UNIT II: ARTS AND CRAFTS OF MIMAROPA AND VISAYAS GROUP OF

ISLANDS

MODULE 1: ARTS AND CRAFTS IN SPECIFIC AREAS IN MINDORO, MARINDUQUE,

ROMBLON AND PALAWAN (MIMAROPA)

MIMAROPA is called the southern Tagalog Region of the Philippines. It is

designated as Region IV-B until 2016. The term MIMAROPA is an acronym
combination of the names of its constituent provinces Mindoro, (divided into
Occidental Mindoro and Oriental Mindoro) Marinduque, Romblon and Palawan.
MIMAROPA’s arts and crafts depict the different aspects of their culture.

The region was created on May 17, 2002, after Region IV (Southern Tagalog) was
further sub-divided.
MAP OF MIMAROPA
MINDORO

There are seven native groups living in Mindoro. Collectively, they call
themselves Mangyans. These groups are different from each other based on their
language, customs and ways of living. The groups living in the Southern part are
called Hanunuo Mangyan which means “true/real/genuine” Mangyan while
another group is called Iraya-Mangyan.

The art of the Mangyans display their rich,

artistic heritage. One of their art forms is the
Ambahan, a 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 variation of this is the Urukay,
which uses eight syllables instead of seven.It is
frequently written in the bamboo tubes or slats.

The Iraya- Mangyan of Mindoro are fond of

making baskets with intricate patterns and designs of
humans, animals, trees, and other objects. It is made of
dried nito grass and forest vines, meticulously and
patiently woven to create these very unique baskets.

MARINDUQUE

The Moriones Festival in

Marinduque is a much awaited Lenten
tradition that is celebrated every Holy
Week. Morion” means mask that are
made from wood or papier- mâché,
adorned with colorful shells, animal
hairs, tassels, and crepe papers. People
who act as Roman soldier during the
festivals wear these masks together
with vest, capes and wooden shields.

Weaving is a skill that has been passed on through the years by the people of
Marinduque. Because of the abundance of the buli (buri palm) and raffia that grow
in their areas, these leaves become staple materials in the weaving of the
Marinduqueńos.
ROMBLON

Romblon is known not

only for its fine marble
products but also for
the beautifully woven
mats and bags out of
romblon plants.

PALAWAN

Palawan known as the country’s last frontier, is rich in cultural and natural diversity.
It is said that the first inhabitants of Palawan are Tagbanuas. They have their own
writing system that they use to communicate with each other. Like the Hanunuo and
Buhid Mangyans, they used their writing system to write their own history. The men
of Palawan are skillful wood carvers while children and women are proficient
weavers.

Tingkop is a cone- shape colander harvest basket

made up of blackened and natural bamboo. It displays their
craftsmanship in weaving. The extremely subtle changing of
the under-over pattern of the bamboo strips makes the
design stand out.

Tagbanua carvers are well known for their black wood

sculptures of animals with simple etched or incised features
exposing the original white grain of the wood. These are used
in ritual or as toys for children.

Manunggul Jar is one of the most important

ancient artifactsfrm the philippines (890-710 BCE) It was
excavated in the early1960’s inside the Manunggul Cave,
Lipuun Point,Palawan.The vessel is a secondary burial
jar as a container for the exhumed remains of the
deceased.The upper portion of the jar, as well as the
cover, is incised with curvulinear scroll design and
painted withnatural iron or hematite. On top of the jar
cover,is a boat with two human figures representing two
soul on a voyage to the afterlife.

 WRAP–UP

The arts and crafts of Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon and Palawan

(MIMAROPA) are a combination of designs from the indigenous people that resides
in the regions and the colorful and rich influence from the Spanish conqueror.
Most of their crafts are made from materials that are abundant in their areas. Their
designs are derived from their surroundings and represent their community.
Up to the present, the skills in weaving, pottery making, and sculpting have
been an important part of their community. These are passed on generation by
generation in the provinces of MIMAROPA. Even with the influence of high
technology, traces of their indigenous tradition and designs are still visible in their
arts and crafts today.
