• Weaving is the art of interlacing threads or fibers to create
textile,fabric or other similar products.Philippine textiles
are often made from indigenous plants such as Piña,
Abaca,Manguey, and Cotton.

• Traditional weaving methods can still be seen in the
different towns in the Ilocos Region.Many of the woven
products such as blankets called Binakol and pinilian

Binakol Pinilian
• Binakol and Pinilian are brought to Manila and
abroad and sold as handicrafts. The ikat is a dyeing
process that involves resist-dyeing and dyeing to
achieve a desired pattern, after which the fibers are
the woven.
Ikat Resist-dyeing
• The ikat is the same dyeing process used by the tribal
groups of Mindanao like the T'boli, Bagobo,Mandaya,
etc.

Bagobo
• Their ikats are designed with stylized animal figures
such as birds, lizards, frogs and humans.
• The Bagobos add
beads to the woven
fabric to increase its
beauty.

• Basket weaving is
alive in the different
regions.
• Notable examples are the backpacks of the Mandaya
tribe in Eastern Mindanao and the decorated bags of
the Bagodo.

Bagpacks Decorative bags

• Also worth mentioning are the woven basket of
the Tagnanua Tribe in Palawan with their iconic
conical cover called basag.
• Another weaving decorative art is mats. These tradional
floor covering typically made of pandan, swamp grass,
bamboo, and palm leaf provide cool relief from the
country's humid environment.

METAL
WORKS
• Metalwork is the art of
creating and
manipulating metal to
create various items
such as
jewelries,weapons, etc.
• Based on archaeological records and recovered artifacts,
the Filipinos were skilled metalworkers.

• Many amazing jewelries and ornaments discovered from

different sites prove the early Filipinos' talent.

• Perhaps the most remarkable of the find is the collection of

precolonial gold jewerly that consists of ornaments,
earrings, necklaces, gold-woven belts and sashes.

Belts Sashes
• Although many have been lost, the remaining ones
displayed at the Ayala Museum show the mastery and
technical skill of the early Filipino metalsmiths.
• Metal ornaments and jewerly are found in different
regions.
• These are often considered as one's prized possession
and are passed from generation to another.
• Metalwork found in the country comes in different forms.
• These can come as the tiny bells by the Bagodo that they
attach to their possession and small brass or gold jewerly
pieces like necklaces decorated with animals figured.
 • The Maraos from
Tugaya, Lanao del Sur
are the largest
manufacture of
brassware in the
Philippines.

• One of their most

popular products is the
gador and decorated
brass urns made
using the lost-wax
process.
• It is good that many of our tradional decorative arts and
crafts are still made today.

• Demands from local and foreign patrons have kept it

alive.

• But continuous efforts and patronage have to be made to

make sure these ethnic traditions survive for future
generations to experience and appreciate.
THANK YOU!
