Traditional arts

[edit]

Traditional arts in the Philippines include folk architecture, maritime transport, weaving, carving, folk performing arts, folk (oral) literature, folk graphic and plastic arts, ornaments, textile or fiber art, pottery, and other artistic expressions of traditional culture.[1] Traditional artists or groups of artists receive the National Living Treasures Award (Gawad Manlilikha ng Bayan Award (GAMABA)) for their contributions to the country's intangible cultural heritage.

Ethnomedicine

[edit]

Ethnomedicine is one of the oldest traditional arts in the Philippines. Traditions (and objects associated with them) are performed by medical artisans and shamans. Practices, grounded on the physical elements, are an ancient science and art. Herbal remedies, complementing mental, emotional, and spiritual techniques, are also part of many traditions as well. The category was added to the GAMABA in 2020.[3]

Folk architecture

[edit]

Folk architecture in the Philippines varies by ethnic group, and structures are made of bamboo, wood, rock, coral, rattan, grass, and other materials. They include the hut-style bahay kubo, highland houses (known as bale) with four to eight sides, the coral houses of Batanes which protect from the area's harsh, sandy winds, the royal torogan (engraved with an intricate okir motif) and palaces such as the Darul Jambangan (Palace of Flowers), the residence of the sultan of Sulu before colonization. Folk architecture also includes religious buildings, generally called spirit houses, which are shrines to protective spirits or gods.[4][5][6] Most are open-air, house-like buildings made of native materials.[7][4] Some were originally pagoda-like (a style continued by natives who converted to Islam), and are now rare.[8] Other buildings have indigenous and Hispanic motifs (bahay na bato architecture and its prototypes). Many bahay na bato buildings are in Vigan, a World Heritage Site.[9] Folk structures range from simple, sacred stick stands to indigenous castles or fortresses (such as Batanes' ijangs and geological alterations such as the Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras (another World Heritage Site).[10][11][12][13]

Maritime transport

[edit]

Maritime transport includes boat houses, boat-making, and maritime traditions. These structures, traditionally made of wood chosen by elders and crafters, connected the islands. Although boats are believed to have been used in the archipelago for thousands of years, the earliest evidence of boat-making has been carbon-dated to 689 AD: the Butuan boats identified as large balangays.[14][15][16] In addition to the balangay, indigenous boats include the two-masted double-outrigger fishing armadahan,[17][18] the avang trading ship,[19] the awang dugout canoes,[20] the balación sailing outrigger boat,[21] the bangka,[22] the bangka anak-anak canoe,[23] the salambáw-lifting basnigan,[24] the bigiw double-outrigger sailboat,[25] the birau dugout canoe,[23] the buggoh dugout canoe,[23] the casco barge,[26] the single mast and pointed chinarem,[19] the rough-sea open-deck chinedkeran,[19] the djenging double-outrigger plank boat,[23] the garay pirate ship,[27] the guilalo sailing outrigger ship,[28] the falua open-deck boat,[19] the junkun canoe,[23] the motorized junkung,[29] the outrigger karakoa and lanong warships,[30][31] the lepa houseboat,[32] the ontang raft,[23] the owong lake canoe,[33] the open-deck fishing boat panineman,[19] the double-outrigger paraw sailboat,[34] the salisipan war canoe,[35] the tataya fishing boat,[19] the motorized tempel, the dinghy tiririt,[36] and the outrigger vinta.[37] From 1565 to 1815, Manila galleons were built by Filipino artisans.[38]

Weaving

[edit]

Weaving is an ancient art form, and each ethnic group has a distinct weaving technique.[39] The weaving arts include basket weaving, back-strap loom weaving, headgear weaving, and fishnet weaving.

Cloth and mat weaving

[edit]

Valuable textiles are made with a back strap loom.[40] Fibers such as cotton, abaca, banana fiber, grass, and palm are used in Filipino weaving.[41] There are a number of types of woven cloth. Pinilian is an Ilocano cotton cloth woven with a pangablan, using binakul, binetwagan, or tinumballitan styles. Bontoc weave emphasizes the concept of centeredness, key to the culture of the Bontoc people. The weave begins with the sides (langkit), followed by the pa-ikid (side panels), fatawil (warp bands), and shukyong (arrows). The sinamaki weaving then begins, incorporating a tinagtakho (human figure), minatmata (diamond), and tinitiko (zigzag). The last is the center (pa-khawa), with the kan-ay (supplementary weft). Kalinga textiles contain geometric designs; one motif is a lozenge pattern known as inata-ata. Piña is considered the finest indigenous Filipino textile. Aklanon textiles are used in national costumes. Hablon is the textile of the Karay-a and Hiligaynon peoples. Tapestry woven by the Yakan people uses the bunga-sama supplementary weft weave, the siniluan warp-floating pattern, the inalaman supplementary-weft technique, and the pinantupan weft-band pattern. Blaan weaving depicts crocodiles and curls. The Mandaya use a mud-dye technique. Meranaw textiles are used for the malong and other Maranao clothing. T'nalak is a Tboli textile.[42] The oldest known ikat textile in Southeast Asia is the Banton cloth, dating to the 13th to 14th centuries.[43]

