
are assigned to gather and prepare the materials while women are tasked to
accomplish the actual weaving. A famous handicraft produced by the Palawenos is
called tingkop. Tingkop is a cone- shaped colander harvest basket made of blackened
and natural bamboo. Made from soft and hard- woven strips of “buldong”, “binsag” and
“busnig” varieties of bamboo, held together by rattan to provide shape and sturdiness,

8 CO_Q2_Arts 7_Module3
this basket is also used by healers during a ritual called kundu to house the spirit of
Linamen, a beautiful and powerful female spirit.

It is a cone- shaped colander basket and is

one of the heritage art and craft original in
Palawan. This basket is occasionally made of
blackened and natural hard-strip bamboo which
makes the design stand out by creating diagonal
patterns and lines. The design is created by an
extremely subtle changing of the under-over
pattern of the bamboo strip. Using black and
natural color designs outside, the center of the
cone has bamboo strips skived slightly smaller,
creating even holes for the screen. What sets it
apart from other baskets is its cone-shaped cover.
This tingkop is an endangered inherited handicraft
tingkop due to the scarce preservation of the craftmanship.

Common among the crafts, accessories and body ornamentations found in

MIMAROPA is the incorporation of colorful materials that cover the products of a
specific place. With its unique taste for colors, materials and design, the place is truly
a haven of art and creativity.

When it comes to architecture, MIMAROPA has been known for its grandeur in
decorating and building sites that are formidable. Beginning with Marinduque,
Simbahan ng Boac has been considered a place of worship for the common people of
Boac, Marinduque. Having built in 1792 and initiated by a parish named Saturnino
Trinidad, this massive church facades a wall of rough terra cotta while the bell tower
is of cut adobe stones. The design is patterned to Filipino-Hispanic influence evident
in the semi-flattened roof, rounded arches over windows and door and stucco wall
exterior. The over-all appearance of the design is asymmetrical from roof to the floor
which is a common Spanish design.

9 CO_Q2_Arts 7_Module3
 This church was
built in 1792. Its massive
façade is made of rough
terra cotta blocks while
the bell tower is of cut
adobe stones. The
combined elements of
arts can be easily
perceived in the color,
testure and irregularity of
shapes in this
architecture.

Boac cathedral

WORDS TO REMEMBER:
Attic is a space or room just below the roof of a building

Balustrade is a railing supported by balusters, especially an ornamental wall on a

balcony, bridge or terrace.

Baroque is a style of European architecture and art from the 17th and 18th century
that is characterized by curved forms, oval shapes and the combination of concave
and convex forma to make walls appear bigger and moving.

Façade is the face of a building, especially the principal front that looks onto a
street.
Stucco is a fine plaster to cover the rough surface.
Terra cotta is typically a brownish-red material used in a building.

Retablo is a frame or shelf enclosing decorated panels above and behind the altar.

10 CO_Q2_Arts 7_Module3
 Built in the early 19th
century, these old houses are
the result of the combined
architecture of American and
Spanish designs. The Spanish
influence in the layout followed
the typical open ventilation and
elevated apartments. These
usually had solid stone
foundation or brick lower walls
and overhanging, wooden upper
story with balustrades and
capiz-shell sliding windows. On
the other hand, the American
influence is seen in the
alignment of paralleled wood
and four-corned roof
Old Houses in Pola, Oriental Mindoro
accentuated by an attic.

Common among the people of Mindoro is the leaning of the people to religious
principles. That enough is obvious in the erection of churches that last for decades or
even centuries, enough to prove the Catholic influence that is within the common folks.
Like for instance, is the Lumang Simbahan ng Sablayan, Occidental Mindoro. It was
established as a recollect parish in 1843 but was damaged by a tsunami in 1877. It
was later restored on the same year until 1879. Simple as it is from the outside, the
complete opposite of its design would be seen from the inside in its splendid mix up of
interiors, colors, ceiling contours and floor designs.

It was established as a
recollect parish in 1843 but was
damaged by a tsunami in 1877.
Looking at the outside, the church
has a rough wall of discolored
bricks while the inside shows the
prominent placement of lines and
opposite colors of ceiling and floor
in contemporary design.
Lumang Simbahan ng Sablayan, Occidental Mindoro

Palawan has been beautifully gifted with magnificent natural bestowments, and
when it comes to architecture, it is sure of its leaning to beautiful designs. Particular
among the people of today is the Iwahig Prison and Penal Colony. Established in 1904
by then American Governor of the Philippines Luke Wright, this penal colony was first
used to accept spillovers from Bilibid Prison. Built according to colonial architecture,
the gate is distinct in its arched design with small pediments above it. Made from

11 CO_Q2_Arts 7_Module3
massive bricks that could withstand time, this incredible infrastructure is still strong up
to this date.

