MIMAROPA
The island provinces of Marinduque, Oriental Mindoro, and Occidental
Mindoro are known for their art of basketry and mat weaving.
In Marinduque, the art of making mats using raffias and buri is a popular
livelihood in the communities. Marinduque is also known for the Moriones
festival every Lenten season.
Romblon is not only known for its marble crafts but
also for their sense of artistry in making woven
mats and plants.
Palawan is internationally known as the “Final
Frontier” of the country. It is also famous for the
Puerto Prinsesa Undeground River. It is also known
for its largest marine habitat, the Tubbataha Reef.
The place has very rare flora and fauna.
The Manunggul Jar is considered as one of the
most treasured artifacts in Philippine history.
Manunggul jar is also
known in the old design
of the one-thousand-

Tagbanua’s attire came from the bark of trees known as salugin. The early
men in this tribe wore loincloth with ambalad, a rattan waistband.
