and the Well-known Filipino Artist

Indigenous Philippine Arts

¨ Manunggul Jar is one of the known indigenous arts in the Palawan. It is likewise
considered as one of the national treasures of the Philippines. This 2800 years old jar
was founded by Dr. Robert b. Fox and Miguel Santiago in 1962
¨ This Tapayan (jar) is a secondary burial jar found in Tabon cave, one of the
Manunggul caves in Palawan. It is used by ancient people of Palawan in burying their
deaths around 890-710 B.C. It features a vessel carrying two human figures in sitting
position with one behind steering the boat and the other waiting to reach the afterlife.

¨ The Bulul or bul-ul is a carved Anito figure of the Ifugao who represents their
ancestral spirit and granary god. It is carved wooden figure from narra tree
and it used to guard the rice crop from rats, thieves, and spoilage by the
Ifugao people of the northern province.
¨ According to Ocampo (2016), the bulul was created by a deity known as
Humidhid who lives in Daiya.
¨ “Humidhid was disturbed by the crying of a narra tree that wanted to be
carved into bulul. He cut the tree and made several bulul that he brought into
his house. When these bulul became too demanding of food and wine, he
threw them into the river where they floated downstream to Lagud and were
forgotten. Many years later, Humidhid’s daughter, Bugan, followed her lime
container that fell into the river and reached Lagud where it was returned to
her by a bulul. They fell in love, got married and had children. One of the
children of Bugan and the bulul went upstream to visit Humidhid, who realized
that the bulul had become human (or rather half-human). He advised his
grandchildren to carve bulul whenever they travelled to earth for protection.
So it came to be that one of Humidhid’s grandchildren carved bulul out of a
narra tree, and it later demanded too much food and drink. Humidhid
appeared to his grandchild in a vision and advised that the bulul be given a
separate house. Thus were bulul placed in granaries” (Ocampo, 2016).

Mala-a-walay (the big house), picture at the center, and the Lawig (the small house).
¨ The Torogans are elevated from the ground using tukod or hard tree trunks of huge girth. At the center is the
tapuwilin post surrounded by twenty-five others at the base. Each support stands on careful assemblage of
huge stones half-buried on the ground which likewise serve as shock absorbers making the house sturdy in
times of earthquake or strong winds.
¨ Under the wooden beams, a multi-purpose ground space is allotted, called it dorung. The second floor is
considered as the main house and it is called the poro, an open space partitioned only with cloths and
chests.
¨ Toragan’s walls are made of gisuk and tartek (wall studs) which hold the walling planks (dingending). The
carved center beam inside the house called the tinal-a-walay which support the main post of the roof.

rampatan (beams) and adorned by a diogal on the top.

architectural painting, clothing, and other forms of fine arts. In the 13th century,
Traders and Missionaries introduce the religion Islam in the Philippines and the Islamic art integrates with the ethnic culture

group offers their own distinct flavor of Islamic art. This distinct arts are commonly seen in their homes, clothing and places
of worship of Filipino Muslims (Santos, 2011).
Islamic architectures are seen from the different Mosques

have a common features that are similar with its Southeast Asian
neighbor. The early Mosques are made of light materials such as
wood, bamboo, and cogon grass but these materials did not last
long. Hence, today’s mosques are now structurally patterned after
the design of its Middle eastern counterparts. The traditional art
form known as Okkir is the only distinct characteristic of the Filipino
Muslim art found inside the mosques. The okkir (picture on the left
side) is believed to be of Hindi and Chinese influences. Like the
Torogan’s house of the Maranao, the Mosques also use geometric
and floral artwork called okkir and the most popular motif is the use
of an imagery of a dragon or serpent (Santos, 2011).

 ¨ Fernando Amorsolo (1892-1972) – As a Filipino
visual artist, his humble beginning as artist started
when his father, Pedro Amorsolo hit by stray bullet and
died. This tragedy compelled him to earn a living to
support his family as well his education. At age of
eleven, he drew sketches and sold them for 15
centavos while assisting his uncle, Fabian dela Rosa.
¨ In 1914, through his hard work as well as the support
by his mother, Bonifacia Cuento who did embroidery to
earn a living, Amorsolo earned his degree in fine arts
at the University of the Philippines School of Fine Arts.

he married Salud Jorge. By that time, he designed the
logo of Ginebra San Miguel, “Marca Demonio” (picture
on upper right side) which impressed Don Enrique
Zobel, owner of the beverage company and sent
Amorsolo to Academia de San Fernando in Madrid for
further studies but the academy accepted him as
professor not a student after evaluating his work.

impressionist and expressionist painters like Diego
Velaquez, El Greco, Francisco Goya, Edward Manet,

the rural areas of Antipolo, Marikina, and other locales
in outskirts of Manila where he painted landscapes
(see paintings under “Marca Demonio”). The sufferings
brought by the war, like the execution of his younger
brother, Pablo by the Filipino guerillas, Amorsolo’s
style shifted to human suffering and tragedy (see
painting parallel to “Marca Demonio”)

Stream(1921)-GSIS collection; El Ciego (1928)-
Central Bank of the Philippines collection; Dalagang

The bronzes produced being delicately decorated with a diverse range of designs and motifs and were widely used in many
aspects of life, such as musical instruments, ceremonial offerings and weapons of war being of great significance in the
history of China.

Shu, Xiang, and Yue. It is also an accomplished skill for the ethnic minority groups such as the Bai, Bouyei and Miao.

Regarded as an artistic marvel, the kite makers' skill in both painting and in the design of the kites' flexible flying movement
are well renowned.
