He was well versed in the playing of regional indigenous instruments such as basal, aroding, and babarak. He was also known for his performances of traditional songs mainly kuliat and bagit. Intaray was unique for he possessed a creative mind and endurance that empowered him to chant epic tales, narratives, and ancient mythologies for successive nights. Because of his contributions in preserving and enriching regional musical traditions in Palawan he was conferred the GAMABA award in 1993.]]> 2022-11-16 14:51:02 UTC https://padlet.com/vdimaranan/5h6vl0u976df9crl/wish/2386724286 Reflection jrmolina3 https://padlet.com/vdimaranan/5h6vl0u976df9crl/wish/2386738705 I would promote Masino Intaray's works and legacy here in my locality because I think that the people here can all learn from his dedication and devotion to his craft. The power of his creative mind is fully utilized as a result of the time and effort he put in mastering his craft. It is also admirable that he is able to provide the modern-day Filipino with a picture on how rich our oral traditions were back in the ancient days of the Philippines. I believe that more people will be inspired to master their own crafts whatever it may be because of the passion and effort Masino Intaray dedicated to his craft when he was alive. ]]> 2022-11-16 14:58:43 UTC https://padlet.com/vdimaranan/5h6vl0u976df9crl/wish/2386738705 Ginaw Bilog https://padlet.com/vdimaranan/5h6vl0u976df9crl/wish/2387463764

He was born on January 3, 1953, and as he grew older, he became a skilled poet who wrote in the traditional Ambahan poetry style. Described in an article as "a poetic literary form made of seven-syllable lines used to transmit thoughts through metaphors and images," Ambahan poetry uses imagery and metaphors to express ideas. He took the effort to record and keep track of all the ambahan poetry created since he was able to recognize at an early age how important the Ambahan was to comprehending the Hanonu Mangyan tribe's members and their culture. With this, he was awarded the GAMABA Award for his efforts in conserving the Ambahan poetry, which was engraved in bamboo woods and dog-eared notebooks using a script known as Surat Mangyan, and was named a National Living Treasure by the Philippine government.]]> 2022-11-17 00:32:29 UTC https://padlet.com/vdimaranan/5h6vl0u976df9crl/wish/2387466418 Reflection https://padlet.com/vdimaranan/5h6vl0u976df9crl/wish/2387467014 It was admirable what Ginaw Bilog did to protect the old Ambahan poetry. Due to Spanish colonization, almost all poetry in scripts like these had been erased from our history. But because of the work of one person, a piece of our nation's identity has been preserved, researched, and valued to this day.]]> 2022-11-17 00:33:10 UTC https://padlet.com/vdimaranan/5h6vl0u976df9crl/wish/2387467014 Lang Dulay https://padlet.com/vdimaranan/5h6vl0u976df9crl/wish/2387518809 Sources

At the early age of 12, Lang Dulay had already begun her lifelong passion of being a traditional weaver of her culture's T'nalak which was taught to her by her mother, Luan Senig. She created approximately 100 unique T'nalak patterns which were then stored only in her memory. Lang Dulay was also a strong advocate for the preservation of traditionally weaved T'nalaks against commercially produced tapestries. In her quest of conservation, she established a workshop in Sitio Tukolefa, Lake Sebu where she taught her own grandchildren and other willing apprentices of T'nalak weaving.

In 1998, Lang Dulay was given the GAMABA (Gawad sa Manlilikha ng Bayan) award for her preservation of T'boli weaving and to acknowledge her expert craftsmanship. Even in her 90's, when she could not weave herself, she continued to pass down her knowledge to her fellow weavers until her peaceful death on April 30, 2015.

