ILOCOS REGION (Region I)
Vigan, considered as the “Intramuros of
https://bit.ly/3hFjeY8
the North,” retains the Spanish colonial architecture
along its narrow and cobble-stoned 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 capiz shells framed in wooden window panels.
Inabel is a hand weaving technique of the Ilocanos
that is produced using traditional wooden looms. The
different designs represent different meanings: the
dizzying “binakol” weave represents the waves of the sea.
They believe that this design protects them from bad
spirits.
Burnay is an
https://bit.ly/2WYUq5w unglazed earthen jar with
small opening. It is used for storage for water and rice
grains and as container for salt, brown sugar, basi
(local wine) and bagoong (fermented fish).
The potters mix fine gravel, sand and ashes and fire
the clay to make the burnay heavy and sturdy. https://bit.ly/2WYVaHQ
CORDILLERA ADMINISTRATIVE REGION (CAR)
Kalinga
The natives of Kalinga are skilled weavers. One
of their finest products is their textiles, which is
characterized by red stripes and white, yellow and
black geometrical patterns. Women from Southern
Kalinga wear the wrap-around skirt or tapis called
https://bit.ly/39CeLm3 kain, which reaches below
the knee. It is worn below the abdomen, and when they
walk, one of the thighs is exposed. The women of Northern
Kalinga wears saya, an ordinary woman’s skirt covering the
body from waist to feet. On the other hand, the basketry of
the Kalinga shows their fine craftsmanship. The labba is a
bowl-shaped basket made from rattan, with sizes that
https://bit.ly/2ZZYcxb
vary from 20 to 150 cm in diameter.
4
Tattooing is another form of art of
Kalinga, called “batok”. It signifies a rite of
passage from youth to adulthood, a mark of
heroism, and bravery and one’s status in the
community. The design consists of geometric
patterns and lines. Wang-od is the last
“mambabatok” or traditional Kalinga tattoo
artist. She uses a mixture of charcoal and water
https://bit.ly/3f5p7fn that is tapped onto the skin through a thorn
end. The painful tattoo technique is said to be a thousand years old and can only be
passed on through bloodline.
Ifugao
The term Ifugao means “natives or people of the
Cordillera.” The bul’ul is a wooden sculpture that
represents the rice granary spirits. 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
carved-wooden human figure with simplified forms. These
are dipped in the blood of pigs during a ritual called tunod,
which means “planting the seedlings in the soil.”
The amulets of the
Ifugaos are called lingling- https://bit.ly/2DcmgnO
o or dinumug. These are made from jade, gold,
copper, bronze, stone and other materials. These are
fertility symbols worn around the neck.
https://bit.ly/2OY4Z47 Mountain Province
The province is known for their burial cloth,
kadangyan, woven by female elders. The traditional
attire for men is called wanes. The women use a short
and narrow wrap-around skirt called lufid, which
extends from the navel to the knees, and has a side
opening.
Married women of Bontocs and Kankanay in the
Northern Cordillera wear a type of belt called
ginaspalawanes. These are adorned with designs https://bit.ly/2EnuOZu
composed of continuous zigzag patterns woven in double-faced with braided warps
that end as tassels.
5
Abra
The Tingguians weave textiles for clothes and
blankets. They are noted for their white textiles with
horizontal stripes found in the edges (like those in the
bankudo or wrap-around skirts) or vertical stripes in the
center (like those found in the balwasi or female blouse.)
https://bit.ly/39t9sW7
CAGAYAN VALLEY
Batanes
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 are chosen because they https://bit.ly/39w5ax3
are strong enough to withstand the numerous typhoons and earthquakes that
frequently hit the group of islands because of its geographic location.
Vakul is a head gear used by the Ivatan
women to protect them from the heat of the sun
and the rains. The men, on the other hand, wear
soot, a rain cape made from fronds that covers
the upper part of the body down from the neck.
This special clothing is made up of woven fibers
of the vuyavuy palm – a plant similar to coconut.
https://bit.ly/2ZZYcxb
Isabela
Isabela is one of the largest provinces in
the Philippines located in Cagayan Valley
region. It is host to a number of historical sites.
Tamauini Church is a Roman Catholic Parish
Church of San Matias Apostol. This Baroque
Church was built in 1873 and can be found in
the municipality of Tamauini, Isabela.
Nueva Vizcaya https://bit.ly/3g43PQC
Nueva Vizcaya is located near Ifugao, Benguet and
Quirino. The Gaddangs of Nueva Vizcaya are known for their
crafts and textiles. One of the clothes they make is the bakwat,
a belt used by mothers after giving birth. This cloth is usually
adorned on the central portion with white beads as accents
embellished in patterns that represent rivers and the mountains.

CENTRAL LUZON
Bulacan
During fiesta celebrations, women cut intricately-
designed pastillas wrappers adorned with different linear,
curvilinear, and geometric designs that depict local floras and
scenes of everyday rural life.
Singkaban is the local
https://bit.ly/2ZZYcxb
term for bamboo arches
designed with kayas or wood shaving. These are used
as decorative arches that adorn the entrance of a
barangay or town during fiestas and other grand
celebrations.
Meycauayan, Bulacan is known for its jewelry
industry. Craftsmen fashion trinkets from precious https://bit.ly/2ZZYcxb
metals such as gold and silver, and precious and semi-
precious stones, pearls and diamonds.
A jeweler is a person who makes, repairs, or sells
jewelry; traces jewelry designs to the metal; cuts, bonds
and shapes it to form jewelry pieces. Some designs (such
as those found in antique jewelries) are completely done
by hand because these cannot be done by machines.
https://bit.ly/39CU9u4
Pampanga
Pampanga is known for its giant lanterns
or parol. Its special feature is its dancing lights in
several shapes and colors that form intricate
geometric patterns.
The patterns change with the rotation of a
special rotor that controls the lights inside the
parol. The parol are used to adorn houses, streets
and buildings, not only in Pampanga but all over https://bit.ly/2D57peG
the Philippines during the Christmas season.

What’s More
Our arts and crafts do not only exist with no purpose. Each art and craft can be
classified accordingly. Body ornamentation, using body ornaments involve
decorating the body by wearing specific clothing, jewelry or even permanent paint like
tattoo. On the other hand, functional art refers to beautiful objects crafted with
utilitarian purposes. It serves specific function, while being designed artistically for the
purpose of displaying beauty. Meanwhile, architectural art is the technique of
designing and building beautiful structures which may later be considered an important
landmark in places. Lastly, seasonal art are crafts created specifically for a certain
occasion, season or festivity. They usually are symbols of these occasions.
Task 2: Identify the characteristics of arts and crafts from Northern and Central Luzon.
