For the facilitator:

Welcome to the MAPEH 7 Self Learning Module 1 on Arts and Crafts of

Mindanao!

This Self Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by
educators from Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its Officer-In-Charge
Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A. Agustin in partnership
with the Local Government of Pasig through its mayor, Honorable Victor Ma. Regis
N. Sotto. The writers utilized the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum using the
Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) while overcoming their personal,
social, and economic constraints in schooling.

This learning material hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims to help
learners acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs namely:
Communication, Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking and Character while
taking into consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of
the module:

MODULE 1 OVERVIEW OF MINDANAO AND THE
TRADITIONAL CLOTHING OF B’LAAN

OVERVIEW

Mindanao, referred to as “The Land

of Promise”, is the second largest and
southernmost island in the Philippine
archipelago.
Mindanao also has the largest
concentration of ethno linguistic groups
and culturally diverse islands. These groups are mostly Muslims from the
Badjao, Iranun, Jama Mapun, Kalagan, Kalibugan (Subanen who were
converted to Islam), Manobo, 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 believed 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 conversion of the natives and the arrival of Muslim
traders and merchants resulted in new forms of artistic expressions. This
fusion of beliefs created a unique blend of spirituality and creativity.

In this module, you will learn how animism and the Islamic religion
fused together and produced a uniquely Filipino artistic tradition. And also
you will better understand how lines, shapes, forms, value, color, texture,
and space give more meaning and significance to an artwork.

THE TRADITIONAL CLOTHING OF B’LAAN

The Bilaan or B’laan is an
ethnolinguistic group that inhabit some
parts of South Cotabato, North Cotabato,
and Davao del Sur.
B’laan is a combination of two
words, “bila” which means “house” and
“an”, which means “people”. They are
known for embroidery, brass ornaments
and beadwork that are integrated in
their traditional clothing.
The B’laan wear clothes woven from
abaca embellished with embroidery,
buttons, and beads.
The women wear heavy brass belts
with numerous tiny bells that hang around
their waistline. These produce pleasing
chiming sounds when they move. They also
cut mother of pearl into small shapes that
look like sequins called takmun to form
geometric patterns. The B’laans, like the Bagobos and the T’bolis, 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 – shades of black or brown, red or ochre (darker shade of
orange), and ecru (the color of the undyed abaca). The B’laans put high
value on their textile. For example, blankets are considered as an important
part of the bride’s dowry.
