Characteristics
of Arts and
Crafts in
MIMAROPA
 MIMAROPA
MIMAROPA is an
administrative region consists
entirely of island provinces
located in the Southwestern
Luzon. The term MIMAROPA is
a combination of the names of its
constituent provinces namely
Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon
and Palawan.
MIMAROPA
REGIONS
AND ITS
ARTS AND
CRAFTS
Art of Mangyan displays their rich,
artistic heritage.

Ambahan
❑ it is a rhythmic poetic expression with
a meter of seven syllables.
❑ presented through recitation or
chanting without a determined pitch
or accompaniment.
BASKET WEAVING
• is the main source of income in Puerto
Galera, Mindoro. They use Nito which refers
to the special vine that grows in the wild.
They make only what the earth allows
because Nito vine cannot be cultivated or
planted, ensuring the earth-friendly and
sustainable nature of their art. Each Nito
woven item is one-of-a-kind, with no single
design being exactly the same as the other. A
large basket takes roughly one week to
complete.
• The Moriones festival in Marinduque is a
week-long commemoration of the life and
death of Jesus Christ every Holy week.
Morion means masks that are made of wood
or paper-mache (papier-mâché). Some of
these woods come from Dap-dap or Santol tree
which are abundant in the province. Mask
makers get their wood mainly in nearby
forests. It takes months to carve each mask
which weighs at least two kilograms. The
participants use these masks to depict the
Roman soldiers escorting Christ on his way
to the Calvary.
• Romblon is known as the "Marble Country" because all the islands
comprising the province have marble. Quarries (the process of getting
marbles) on these islands produce raw marble for sculpture and
construction purposes. However, before the discovery of these marbles,
Romblon had been famous for its traditional weaving and basketry.
Handicrafts such as beautifully woven mats and bags are major home
industry for their women.
Manunggul Jar
❑ one of the most important ancient
artifacts from the Philippines. (890-
710 BCE)
❑ excavated in the early 1960’s
inside the Manunggul Cave, Lipuun
Point Palawan.
❑ the upper portion of the jar as well
as the cover is incised with
curvilinear scroll designs and
 TINGKOP
• is one of the unique heritage crafts
which are original in Palawan. It is a
cone-shaped colander harvest basket
which is made of hard-strip bamboo.
These baskets are occasionally made of
blackened and natural bamboo, which
make the designs stand out. The design
is created by an extremely refined
changing of the under-over pattern of
the bamboo strips
