CONTEMPORARY ARTS OF MIMAROPA REGION
Being one of the youngest country’s regions, the oldest human skeletons,
the Tabon Man, were found in one of its islands- Palawan and there were similar finds in
Marinduque caves in the 1960s, making MIMAROPA also the earliest region of
all.MIMAROPA is home to indigenous people. Mindoro’s ethnic group Mangyans speak
seven different languages: Irava, Alangan, Tambuid, Hanunuo, Tadyawan, Buhid, and
Ratagnon. Palawan has many cultural groups. Cuyunon & Agutaynon are considered the
leading ethnic groups of the province. However, there are also Muslim groups such as
Molbog, Jama Mapun, and Tausug living on the southern coast. Tagbanuas, on the other hand,
is the largest indigenous group inhabiting the central portion. In addition to that, there are even
smaller cultural communities like Pala’wan, Taut batu, Batak, Ken- uy and Kalamian.
Romblon, being near at the Visayas, has three main languages: Romblomanon, Asi and Onhan,
which belong to the Visayan language family.
Marinduque has no indigenous groups except Tagalogs, but many descendants of the
Asi tribe live in the southern part of the island and they are known to still cling to their roots in
Banton. Tagalog spoken in Marinduque has been carefully studied and it has been concluded
that the language spoken here is the root from which modern national forms of speech have
sprung. That is based on the study by Cecilio Lopez in 1914. This study was again published
by the Institute of Philippine Linguistics in 1973, and no one so far came forward to challenge
it.

MIMAROPA Artworks and Practices
MINDORO
Mindoro is "Home of the Indigenous Mangyans”. The famous Puerto Galera
can be found here, specifically in Oriental Mindoro. Here are some amazing facts about
Mindoro and Mangyans:
• In Calapan City a “City Museum” has been put up in their city hall to showcase
the City’s colorful history. A Special Program for the Arts (SPA), a project of
the DepEd is in place at JJ Leido National High School.
• Outreach projects on workshops are also undertaken from time to time.
Municipalities such as Pinamalayan undertake locally initiated Ani ng Sining
programs.

Mangyan Artworks
• Although in Spanish morrión refers to a helmet, locals have used the term to refer to
their full head masks. The moryon is carved using softwood varieties such as dapdap
(Erythrina variegata) and santol (Sandoricum koetjape) by local woodcarvers. Its
features are usually Caucasian: big-eyed, open-mouthed, bearded, with a scowling or
frowning expression, much like their ancestors' impression of Europeans or the
Spanish colonizers. It is coated with layers of primer paint before finally adding facial
details. It would take a couple of months to finish a mask. The turbante
(helmet/headgear) are then decorated for instance among the Mogpog penitents with
flowers called Bulaklakang Moryon which was believed to be the original design of
their mask.
• Moryonan is a week-long observance of Christ’s passion during Semana Santa
(Holy Week) among the people of the province. It is a folk religious practice to express
their panata (vow) as an act of penance or a way of thanksgiving for good health,
successful life, or bountiful harvest or catch. Central to the event is the participation of
local moriones (penitents), in biblical Roman soldier uniforms and masks, who walk
around town under the sweltering summer heat.
• Moryonan is a combination of art and devotion of Marinduqueños; a solemn socio-
cultural activity rather than a tourist attraction. However, Moryonan was transformed
and named Moriones Festival to promote the local tourism of the province during the
1970s.
• Interestingly, In 2012, Moriones Festival and the art of mask-making were included in
the official inventory of the Philippine Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) with the
collaboration of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) and ICH
Courier of the Asia Pacific (ICHCAP).
Photo 3: Morion
To further the understanding of this heritage as well as
to appreciate the artisanship of local mask- makers, the
National Museum of the
Philippines will be installing a permanent exhibition
entitled, Moryonan: Art and Devotion in our
Marinduque-Romblon Museum in Boac.
With the COVID-19 pandemic, necessitating
everybody to wear face masks for everyone's health
protection, the #NationalMuseumPH shares another
form of essential face masks but this time for cultural
reasons by presenting some of the mask collection from
the Province of Marinduque.