Unlike cloth weaving with a loom, mats are woven by hand. They are woven in cool shade, and are kept cool to preserve their integrity. An example is the banig of Basey, where its weavers usually work in a cave. Fibers include banana, grass, and palm.[44]

Basketry

[edit]

Baskets have intricate designs, styles and forms for specific purposes, such as harvesting, rice storage, traveling, and sword storage. Basket weaving is believed to have arrived with north-to-south human migration. Some of the finest baskets made are from Palawan, in the southwest. Materials vary by ethnic group, and include bamboo, rattan, pandan, cotton tassels, beeswax, abacá, bark, and dyes. Basketry patterns include closed crossed-over underweave, closed bamboo double-twill weave, and a spaced rattan pentagon pattern. Products include the tupil (lunch box), bukug (basket), kabil (carrying basket), uppig (lunch basket), tagga-i (rice basket), bay'ung (basket pouch), lig-o (winnowing tray), and binga (bag).[45][46] Weaving traditions have been influenced by modern demands.[47]

Woven headpieces are common, and cultures use a variety of fibers to create headgear such as the Ivatan vakul and the snake headpiece of the Bontoc.[48] Woven fish traps are a specialty of the Ilocano people.[49] Broom weaving is another tradition, exemplified by the Kalinga people.[50]

Relics

[edit]
The Agusan image from Agusan del Sur
Gold Garuda ornament found in the Tabon Caves

The Philippines has Buddhist artifacts[51][52] with Vajrayāna influence,[53][54][better source needed][55] most of which date to the ninth century and reflect the iconography of the Śrīvijayan empire. They were produced from the Agusan-Surigao area on Mindanao to Cebu, Palawan, and Luzon.

The Agusan image is a 2 kg (4.4 lb), 21-karat gold statuette found in 1917 on the Wawa River near Esperanza, Agusan del Sur, Mindanao,[56] dates to the ninth or tenth centuries. The image is commonly known as the Golden Tara, an allusion to its reported[57] identity as an image of a Buddhist Tara. The figure, about 178 mm (7.0 in)[58] tall, is of a female Hindu or Buddhist deity sitting cross-legged and wearing a headdress and other ornaments. It is on display in the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago.[58][59][60] A bronze statue of Lokesvara was found in Isla Puting Bato in Tondo, Manila.[61]

An image of the Buddha was moulded on a clay medallion in bas-relief in the municipality of Calatagan. It reportedly resembles iconographic depictions of the Buddha in Siam, India, and Nepal: in a tribhanga[62] pose inside an oval nimbus. Scholars have noted a Mahayanic orientation in the image, since the boddhisattva Avalokiteśvara is also shown.[63]

Another gold artifact, from the Tabon Caves in the island of Palawan, is an image of Garuda, the bird who is the mount of Vishnu. The Hindu imagery and gold artifacts in the caves has been linked to those in Oc Eo, in the Mekong Delta of southern Vietnam. Crude bronze statues of the Hindu deity Ganesha were found by Henry Otley Beyer in 1921 in Puerto Princesa, Palawan, and in Mactan, Cebu. The statues were produced locally.[61] A bronze statue of Avalokiteśvara was also excavated that year by Beyer in Mactan.[61] A gold Kinnara was found in Surigao. Other gold relics include rings (some with images of Nandi), jewellery chains, inscribed gold sheets, and gold plaques with repoussé images of Hindu deities.[64][65]

Carving

[edit]

Carving includes on woodcarving and the creation of folk non-clay sculptures.[66][67]

Woodcarving

[edit]

Indigenous woodcarving by some ethnic groups dates to before the Hispanic arrival; the oldest may be fragments of a wooden boat dating to 320 AD.[68] A variety of woods are used to make wood crafts, which include bululs.[69][70] These wooden figures, known by a number of names, are found from north Luzon to southern Mindanao.[71] Wood okir is crafted by ethnic groups in Mindanao and the Sulu archipelago.[72][73] Wood crafts of objects such as sword hilts and musical instruments depict ancient, mythical beings.[74][75] Indigenous wood-crafting techniques have been utilized in Hispanic woodcarvings after colonization, such as in Paete.[76][77]

Religious Hispanic woodcarvings were introduced with Christianity, and are a fusion of indigenous and Hispanic styles. Paete is a center of religious Hispanic woodcarving.[76] Such woodcarving also exists in many municipalities, where most crafts depict the life of Jesus and the Virgin Mary.[78]

Stone, ivory, and other carvings

[edit]

Stone carving predates Western colonization.[79] Carvings may represent an ancestor or a deity who helps the spirit of a loved one enter the afterlife.[80] Ancient carved burial urns have been found in many areas, notably in the Cotabato region.[81] The Limestone tombs of Kamhantik, in Quezon province, are thought to initially have rock covers and were sarcophagi. They are believed to have been originally roofed, as evidenced by holes where beams have been placed.[82] Stone grave marks are carved with okir motifs to aid the dead.[83] Mountainsides are carved to form burial caves, especially in the highlands of northern Luzon; the Kabayan Mummies are an example.[84] Marble carvings are centered in Romblon, and most (primarily Buddhist statues and related works) are exported.[85] With the arrival of Christianity, stone carvings became widespread; most are church facades or statues, or statues and other crafts for personal altars.[86] A notable stone carving is the facade of Miagao Church.[87]

