their province of origin:

Mindoro 1. Higantes
2. Ukit
There are seven 3. Balisong
native groups living in Mindoro. Collectively they call
4.
themselves Mangyans. TheseCalado
groups are different from each other based on their
5. Kiping
language, customs and ways of living. The groups living on the Southern part are
called Hanunuo-Mangyan which means “true/ real/ genuine” Mangyan while the

heritage. 1. D

3. B
4.- D A bamboo tube or slat containing the Ambahan, a
5. D rhythmic, poetic expression with a meter of seven
syllables. This is presented through recitation and
chanting without a determined musical pitch or
accompaniment. Its purpose is to express in a
symbolic way a situation or certain characteristics by
the one reciting the poem.

- A woven basket, called Iraya Basket made of dried

nito grass and forest vines is a popular and unique
artwork of Iraya-Mangyans. It shows intricate
patterns and designs commonly represent humans,
animals, trees and other objects.

Marinduque

- The Moriones Festival in Marinduque is a much-

awaited Lenten tradition that is celebrated every Holy
Week. “Morion” means masks that are made from

8
 wood or papier-mâché adorned with colorful shells,
animal hairs, tassels and crepe papers. People who
act as Roman soldiers during the festival wear these
masks together with vest, capes and wooden shields.

- a basket/ bag made of buli (buri palm) and raffia

shows the artistry in weaving of the Marinduqueños.
This skill has been passed on from generation to
generation, making use of the materials that grow
abundantly in their area.

- weaving is also a popular art craft in Romblon

Palawan
This part of the Philippines is known as the country’s last frontier. It is rich
in cultural and natural diversity. It is said that the first inhabitants of Palawan are
the Tagbanuas. They have their own writing system that they use to communicate
with each other. Like the Hanunuo-Mangyans, they use their writing system to
write their own history.

- Tingkop is a cone-shaped colander harvest basket

made of blackened and natural bamboo. The

9
 extremely subtle changing of the under-over pattern
of the bamboo strips makes the design stand out and
certainly displays their craftsmanship in weaving

- Black Wood sculptures of animals are well-known

products of the Tagbanuas. These are used in rituals
or as toys for children.
