Hanunuo is used to describe the Mangyans who have remained faithful to their traditions and have kept their
customs free from foreign influences. Ambahan is a poem and a song chanted by the Hanunuo-Mangyans. It
came from the word amba meaning “invocation to the spirit.” It is composed of seven syllable line ending in

linguistic groups from the Visayas who continue to nurture and practice music dating from the pre-
Spanish period.

MIMAROPA REGION
MIMAROPA is an administrative region consists entirely of island provinces located in the
Southwestern Luzon. The term MIMAROPA is a combination of the names of its constituent provinces namely
Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon and Palawan.

MINDORO

● Ambahan- is a traditional poetry of the Hanunuo-Mangyans in Mindoro. It is

traditionally written with the point of a knife on a piece of bamboo using the
centuries-old pre-Spanish syllabic script called Surat Mangyan.

● Basket weaving- is the main source of income in Puerto Galera, Mindoro. They
use Nito which refers to the special vine that grows in the wild. They make only
what the earth allows because Nito vine cannot be cultivated or planted, ensuring
the earth-friendly and sustainable nature of their art.

MARINDUQUE

● The Moriones festival in Marinduque is a week-long commemoration of the life and death of Jesus
Christ every Holy week. Morion means masks that are made of wood or paper-mache (papier-mâché).

ROMBLON

● Romblon is known as the "Marble Country" because all the islands comprising the province have
marble. Quarries (the process of getting marbles) on these islands produce raw marble for sculpture
and construction purposes.

PALAWAN

● Tingkop- is one of the unique heritage crafts which are original in Palawan.
It is a cone-shaped colander harvest basket which is made of hard-strip
bamboo.

● The Manunggul jar uncovered in Palawan was a secondary burial jar that
has existed since the late Neolithic Period (895-775 B.C.)
