REFLECTION

Art is an inseparable element of culture since time immemorial, and every culture has its own
form of art. This is deeply anchored to one’s culture as a form of expression, usually in aesthetic
purposes; or a way of communicating and giving a message to everyone. The existence of
different cultures makes the Philippine unique and diverse, as the exotic forms of art are
expressed differently.
In the hinterlands of Cordillera, while the slowly phasing out traditional tattooing is
practiced by the only remaining ‘mambabatok” in Kalinga, the wood carving tradition remains
active in Abra and is being used in decorating houses, hotels and other establishments. Down to
Southern Luzon particularly in Mindoro, the elder Mangyans passed their rich artistic heritage
(usually in the form of poetry) to the younger generations.
In Visayas, weaving is the typical expression of art in Panay, Negros and Samar islands,
as seen in their products such as mats, bags and hats made by the folks. In the case of Bohol
island, jewelry and pot making are common in some of its towns. Artworks from capiz shells are
found in Panay.
In Mindanao, aside from the ethnolinguistic groupings, there are two classification of the
indigenous residents: the Moros and the Lumads. In Moro art, depicting humans and animals in
art is considered a taboo because of the teachings of Islam. However, various groups have their
own designs and practice in expressing art without compromising the religious teachings, such as
the use of geometric designs in weaving as of the Yakans and Tausugs; and fern-like design or
okir and an abstractive sarimanok among Maranaos (which is also shared with Maguindanaoans
and Iranuns). For the Lumads, their expression of art depends on the theme, mostly about nature,
courtship, epics and sometimes from their dreams, such as the T’nalak made by the T’Boli
dreamweavers.
Although art expressions differ among cultures, they are still considered part of this
country’s heritage that we must be proud of. They must be preserved, protected and shared to the
forthcoming generations, for art is the lifeline of the culture.