Ivory carving has been practiced in the Philippines for a millennium; its oldest known ivory artifact is the Butuan Ivory Seal, dated to the ninth to 12th centuries.[88] Ivory religious carvings (locally known as garing) became widespread after ivory was imported to the Philippines from Asia, where carvings focused on Christian themes such as the Madonna and child, the Christ child, and the Sorrowful Mother.[89] Many of the ivory carvings from the Philippines have gold and silver designs.[89] The Filipino ivory trade has boomed because of the demand for carvings,[90] but the government has cracked down on the illegal trade. In 2013, the Philippines was the first country to destroy its ivory stock; the ivory trade has decimated the world's elephant and rhinoceros populations.[91] Horns of dead carabaos have substituted for ivory in the country for centuries.[92]

Folk performing arts

[edit]

Folk dances, plays, and dramas are performed. Each ethnic group has its own heritage, and Filipino folk performing arts also have Spanish and American influences. Some dances are related to those in neighboring Austronesian and other Asian countries.[93] Folk performing arts include the banga, manmanok, ragragsakan, tarektek, uyaoy (or uyauy),[94] pangalay, asik, singkil, sagayan, kapa malong malong,[95] binaylan, sugod uno, dugso, kinugsik kugsik, siring, pagdiwata, maglalatik, tinikling, subli, cariñosa, kuratsa, and pandanggo sa ilaw.[96][97][98][99] Folk dramas and plays are based on popular epics such as Hinilawod,[100] and the Senakulo is a popular drama with Hispanic groups.[101][102]

Folk (oral) literature

[edit]

Folk (oral) literature includes the epics, songs, myths, and other oral literature of Filipino ethnic groups. The country's poetry is rich in metaphors.[103] Tanaga poetry has a 7777 syllable count, and its rhyme forms range from dual rhymes to none.[103] Awit poetry has 12-syllable quatrains, with rhyming similar to the Pasyon[104][105] chanted in the pabasa.[106] Another awit is the 1838 Florante at Laura.[107] Dalit poetry contains four lines of eight syllables each.[108] Ambahan poetry consists of seven-syllable lines with rhythmic end syllables, often chanted and sometimes written on bamboo.[109] Balagtasan is a debate in verse.[110] Other poems include A la juventud filipina,[111] and Ako'y may alaga.[112][113]

Epic poems include the 17-cycle, 72,000-line Darangen of the Maranao[114] and the Hinilawod.[115] Others include Biag ni Lam-Ang, Ibalon, Hudhud, Alim, the Ulalim cycle, Lumalindaw, Kudaman, the Agyu Cycle, Tulelangan, Gumao of Dumalinao, Ag Tubig Nog Keboklagan, Keg Sumba Neg Sandayo, and Tudbulul.[116] Filipino Sign Language is used to pass on oral literature to the hearing-impaired.[117] Folk literature is documented by scholars in manuscripts, tapes, and video recordings.[118][119]

Folk graphic and plastic arts

[edit]

These are tattooing, folk writing, and folk drawing and painting.

Folk writing (calligraphy)

[edit]

The Philippines has a number of indigenous scripts collectively known as suyat, each of which has its own calligraphy. Since 16th-century Spanish colonization, ethnolinguistic groups have used the scripts in a variety of media. By the end of the colonial era, only four suyat scripts survived and continue to be used: the Hanunó'o and Buhid scripts and those of the Tagbanwa and Palawan peoples. All four were inscribed in the UNESCO Memory of the World Programme as Philippine Paleographs (Hanunoo, Buid, Tagbanua and Pala’wan) in 1999.[120]

Artists and cultural experts have also revived extinct suyat scripts, including the Visayan badlit script, the iniskaya script of the Eskaya people, the baybayin script of the Tagalog people, the sambali script of the Sambal people, the basahan script of the Bicolano people, the sulat pangasinan script of the Pangasinense people, and the kur-itan (or kurdita) script of the Ilocano people.[121][122][123][124][125] Spanish[126] and Arabic Jawi scripts are also used.[127][128] Suyat-based calligraphy has become increasingly popular.[129][130] Philippine Braille is used by the visually impaired.[131]

Folk drawing and painting

[edit]

Folk drawing has been known for thousands of years. The oldest folk drawings are rock drawings and engravings which include the Angono Petroglyphs in Rizal, created during the Neolithic (6000 to 2000 BC). The drawings have been interpreted as religious, with infant drawings to relieve sickness in children.[132] Another petroglyph is in Alab (Bontoc), dated as not later than 1500 BC and containing fertility symbols such as the pudenda. Ancient petrographs are also found; those in Peñablanca and Singnapan are drawn with charcoal, and those in Anda (Bohol) are drawn with red hematite.[133] Recently-discovered petrographs in Monreal (Ticao) include drawings of monkeys, human faces, worms (or snakes), plants, dragonflies, and birds.[134]

