Pre-Colonial Period
Manunggul Jar
 Manunggul Jar is a secondary burial jar
excavated from a Neolithic burial site in the
Manunggul cave of the Tabon Caves at Lipuun
Point in Palawan, Philippines. It dates from
890–710 B.C. and the two prominent figures at the
top handle of its cover represent the journey of the
soul to the afterlife.
Bul-ul
 Bulul, also known as bul-ul or tinagtaggu, is a
carved wooden figure used to guard the rice crop by
the Ifugao (and their sub-tribe Kalanguya) peoples of
northern Luzon.
 The sculptures are highly stylized representations of
ancestors and are thought to gain power and wealth
from the presence of the ancestral spirit.[1] The
Ifugao are particularly noted for their skill in carving
bulul.
Sarimanok
 The Sarimanok, also known as papanok in its feminine
form, is a legendary bird of the Maranao people, who
originate from Mindanao, an island in the Philippines,
and part of Philippine mythology. It comes from the
words sari and manok.
Boaya
 It is worn by priests and fighters during rituals.
Older versions of this necklace consist of crocodile
teeth, which is why this jewelry is named after the local
name for crocodile. Such items are now considered
heirloom. Traditional materials for the manufacture of
this jewelry element are no longer available.
Gaddang
 Gaddang comes from the word ga meaning
"heat" and dang meaning "burned"; this likely
alludes to the fact that the Gaddang are generally
darker of skin than other Cordillera peoples. Many
Gaddang live in the highlands of southeastern Kalinga-
Apayao and eastern Bontok and Isabela provinces.
Spanish Period
Spoliarium
 The Spoliarium is a painting by Filipino painter Juan
Luna. Luna, working on canvas, spent eight months
completing the painting which depicts dying
gladiators. The painting was submitted by Luna to
the Exposición Nacional de Bellas Artes in 1884 in
Madrid, where it garnered the first gold medal.
Zarzuela
 Zarzuela is a Spanish lyric-dramatic genre that
alternates between spoken and sung scenes, the latter
incorporating operatic and popular songs, as well as
dance.
Cenaculo
(Senakulo)
 Senakulo is a dramatic performance to
commemorate the passion and death of
Jesus Christ in the Philippines, the
modernized versions of the Senakulo run for
only one or two hours.
Moro-Moro
 Moro-Moro is a form of theater
premised on battles between
Christians and Moors performed in
village fiestas in the Philippines from
the Spanish colonial period to the
present.
Christianity
 Spain introduced Christianity to the
Philippines in 1565 with the arrival of Miguel
Lopez de Legaspi. Earlier, beginning in 1350,
Islam had been spreading northward from Indonesia
into the Philippine archipelago.
American Period
Women Working in
a Rice Fields
 "Women Working in a Rice Field" received the
golden award at the International Exposition held in
St. Louis, Missouri, USA in 1904. The title “Women
working in a rice field” simply tells us the Filipino
experience from the fields of labor. It directly
identifies the subject in the painting.
The Making of the
Philippine Flag
 Fernando Amorsolo made this painting to show the
citizen of the Philippines of how the Philippine
flag was made and to remind them the
traditions and customs that we did not realize
it becomes faded.
University of thhe
Philippines
 The University of the Philippines is a state university
system in the Philippines. It is the country's national
university, as mandated by Republic Act No. 9500,
giving it institutional autonomy.
Tausug Princess
 This picture is made by Ireneo Miranda entitled
Tausug Princess, or Portrait of Santanina Tillah
Rasul in Oil on canvas. This picture symbolizes the
beauty of modern Filipina.
Bayanihan
 This artwork of Botong Francisco could easily
found on a common tradition of all Filipinos.
Back in hundred years ago, this is how people or
neighborhood help a family if they were going to
move location. People will gathered and start to
help the family who will going to move in other
location.
Contemporary Period
Stand and Growth
 Raffy Napay
 Working with threads demands attention to detail
and technical skills. Raffy may have initially joined
the art scene with oil paintings but after discovering
the art of sewing, he gave a whole new contribution
to the industry. Multicolored threads stitched or
tufted into a canvas make up a story, most of which
are tales of love from his childhood memories. The
intricately sewn fabrics give a new definition to wall-
mounted canvases, making them seem like beautiful
tapestries.
Barbie
 Martin Honasan
 Drawing inspiration from his residence in Marikina,
Martin depicts the city’s condition in the aftermath of
the typhoon season. He captures the images and
sensations of destruction and rebuilding through
watercolor, acrylic, and collage. He makes up portraits
of his fellow Marikenyos by dissolving paint in ‘mud,’
resembling the devastation after a flood. With works
grounded on this reality, audiences can expect to see the
many facets of ruin after a natural tragedy, and perhaps
even derive a sense of non-traditional beauty from it.
Dwelling (After in
Habit: Project
Another Country)
 Alfredo and Isabel Aquilizan
 The husband and wife duo has been working
together on large-scale installations. Having
emigrated to Australia about 14 years ago, Alfredo
and Isabel’s works depict the narratives of the
diasporic movement. With people constantly
moving across countries to settle in new places, we
are no stranger to the feelings brought by changes.
Whether these happen in memory or in physical
aspects like geography and its community, there is
always a story to tell from migratory experiences.
To Rudyard Kipling, I
Present Your Burden (or
Star-Spangled Annexation)
 Liv Vinluan
 While known for her three-dimensional
paintings, Liv also uses different media. She
would merge reality with fantasy, taking
inspiration from her surroundings and the
fictional content she consumes. She also stitches
garments, creating a melancholic work intense
with movement. Her clever arrangement of the
design tells a new perspective on stories of
people whether the past or the present.
Tearing Into Pieces
(After Roberto
Chabet)
 Annie Cabigting
 The nature of Annie’s artworks raises different
commentary and reactions. Throughout her career, she
involves iconic paintings of masters like Jackson Pollock
and Robert Chabet. With her style, people tend to
critique notions of replication, imitation, and even
authorship. After all, works of art as subject matters can
pose a sensitive concern. Yet the artist chooses to focus
on treating these iconic works as natural parts of our
visual landscape. With an unorthodox art style,
audiences can delight in creating their own commentary
on how her own works, and of others, can be perceived.
