• The origin of the bulul wooden figures can be traced to the
story of Namtogan. Although bululs are now produced and sold
as a variety of souvenir items or decorative art, it is a
fundamental part of Ifugao culture. Bulul plays an important
role in the agriculture of the Ifugao people.

• This piece was carved from one piece of

"Mother and Child" by Napoleon
Veloso Abueva

female figure in a sitting position, admiring
her infant while he clings on her head. We
take pride in this sculpture as it is one of the
few created in adobe by Napoleon V. Abueva
who is known to many as the Father of
Modern Philippine Sculpture.