Evidence indicates that indigenous Filipinos have been painting and glazing pottery for thousands of years. Pigments used for painting range from gold, yellow, reddish-purple, green, white, and blue-green to blue.[135] Statues and other creations have also been painted with a variety of colors. Painting on skin is practiced, especially by the Yakan people.[136]

Tattooing was introduced by the Austronesian peoples thousands of years ago, and it developed into cultural symbols in a number of ethnic groups.[137][138][139] It was first documented the 16th century, with the bravest Pintados (people of central and eastern Visayas) the most tattooed. Similar tattooed peoples were the Bicolanos of Camarines and the Tagalogs of Marinduque.[140][141][142] Tattooed people in Mindanao include the Manobo, whose tattoo tradition is known as pang-o-túb.[143][144] The T'boli also tattoo their skin in the belief that the tattoos glow after death, guiding the soul in its journey to the afterlife.[145] The best-known tattooed people may have been the Igorot people of highland Luzon. Only Tinglayan in Kalinga has traditional tattoo artists crafting batok; they were headed by master tattooist and Kalinga matriarch Whang-od.[146][147] Traditional tattooing has experienced a revival after centuries of decline.[148]

Ornaments

[edit]

Ornamental art includes glass art, accessories and metal crafts.[1]

Glass art

[edit]

Glass art is found in places such as Pinagbayanan.[149] Stained glass has been a feature of many churches since Spanish colonization. European craftspeople initially produced stained glass, with Filipinos beginning to join the craft during the 20th century.[150] The Manila Cathedral contains a number of stained-glass windows.[151] [better source needed] Other glass art includes chandeliers and sculptures.[152]

[edit]

The gourd-based tabungaw of Abra and Ilocos Region is an example of hat-making.[153] Indigenous hats were widely worn until the 20th century (when they were replaced by Western styles), and are currently worn for festivals, rituals, or theatre.[48][154]

Mask-making is an indigenous and imported tradition; some communities made masks before colonization, and other mask-making traditions were introduced by trade with Asia and the West. These masks are primarily worn during the Moriones and MassKara Festivals.[155][156][157] Puppet-making is a related art whose products are used in plays and festivals such as the Higantes Festival.[158] Most indigenous masks are made of wood, and gold masks (made for the dead) were common in the Visayas region before Spanish colonization. Masks made of bamboo and paper, used in Lucban depict the typical Filipino farming family. Masks in Marinduque are used in pantomime; those in Bacolod depict egalitarian values, regardless of economic standards. Masks are worn in theatrical epics, especially those related to the Ramayana and the Mahabharata.[159]

Accessories

[edit]

Accessories are generally worn with clothing, and some are accessories for houses, altars, and other objects. Of the Philippines' over 100 ethnic groups, the most accessorized may be the Kalinga people.[160] The Gaddang people also use many accessories.[161] The best-known accessory is the lingling-o, a pendant or amulet used from Batanes in the north to Palawan in the south.[162][163] The oldest known lingling-o has been dated to 500 BC and is made of nephrite.[163] Shells have also traditionally been used for accessories.[164]

Gold is crafted by Filipino ethnic groups, and the country's best-known goldsmiths came from Butuan. Regalia, jewelry, ceremonial weapons, tooth ornamentation, and ritualistic and funerary objects made of high-quality gold have been found at a number of sites, and the archipelago's gold culture flourished between the tenth and thirteenth centuries. Some gold-crafting techniques were lost in colonization, but techniques influenced by other cultures have been adopted by Filipino goldsmiths.[165][166]

Metal ornaments

[edit]

Ornamental metal crafts are metal-based products used to beautify something else, metal or non-metal, and those made by the Maranao in Tugaya are valued. Metal crafts by the Moro people decorate a variety of objects, and are inscribed with the okir motif.[167] Metal crafts also decorate religious objects such as altars, Christian statues, and vestments. Apalit, in Pampanga, is a center of the craft.[168] Gold has been used in a number of ornaments, and most which survive are human accessories with elaborate, ancient designs.[165]

Pottery (ceramic) arts

[edit]

Pottery (ceramics, clay, and folk clay sculpture) has been part of Filipino culture for about 3,500 years.[169] Notable artifacts include the Manunggul Jar (890–710 BCE)[170] and Maitum anthropomorphic pottery (5 BC-225 AD).[171] High-fired pottery was first made around 1,000 years ago, leading to a ceramic age in the Philippines.[135] Ceramics were traded, and pottery and fragments from the Arab world (possibly Egypt) and East Asia have been found.[135] Specific jars were also traded directly to Japan.[172] Before colonization during the 16th century, foreign porcelain was popular in a number of communities; according to oral tradition from Cebu, indigenous porcelain was produced at the time of Cebu's early rulers.[173] The earliest known indigenous porcelain has been dated to the 1900s, however; porcelain found at Filipino archaeological sites was labeled "imported", which has become a subject of controversy. Filipinos worked as porcelain artisans in Japan during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, re-introducing the craft in the Philippines. All but one porcelain artifact from the era survived World War II.[174] Notable folk clay art includes The Triumph of Science over Death (1890)[175] and Mother's Revenge (1894),[176] and popular pottery includes the tapayan and palayok. Pottery-making has received recent media attention.[177][178]

Other traditional arts

[edit]

Other traditional arts, including non-ornamental metal crafts, martial arts, supernatural healing arts, medicinal arts, and constellation traditions, cannot be specifically categorized.

