    Contemporary PhIlIppIne Arts from the RegIon

    Rattan, along with hay, rice


    stalks, and other indigenous and
    recyclable materials, are the
    sources of materials in creating
    artworks during the Contemporary
    Period.
    The artists in these places make use of
    almost available local materials found
    in their localities.
    (Which seems to be drying because the younger generation do not seem to have an interest in learning about them)
    SANIKULAS COOKIE
    MOLD CRAVINGS
    (Pampanga)
    These are arrowroot cookies
    that have the image of St. Nicholas
    molded on its ergo the name
    “Sanikulas”.

    The molds are an


    exceptional piece of folk’s art
    and a rarity. The molds are made of
    hardwood and are of different
    shapes and sizes. They would have
    been a carved piece and a wooden
    presser.

    Legend says that if you consume these


    cookies when you are ill, you get
    healed and recover in a shorter amount
    of time that it would usually take
    (Bulacan)

    The wrapper was made out of the delicate


    Japanese paper. The way to make it is so
    delicate that only the ones with skilled
    hands and perfect control of their motor
    skills can produce the best kind
    (Laguna)

    The art of “Taka” or “Taka-


    making” is not an exclusive Pinoy art.
    Paper Mache has been around the
    centuries.

    In the Philippines, the first


    recorded mention of created “Taka” was
    by a woman named Maria Bangue in the
    1920s.

    Taka making become more popular


    during the American colonization period
    when there was an excess of news print.
    The art of embroidering is
    happily alive and flourishing
    in the towns. It’s mostly
    done by the women who are
    carefully and delicately
    embroidering floral designs.
    Singkaban is the art of
    shaving bamboo into artful
    creations that can be used as
    décor for arches or the home.
    Skilled craftsmen patiently
    shave off the bamboo, layer by
    layer, to create curls and
    delicate twirls of their bamboo.

    Singkaban craftsmen
    create these gregariously
    designed bamboo arches for
    fiestas, weddings, and other
    celebrations that involve the
    entire community. Perhaps, it is
    our sense of “Bayanihan” that
    inspire their art form.
    PUNI OR PALM
    LEAF FOLDING
    (Bulacan)
    This folk art was intended
    to create artful toys for kids.
    However, it can also be sued to
    create woven baskets, bags, and even
    fans. The most common presentation of
    Puni art is the “Palaspas” we see
    every Holy Week.

    Because of the abundance of


    coconut leaves, the Pinoys have
    ingeniously created toys and other
    items through Puni.
