[Audio] FIRST WE WILL DISCUSS THE ATTIRE , TEXTILES AND TAPESTRIES Attire, Textiles, and Tapestries
Mindanao Referred to as " The Land of Promise," is the second largest and the southernmost island in the Philippine archipelago. Mindanao also has the largest concentration of ethnolinguistic groups and culturally- diverse islands. These groups are mostly Muslims from Badjao, Iranun, Jama Mapun, Kalagan, Kalibugan ( Subanen who were converted to Islam), Monobo, Maguindanao, Sama Bangingi, Sama Pangutaran, Samal, Sangil, Tausug and Yakan groups. Other groups are the Lumads, or those who have maintained their indigenous beliefs and traditions instead of converting to Islam or Christianity. Some Lumad groups in Mindanao are the Bagobos and the T'bolis. Before Islam came to the Philippines, early Filipinos worshipped nature and believe that plants and inanimate objects are home to ancestral spirits. They also believed that natural phenomena are caused by gods. This indigenous belief system is called animism..

that inhabit some parts of South Cotabato, and Davao del Sur. Bilaan is a combination of two words, " bila," which means " house, and "an,"
which means " people." Bilaan wear clothes woven from abaca
embellished with embroidery, buttons, and beads.
They weave highly polished abaca textiles using
the ikat process. Ikat is a process of dyeing the fabric where the yarns are tightly wrapped with strings and dyed before weaving. The textiles usually contain three-colors- shade of black or brown, red, or ochre (darker shade of orange), and ecru (the color of the undyed abaca)..

[Audio] THE NEXT LESSON IS ALL ABOUT THE ARTIFACTS OF MINDANAO LESSON 2 : ARTIFACTS OF MINDANAO Maitum jar these jars and pots were discovered in some caves
of Mindanao and Palawan dated have been in existence since 5 BC, the
Maitum jars could very well have been one of the first creations of the Filipino race. These people could possibly have been of the first wave
of immigrants from Africa, passing to the Indian Ocean passing the Arabian
Peninsula, the Middle East, Australia and west towards Melanesia, from
there, their people of smaller stock then took small fishing vessels navigating
to as far as the South China Seas, and in the Philippines Island. B. Wooden Boats of Butuan, Agusan del Norte, Southern Mindanao. There are several " Wooden Boats" or " Balangays" discovered in Butuan,
Agusan del Norte, Southern Mindanao. The word " Barangay" was also
derived from the word balangay which refers to the smallest political and state community..

major languages of the Philippines. Early colonial Spanish dictionaries make it clear that balangay and barangay were
originally pronounced " ba-la-ngay" and " ba-ra-ngay", but due to
centuries of Spanish influence, the modern barangay is pronounced
"barang-gay" in Filipino today.

The jars are anthropomorphic characterized by a design that suggests human figures with complete or partial facial features of the first inhabitants of Mindanao. Furthermore, they give emphasis to the Filipinos' popular belief of life after death. TIboli Wood Carvings and Brass Casting and Pottery Artisans use the lost-wax casting method to produce more copies of sculpture with intricate designs such as bells, boxes and figures. The mold is made from wax then using this
mold, covers with clay. Molten brass is then poured into the clay cast which melts and replaces the wax to form the finished product..

They use them as a storage for their food when they need to go to mountain terraces to cultivate their lands. A basket is needed for
carrying grains, hunting animals, and fishing in the streams. Baskets
made of bamboo become their fish traps; the shape and size of baskets are according to the kind of fish they want to catch. Jewelry Since the early 16th century, jewelry making in the country has been
in existence. It is believed that the skill of our early Filipino in making
jewelry are adopted from their Asian neighbors like the Chinese. Jewelry-making is a source of livelihood for the family and it is
traditionally a home-based industry..

[Audio] Sarimanok The Sarimanok is a legendary bird of the Maranao people who originate from Mindanao, a major island in the Philippines and part of the Philippine Mythology. It comes from the words " sari" and " manok". " Sari" means "assorted", which is generally of assorted colors. " Manok" means " chicken". It has become a significant symbol of Maranao art. It is depicted as a fowl with colorful wings and feathered tail, holding a fish on its beak or talons. The head is profusely decorated with scroll, leaf, and spiral motifs. It is said to be a symbol of good fortune. I hope you will experience meaningful learning and gain a deep understanding of the lessons amidst the COVID- 19 pandemic.

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THE ARTS AND CRAFTS OF MINDANAO

FIRST WE WILL DISCUSS THE ATTIRE , TEXTILES AND TAPESTRIES

Mindanao Referred to as "The Land of Promise," is the second largest and the southernmost island in the Philippine archipelago.

Mindanao also has the largest concentration of ethnolinguistic groups and culturally- diverse islands.

These groups are mostly Muslims from Badjao, Iranun, Jama Mapun, Kalagan, Kalibugan (Subanen who were converted to Islam), Monobo, Maguindanao, Sama Bangingi, Sama Pangutaran, Samal, Sangil, Tausug and Yakan groups.

Other groups are the Lumads, or those who have maintained their indigenous beliefs and traditions instead of converting to Islam or Christianity.

Some Lumad groups in Mindanao are the Bagobos and the T'bolis.

Before Islam came to the Philippines, early Filipinos worshipped nature and believe that plants and inanimate objects are home to ancestral spirits.

They also believed that natural phenomena are caused by gods.

This indigenous belief system is called animism.

The textiles usually contain three-colors- shade of black or brown, red, or ochre (darker shade of orange), and ecru (the color of the undyed abaca).

The Traditional Clothing of the Bagobo and the T'boli

Bagobos are group of people that live in Davao.

According to anthropologists, the name of this ethnolinguistic

group comes from the words"bago" (new) and "obo" (growth).

This is because they are believed to have come from the mixture of the native population with the Hindu migrants that entered the Mindanao during the Sri Vijayan and Majapahit empires.They make their ceremonial clothes from special textileswoven from abaca fibers called t'nalak.

Their t'nalak is woven from deep brown abaca treated in the ikat process to obtain intricate designs.