Non-ornamental metal crafts

[edit]

Non-ornamental metal crafts are metal products with simple, utilitarian designs. The Moro people are known for their metalwork, which is usually decorated with the okir motif.[179] Baguio is also a center for metalwork.[180] Hispanic metal crafts are common in the lowlands. They include large bells, and Asia's largest bell is at Panay Church.[181] Metal deities, notably of gold, are also found.[165][182]

Sword making

[edit]

Filipino bladesmiths have been creating swords and other bladed weapons for centuries. Many swords are made for ceremonies and agriculture, and others are used for warfare. The best-known Filipino sword is the kampilan, a sharp blade with a spikelet one the flat side of the tip and a pommel depicting one of four sacred creatures: a bakunawa (dragon), a buaya (crocodile), a kalaw (hornbill), or a kakatua (cockatoo).[183] Other Filipino bladed weapons include the balarao, balasiong, balisong, balisword, bangkung, banyal, barong, batangas, bolo, dahong palay, gunong, gayang, golok, kalis, karambit, panabas, pinutí, pirah, gunong, susuwat, tagan, and utak. A variety of spears (sibat), axes, darts (bagakay), and arrows (pana or busog) are also used.[184]

Martial arts

[edit]

Filipino martial arts vary by ethnic group. The best-known is arnis (also known as kali and eskrima) (the country's national sport and martial art), which has weapon-based fighting styles with sticks, knives, bladed and improvised weapons and open-hand techniques. Arnis has changed over time, and was also known as estoque, estocada, and garrote during Spanish colonization. The Spanish recorded it as called paccalicali-t by the Ibanags, didya (or kabaroan) by the Ilocanos, sitbatan or kalirongan by the Pangasinenses, sinawali ("to weave") by the Kapampangans, calis or pananandata ("use of weapons") by the Tagalogs, pagaradman by the Ilonggos, and kaliradman by the Cebuanos.[185]

Unarmed martial-arts techniques include pangamot (the Bisaya), suntukan (the Tagalogs), sikaran (the Rizal Tagalogs), dumog (the Karay-a), buno (the Igorot people), and yaw-yan. Martial-arts weapons include the baston (or olisi), bangkaw (or tongat), dulo-dulo, and tameng. Edged weapons include the daga (or cuchillo), gunong, punyal and barung (or barong), balisong, karambit (with blades resembling tiger claws), espada, kampilan, ginunting, pinuti, talibong, itak, kalis, kris, golok, sibat, sundang, lagaraw, ginunting, and pinunting. Flexible weapons include latigo, buntot pagi, lubid, sarong, cadena (or tanikala), and tabak-toyok. Projectile weapons include the pana, sibat, sumpit, bagakay, tirador (or pintik or saltik), kana, lantaka, and luthang.[186][187][188] Related martial arts include kuntaw and silat.[189][full citation needed][190][page needed][191]

Cuisine

[edit]

Filipino cuisine encompasses the country's more than 100 ethnolinguistic groups. Most mainstream dishes are from the Bikol, Chavacano, Hiligaynon, Ilocano, Kapampangan, Maranao, Pangasinan, Cebuano (or Bisaya), Tagalog, and Waray groups. The style of cooking and the associated foods have evolved over centuries from their Austronesian origins to a mixed cuisine with Indian, Chinese, Spanish, and American influences.[193] Dishes range the simple, such as fried salted fish and rice, to complex paellas and cocidos for Spanish fiestas. Popular dishes include lechón[194] (whole roasted pig), longganisa (Philippine sausage), tapa (cured beef), torta (omelette), adobo (chicken or pork braised in garlic, vinegar, oil and soy sauce, or cooked until dry), kaldereta (meat stewed in tomato sauce), mechado (fatty beef in a soy-tomato sauce), puchero (beef in a banana-and-tomato sauce), afritada (chicken or pork simmered in tomato sauce with vegetables), kare-kare (oxtail and vegetables cooked in peanut sauce), pinakbet (kabocha squash, eggplant, beans, okra, and tomato stew flavored with shrimp paste), crispy pata (deep-fried pig's leg), hamonado (pork sweetened in pineapple sauce), sinigang (meat or seafood in a sour broth), pancit (noodles), and lumpia (fresh or fried spring rolls).[195]

Others

[edit]

Shell crafts are common, due to the variety of mollusk shells available. The country's shell industry emphasizes crafts made of capiz shells, which are seen in a variety of products including capiz-shell windows, statues, and lamps.[164] Lantern-making is also a traditional art form which began after the introduction of Christianity, and many lanterns (locally known as parol) are in Filipino streets and in front of houses for the Christmas season (which begins in September and ends in January, the world's longest Christmas season). The Giant Lantern Festival, which also celebrates Christmas, features large lanterns made by Filipino artisans.[196] Pyrotechnics are popular during the New Year celebrations and the Christmas season. The Philippines has hosted the Philippine International Pyromusical Competition, the world's largest pyrotechnic competition (previously known as the World Pyro Olympics) since 2010.[197]