The colonial influence in

the architecture is seen in the
stairs leading up to the entrance
with verandah and standard
columns. There is a wide and
open view from the inside to allow
proper ventilation, common
among the Spanish- American
design.

Iwahig Prison

WORDS TO REMEMBER:

Verandah is an open walkway or standing area attached to

the side of a building.
Colonial architecture is an architectural style from a mother
country or colonizers that has been incorporated or adapted
into the buildings of settlement or colonies.

Byzantine Altar is an excessively, complicated, detailed

altar inside a church that contains grand details and designs
that originated from the Byzantine empire known today as
Istanbul, Turkey.

12 CO_Q2_Arts 7_Module3
 Romblon, aside from being the marble capital of the Philippines, is also blessed
with historical sites that were built during the Spanish times dating from 15 th century.
Those heritage sites are still intact up to this date, including the Fort San Andres,
Romblon, Romblon.

This fort has towers which

give the visitors a complete and
spectacular view of the entire
harbor. Constructed in 1645, this
fort served a significant role in the
history of the province. It was
made from coral stones, being the
local material available, piled in
parallel pattern.

Fort San Andres, Romblon

Romblon is known for being the Marble Capital and there is more to life than
that. Being blessed with the genius growth of fine marble in the mountainous sides of
the place, townsfolk are able to create a masterpiece of marble statues and marble
sculptures.

Masterpiece of marble
statues and marble sculptures
with smooth and fine textures.

The church is accentuated with

stained-glass of different colors,
Byzantine altar, religious paintings and
antique icons. The church tower makes
use of the old copper bell which was
part of the construction on 1640-1726.
The components of the church body
are bricks harnessed from corals.
St. Joseph Cathedral

13 CO_Q2_Arts 7_Module3
 In Romblon, St. Joseph Cathedral is known for its religious heritage. It is one
of the 26 colonial churches in the 15th century declared as National Cultural Treasures
in 2001 and is considered as the oldest Catholic church in the province.
By looking at the design of the tower, the Spanish colonial influence can be
easily perceived beginning with its semi-circle structure from foundation up to the
tower end, the open arched windows and the ledge of each progressive level.
The inside of the church has much more details than its outside. Its unique
features contain marble retablos, religious paintings, antique icons and pillars gilded
with golden color at the upper end.

Are you in awe after traversing the different places in MIMAROPA? I am sure
you are! Well, I am delighted to tell you that there is a lot more as you continue reading
this module.
Let us now tour the wonderful places in Visayas!
Visayas has been richly endowed with fine crafts that set them at par with the
rest of the arts and produce of any other places. Drifting from attires, crafts and
accessories, architectures, sculptures and everyday objects, one can see the beauty
created from the complex combinations of different art elements which
comprise a beautiful masterpiece.
The following are the art products of the known places in Visayas:
In Panay, the tumandok are the native or indigenous dwellers who are gifted
with the skills in making patadyong, a wrap-around piece of cloth worn by women as
skirt and is usually paired with a kimona. It is often colorful and features linear and
geometric designs.
Kimona represents the fashion of Visayas, typically transparent with its clothing
made from pineapple fiber. The kimono dress is often accompanied with a
handkerchief called tubao and is often placed above the right shoulder. Sinumbrahan
na Pula is a traditional red blouse worn by tumandok women while Koton is a blouse
embroidered with designs that shows the community’s traditional life.
Adding more to the vibrancy of Panay culture is the panubok, the traditional
embroidery of Panay-Bukidnon or tumandok. It comes from the local word “tubok”
which means “to embroider”. The embroidery has different designs and patterns
inspired by what they see in nature. Some of the designs are binunghay or design
from bamboo mat, Bulak Ka Bukinggan or mountain flowers, Sudli Kama or skin/scales
of a python snake, Matang Punay or the eye of a bird, Sikag-sikag or fishbone, Bulak
ka Putik or sunflower and Tanum plants.
Weaving is the primary form of arts and crafts in the island even before the
Spaniards came to the Philippines. It was once tagged as the “Textile Capital of the
Philippines”

14 CO_Q2_Arts 7_Module3
 It is the traditional embroidery of
Panay-Bukidnon. Weaving is the
primary form of arts and crafts in the
island even before the Spaniards came
to the Philippines. It was once tagged
as the “Textile Capital of the
Philippines”. The product has
wonderful lines, bright colors and
various shapes which make it distinctly
Panubok unique.