Her dedication to traditional T'boli weaving is exemplary and we know this from her more than 80 years of experience weaving and passing down this skill to others. She has gained the respect of her people and even from others outside of her hometown due to her artistic excellence and love for her tradition. Outside of her domain, Lang Dulay was a pleasant person who loved welcoming people who admired her work and her culture. She is proud, not just of herself, but also the impact of the T'boli culture on the country and its people, and that itself is commendable.]]> 2022-11-17 02:05:40 UTC https://padlet.com/vdimaranan/5h6vl0u976df9crl/wish/2387564253 Tabungaw Hat (Kattukong) vdimaranan https://padlet.com/vdimaranan/5h6vl0u976df9crl/wish/2387652383 2022-11-17 03:27:25 UTC https://padlet.com/vdimaranan/5h6vl0u976df9crl/wish/2387652383 Background vdimaranan https://padlet.com/vdimaranan/5h6vl0u976df9crl/wish/2387653534 An Ilocano farmer and master craftsman resides in San Quintin, Abra; his name is Teofilo Garcia, and he was born on March 27, 1941. When he was just the age of 15, he learned the intricate crafts of gourd casque making and basket weaving from his grandfather. From there, he continues to develop and possess dexterities involved in making the finest Tabungaw Hats, such as sourcing his own materials (upo, rattan, and bamboo), building custom hand tools, and even going as far as to have a knack in determining the best raw materials to use for his craft. His pristine product carries the tradition of his province, as, during his grandfather's time, many people in their area would wear the Tabungaw hat regularly. With pride, Teofilo Garcia promotes his craft by wearing the hat whenever he gets off his farm. For those grounds, he was rightfully awarded the Gawad sa Manlilikha ng Bayan Award in 2012. To preserve his traditional art, he has since continued to teach his craft to students of San Quintin National High School and those interested in the Tabungaw hat. ]]> 2022-11-17 03:28:43 UTC https://padlet.com/vdimaranan/5h6vl0u976df9crl/wish/2387653534 Reflection vdimaranan https://padlet.com/vdimaranan/5h6vl0u976df9crl/wish/2387657232 My patriotism and love for my country and its arts come with the want to promote and support local products made in the Philippines. The Tabungaw Hat is no exception; I would definitely promote Teofilo Garcia and his crafts in my locality. Even more, because he clearly has an unbending passion and authentic devotion to the Tabungaw hats he makes, as proven by how he made it his livelihood. For those reasons, Garcia is highly commendable. I believe my fellow citizens should imbibe in themselves the values and beliefs Garcia has for his craft and general efforts toward a passion. ]]> 2022-11-17 03:33:03 UTC https://padlet.com/vdimaranan/5h6vl0u976df9crl/wish/2387657232 Ambalang Ausalin https://padlet.com/vdimaranan/5h6vl0u976df9crl/wish/2387730280 2022-11-17 05:01:43 UTC https://padlet.com/vdimaranan/5h6vl0u976df9crl/wish/2387730280 Sources: https://padlet.com/vdimaranan/5h6vl0u976df9crl/wish/2387738899 https://outoftownblog.com/meeting-apuh-ambalang-a-national-living-treasure/

It was believed that, when a Yakan girl was born, its umbilical cord would be cut using a bayre, a wooden bar used for ‘beating-in’ the weft of the loom’, so that the infant would grow into a great weaver. This tradition was done to Ambalang Ausalin, a 79-year-old textile weaver from the Yakan in Parangbasak, Lamitan City. Apuh Ambalang, as she is known by her community of weavers, is highly adored across all of Lamitan. Her exceptional talent in weaving, an extremely important craft in the Yakan community, is deemed incomparable. She is born on March 4, 1943, and lives among the best weavers in the Southern Philippines, the Yakan of Basilan.

Ambalang is renowned for weaving the sinalu’an teed, the most complicated of all Yakan woven textiles. The tennun Yakan’s classifications, hues, patterns, and meaning will serve as regular reminders to Ambalang of what it is to be Yakan. She affirms their identity as a people who consistently weave cultural threads that connect the past, present, and, ideally, the future.]]> 2022-11-17 06:47:32 UTC https://padlet.com/vdimaranan/5h6vl0u976df9crl/wish/2387813074 Inabal https://padlet.com/vdimaranan/5h6vl0u976df9crl/wish/2388027041 2022-11-17 10:08:42 UTC https://padlet.com/vdimaranan/5h6vl0u976df9crl/wish/2388027041 Background https://padlet.com/vdimaranan/5h6vl0u976df9crl/wish/2388059206 Born and raised in Bituag, Bansalan in Davao del Sur on December 12, 1920, Salinta Monon watched as her mother weaved traditional Bagobo textile fabrics until the age of 12 when she asked her mother to teach her how to loom. Her innate skill in arts allowed her to quickly learn and develop the art of weaving. In a span of 3-4 months, she can finish a 3.5 m x 42 cm fabric. Because of the decreasing amount of Bagobo-Tagabawa weavers, she is given the title "the last Bagobo weaver". Her favorite design is called the Binuwaya or crocodile because of its intricate and complicated process of weaving.

In 1998, along with Lang Dulay, Salinta Monon was awarded the GAMABA (Gawad sa Manlilikha ng Bayan) because of her mastery in weaving the traditional art of weaving and her preservation of the knowledge of the traditions in the Tagabawa-Bagobo community. She died on June 4, 2009.]]> 2022-11-17 10:36:22 UTC https://padlet.com/vdimaranan/5h6vl0u976df9crl/wish/2388059206 Reflection https://padlet.com/vdimaranan/5h6vl0u976df9crl/wish/2388575346 The perseverance of Salinta Monon is truly remarkable and admirable. Even with her work being set aside because of their family's farm production, she continued still continued her weaving. After the six pregnancies and the death of her husband, she was able to switch back to weaving full-time. From then on, she developed and improved the art of weaving which will be forever be etched in Philippine history. Her dedication in her craft allowed the living traditions of Tagabawa-Bagobo to live on even after her death. ]]> 2022-11-17 16:19:07 UTC https://padlet.com/vdimaranan/5h6vl0u976df9crl/wish/2388575346