Lacquerware is a less-common art form. Filipino researchers are studying the possibility of turning coconut oil into lacquer.[198][199][200] Paper arts are common in many communities; examples include the taka papier-mâché of Laguna and the pabalat of Bulacan.[201] A form of leaf-folding art is puni, which uses palm leaves to create forms such as birds and insects.[201]

Bamboo art is also common, with products including kitchen utensils, toys, furniture, and musical instruments such as the Las Piñas Bamboo Organ (the world's only organ made of bamboo).[202] In bulakaykay, bamboo is bristled to create large arches.[201] Floristry is popular for festivals, birthdays, and Undas.[203] Leaf speech (language and meaning) is popular among the Dumagat people, who use leaves to express themselves and send secret messages.[204]

Shamanism and its related healing arts are found throughout the country, with each ethnic group having its unique concepts of shamanism and healing. Philippine shamans are regarded as sacred by their ethnic groups. The introduction of Abrahamic religions (Islam and Christianity) suppressed many shamanitic traditions, with Spanish and American colonizers demeaning native beliefs during the colonial era. Shamans and their practices continue in some parts of the Philippines.[205] The art of constellation and cosmic reading and interpretation is a fundamental tradition among all Filipino ethnic groups, and the stars are used to interpret for communities to conduct farming, fishing, festivities, and other important activities. Notable constellations include Balatik and Moroporo.[206] Another cosmic reading is the utilization of earthly monuments, such as the Gueday stone calendar of Besao, which locals use to see the arrival of kasilapet (the end of the current agricultural season and the beginning of the next one).[207]

Non-traditional arts

[edit]

Non-traditional arts include dance, music, theater, visual arts, literature, film and broadcast arts, architecture and allied arts, and design.[2] A distinguished artist is inducted as a National Artist of the Philippines.

Dance

[edit]

Dance in the Philippines includes choreography, direction, and performance. Philippine dance is influenced by the country's folk performing arts and its Hispanic traditions; a number of styles also have global influences. Igorot dances such as banga,[94] Moro dances such as pangalay and singkil,[95] Lumad dances such as kuntaw, kadal taho and lawin-lawin, and Hispanic dances such as maglalatik and subli have been incorporated into contemporary Filipino dance.[96][97][98][99] Ballet has been popular since the early 20th century.[208] Pinoy hip hop music has influenced dances, a number of which have adopted global standards of hip hop and break dances.[209] Filipinos choreograph traditional and Westernized dances, with some companies focusing on Hispanic and traditional dance.[210][211]

Music

[edit]

Musical composition, direction, and performance are central to non-traditional music. The basis of Filipino music is the heritage of the country's many ethnic groups, some of whom have been influenced by other Asian and Western music (primarily Hispanic and American). Philippine folk music includes the chanting of epic poems such as Darangen and Hudhud ni Aliguyon, and singing the Harana serenade. Musical genres include the Manila sound,[212] Pinoy reggae,[213] Pinoy rock,[214] Pinoy pop,[215] Tagonggo,[216] kapanirong,[217] kulintang,[218] kundiman,[219] bisrock,[220] and Pinoy hip hop.

Theater

[edit]

Theater has a long history, and includes direction, performance, production design, light and sound design, and playwriting are the focal arts. It is Austronesian in character, evidenced by ritual, mimetic dances. Spanish culture has influenced Filipino theater and drama: the komedya, sinakulo, playlets, and sarswela. Puppetry, such as carrillo, is another theater art.[221] Anglo-American theater has influenced bodabil. Modern, original plays by Filipinos have also influenced the country's theater.[222][223][224]

Visual arts

[edit]

Visual arts include painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, installation art, mixed-media works, illustration, graphic arts, performance art, and imaging.

Painting

[edit]

Folk painting has always been part of Filipino culture.[133][225] Petroglyphs and petrographs, the earliest known folk drawings and paintings, originated during the Neolithic.[226] Human figures, frogs, lizards, and other designs were depicted. They may have been primarily symbolic, associated with healing and sympathetic magic.[227]

Other Asian and Western cultures influenced the art of painting. From the 16th century to the end of the colonial period, religious paintings were used to spread Catholicism. Most were part of churches, such as ceilings and walls. Non-religious paintings were also known.[228] Notable works include Nuestra Senora de la Soledad de Porta Vaga (1692)[229] and paintings at Camarin de da Virgen (1720).[230] Wealthy, educated Filipinos introduced secular art during the 19th century. The number of watercolour paintings increased, and subjects began to include landscapes, Filipino people and fashion, and government officials. Portraits included self-portraits, Filipino jewelry, and native furniture. Landscape paintings depicted ordinary Filipinos participating in daily life. The paintings, often ornately signed, were made on canvas, wood, and a variety of metals.[228] Watercolours were painted in the Tipos del País[231] or Letras y figuras style.[232]

