Another example of regional art forms are the vases and statues crafted in
the Cordillera region, particularly in Baguio and Benguet area.
https://Wikipedia,org/Benguwet_Statue
These statues are similar to the statues used by indigenous people in rituals
intended for thanksgiving for rich harvest, to repel sinister and for
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 province of Marinduque, those who partake 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.

https://WIikipedia,org/Maskara_Festival
Inhabitants of the Panay Islands are also known for having tattoos or
pinta which symbolizes their “kaisugan” or valor or bravery.
https://Wikipedia,org/Pintados_Festival
These tattoos are called Pinta which makes Visayan people of Ilo-ilo and
Panay regions to earn the name “Pintados” which later became the name of
their festival.
In Mindanao Area, Muslim people of Zamboanga are renowned for their
colorful “Vintas”.
Vinta is a traditional outrigger boat of 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
https://Wikipedia,org/Vinta
Tribes of Mindanao are also known for T'nalak, a traditional cloth made by a
group of people in Lake Sebu, 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".
Lastly, Sarimanok, the legendary bird that has 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 profusely
decorated with scroll, leaf, and spiral motifs. It is said to be a symbol of good
fortune.
https://Wikipedia,org/Sarimanok
Filipino contemporary artists use various local materials that are indigenous
in our country. These include Abaca, which belongs to Banana family. Its
fiber has a natural luster with colors ranging from pure white to ivory and
dark brown. It is being used in making slippers, ropes, twine and hammock.

Buri on the other hand is extracted from the matured leaves of the buri
palm. The fibre is durable and resistant to moisture. Hats, bags, baskets,
memorabilia boxes, perfume tray are other products that can be made out of
Buri leaves.
