the Ivatans use a headgear called
Vacul, made from the fibers of vuyavuy
palm, to protect them from the scotching
heat of the sun while working on their
farmlands. This particular headgear is
also a substitute to umbrella in rainy
season.
Another example of regional art
forms are the vases and statues
crafted in the cordillera region,
particularly in Baguio and
Benguet area.

harvest, to repel sinister and for 12
celebration of marriages and in
conducting funeral. Some of these
statues together with paintings and other
art forms are now part of Philippine
indigenous arts.

in the celebration of Moriones festival use Morion
masks to portray the roman soldiers and Syrian
mercenaries in the story of the passion of the
Christ.
 The Moriones denotes the masked and costumed
penitents who march around the town for seven
days searching for Longinus. These masks were
intricately painted with colorful designs that
symbolize roman culture, customs and tradition.
In the Visayas region, maskara,
which means mask is a prominent
feature of the festival which also
bears the same name. Maskara are
always ornamented with smiling
faces, giving rise to Bacolod being
named the "city of smiles".

Islands are also known for
having tattoos or Pinta
which symbolizes their

Mindanao island. Vintas are characterized by
their colorful rectangular log sails or bukay and
bifurcated prows and sterns, which resemble the
gaping mouth of a crocodile. Vinta are used as
fishing vessels, cargo ships, and houseboats
Tribes of Mindanao are also known for
t'nalak, a traditional cloth made by a group
of people in lake Cebu, south Cotabato called
t'bolis, this traditional cloth is hand-woven
made of abaca fibers which traditionally has
three primary colors, red, black and the
original color of the abaca leaves. The
colorants of the materials are naturally dyed
boiled in with bark, roots and leaves.
 T’bolis believes that they cannot create a design
of the Tinalak if they have not dreamed of it.
Therefore, they are sometimes called the "dream
weavers".

become an ubiquitous symbol of Maranao art. It is
depicted as a fowl with colorful wings and feathered
tail, holding a fish on its beak or talons. The head is

resistant to moisture. Hats, bags,
baskets, memorabilia boxes,
perfume tray are other products
that can be made out of buri leaves.

splints that are being used as
raw material. Pandan is use in