Notable 19th-century oil paintings include Basi Revolt paintings, Sacred Art of the Parish Church of Santiago Apostol (1852), Spoliarium (1884), La Bulaqueña (1895), and The Parisian Life (1892).[230] A notable modern painting s The Progress of Medicine in the Philippines (1953).[230] After World War II, paintings were influenced by the effects of war. Common themes included battle scenes, destruction, and the suffering of the Filipino people.[233] Nationalistic themes included International Rice Research Institute (1962) and the Manila Mural (1968)[230] Twentieth- and 21st-century paintings have showcased native Filipino cultures as part of the spread of nationalism.[234] Notable paintings during the era include Chickens (1968)[235] and Sarimanok series (late 20th century).[236] Some works have criticized lingering colonial viewpoints such as discrimination against darker-skinned people and the negative effects of colonialism; examples are Filipina: A racial identity crisis (1990s)[237][238] and The Brown Man's Burden (2003).[239] A number of works have protested against state authoritarian rule, human-rights violations, and fascism.[240][241][242]

Sculpture

[edit]

Sculpture is popular in the Philippines.[243] Notable sculptures include Oblation, the Rizal Monument to nationalist José Rizal,[244] the Tandang Sora National Shrine commemorating Melchora Aquino,[245] the Mactan Shrine to Lapulapu,[246] the People Power Monument,[247] Filipina Comfort Women,[248] and the Bonifacio Monument commemorating Andres Bonifacio.[249][250]

Other visual arts

[edit]

Printmaking began in the Philippines after the country's religious orders – the Dominicans, Franciscans and Jesuits – began printing prayer books and inexpensive religious images (such as the Virgin Mary, Jesus Christ, or the saints) to spread Roman Catholicism. Maps were also printed, including the 1734 Velarde map. Printmaking has diversified to include woodblock printing and other forms.[251] Photography began during the 1840s, and photos were used during the colonial era as media for news, tourism, anthropology and other documentation, and as colonial propaganda.[252] After independence, photography became popular for personal and commercial use.[253]

Literature

[edit]

Poetry, fiction, essays, and literary and art criticism are usually influenced by folk literature, which focuses on epics, ethnic mythology, and related stories and traditions. Calligraphy on a variety of media was used to create literary works; an example is Mangyan ambahan poetry.[254] Colonial literature focused first on Spanish-language works, and then English-language works. From 1593 to 1800, most literature in the Philippines consisted of Spanish-language religious works; examples are Doctrina Christiana (1593)[255] and a Tagalog rendition of the Pasyon (1704).[256] Colonial literature was also written in native languages, primarily religious and governmental works promoting colonialism.[252] Non-colonial Filipino literature was written by local authors as well; oral traditions were incorporated into works by Filipino writers, such as the 17th-century manuscript of the ancient Ilocano epic Biag ni Lam-ang.[257] Florante at Laura was published in 1869, combining fiction with Asian and European themes.[258][unreliable source?][259] In 1878[260] or 1894,[261] Ang Babai nga Huaran (the first modern play in any Philippine language) was written in Hiligaynon. Spanish literature evolved into a nationalist stage from 1883 to 1903; Nínay, the first novel written by a Filipino, was published at this time. Literature critical of colonial rulers was published, such as the 1887 Noli Me Tángere and the 1891 El filibusterismo.[262] The first novel in Cebuano, Maming, was published in 1900.[263] The golden age of Spanish-language literature was from 1903 to 1966, and works in native languages and English were also popular. Banaag at Sikat, a 1906 novel, explores socialism, capitalism, and organized labor.[264] The first Filipino book written in English, The Child of Sorrow, was published in 1921. Early English literature is characterized by melodrama, figurative language, and an emphasis on local color.[265] A later theme was the search for Filipino identity, reconciling Spanish and American influence with the Philippines' Asian heritage.[266] Portions of Sa mga Kuko ng Liwanag were published in 1966 and 1967, and were combined in a 1986 novel.[267] During the martial-law era, works such as Dekada '70 (1983)[268] and Luha ng Buwaya (1983) criticizing human-rights violations by those in power were published.[269][270] Twenty-first-century Filipino literature has explored history, global outlooks, equality, and nationalism. Major works include Smaller and Smaller Circles (2002),[271] Ladlad (2007),[272] Ilustrado (2008),[273] and Insurrecto (2018).[274]

Film and broadcast arts

[edit]

The film and broadcast arts focus on direction, writing, production design, cinematography, editing, animation, performance, and new media. Filipino cinema began in 1897, with the introduction of moving pictures in Manila. Foreign filmmakers worked in the country until 1919, when filmmaker José Nepomuceno made the first Filipino film, Country Maiden.[275] Interest in film as art had begun by the 1930s, with theatre an important influence. Films made during the 1940s were realistic, due to the occupation years of World War II. More artistic, mature films were produced a decade later.[276][277] The 1960s were a decade of commercialism, fan movies, soft porn films, action films, and western spin-offs, leading to a golden age during the 1970s and 1980s under dictatorship. These films were overseen by the government, and a number of filmmakers were arrested. One notable film made at that time was Himala, which addressed religious fanaticism. The period after martial law dealt with more serious topics, and independent films were popular. The 1990s saw the emergence of Western-themed films and the continued popularity of films focusing on poverty; examples of the latter include Manila in the Claws of Light, The Flor Contemplacion Story, Oro, Plata, Mata, and Sa Pusod ng Dagat.[277] Twenty-first-century Filipino films have examined human equality, poverty, self-love, and history.[278] Notable films include The Blossoming of Maximo Oliveros,[279] Caregiver,[280] Kinatay,[281] Thy Womb,[282] That Thing Called Tadhana,[283] The Woman Who Left,[284] and the film version of the novel Smaller and Smaller Circles.[285]

Architecture and allied arts

[edit]

Architecture focuses on non-folk architecture and its allied arts, such as interior design, landscape architecture, and urban design.

