 LESSON

DAY 4: Arts and Crafts of Mindanao: Architecture.

According to google, Architecture is a noun which means; “the complex or

carefully designed structure of something.” On the other hand, let’s find out what does
the Arts and Crafts of Mindanao do have in their Architectures.
TOROGAN – The ancestral house of the
upper-class Maranao. It is the dwelling
place of the datu along with his wives and
children. There could not be any house
larger than torogan of the datu within the
sultanate, for this signifies rank, prestige
and wealth. The National Museum has
declared the Maranao torogan, specifically
the kawayan torogan as one of the
National Cultural Treasures through
Museum Declaration No. 4-2008.

PANOLONG –
A wing-like ornament of a torogan flaring
out from the beams. This okir carving
usually features the naga or serpent,
pakorabong or stylized fern, as well as
floral and star-and-bud motifs.

BADJAO HOUSES–
Is also known as Sama-Bajau, are the “Sea
Gypsies” or nomads of the Sulu Sea. Their
main source of livelihood is fishing and
hunting, thus, most of them live in boat
houses or houses on stilts around the
Sulu Archipelago.
 Grand Mosque of Cotabato – named as
the Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Masjid
is the largest mosque in the Philippines
sitting near the idle banks of Tamontaka
River. This is founded by the Philippine
Government and the Sultan of Brunei, for
whom the masjid was named. It occupies
5000 square meters of a five-hectare land.
The four minarets stand at a towering 43
meters high (more or less 15-story
building).

Fort Pilar of Zamboanga –

Is also called as Real Fuerza de Nuestra
Señora del Pilar de Zaragosa and was
founded in 1635 and still stands strong
until today. It was engineered by Fr.
Melchor de Vera, a Jesuit priest. It was
built to protect the people from pirates of
the Sulu Sea.

Monastery of the Transfiguration of

Bukidnon – Located at top of the hill of
Malaybalay Bukidnon, founded by Fr.
Abbot Eduardo Africa and run by the
Benedictine Monks. The pyramid-like
structure was designed by the National
Artist for Architecture, Leandro Locsin. It
is one of his last designs and considered
as one of his best, aside from Cultural
Center of the Philippines and Davao
International Airport.

Santo Rosario Church of Camiguin –

Located at the town of Sagay, Camiguin
Island. The original church was built in
1882 using coral stones, but the old
infrastructures were too weak. It was
retrofitted with steel bars using modern
building techniques. The unique things
you can find in the church are the
driftwood chandeliers and altars.

The builders used local materials, particularly woven bamboo

skin which highlights the local traditions of the island.