ROMBLON
Romblon, known as “The Marble Capital of the Philippines”, is also known for its
traditional weaving and basketry. Here are the significant facts about Romblon’s
artworks: • Handicrafts are the main home industry where
women are engaged. The province is noted,
especially, for its fine and delicate crochet laces
and bedspreads.
• Local artisans are noted for their good
woodwork. The Cathedral of St. Joseph, for
example, features this woodwork done by local
artisans.
• It has no known arts councils in existence.
• Romblon holds “Biniray Festival” - a nine-day
affair in January marked by a festive atmosphere,
merry-making and dancing and is organized as a
collective effort by government and the local
church.
• A special program for the Arts (SPA), was
piloted by DepEd in Looc National High School

PALAWAN
Here are the interesting facts about Palawan and its artworks:
• Palawan is the largest province in the Philippines.
• In the year 1962, a team of anthropologists from the Philippine National Museum
unearthed various fossils at the Lipuun Point which is now commonly known as the
Tabon Cave in the municipality of Quezon in Palawan.
• The team which was led by Dr. Robert Fox was able to discover the remains of Homo
Sapiens that are believed to be 22, 000 to 24, 000 years old during that time. Those
remains were then named “Tabon Man” and were, then, used for further study. The
discovery of the Tabon Man and the fossils found in the cave gave way for Palawan to
earn the title “The Cradle of Philippine Civilization”.

• Tagbanuas excel in the number of designs that they apply to their tingkop
(harvest baskets) made of hard-strip bamboo. Tingkop are at times made of blackened
and natural bamboo, which make the designs stand out. Sometimes, only the natural
color of bamboo is used, and the design is created by an extremely subtle changing of
the under-over pattern of the bamboo strips.
• Tagbanua skilled artistry is also noticed in their cone-shaped colander type of basket.
Using black and natural color designs outside, the center of the cone has the bamboo
strips skived slightly smaller, creating even holes for the screen. The funnel effect is
accomplished through a close weaving of the bamboo strips towards the top.
• Tagbanuas also create soft rice baskets, violet, grey, black, and green. There
called bayong-bayong, which are made with are at least three common designs
different unusual shapes. These have for hand baskets, which are used as
generally square bases and round tops. To tobacco containers.
produce interesting blocks and V-shapes,
the plain buri sides are superimposed with • Tagbanuas also carve objects such
colored buri. Color is woven into the as mammanuk (rooster), a ritual
Tagbanua basket with the use of dyed palm bowl, kiruman (turtle), kararaga (a
leaves. Among the colors used are red, blue, native bird), dugyan (a small ground
animal), lizards, and wild pigs.
Carved animals are used with rice, betel nut,
and other offerings to attract the deities and
spirit-relatives in the pagdiwata rituals. The
turtle, for instance, floats on grains of palay
in an ancient Ming trade bowl.
Lizards, turtles, and wild pigs, when not
used as ritual objects, become toys for
children.
• “Sining at Kalinangan ng Palawan” project has succeeded in getting some of the visual
arts of the Indigenous Peoples of Palawan displayed in several areas in the Capitol
Building. One example is the 8-piece diorama with accompanying text on the
indigenous people of Palawan that is found in the governor’s conference room.
• One Kalinawa Art Foundation that aims to promote the development of indigenous
people’s visual art sector, has also undertaken projects in Palawan, although it is based
in Makati City. For the last three years, it has held the “Annual Indigenous
People’s Visual Art Show” in Puerto Princesa City.
• In dance, “Sining Palawan Dance Troupe” the official dance troupe of Palawan
State University has a record of performances in various regions as well as performances
in San Francisco, California in 2007.
• Periodically, the Puerto Princesa City Government collaborates with CCP for Outreach
projects on performances and cultural workshops.

In varying degrees, culture & the arts are alive in the region. The absence of arts
councils in many places, brought about by own unique situations, from lack of fund sources to
political intervention or harassment even, does not stop communities from engaging in cultural
and artistic activities. While it is not a general rule, it appears much easier to organize such
councils in highly urbanized places - where the money is.
Still, big sponsors in these places suffer from so-called donor fatigue. In smaller towns, this
appears to be the number one challenge.