Architecture

[edit]

Filipino architecture is influenced by the folk architecture of its ethnic groups, including the bahay kubo, bahay na bato, torogan, idjang, payyo, and shrines and mosques.[286] Western Baroque architecture was introduced by the Spanish during the 16th century; examples are the Manila Cathedral and Boljoon Church. It evolved into Earthquake Baroque, used to build Binondo Church, Daraga Church and the World Heritage Sites of Paoay Church, Miagao Church, San Agustin Church, and Santa Maria Church.[87][287][288] Throughout the colonial era, a variety of architectural styles were introduced; a Gothic Revival example is San Sebastian Church, Asia's only all-steel church. Beaux-Arts architecture became popular among the wealthy, and an example is the Lopez Heritage House.[286] Art Deco is popular in some Filipino communities, and the city of Sariaya is considered the country's Art Deco capital.[289] Italian and Italian-Spanish architecture is seen in Fort Santiago and the Ruins. An example of Stick-built construction is Silliman Hall. Many official buildings have neoclassical architecture; examples include the Baguio Cathedral, Manila Central Post Office, and the National Museum of Fine Arts. After independence, Brutalism was employed during the martial-law era. After the restoration of democracy, indigenous architecture revived during the late 20th and 21st centuries; these buildings have become bases for Filipino nationalism. Modern architecture is popular, and examples include Saint Andrew the Apostle Church and the Manila Hotel.[286] Culturally-important buildings have been demolished despite preservation laws, and cultural workers and architects are attempting to prevent further demolition.[290]

Allied arts

[edit]

Allied arts of architecture include interior design, landscape architecture, and urban design. Interior design has been influenced by indigenous Filipino culture, Hispanic, American and Japanese styles, modern design, the avant-garde, tropical design, neo-vernacular, international style, and sustainable design. Interior spaces, expressive of culture, values and aspirations, have been extensively researched by Filipino scholars.[291] Common interior design styles have been Tropical, Filipino, Japanese, Mediterranean, Chinese, Moorish, Victorian and Baroque, and Avant Garde Industrial, Tech and Trendy, Metallic Glam, Rustic Luxe, Eclectic Elegance, Organic Opulence, Design Deconstructed, and Funk Art have become popular.[292] Landscape architecture initially mirrored a client's opulence, but presently emphasizes ecosystems and sustainability.[293] Urban planning is a key economic and cultural issue because of the country's large population and problems with infrastructure such as transportation. Urban planners have proposed raising some urban areas, especially in congested and flood-prone Metro Manila.[294][295]

Design

[edit]

Design encompasses industrial and fashion design.

Industrial design

[edit]

Industrial design has been a factor in improving the Philippine economy. Many artistic creations are through research and development, which attracts customers. The packaging of food and other products and the aesthetics of gadgets are examples of industrial design with the aesthetics of mass-produced vehicles, kitchen equipment and utensils, and furniture.[296][297] Design Week has been held during the third week of March and October since 2011.[298]

Fashion design

[edit]

Fashion is one of the Philippines' oldest artistic crafts, and each ethnic group has an individual fashion sense. Indigenous fashion uses materials created with the traditional arts, such as weaving and the ornamental arts. Unlike industrial design (which is intended for objects and structures), fashion design is a bodily package. Filipino fashion is based on indigenous fashion and aesthetics introduced by other Asian peoples and the West through trade and colonization. Ilustrado fashion was prevalent during the last years of the Hispanic era, and many people wore Hispanized outfits; this slowly changed as American culture was imported.[300] Budget-friendly choices prevail in modern Filipino fashion, although expensive fashions are available for the wealthy.[301] Outfits using indigenous Filipino textiles, without cultural appropriation, have become popular in the country.[302]

Preservation

[edit]

Museums protect and conserve Philippine arts. A number of museums in the country possess works of art which have been declared National Treasures, particularly the National Museum of the Philippines in Manila. Other notable museums include the Ayala Museum, Negros Museum, Museo Sugbo, Lopez Museum, and Metropolitan Museum of Manila. University museums also hold a large collection of art.[303] The best-known libraries and archives are the National Library of the Philippines and the National Archives of the Philippines.[304] Organizations, groups, and universities also preserve the arts, especially the performing and craft arts.[304]

Heritage management in the Philippines includes preservation measures by private and public institutions and organizations, and laws such as the National Cultural Heritage Act have aided the conservation of Filipino art. The act established the Philippine Registry of Cultural Property, the country's repository of its cultural heritage.[305] The National Commission for Culture and the Arts, established by law in 1992, is the cultural arm of the Philippine government, and a Philippine Department of Culture has been proposed.[306][307]