With bright colors and lines, this

cloth is usually used in Binanog (dance
of Panay-Bukidnon. It is designed with
panubok, a combination of
matangpunay and fishbone.

Panyo

It is also an important material in

the craft of Panay island particularly in
Aklan and Iloilo. Shells are bleached
and dried before being pressed or cut
into desired shapes.

Capiz Shell

Weaving from indigenous fibers such as jusi and piña became popular in the
latter part of the 19th century. Piña weaving is an age-old tradition in Aklan, the leading
manufacturer of piña cloth in the country including the weaving of baskets, trays, and
mats which became popular in the place.

15 CO_Q2_Arts 7_Module3
 BASEY, SAMAR is known for
its woven products such as mats,
wall decorations and the famous
colorful sleeping mats. This banig
has an exceptional amount of lines,
patterns, colors and shapes. The
mats are made of “tikog” leaves, reed
grasses that are found in swampy
areas which were dyed with various
colors and woven into designs.
banig

The colorful mats are more expensive than the simple ones. The weavers have
produced other products such as bags, decors, place mats, furniture matting, and
other adornments.

This church in Iloilo has been

known since its complete
construction in 1797. It served as a
refuge from the Moros. The
architectural design has a pre
dominance of baroque and local
artistic elements. Its façade employs
diverse relief motifs and periodic
styles. These are carved on local
limestones of soft yellow color.
The adobe used in the
building is made from silt and clay
that can only be found in this part of
Iloilo, giving the building a unique
Miag-ao Church
yellowish glow.

This fortress had been rebuilt from different times after being destructed and
damaged during the revolution in 1898 and the earthquake in 1948. It has been
described as a fortress baroque church. Baroque architecture is an incorporation of
curved forms, domes and oval shapes which made it bigger and higher. Baroque
architecture is a love child of Italian architecture and is renowned all across the world.

16 CO_Q2_Arts 7_Module3
 In terms of body
ornamentation, the Spaniards called
the Visayans “Pintados” or painted
ones. Tattooing is considered a
permanent body adornment and is
considered a symbol of male pride
and valor. With an exquisite balance
of shapes and lines, the Pintados
have given the country a unique
blend of their defined culture that is
mostly common in Cebu, Bohol,
Leyte, Samar and other parts of
Visayas.

Pintados

Art opens up the minds of people by simply looking at the different avenues that
it covers, be it from Architecture, Daily objects, Sculpture, Fabric and Body
ornamentation. It enables us to appreciate more the local offering of the mentioned
regions and its impact in our nationality as Filipinos. There is pride and glory in
perceiving how they have combined the different elements to create wonderful pieces
of artworks.
Now that you have discovered the splendid beauty and gifts of MIMAROPA and
Visayas, let us now assess your understanding of these by answering the activity
below. Good luck!

Activity #4: HERE WE GO A-FINDING

Directions: Decode the jumbled words encountered by Sally as she walks along the
souvenir streets of Palawan. Write your answers on your activity notebook.
As Sally walks along the pavements of Puerto Princesa City, she is thinking of
where to find the best souvenirs for her family when she returns to Mindoro. She is
excited but at the same time anxious. She has no idea on what to buy yet. Sally enters
the covered booth to look for some fancies. She is determined to find the 1.INEL. Her
grandmother said that it is distinct in its length and it can be straight or bent. As her
steps progress amid the noise and buffering of the vendors, she remembers the
second thing that she must be looking for, 2.TXTREUE. According to her granny, it
can be anything that is rough or smooth. Now that the place is getting noisier and the
crowd is getting thicker, she misses the 3.OLROC of the outside. Ahuh! She exclaims.
It’s another thing that she must be looking for! As far as she can remember, it can be
hue, value and intensity.

17 CO_Q2_Arts 7_Module3
 The place is getting full. The people are swarming as they look for souvenirs.
While walking, she remembers 4.ECSPA, an element defined as the positive and
negative depth achieved in an artwork. As Sally explores the inside of the flea market,
she saw various pieces of stones connected together which make necklaces and
anklets. The stones are of different sizes and weight. All of a sudden, she remembers
5.HAPES. She must be looking for it too! As her grandma said, it can be flat or limited
two dimensional and can vary from one to another. As she reaches the end of the
souvenir shop, she suddenly remembers the last thing that she must be looking for,
6.EVLUA. She recalls that it is the lightness and darkness of tones or colors.
When Sally reaches the end line of the souvenir market, she decides not to buy
the things she needed at that day but on the next.

That was a bit challenging, right? How was your experience after visiting
the regions of MIMAROPA and Visayas? Are you now ready to come home and
share everything that you have learned? Let us find out by answering another
