1. Get at least 10 important keywords mentioned in


the webinar and provide their definition. 

-Mangunggul Jar- is a secondary burial jar excavated from a Neolithic burial


site in the Manunggul cave of the Tabon Caves at Lipuun Point in Palawan,
Philippines. It dates from 890–710 B.C. and the two prominent figures at the
top handle of its cover represent the journey of the soul to the afterlife. 

-Callao Cave- one of 300 limestone caves located in the Barangays


of Magdalo and Quibal in the municipality of Peñablanca, about 24
km northeast of Tuguegarao City, the capital of Cagayan province. 

-Lingling-o or ling-ling-o- is a type of penannular or double-


headed pendant or amulet that has been associated with various late
Neolithic to late Iron Age Austronesian cultures. 

-Maritime Culture- preserves and protects valuable historical, cultural,


and archaeological resources within our coastal, marine, and Great
Lakes environments. Maritime heritage can also include the stories of
indigenous cultures that have lived and used the oceans for thousands of
years. 

-Paraw- are various double outrigger sail boats in the Philippines. It is a


general term and thus can refer to a range of ship types, from small fishing
canoes to large merchant lashed-lug plank boats with two outriggers propelled
by sails. 

-Karakoa- were large outrigger warships from the Philippines. They were used


by native Filipinos, notably the Kapampangans and the Visayans, during
seasonal sea raids. 

-Orion's Belt or the Belt of Orion- also known as the Three Kings or Three


Sisters, is an asterism in the constellation Orion. It consists of the three bright
stars Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka. 

-Laguna Copperplate Inscription- the earliest known evidence for written


literature in the history of the Philippines, the Laguna Copperplate Inscription
is a sheet of copper metal with ancient writing discovered in the province of
Laguna in 1989. It was found by a dredger working near the mouth of the
Lumbang River emptying out into Laguna de Bay. 

-Bagani- traces its Austronesian roots back to the Proto-Malayo-Polynesian


word “barani,” which means “hero or war-leader,” also “dare to do.” It has
many derivatives in the Philippines — the “bayani” as adjective in
Kapampangan (brave, strong), and as noun in Tagalog (hero). 

-Batek- is the Kalinga term for the traditional tattoos, or inscriptions


found on their skin. The batek of the Kalinga are known for their symmetry
and elaborate tattoo designs. ... No longer practiced, the batek of the Ilubo is
a visually powerful rendering of symmetry and unity of designs. 

2. Summarize the webinar in a maximum of 10 sentences only. 


 
History is written by the foreigners which they wrote that Filipinos were called
as backward in civilization. Our colonizers wrote our history for many years
and because of that we have a different view of ourselves. One of the
buildings is called National Museum of Anthropology- where we can find the
representation of our ancestors.  
There are theories about how the foreigners arrived here in our country which
is the Philippines. So, if we see our country having many languages and
cultures diversified, we must remember that all of this came from our
ancestors which are the Austronesians. It is easy for them to travel by the
sea that’s why in the navigation, they use stars and heavens, even before the
constellations were introduced by the colonizers. Because of this elaborate
maritime culture, they were able to build connections. They also have
organized governments or alliances that were able to build the Sandugo or
blood compact by the Datus. They also have the culture to praise saints for
the good health and giving thanks for the blessings that they received. Our
ancestors also believed that the person has two
parts- panloob and panlabas which they so much
value that brotherhood/sisterhood, matuwid na kaluluwa or kapatiran which
makes people unite and suppose to love each other. 
 
3. Provide your short critique or reflection in 5 sentences only. 
 
Coming back to the basic understandings of the concept of our culture, I can
conclude that it covers diverse aspects. In the first place, the idea that culture
is valued through our ancestors and we should be knowledgeable enough to
understand on how we get or have these cultures beforehand. Secondly, it is
important to recognize the multiple referents of the concept of culture,
including objects, knowledge and abilities. All of the meanings of culture
were maintained but they were extended to include the entirety of human
production and all social behavior. That’s why I am very honored and proud to
our ancestors who brought us these cultures to us.
