What is It

Luzon was originally inhabited by Negritos before Austronesians from Taiwan

scattered and displaced them. The Austronesian groups were divided into two types

of nations; coastal lowland states or highland civilizations. Highland civilizations were

based in the mountains and had built up plutocracies based on agriculture, such as

the Igorot Society which is responsible for building many of the rice terraces in

the Cordillera Mountains, among the most notable being the Banaue Rice Terraces.

Meanwhile, coastal states were split among Hindu-

Buddhist kingdoms, Muslim principalities, and ethnoreligious tribes, who had trading

connections with Borneo, Java, Sumatra, Malaya, Indochina, Bengal, India, Korea,

Okinawa-Japan and China, before the Spaniards established their rule.

This historical fact made up one of the many factors that affected the variation

of people’s culture, traditions, and history which eventually rippled to other aspects

such as arts and crafts.

Let us revisit how the various region from the Highlands and Lowlands of Luzon

develop their distinct arts and architectural processes, styles, designs, motifs. The

elements and principles of arts of these fascinating arts and crafts will lead you to

understand the rich culture and tradition of the Philippines that is handed down from

generation to generation.

PART 1: ARTS AND CRAFTS OF ILOCOS REGION AND CORDILLERA

ADMINISTRATIVE REGION (CAR)

ILOCOS REGION

➢ Architecture Architecture is defined to be the art and technique of designing and building. The practice of architecture is employed to fulfill both practical and expressive requirements, and thus it serves both utilitarian and aesthetic ends.

• Vigan, considered as the “Intramuros of the North”, retains the Spanish colonial architecture along its narrow and cobblestoned streets known as Calle Crisologo.

• These old Spanish-type houses have huge, high-pitched roofs, large and rectangular living rooms that are made of adobe, bricks, lime, terracotta, hardwood floors, and windows of shells framed in wooden window panels.

This is the interior of the Florendo Ancestral Home located along Calle Crisologo.

➢ Textile

• Inabel is a hand-weaving technique using traditional wooden looms. The different designs represent different meanings: the dizzying “Binakol” weave represents the waves of the sea. They believe that it protects them from bad spirits.

• The Inabel designs are inspired by natural elements: patterns that depict different landforms, the colors of flowers and vegetation, plaid, zigzags, animal patterns, the ocean waves, or the glittering night sky.

➢ Pottery

• Burnay is an unglazed earthen jar with a small opening.

• It is used for storage for water and rice grains and as a container for salt, brown sugar, Basi (local wine), and bagoong (fermented fish).

• Potters mix fine gravel, sand, and ashes and fire the clay to make the Burnay heavy duty and sturdy.

• The designs are simple. Sometimes, curved patterns can be found around the shoulders of the jar. They also prick the jar with a stick while it is still soft to make the surface more interesting.

CORDILLERA ADMINISTRATIVE REGION (CAR)

-KALINGA-

➢ Textile

• The natives of Kalinga are skilled weavers

• One of their finest products is their textile which is characterized by red stripes and white yellow and black geometrical patterns. Kalinga women wear the wrap-around skirt or Tapis called “Kain” which reaches below the knee.

• The colors used in their textile have cultural meanings: red signifies bravery; black is for the soil or land; white is for the flowers of the coffee trees; yellow for the sand; and green for the mountains.

➢ Basketry

• The basketry of the Kalinga shows their fine craftsmanship. The Labba is a bowl-shaped basket made from rattan, with sizes that vary from 20-150 cm in diameter.

➢ Tattooing

• Tattooing is another form of art of the Kalingas. Because by tradition, it usually covers the chest and the arms, it may be considered as clothing and decoration. It also signifies a rite of passage from youth to adulthood, a mark of heroism, and bravery, and one’s status in the community.

• Nowadays, even with the native Kalinga people, the tattoo became less strict and may have their tattoos as they wish. Some native Kalingas especially the younger generation don’t get a tattoo since they believe that the outside world would deem it negatively.

• It is used in rituals that are performed to call the ancestors to protect their rice fields from pestilence and to ask for an abundant harvest.

• It is a carved wooden human figure with simplified forms.

• The Bul’ ul is usually made of Narra wood, which signifies wealth, happiness, and well-being to the Ifugao.

• The amulets of Ifugao are called lingling-o or dinumug. These are made from jade, gold, copper, bronze, stone, and other materials. These are fertility symbols worn around the neck.

PART 2: ARTS AND CRAFTS OF CAGAYAN VALLEY AND CENTRAL LUZON

CAGAYAN VALLEY

➢ Batanes

• The Ivatans are the people living in the

Batanes Group of Islands. Their houses

have unique architectural forms made up of

limestone walls, reed, and cogon roofs. The

design and materials were chosen because

they are strong enough to withstand the

numerous typhoons and earthquakes that hit

the group of islands because of their

geographic location.

leaves, scallops, saint, religious

symbols, and other fanciful motifs. The

unique cylindrical belfry of the church

looks like a huge wedding cake

because of its design motifs like laces,

hearts, and beads.

➢ Bulacan

• Bulacan arts and crafts include the Singkaban, pastillas wrapper, fire

crackers and goldsmithing in Meycauayan

• The old women cut intricately designed pastillas wrapper with different

linear, curvilinear, and geometric patterns that depict local floras and

scenes of everyday rural life.

• Singkaban is the local term for bamboo arches designed with kayas or

wood shaving. These are used as decorative arches that adorn the

entrance to a barangay or town where a fiesta or any grand celebration is

being held.

What I Can Do

ACTIVITY: “Luzon reminds me of my locality”

The arts of Luzon resemble a huge chunk of how Filipinos value arts concerning

many of our day-to-day activities. You might have noticed that some of the arts and

crafts featured in this lesson are also found in your locality. The art forms found in the

various regions of Luzon include architecture, sculpture, and woodworking, painting,

textile, pottery, and handicrafts, etc.

In this activity, let’s test how well you know your local art culture concerning the

arts and crafts of Luzon. Choose one (1) among the artforms given above which you

think has/have a specific resemblance to the artforms that also exist in your locality.

Example:

You are from “Compostela, Cebu”, then you realize that the Catholic Church of Compostela

resembles that of the Tumauni Church in Isabela because of the use of bricks in its

construction, so you will choose “architecture”.

The rest of the information can be answered through the guide questions below.

1. What artform in your locality can you compare to the Arts of Luzon?

___________________________________________________________

2. What specific art product/structure from Luzon is similar to the product/structure

in your locality?

___________________________________________________________

3. How can you say that these art products/ structures from Luzon and that of your

locality are similar in terms of “art elements” ? “art principles”?

____________________________________________________________

____________________________________________________________

4. Although you might think they are very similar, to what aspects make them

different?

____________________________________________________________

5. Can you show that sample product/ picture of the structure side by side with the picture of the product of Luzon?

Note: This item may vary from the availability of student’s resources.

A) If you are capable of taking pictures or print images from the internet, you may search for a photo of the product or structure and print it together with the art product from Luzon you are comparing it from.

B) If you have no printing resource, you may look for pictures from locally published magazines (perhaps an old tourism magazine of your locality), old newspapers, or possible printed materials from local activity program.

C) If the art product is fairly small, you may paste or attach it to your answer sheet.

D) If everything else is not doable, your last option is to draw a picture of the art product or

structure. You may find somebody else to help you with the drawing.
